The Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial is back with a new and exciting challenge. This time, drivers head to Watkins Glen International Long Course in the United States, behind the wheel of the Lexus LC500 '17. The event runs from January 8, 2026 through January 22, 2026.
Watkins Glen International Long Course stretches across 5.42 km, featuring 11 corners and a 41 meter elevation change. A long time GT7 favorite, the circuit blends high speed sections, smooth flow, and classic racing character.
This is a fairly casual time trial. The Lexus LC500 '17 is not the fastest car on the roster, but it delivers a smooth, enjoyable driving experience. The pairing is especially interesting since this car rarely appears in time trials. Track limits are also a major factor here, as it is easy to invalidate a lap if you push too far, so precision is key.
Following the Dragon Trail Seaside event in the Pagani Zonda R ’09, this Watkins Glen challenge arrives at the perfect moment, keeping the online schedule feeling fresh, balanced, and engaging.
