After thousands of laps at Daytona in an Abarth, this will be a piece of cake!

I got the RB race done finally. It took 2 tries. I used @praiano63 's tune. It was crazy how the normal transmission allows you to go faster. The 1st try I got to lap 6 and started pressing and I had a bad spin going into the tunnel because I took a bad line on T1. Started over and I realized as long as I took the right line I didn't have to slow down on T1. I used RS tires and pitted after lap 7. I was in 2nd and it looked like that is where I would finish but I was able to catch Dumont and pass him but it was back and forth until something happened to him not sure what it was because he finished like 4th. I used the GTR 17 for the Tokyo race and the Valkyrie for the other two. I know it was overkill but I was in a hurry. I think on Northern Isle I ended doing like 12 second laps
Anyway I hope the are no Tokyo races this week

Last week we got burntout by another Brands Hatch Sunday Cup event and a Porsche one make.
Imagine if this week we get a Porsche One Make at Brands Hatch. 😂

I also like the ring, and like racing in it, even though I suck there.
Hopefully the car limitation will allow to tweak the diffucilty to keep it challanging for the most of us

yep that's not motivating.
Trial Mountain ? AGAIN ??? It was the 6th event of this week's WC plus the current TT, I'd like a bit more variety please.
Special event with the radical AGAIN ? This car is cool, but among the 500 available, they could chose another one for a new special event.

Maybe PD is trying to tie up the different sections of the game?
This week we have a TM wtc900 race, a time trial at TM and last week a X2019 race at it as well. Last week we had a 1 hour endurance race at Spa while the time trial with the alfa 4C were active at the same Spa.

It can deliver 1M too :
| 5 Star | |
|---|---|
| 100,000 Cr. | 36% |
| 500,000 Cr. | 13% |
| 1,000,000 Cr. | 1% |
| Car (B)* | 20% |
| Car (C)* | 7% |
| Special Tuning Part† | 10% |
| Engine | 5% |
| Invitation | 8% |
Maybe they lack any creativity.
Like for the special event with the Radical. Cool, but aren't they other fun cars available for a special event ?

So you are telling us that you gonna miss the opportunity to a lightweight, carbon made , higher technology.... shaft ?
God will punish you for that , you are ungrateful mate 😂 .
I deal with weekly races as another griding alternative.
I play them once ( mostly ) and trying to receive- when is possible - the CRB .
Of course many people enjoy them and many others they see it as a challenge by putting their selves in a " weaker" situation when they choose car for them.
All in all is good to have them anyway.

Despite the Radical being a fun car to dtive, I think I'll pass on the challenges this week because I've completed them all already in the events directory.
My gaming time is gonna be scarce these days so I'd rather do or complete something else in the game.

While I like the idea of the weekly challenges, as they keep me coming back to the game with my main account, I would love to see PD put together something more special than what they are doing. Grabbing 5 random races from the game and grouping them together, not even in to any sort of “championship”, feels about as lazy as you can get. I appreciate the credit tickets and even some of the roulette tickets, but it’s pretty lazy.
I would instead love it if they either:
1) Grouped a series of races together in to a “championship” and required you to win the championship to get the big ticket prize, or
2) Only have 1 race but make it a special event that had more of an endurance feel, something like 20 or 30 laps, or maybe a half hour timed race, that was a good challenge for people. I would relate it to the 2022 World Series special event at Spa in the Gr.3 cars (Manufacturers Cup event). That was a great race that took me probably 10-15 tries to win. You had weather, tire strategies, fuel strategies etc. to contend with and it was really rewarding when you beat it. 1M credit prize. Seriously, an event like that every week would be amazing. Hell, I’ll take that every month if that’s all PD can do.
But as of now, the weekly challenges are just a thing to do. Rerun races you have already beaten. They really aren’t challenging any more. I’m taking cars with 100 less PP out there and trying to beat the races just to give them any sort of challenge.

Quite often, these weekly challenges are a gateway for finishing some of the single player events. Coupled with the Event Directory, easily switching between races, I tend to take on any series using the same car until they're all done. Then when another race pops up I can challenge myself with a different vehicle and repeat.

Even though the known credit rewards this week are kinda low, 300k plus the race prize for 3 out of 5 would still be somewhat decent for time investment.
The 5-Star ticket is a crapshoot, of course. Like @smoothbore12 said, might get the "shaft"!

I've been grinding the TT At trial mountain so I figured my best bet was to wait until I had a really good handle on the Supra then finish the weekly challenge. Felt super easy to me but I've got literal hours and hours in this week at trial mountain so there is that...

This! I'd love a Championship every week!
If I can add my 2 cents, I'd glady take a different endurance race every week. PD could (I hope they're reading this thread) even throwback some classic endurances from the past. Grand Valley 300kms, Tsukuba 4hrs, Suzuka1000kms for example.
Nostalgia is a big thing that PD doesn't know how to use it.
