Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

[skydragon49]

The Gr3 Watskin Glenn is super fun! And if I'm not wrong it pays 200k. So, there's a 1M and change to be rewarded this week. Which is nice.

(1 race 100k, 3 races 200k, 5 races 500k + WG 200k = 1M)

On the other hand, you know what is not nice?

A Tesla special event.....

Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges: Money, Money, Money​

With Wednesday midnight beginning to loop around the globe, the next set of Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges is becoming available to players as the clock ticks over to Thursday in each console’s time zone...

FFS more Teslas….

FFS more Teslas….

They read about the guys here that posted that they bought the tesla and sold it immediately after they completed the weekly challenges in the last weeks. It's all about sending a message for PD.

Given that we have a Tesla special event at least once a month, that's a bad idea to sell it...

Why do they recycle the same one make events on repeat hahaha, they have near enough 500 cars in the game, they can surely afford some creative liberty?
Between these and the fact Sport Mode is constantly using the same cars, it's like they don't want us to uniquely use all the content the game has. So bizarre.

Cut them some slack, at least there was no Radical/911 GT3 RS/Tesla/Honda Civic one make this week

Edit: Spoke too soon, just realized he was talking about the upcoming week. Another Tesla event it is, then.

 

[brighton boy]

With all the different cars in the game, you would like to think PD would mix it up a little with some of the classic cars that are available but hardly any races to use them in.

I hate to say this, but I agree with you.

 

[Lomic]

I hate to say this, but I agree with you.

In a way it makes me less bitter to have won a WR stage 5 for Tesla Model 3, at least it is a little bit less of an anvil.

I think an interesting Special Event using the Tesla would be an untimed endurance style race. Go furthest on one charge.

At least up until now, all the Special Events have just been short One-Make races around some track. Which requires 0 imagination. I'm just not sure the computer cars know how to drive efficiently.

That would make it a Mission at that point, like the low fuel ones.

I couldn't care less. I saw what this kind of event looks like in other cars. That's fun once. After that you don't need to do it again on any car.

 

[GlockPants]

Similar, yes. But having other cars around might change things? Really not sure. Either way, could be an interesting way to mix things up in the weekly challenges. Perhaps too boring? Perhaps I shouldn't put more though into it than PD does?

 

[330_D]

I don't love the distance on a set amount of fuel missions. I've never been a conserver of consumable things type... 😂 but it might make for interesting strategy races.

Perhaps Elon has threatened Kaz to switch off the internet if there aren't at least three Tesla events per month?

The "always online game" principle was probably not such a good idea after all

Cheers M

Same here. I also put RS on it. The faster the laps, the less time I waste driving it.

 

[2cam16]

Next week will be Teslas at Nordschleife.
Thank God it's only Sprint. The others are cool. Best is the Glen. Won that in my R5 so time to do it again!

 

[smoothbore12]

Great new weekly races , they scream :
Money money money ....,.
No bull 💩 tickets,parts and other crap.

 

[zaxs]

Like these weekly challenges!
Money is always the best, and races are not bad...

Not for me anymore. More money than I know what to do with but no Enzo.

 

[DanteRaiden]

I maxed out the Tesla so I can get the chore done with it as minimal time as possible. Just get it over with, so I can move on with other more interesting stuffs. I hate so say it, but for something so uninspiring and dull, it is quite fast.

 

[MoLiEG]

DEAR GOD PD STOP IT WITH THE TESLAS.

 

[kjb]

Little disappointed with the lack of creativity. Glad I didn't sell the Tesla. I like the Glen race I have done it a couple of times

 

[Batschisane52]

There are no other cars in the game that i dislike more than the Teslas and i don't want to drive them for another mile...so i am gonna miss out on the reward for all 5 races this time!

 

[Eggstor]

Based solely on early-bird runs (no, not me) and past race notes (from me), this doesn't seem to be all that bad. The (likely) good:

• It should take right round 45 minutes, one of the shorter runs if memory serves.
• The CRBs are doable for all 5 races, which, with the 800,000 Cr. in bonuses, makes for a potential 1,401,500-Cr. haul. That's one of the better guaranteed-credit hauls.
• None of the races are launch-day races.
• There were a pair of Porsches (the Carrera GTS and 959) added to the Catalunya Porsche Cup race on the video I saw.

The bad:

• Yet another Tesla Model 3 one-make. Come on, PD, there's more than 4 cars in the game.
• Other than those 2 newer-to-the-game Porsches and the one-make race (with, as usual, no pre-race chatter), there's nothing new - either in cars or in pre-race chatter.

Time to dig out the Tesla and the Porsche from the back of the garage, I've not driven them in such a long time... 🤪

 

[kjb]

Yeah a long time being 2 weeks 🤣 🤣

Do you just own one Porsche? Not on a one-make race so you can allow your least favorite Porsche to accumulate more dust.

 

[nickf1gr]

Those car tickets was something...
But far from GT Sport WITH 20 mil cars in the wheel of despair... (I didn't win one in 4 years of GT Sport )
