Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges: N It to Win It
The final Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges for January 2026 are here, arriving on your consoles as the clock strikes midnight on Thursday. These challenges are a special bonus for players who've completed the main GT Cafe mode, offering a fresh set of five diverse challenges each week.
Four of these challenges are standard race events on World Circuits, while the fifth is a special event that could be a race, a time trial, or a mission-type challenge. Completing all five challenges within the seven-day window unlocks bonus prizes, in addition to the regular event credits, making it a great way to catch up on missed events.
Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges – January Week 4 Events
European FR Challenge 550 – Red Bull Ring
This week's challenge is a straightforward race at the Red Bull Ring, rewarding 25,000 credits for victory. You'll need a front-engined, rear-wheel drive road car from a European manufacturer. The '550' in the name is a Performance Point (PP) guide for a close race with the AI.
Sunday Cup – Brands Hatch
Brands Hatch's Sunday Cup is a relatively recent addition, offering 37,000 credits for just five laps. Road cars are the only requirement, so feel free to unleash an overpowered exotic or even a Vision GT car. Just be cautious of lapping slower drivers.
Special Event – Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve
This special event is a regular race, but it introduces the Hyundai Elantra N performance sedan. Most rival cars are standard-tuned, but the leading yellow machine is likely to be faster. You might need a few adjustments to compete for the 72,000 credits on offer over four laps.
American Clubman Cup 700 – Mount Panorama
The prize money jumps to 94,000 credits for this event at Mount Panorama. You can use any road or pre-tuned American car, with the '700' in the name referring to a PP level for a fair fight with the AI, not a car selection limit.
Gr.1 Prototype Cup – Circuit de Sainte-Croix
The final challenge takes us to the fictional Circuit de Sainte-Croix for the Gr.1 Prototype Cup. Any car under the 950PP limit with Racing Tires will do, making it accessible. This is an eight-lap challenge on the huge C course, so manage fuel consumption and tire wear, with a massive 210,000 credits up for grabs.
Weekly Challenge Rewards
Completing these challenges offers bonus rewards that increase in value with each completed event. These rewards are sent as tickets to your Garage's Gifts section and must be redeemed before expiration.
This week's rewards include:
- 100,000cr ticket for completing one event.
- 200,000cr ticket for finishing three events.
- A rare Six-Star Car ticket, granting access to a Brand Central car worth at least 480,000cr, including Invitation-only cars.
Accessing Weekly Challenges
To participate, you must have completed GT Cafe Menu Book 39 and watched the ending movie. The events update at midnight local time on Friday mornings, so expect the next set of challenges on January 30th.
