This week brings three new combinations in Gran Turismo 7 for Week 30 of 2026. We're heading to Grand Valley, Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit, and Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve.
It's a properly varied set this week. A classic Honda one-make at Grand Valley, a Gr.3 sprint at Brands Hatch, and a proper Gr.4 strategy race at Gilles-Villeneuve with tyre choice and heavy wear in play. Three completely different challenges.
Daily Race A: Grand Valley in the Honda NSX Type R '92
Grand Valley in GT World spans 5.04 km with 18 corners and 57 m of elevation. It's coastal cliffs and the famous bridge, quintessential Gran Turismo, and one of the most loved original circuits in the game.
The Honda NSX Type R '92 on Sports Mediums for 5 laps is a one-make, so there's no car choice, everyone's in the same iconic '90s supercar. The NSX is mid-engined and beautifully balanced, so it's forgiving and rewarding to drive, but Sports Mediums keep the grip window narrow enough that smoothness pays. Grand Valley's flowing sections reward carrying momentum, so the drivers who can string the corners together cleanly will pull a gap.
Daily Race B: Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit in Gr.3
Gr.3 on Racing Hards for 6 laps is the bread-and-butter Daily B format. No pit stops, manageable wear, and a category that rewards clean racing. Brands Hatch is unforgiving, Paddock Hill Bend right after the start will catch you out if you brake too late, and Druids is a magnet for over-ambitious dive-bombs. On the GP loop, the drop down to Surtees and the climb back up add a real rhythm challenge.
Daily Race C: Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Gr.4
Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Canada spans 4.36 km with 14 corners and just 5 m of elevation, with a long 1.17 km straight. It's a stop-and-go circuit, long straights broken up by tight chicanes, and the Wall of Champions at the final chicane lives up to its name in GT7 too.
Gr.4 on Racing Hards for 10 laps with no pit stops and standard fuel and wear. This is a flat-out sprint rather than a strategy race, so it's all about pace and clean racing over the distance. The big story here is the slipstream, that 1.17 km straight makes the tow enormous, so expect big draft battles and plenty of overtaking into the chicanes.
Final Thoughts
A nicely balanced week. The NSX one-make at Grand Valley will reward smooth momentum driving, the Gr.3 sprint at Brands Hatch will reward nerve and clean lines, and the Gilles-Villeneuve Gr.4 race will reward slipstream tactics and consistent pace over the distance.
The Gilles-Villeneuve race is the one we'd circle this week. Ten laps of Gr.4 with that massive tow down the straights should make for some of the closest racing of the week.
Let us know what you think about this combination. It looks like it could be a very interesting one.
