Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

[Tommy_D]

Ooh, that Silvia Sisters race is part of my "Impossible Races" challenge. But one person did beat it with using N2O so I guess it's not "Impossible" anymore.

Edit: This is going to be an easy 750k week. If they ever throw in SF Fuji or maybe a Human Comedy event then it's a big challenge. But Tokyo? C'mon guys. Tokyo is easy.

Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges: Turbo Time​

The new set of Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges is beginning to roll out around the globe, arriving on your console as its clock passes midnight on Wednesday evening...

I hate reverse tracks in GT. I like reverse tracks in Forza. I wonder why.

 

[Sir Crashalot]

A Civic race again? I thought we would get a Jimny race.

 

[D-Mind]

Thats a nice credit haul!

 

[Lomic]

A Civic race again? I thought we would get a Jimny race.

we get 3 Jimny races in new events

 

[Famine]

A Civic race again? I thought we would get a Jimny race.

It would have been incredibly unlikely as the first Weekly Challenge event availability is 19 hours before the Jimny became part of the game.

Put solid money on there being one next week though.

I like how I can enter the Classic Cup with my GT4-spec 2017 Mercedes-AMG GT R. Good stuff!

I hate reverse tracks in GT. I like reverse tracks in Forza. I wonder why.

Because when in reverse you have no idea how to conceptualise braking points while Forza is simple and basic track design allows brain dead driving? Is that why?

 

[MineralBlurb7]

This isn’t bad at all. See, it doesn’t take much to make this game a solid way to be useless on your fatass!

 

[05XR8]

Like we didn’t know the Civic TC wasn’t going to be in the UCD, for this week’s races.

 

[CmdrParabolus]

Would love it if I actually got the rewards. Last week was the first week I didn't receive rewards after winning the races. Hopefully things change this time.

 

[Tmo343]

Nice easy set of events this week. Last week's one I just did not gel with the SF car so couldn't get the 6*. Have a sileighty built specifically to beat Silvia Sisters, the Civic TC is good fun to drive although I do wish it was somewhere other than brands. Finally why does the WTC800 have to be at Tokyo out of all the WTC800 events, at least it's one I haven't done yet and the Spa 24h tuned 787B should take it easily.

 

[srpst23]

Well looks like squeezing in the SF race to finish the weekly was a waste of time that I will never get back. My rewards were a carbon driveshaft for a Tundra and the Italdesign street mode, which is quite possibly the stupidest and worst looking "car" in GT7.

 

[seadog777]

Fun set of races this week, the DF reverse in the Silva wasn't easy (for me) but nice prizes, all money tickets, 100, 150 and 500. Nice haul!

 

[zaxs]

I hate reverse layouts and one who started that

 

[Chikane_GTR]

This weeks lucky cars are.
All were fun and I really like the handling of the Honda Type R.👍

 

[shadow0460]

That's not the Tokyo grind, it's the WTC 800. Different race, same track.

 

[jrbabbitt]

Don't worry, it will show, they put in the 1 hour Spa so they will get around to the WTC600 Tokyo, 30 minutes at Le Mans too.

Is EVERY week going to have a race at Brands Hatch? There are other tracks in the game guys. Last week was at Grand Valley as well… real original.

Another week of little thought put into these races.

Looking forward to the Silvia’s and the WTC 800.

 

[Lomic]

WTC800 was very cool with the Audi RS5, despite being slower in the straight, it is a wonder in curvier parts of the track

 

[GlockPants]

I used these cars this week.

I unintentionally made it pretty easy this week. Remembering how quick those Silvia's are, I just reuse the car I first beat the event with. The Honda VGT was overkill, but drove very nicely. The Civic one-make, I forgot to swap the stock tune and walked over everyone with RH tires from the time trial. The 917 was pretty challenging to control at Tokyo, but was dominant in the straights.

 

[jrbabbitt]

it was given to me, so i used it in the WTC800...

 

[Snake55wildcat]

Did this week's weeklies before the update coming out after finding out I wasn't getting the Bulgari VGT until late February Wasn't all too bad though as the events probably didn't lend themselves to its use if I did have it anyway

(All cars below are stock aside from the s14, that has been lightly modified)

It has been my go-to car for all the 800's. Love this car!

Before I tuned my R92CP to meet 800pp it was the only car I used in that class. I might bring it back for this one. It's a fantastic car.

This week's 6* is a car ticket, so I don't see how could it be worse then a Copen 😅

Yet min car value for a 6* car is 500k so it could have been a less valuable car :

Aston Martin DB5 '64 Cr. 970,000
Abarth 1500 Biposto Bertone B.A.T 1 '52 Cr. 900,000
RUF CTR3 '07 Cr. 900,000
Lamborghini Diablo GT '00 Cr. 817,800
Alfa Romeo 155 2.5 V6 TI '93 Cr. 800,000
Aston Martin DBR9 GT1 '10 Cr. 800,000
Nissan GT-R NISMO GT500 '16 Cr. 800,000
Honda NSX CONCEPT-GT '16 Cr. 800,000
Honda NSX GT500 '08 Cr. 800,000
Audi R8 LMS '15 Cr. 800,000
Lexus RC F GT500 '16 Cr. 800,000
Lexus SC430 GT500 '08 Cr. 800,000
Toyota 2000GT '67 Cr. 685,000
Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary '88 Cr. 684,200
Porsche 356 A/1500 GS Carrera '56 Cr. 615,000
Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 '18 Cr. 600,000
BMW M3 GT '11 Cr. 600,000
Mazda RX500 '70 Cr. 600,000
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren '09 Cr. 600,000
Ferrari 365 GTB4 '71 Cr. 555,000
AMG 300 SEL 6.8 AMG '71 Cr. 550,000
Ford GT '17 Cr. 550,000
DMC DeLorean S2 '04 Cr. 525,000
Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SV '15 Cr. 500,000
Toyota FT-1 Cr. 500,000
Honda NSX Type R '02 Cr. 500,000
Renault R.S.01 '16 Cr. 500,000

But I would happily get one of these instead of the hideous Copen

For what it's worth, I've received the 2020 Mercedes AMG GT3 from a 6 star ticket which is valued at 480,000. Nitpicking, yes, but not quite 500,000.

Damn that's bad luck (in terms of car value).

Here's my ticket prizes source if anyone does not know it yet : https://ddm999.github.io/gt7info/ticket-rewards.html

 

[Talon16]

Finished them up today. Decent run in total. I hate Goodwood and Tokyo so I used OP cars on those. The other ones weren't too bad, that Civic is pretty fun to drive. Got an Aston and... some muscle car (from the Dodge and Nissan thing) to which I sold both. Easy credits.

 

[2cam16]

Did the Grand Valley with one of my modified FL Civics. Easy win. Tokyo was easy again with the R5 on RH. Didn't get any rain although the wipers came on for a few seconds a few times so maybe just a sprinkle. Either way didn't notice it. Pitted once for fuel because this is the first time I've seen this car thirsty. Must be all the undulations at Tokyo.
Will tackle the rest tomorrow and maybe start the Jimny ones. Can't really race until Sunday afternoon again as it's the 24 Hours of Daytona! lol
