This week brings three new combinations in Gran Turismo 7 for Week 26 of 2026. We're heading to Kyoto Driving Park Miyabi, Autodrome Lago Maggiore Full Course Reverse, and the 24 Heures du Mans Racing Circuit.
It's a properly varied set this week. A one-make kart race at Miyabi, a short and sharp Gr.3 sprint at Lago Maggiore, and a proper Gr.1 endurance run at Le Mans with mixed tyre compounds in play. Three completely different challenges.
Daily Race A: Kyoto Driving Park Miyabi in the Racing Kart 125 Shifter
Kyoto Driving Park Miyabi in Japan spans 1.953 m with 7 corners and 17,5 m of elevation, all flowing bends, elevation shifts, and scenic mountain views. It's one of the nicer layouts in the game.
The Racing Kart 125 Shifter for 8 laps is a one-make, so there's no car choice, everyone's in the same kart, and the whole race comes down to driving. Karts at Miyabi are a riot: no aero, all mechanical grip, and the elevation changes mess with your braking more than you'd expect in something this light.
Daily Race B: Autodrome Lago Maggiore Full Course Reverse in Gr.3
Autodrome Lago Maggiore Full Course Reverse in GT World spans 5.809 m with 17 corners and 74 m of elevation. It's a long, flowing GT7 original, and in reverse the rhythm is completely different to the layout most people know.
Gr.3 on Racing Mediums for just 4 laps is short and sharp, so qualifying matters more than usual. On a 5.809 m, 4 laps goes quickly, and with no pit stops it's a flat-out sprint where track position is king. The reverse direction flips your braking instincts, so the drivers who've put in practice laps on this specific layout will have a real edge.
Daily Race C: 24 Heures du Mans Racing Circuit in Gr.1
The 24 Heures du Mans Racing Circuit is the headline venue this week, and the tyre list tells you everything you need to know: with Racing Hards, Intermediates and Wets all available, this is a wet or changeable-weather race.
Gr.1 prototypes at Le Mans for 14 laps with ×4 fuel, ×2 tyre wear, and one mandatory pit stop. The ×4 fuel multiplier is the big one here. Le Mans is a long lap with huge full-throttle sections down the Mulsanne, so ×4 fuel means you're going to be managing the tank hard, and fuel strategy could easily decide the race.
Final Thoughts
A really nicely balanced week. A close-quarters kart battle at Miyabi to warm up, a short and sharp Gr.3 sprint at Lago Maggiore Reverse for those chasing rating, and a strategic Gr.1 endurance run at Le Mans that'll separate the prepared from the rest, especially if the weather plays a part.
