Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

The Porsche 918 around the Barcelona rallycross circuit is great fun!

 

[LSFDRX]

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.

For the weeklies this week I did them all in VR and used the following cars:

Spoiler: I even did a brief clip of the NSX GrB around catalunya

These were my machines for this week, won a Laferrari on the 6* car ticket🤭 + 500K from daily marathon that was a 5*

Very easy victory a Mount Panorama with the a Mustang (not sure which one, nervous and powerfull).

The SF event on the other hand was a bit difficult... I spent a few laps figuring out how to go around the track, and was 36s behind the leader. When my lap times were down to a more reasonable 1:29.XXX I began catching with the last ones, and progressively went up. Hopefully many went to the pits (to change tyres I guess), and at the end of lap 11, I was 4th and 3rf pitted. I did lap 12 on ice with my tyres nearly all dead and 4th breathing on my neck but managed to resist and finish 3rd. I am sure I could do a much better result now that I am used to the combo, but that will do. (Already finished 1st at this event, which was perplexing at the start seeing how much time I was losing and was unable to catch even the last cars)

6* gave me a Aston VGT worth 1M sold ~539k (already have it).
On the wheel there was the horrendous Daihatsu COPEN RJ VGT, I prayed to get everything except this one. Also an Alpine and Citroen VGT, don't remember the other car.

Just finished these. P1 in all of them; took a little under an hour. The SF23 is blast around WG. I did an RM no pit and most (all?) of the AI pit.

Won the Honda VGT which I didn't already have, so that's a million bucks I don't need to spend later. Not a bad week, all in all.

 

[Islaygaz]

Completed the weeklies there. Got a DeLorean for my troubles! Lucked out a bit on my daily workout though F8 from a 4 star!

Here are my Cars of the week:

In order of races done.

Also I am guilty of killing the person who designed that damned rallycross track...

 

[OldandSlow]

I dug out the Alfa Bi-Posto for Alsace, Raptor for the RallyCross, the '14 WRX for the Clubman Cup, '17 Ford GT for Bathurst, and my 2019 SF for The Glen. Got a LaFerrari for the ticket.

Same here, I ran my 2019 SF on RM also without pitting.

How did you get 5 cars in the shot? I try at the same place and can only place three.

What I did was grab a screenshot of all the cars then cropped out to the five cars I used in an editing program before posting

Yep. It’s how you can do this:

 

[crooky369]

My gosh I've been done terribly dirty!

It feels like karma for me ignoring this video.
Which to be fair the thumbnail always made me laugh because that Mini is just the laziest VGT design you could ever imagine.

What scape is that...?

I was looking for a five-car scape for ages...

How much is that worth to sell then?

The government are offering me 600k+ to dispose of my Mini VGT in the Mariana Trench and save future generations from witnessing such a terrible abomination.

 

[jrwilliam269]

I do enjoy the no PP limit as I get to use my fast cars that normally sit in the garage.....

No no no, your rant is still 100% justified. As opposed to coming up with something original, or interesting, they went with giving us a race that basically mirrors one from a couple weeks ago. It makes no sense.

And then we're back at Mt. Panorama again... we were just there recently as well.

With alllll of the tracks and alllll of the cars in the game it's just nonsense that we are seeing any repeats this early in the "weekly challenge" game.

Wheres a S-Barker challenge? Hell, any old cars... or any of the special low PP cars that never get used like the Honda S600?

We've all got cars in our garage that have never been used for any event, make special races for those at tracks that aren't used often.

There are a pile of old Italian cars like the Miura and 512BB, lots of French hatches, old race cars like the D-Type, 300SL, Porsche 550 and Honda RA272, plenty of never used American classics... and so many more that I'm not going to take the time to list.

I just wish they put just a moment of thought into these weekly races, especially the Special Events. That said, the SF at the Glen is an awesome race that I will be happy to do again.

Umm there's no PP limit for a lot of the events so I mean you can use all of those cars in theory....you can do the races multiple times...

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.

I tried the Castrol Celica in the last one since it's not limited to just road cars, rallie cars work too...

 

[Reeneman]

Got the La Ferrari from the ticket. Pretty happy with it
Haven’t had this one in my collection before.

 

[skydragon49]

So far I completed 4 out of 5 weekly challenges.

• Fiat 500 Abarth (Sunday Cup)
• Mazda Rx8 (Japanese Clubman 550)
• Mustang Shelby GT350 (American Cup 700)
• Mitsubishi Lancer VI Tommi Makinen (Catalunya Rallycross) not in the picture. Also since I don't have any Gr.B car in my garage and I don't care much about rally, I put the game on easy just to complete this event)

- still don't have a SF car. That event remains to be done.

Edit: corrected some typos.

Good Lord, the Catalunya RallyX again. Uggh.

the Mustang looks so nice

That’s the intention; that image is just me supporting your answer regarding photo manipulation. It’s intended to be that way; sort of “there’s more than meets the eye”.

2 separate scapes and then I edited them using the picsart app on my phone😁 here are the original scapes (the C7 at the middle was my reference to align both images)

 

[OldandSlow]

I agree. That’s why I did that one first. I didn’t try for the CRB, just got in the Raptor and muscled my way to first.

That's better than a 1M useless VGT you can at least recoup 1M selling it.

 

[GlockPants]

Anybody ever gotten the CRB and won the Rallycross event?

Seriously feels like Fury Road at the start of the race!

 

[05XR8]

I'm thinking the 959 should have been plastered in every post this week... but, nope. Not even by me.
Wish we could see in game sales figures and total players that use each vehicle.
