This week brings three new combinations in Gran Turismo 7 for Week 25 of 2026. We're heading to Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix Layout (No Chicane), Tokyo Expressway South Counterclockwise, and Sardegna Road Track Layout B.
It's a properly varied set this week. A nimble one-make at Barcelona, a Gr.3 night sprint on the Tokyo streets, and a proper Gr.4 run at Sardegna with a mandatory pit. Three completely different challenges.
Daily Race A: Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya (No Chicane) in the Alpine A110 '17
Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix Layout (No Chicane) in Spain spans 4,730 m with 14 corners and 30 m of elevation. It's the F1 staple, and with the chicane removed, the long straight and the final-corner exit onto it decide your whole lap.
The Alpine A110 '17 on Sports Hards for 5 laps is a lovely combo. The A110 is light, mid-engined, and rotates beautifully, so it's all about carrying momentum through the flowing middle sector. Sports Hards keep the grip narrow enough that smoothness pays, and getting a clean exit out of the final corner is everything here because it feeds the long run to Turn 1.
Daily Race B: Tokyo Expressway South Counterclockwise in Gr.3
Tokyo Expressway South Counterclockwise in Japan spans 6,560 m with 16 corners and 24 m of elevation. It's a night street circuit with concrete walls everywhere and track limits that punish every mistake.
Gr.3 on Racing Mediums for 5 laps is the bread-and-butter Daily B format. No pit stops, manageable wear, and a car category that rewards clean racing. The walls are the story here. There's no room for error on a street circuit this tight, and the counterclockwise direction flips the rhythm for anyone used to the standard layout. Getting through lap one without kissing a wall is half the battle.
Daily Race C: Sardegna Road Track Layout B in Gr.4
Sardegna Road Track Layout B in GT World spans 3,893 km with 13 corners and 56 m of elevation. It's a coastal road circuit, the kind of flowing layout that punishes mistakes hard because there's gravel and barriers waiting where you'd least like them.
Gr.4 on Racing Mediums for 15 laps with ×2 fuel, ×4 tyre wear, and one mandatory pit stop. This is the strategy race of the week, and the multipliers are aggressive enough that race pace alone won't win it. ×4 wear over 15 laps will chew through the Racing Mediums, and ×2 fuel.
Final Thoughts
A nicely balanced week. The Alpine A110 at Barcelona will reward smooth momentum driving, the Tokyo Gr.3 sprint will reward wall-avoidance and clean laps, and the Sardegna Gr.4 endurance run will reward proper strategy and tyre management.
The Sardegna race is the one I'd circle this week. 15 laps of Gr.4 with ×4 wear and a mandatory pit is a proper strategic test, and it's the race where preparation pays off most.
Let us know what you think about this combination. It looks like it could be a very interesting one.
