Gran Turismo 7 | Gr.1 Prototype Series: Yas Marina Circuit | Race Strategy Guide

Welcome to my guide to winning the Gr.1 Prototype Series Race around Yas Marina Circuit on Gran Turismo 7.

THIS RACE WAS COMPLETED ON HARD DIFFICULTY

THIS RACE WAS RECORDED ON UPDATE 1.65
THIS GUIDE IS UPDATED FOR UPDATE 1.65
As new game updates come out I will update this guide and mention if any car setup or strategy changes need to be made, IF their is some changes I will make a pinned comment below with the required changes.

Race Details:
Laps - X15
Fuel - X3
Tyres - X5

Car Choice: SF23 Super Formula Honda. (You can also use the Toyota variant, it doesn’t matter)

Items purchased in the Tuning Shop:
Fully Customisable: Racing Transmission
Racing Hard Tyres

RACE STRATEGY: Start the race on Racing Hard Tyres, keep the fuel in FM 1 for the entire race, no pits stops or fuel saving required to win this race. The same strategy can be done using Racing Medium Tyres instead if you can manage the tyre wear. If you’re still struggling with tyre wear even on the Racing Hard Tyres short shift from 2nd to 3rd to minimise wheel spin.

Car Setup Notes: Car Setup has a few changes compared to stock, we increase the ride height to manage the kerbs, increase the downforce to give use more rear end stability through the slow corners and we use the Fully Customisable Racing Transmission to increase our top speed a little along the back straights.

I have my Brake Balance set to -2, this is personal preference and not required.

I have my Traction Control set to 0 but that’s personal preference and not required.

If you have any questions or are struggling with the strategy please comment below and I will do my best to help you.
