This week brings three new combinations in Gran Turismo 7 for Week 37 of 2026. We're heading to Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, Mount Panorama Circuit, and Dragon Trail Seaside. It's a properly varied set this week, with a genuinely intimidating Race B and a demanding strategy race to finish.
Daily Race A: Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta in the RCZ Gr.3 Road Car
Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta in the United States spans 4.09 km with 12 corners and 38 m of elevation, with a longest straight of 1.28 km. It's a fast, undulating American circuit with a genuinely daunting run through the esses and a blind crest onto the back straight that catches people out.
The RCZ Gr.3 Road Car on Sports Mediums for 7 laps is a one-make, so everyone's in the same car and it comes down purely to driving. It's a road-going version of the Gr.3 racer, so you get the aggressive bodywork without the full race car grip levels, and on Sports Mediums the tyres will let go if you overdrive it.
Road Atlanta rewards commitment through the fast sections, particularly the esses in the middle of the lap where lifting costs you a chunk of time. That long back straight makes slipstream a real factor too, so expect draft battles into the final chicane and plenty of position changes over the 7 laps. Clean racing wins, but you'll need to be brave through the quick stuff to stay in the fight.
Daily Race B: Mount Panorama Circuit in Gr.4
Mount Panorama in Australia spans 6.21 km with 23 corners and a staggering 174 m of elevation change, with a longest straight of 1.92 km. It's one of the great circuits in the world, a fast and genuinely dangerous ribbon over the mountain with walls waiting everywhere and almost no room for error through the top section.
Gr.4 on Racing Hards for just 4 laps is short and sharp, so qualifying matters enormously. On a lap this long, 4 laps goes by quickly, and with no pit stops it's a flat-out sprint. The run across the top of the mountain through the Esses and over Skyline is intimidating in anything, and in a Gr.4 car with walls that close, one brush with the barrier ends your race entirely.
Conrod Straight and the run down to the chase offer your best overtaking opportunities, so save your moves for there rather than trying anything ambitious over the mountain. Keep it tidy up top, be patient, and let the mistakes come from others. I'd confirm the current Gr.4 meta at Bathurst once a few hundred entries are in, particularly since the 1.71 physics changes may have shifted things.
Daily Race C: Dragon Trail Seaside in Gr.3
Dragon Trail Seaside spans 5.30 km with 18 corners and 57 m of elevation. It's the seaside esplanade and the long back straight, flowing and dramatic, and a track that's featured plenty in past rotations without ever really disappointing.
Gr.3 for 12 laps with a choice of Racing Mediums or Racing Softs, a steep ×3 fuel, and ×6 tyre wear, with no mandatory pit stop. This is the strategy race of the week, and the multipliers are aggressive enough that raw pace won't be enough on its own.
The tyre choice is the heart of it. The Softs will give you early pace but will fall off hard under ×6 wear, while the Mediums are the steadier long-run play at the cost of some initial speed. With no forced stop, you can attempt a no-stop run, but 12 laps at ×6 wear is a serious ask on either compound, so a voluntary stop for fresh rubber might genuinely be the faster route.
Then there's the fuel. ×3 over 12 laps means real lift-and-coast and short-shifting, particularly down that long back straight, or you simply won't make the distance. Managing both fuel and tyres while keeping enough pace to stay in the fight is the whole challenge here.
This is the kind of race where a slower, smarter driver comfortably beats a faster one who burns through their Softs in the opening laps. Worth running some practice laps to work out your fuel numbers and see how each compound degrades before jumping into a lobby.
Final Thoughts
A really nicely varied week. The RCZ one-make at Road Atlanta will reward bravery through the esses and slipstream awareness, the Gr.4 sprint over Bathurst will reward nerve and clean driving over the mountain, and the Dragon Trail Gr.3 race will reward proper fuel and tyre strategy.
Bathurst is the one we'd circle for pure enjoyment, since four laps of Mount Panorama in Gr.4 is about as thrilling as Daily Races get. But Dragon Trail is the one that'll actually separate the prepared from the rest.
Let us know what you think about this combination. It looks like it could be a very interesting one.
