This week brings three new combinations in Gran Turismo 7 for week 18 of 2026. We are heading to Watkins Glen International Short Course, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, and Daytona International Speedway Road Course.
Daily Race A
Let’s begin with Daily Race A. This is a demanding combination, mainly because of the car. We are at Watkins Glen International Short Course in the Mercedes Benz W 196 R 55. The race runs for six laps.
As usual, fuel and tire settings are straightforward, so there is not much to manage there. Even so, the car itself is tricky to handle, which makes this a real challenge. Despite that, it should be a rewarding combination.
Daily Race B
Next up is Daily Race B at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. This time we are in Group 3 on Racing Hard tires for five laps. Again, fuel and tire wear are not a concern. What stands out here is the V12 Vantage sitting at the top of the leaderboards, which is not something we usually see.
This track is very demanding, especially with how much you need to attack the curbs. The cars can be unstable over them, and mistakes can cost a lot of time. It is a solid combo overall, though overtaking will not be easy.
Daily Race C
Finally, Daily Race C takes us to Daytona International Speedway Road Course. In this race, you will need to use both Racing Medium and Racing Soft tires over 11 laps. Fuel consumption is set to times 2, and tire wear is set to times 4.
Tire management will be key, so you will need to plan your strategy carefully. It is an interesting combination, and we can expect plenty of overtakes along with the usual penalties at this track.
Overall, let us know what you think about this week’s daily races.
