Your guide to Gran Turismo 7’s Daily Races, w/c 16th October: Morizo magic

This week’s Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races feature the Toyota GR Corolla MORIZO Edition at Maggiore, Gr.3s from Road Atlanta and a testing Gr.4 endurance race at Barcelona.

This week’s Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races see the return of set-up tweakery in Race A, with Races B and C devoted to Gr.3 and Gr.4 events respectively.

All three races allow some degree of set-up changing in fact, with Races B and C permitting players to alter brake balance alongside limited suspension modifications.

Race A offers the most scope for improvement, however, with players able to freely tune their cars, providing the kind of old-school Gran Turismo thrills of yesteryear.

You can find GT7’s Daily Races in the game’s Sport Mode; offering online ranked racing with players of a similar skill level based on previous performances.

Race A

Gran Turismo 7, Toyota GR Corolla Morizo Edition, Maggiore

The Toyota GR Corolla MORIZO Edition first became available in GT7’s Brand Central in September, after a period in the Toyota GAZOO Racing GT Cup.

The GR Corolla MORIZO Edition is a one-of-200 special edition car. Toyota has stripped out the back seats on a standard GR Corolla, shortened its gear ratios, increased its rigidity and given the car a racier tune-up to make it handle better than ever. 

Toyota’s ebullient president – and amateur racing driver – Akio Toyoda is the inspiration behind the car’s name, driving in races under the pseudonym Morizo Kinoshita (hence the Morizo Edition). Toyoda helped develop the car, following on from his heavy involvement in the Toyota GR Yaris programme.

Players can tune the Corolla to 600PP; our advice is to focus on suspension parts, brakes and then power, with any discrepancies countered by the addition of ballast or a power restrictor.

In terms of set-up, lowering the car’s ride height and increasing negative camber will gain the most lap time, but check out our front-wheel-drive set-up guide for more information.

Recommended car: Toyota GR Corolla MORIZO Edition ’22 (Brand Central, 71,500 Credits or free rental)

Race B

Gran Turismo 7, Road Atlanta, BMW M6 GT3

In honour of the Petit Le Mans over the weekend, Race B is held at Road Atlanta.

Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, to give its official title, is a blend of fast corners and a high-speed back straight, so it requires a car with equally good aerodynamic grip and top speed.

Our car of choice is the BMW M6 GT3. Its gargantuan dimensions belie its agility in Race B, with enough Bavarian grunt to propel it along Road Atlanta’s 1km long back straight.

Brake balance and some suspension settings can be changed; our advice is to move the brake balance rearwards to aid turn-in, with a full breakdown of suspension options available in our GT7 set-up guide.

Recommended car: BMW M6 GT3 Endurance and Sprint versions (Brand Central, 450,000 Credits or free rental)

Race C

Gran Turismo 7, Mazda3 Race Car, Gr.4, Barcelona

The MAZDA3 Gr.4 arrived in GT7’s v1.38 update, adding a genuinely competitive front-wheel-drive vehicle to the Gr.4 class.

Its frugal four-cylinder engine also makes it a great choice for Race C this week, seeing as there’s a 9x fuel consumption multiplier in play.

There’s a 3x tyre wear multiplier too, with players obliged to make a pitstop and use hard compound racing tyres. With softs, the only other tyre alternative players have a quandary over nursing these for a short while before a longer stint on hards.

And tyre wear is a huge factor around Barcelona, thanks to its multitude of tyre-shreddingly high-speed corners.

Similar to Race B, in Race C players can alter brake balance with partial suspension changes also possible. For set-up advice check out our handy GT7 set-up guide.

Recommended car: MAZDA3 Gr.4 (Brand Central, 350,000 Credits or free rental)
