Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

[Tmo343]

Not a bad bunch. Haven't driven any of the SF cars yet so not sure how that'll go for me. The American 700 chose is the worst of that set as Bathurst seems to have a C8 that just disappears from the rest of the field, not uncommon for it to be like 40 seconds ahead of the next car.

The 6 star is always appreciated as it gives some great high value cars, Thought it was a million and up but seems like it might be 750k or up as the last one I got gave me an 800k car

Too late to predict the car.

Roulette:

• GT by Citroen road car
• R18 ‘11
• RB X2019
• M6 Motorsport GT3
• Lamborghini VGT

Of course I got the Citroen.

Anyway, used my JTCC Group A ADVAN E30 M3, G.T.350 ‘66, ATCC Group A Gibson Motorsport R32, Gr. B 86, SF23 Toyota

The GT by Citroen is an invitation required car.

A nice reward in my opinion 😃

I agree but I also don’t, a lot of the events allow you to use these cars you mentioned, I used the s600 at broad bean the other day.
The event doesn’t have to be a specialised one make or category for you to use it, you could probably use the s600 for the second event of these new ones, some of the Italian cars could be used for the first

You are right, and I did use the S600 at BB last week too, but I would be a lot more excited about that race being a selection of older small cars. As it was, you're in a pretty little roadster flying around a Fit, some Priuses and other pedestrian competition. I'd like to see some "Classic Japanese Roadster", "Modified Kei car", "Detroit Muscle Car Challenge" and the like... more specificity that favors cars that aren't used often because they aren't competitive against the best cars in their PP range, or something... I could just be whining and not making any sense either. Who knows!

I guess I may be asking for the moon here, because this would require selecting a batch of cars that would be eligible for a race outside of just PP point standings. They could do something like they have been doing lately in the Dailies and select a group of cars that you can choose from which would make for a much more "realistic" mix of cars.

Regardless, I always have fun with each new batch of races and this week won't be any different. I'm stoked there's a reason to use the SF cars this week. In VR they are just next level fun.

What about the last Nations Cup race? No track or car listed. What is the new track? That is the main thing.

You've landed in the wrong thread for that.

We brought it up back in December when the current Exhibition Season was announced, as you'll see in this article:

Gran Turismo World Series Exhibition Seasons Return from December 30

With the 2023 Gran Turismo World Series now officially concluded -- and Team Spain and Team Nissan crowned as champions -- Polyphony Digital has announced the first Exhibition Series for 2024, beginning on December 30. The relatively compact schedule sees four races in each of the two championshi

However, we don't know that there is a new track; it may be a new car and it may be nothing at all.

Nonetheless, it's a discussion best-placed in another thread as this one is for the Weekly Challenges. Perhaps the GT World Series thread (to which the above article links) or the January update prediction thread - as there's no specific thread for the update we're expecting but which has yet to be properly confirmed:

January 2024 prediction thread

Hello, As I see that no one has created a thread to predict January update yet here I am opening one. My predictions: Cars: -Genesis Vision Gran Turismo -Genesis Vision Gran Turismo Gr1 variation -Nissan Hyper Force concept -Aston Martin Vantage 2018 -Aston Martin Vantage GT3 2018 -Volkswagen...

The economics still don’t add up to buy a Super Formula.

I see you, PD.

Sold that joint. It’s an important car in Gran Turismo’s history, but I still haven’t warmed to its design. The Gr.3 and Gr.4, in black & yellow color combo, looks fine though.

6* car ticket for grabs in the new challenges 🔥

 

[Fuzzi0n]

I like the 6 star car tickets, usually give something interesting or valuable to sell. Races this week are alright, Super Formula is easy with the SF19 on RS/RS, was 30 seconds up the road without too much effort. The field in the 700PP American race is a little weird because the C8 is much quicker than the rest and even the C7 will be a decent distance ahead of the others, used the fully modified Tesla I had from a few weeks ago. I'd prefer if they kept giving us the 6 star tickets and perhaps try to give us a unique race every week too.

 

[Lomic]

Tried my Escudo for the 3rd event but I might have ruined its settings with 600PP tuning from @Pizzapants, it takes years to accelerate, which in this very curvy track is not ideal.

Any hint of an easy car to win this event (I am not a fan of rally or rally-cross), can't remember with which car I did this event previously.

Thanks.

Last time out I used the celica rally car with mid or high rpm turbo (can’t remember what the biggest available is for this car!) and that made it very easy

ah yes that was this car I used, I remember now, thanks ! finished 2nd but that will do !

[Edit]Done and dusted, even finished 1st ! Which is an improvement for the completion of events. I need to do the WTC600 event on this track and finish 1st too.

 

[Chikane_GTR]

This weeks luck cars are.

And the gift car from the 6* car ticket stuff.

Again with this car I also got this car in my last 6* car ticket stuff.
You know I'm starting to think this tickets are staged.

 

[Silver_Wolf]

Well got through last week's races in time yesterday so got my prize tickets but this week's look a much more interesting set of races so looking forward to playing them tonight.

This weeks luck cars are.

Is this the scratched version or does that not exist in GT7?

Ok, I am that guy that puts on a rear wing on the Miura and likes it, so who am I to judge...

But WTF did you do to the S Barker Tourer...???

There should be law against doing somethig like that!


BTW I guess no six star ticket for me this week...Top 3 in a Super Formula car will be quite a challenge for me...

Its stock.

Or do you mean the livery? if so its just a random livery I put on it.

It's the Falken S Barker Tourer with the Drift package complete with livery 🤣

 

[MoLiEG]

That 6 star ticket sounds promising.

But of course I'm gonna get a useless VGT out of it 💀

 

[330_D]

Got a stupid Lexus GT500 for the ticket. This week's races suck. 😂

 

[Bass Addict]

The 6* car ticket saved the day! The Daily Workout 3* gave me a disappointing 5,000 credits along with a weekly challenge haul of 850,200, I was feeling very underwhelmed. To my great surprise, the 6* car ticket was an Invitation car that I have been waiting for: Enzo Ferrari '02 valued at 2.5 million credits. That is more like it!

The Raptor. In real life my very similar F-150 makes short work of the rice burners. It stood to reason the same would hold true in game, and it did, even at the highest difficulty. I have the gears set to minimum for this pain in the rear course.

The Citroen GT is a great car if you can get hold of it while working through the menu books. It'll decimate several of them.

If you think that S Barker Tourer is outrageous, please join me in the Nations Cup this weekend. I grabbed a shiny new SF 23 and went out of my way to create the most garish, disturbing, G rated paint job I could come up with.

 

[Batschisane52]

Or do you mean the livery?

That!

 

[GlockPants]

Here's what I used this week.

Only made modifications to the Supra and GT which consisted of Sport Soft tires. The SF23 used a tune from @praiano63 using RS tires and allowed me to get through the race without pitting.

Surprised by the Bathurst race, though. The C8 finished 20 seconds ahead of me! I'll have to revisit this race later.

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Looking forward to the 6 star car ticket!

I take it back. I was awarded a VGT. I am no longer excited for this ticket.

 

[smoothbore12]

I hate F1 races but nothing compares to that " insult " Barcelona layout .🤐

6* ticket gave an AMG VGT that sold less than 500k .
Worst weekly creditchallenge .

 

[Tommy_D]

Hmm, I may try a 20M credit challenge this week.

 

[Batschisane52]

I loved it!

Hated that track before, but with my latest custom grid I just did a 40 minute race there a few days ago...so I knew it really well
And that helps a lot.
It always does help, when you know the track really good, but even more on this one. The first times I drove there, it felt like a maze and I never knew where I was and where to go, although it is such a short track...

And I could use my rally tuned Lancia Delta there(you can use road cars there although it's named something with Group B in it...) and it really rocked that show...
I like all of the new weeklies(for different reasons), except the F1 one...

 

[GlockPants]

I also received a VGT in my car ticket. The Honda one. Probably won't use it, but it saved me 1M credits for the collection.

Meh.

I think that Honda is one of the only VGT cars I've been able to find that is a good car for Tokyo. Most of them are too slow on the straights or have way too much PP and cant be tuned down low enough. Of course the Aston Martin VGT is the best for Tokyo, but that Honda was a fun car.

The WTC 600 in Tokyo done without exploits is genuinely one of the hardest races in single player in gt7 - share your setups, tips, and cars

Mia gives "The Buster" a run for his money. Of course she learned from Hector that these Hondas need Spoon engines with T66 turbos to compete, so she got her brother and the boys to make a special order from Japan. Honda Integra Type R (DC2) '98 (Engine swapped) Race Time: 26:54.573 Fastest...

My god I just hate that C8. It shouldn't be that freaking fast. I mean I know it can be very fast. But not like that.

That's why I use RM tires on that race and ram that thing to oblivion once I catch it.

 

[Tommy_D]

I can't remember, but is N2O prohibited on that Clubman 700 race? Been a while since I beat it. Think I used a C7 ZR-1 last time.
