Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

[AlexWilmot]

Did a test run for the WTC 900 race in the Gr.2 McLaren,
Might change rear compression down by 2 and reduce rear frequency by 5

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...

I spun out last lap. Cost me probably 25 seconds. 😂🍻🍻🍻

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges: Radical Chic​

2024’s second set of Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges is now becoming available to players around the world, with the change arriving at midnight local time in each time zone...

 

[Zap Rowsdower]

This is, what, the third Radical event? I wish they'd add them permanently into the game as they're fun cars to drive!

 

[Aphelion]

This feature has a lot of potential, that just kinda isn't being utilised. More events? More unique events? More challenging events for higher payouts? It doesn't really seem like it would be very hard to make it significantly more engaging.

It takes about an hour total to complete 5 events, and then I have nothing to do in GT7 for another week, and this week in particular won't even earn a million credits (unless you get lucky on the roulette I guess) which I honestly feel should be the baseline. PD always manages to stumble at the last hurdle.

2nd, I believe. But the event at Road Atlanta was pretty fun. I'm looking forward to this week's.

And I agree, it would be nice to have these races permanently.

 

[Zap Rowsdower]

TBH, I wish they had more single-make races in general. Give us Porsche Cup races with just the Cayman Gr4, Ferrari Challenge with just 458s, etc. I know you can make them in custom modes, but there's so many options that they're leaving on the table.

Asking why I don't see this at my place? Is it due to a low experience level? I think I'm around level 20-something.

The very last sentence of the article explains it.

 

[TumeK5]

PD at it again...whenever the limited time event isn't Radical or 911 GT3 RS, it's something insufferable like the Tesla. Is that the gist of it?

Don't remember many of the other limited time events, all I can remember is the one with Civics at the Glen, which, by the way, I didn't mind at all.

But they should hurry up and be more clever with these.

Have you got PTFD - Post-Traumatic FIAT Disorder?

Have you got PTFD - Post-Traumatic FIAT Disorder?

Ah yes, then there was that...not sure how I feel about it.

I still remember PD encouraging to use brakes, even though only the last turn required them.

We need a Himedic one-make.

Don't tempt them!

I second the motion.

Meh events and prizes this week but the ceramic brakes I'll get from that 5* ticket stuff will make it all worth it.

I’m planning on getting the shaft or shafts. 🙂

 

[BlackedoutRX7LM]

Had to come here to figure how to access the Nations Cup race. I spent all week thinking it had something to do with sport mode lol. Saw the posts about how difficult the race so went for it on easy mode with racing softs. Pit after 9 laps and ended up winning by 11 secs with best lap at 1:32.1

Driving the X2019 with a controller really takes a toll on my hands, had to take a break when I pit

This sums up every title since GT4.

To think what PD might have achieved if they focused on perfecting their good ideas, rather than coming up with mishmash in each release.

 

[kowalski__1]

Did the 5 races,ended up winning a couple of cars,67 Nova(daily) and an RX-7(5*) 🥱

 

[slthree]

They can give me a radical race every week, preferably back at Road Atlanta

That was my favorite race of all the weekly races since they started it.

I would love to see some longer endurance races.

I’m gonna be optimistic and start planning what I’m gonna spend my Cr.1M on!

 

[CitroenCX]

I'm still a bit salty about not be able to finish the X2019 Nations Cup which happened to be a part of last week's weekly challenges and weirdly I can't race it and it keep giving the error of the event not being available so I can't acquire that last ticket that gives out 75 million Japanese Cr.
Hopefully no more region sensitive and sport mode related challenge because complication like I experienced might happen again.
On topic, this week's challenges are meh though, nothing but low earning events and tickets are getting back to being kind of stingy again.
Not sure I'll ever finish that 900 PP race on the challenges though, 9x fuel consumption 13x fuel consumption for 10 laps and 16 million JP Cr. is just bad time whichever way you look at it.
Guess I'll be back to grinding at Le Mans for 82 million JP Cr. Easy diff. clean race in no time.

All you needed to do was be collector level 50 and start menu book 49! It wasn’t region sensitive or sport mode related!

I'm already at level 50 ages ago but I guess I take the challenges too late in I think as I only have 3 hours left to finish them and when I choose X2019 event it won't proceed, just give me "This event is not yet available" message instead.

but you needed to start Cafe Menu book 49, which you didn't if you got :

"This event is not yet available" message

Well if you’re level 50 already then all you need to do is start the extra menu book!

Too Late, but thanks for the tip, as I'm never a fan of cafes and menu books.
And not actively finishing the menus for months now.
Waiting for certain cars to pop up just to finish a menu make them boring and very time consuming.
