Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

Looks good for this week except for that parts ticket.

 

[IngWeltschmer]

Anyone knows the payout of the special event and how much that is in comparison to the "standard" K-car cup races?

Parts ticket is back, guess we're all taking Kaz's shaft this week again.

Yep, I do. It's more. I'll stick it in the article later.

I prefer the TitRods.

Don't know how I feel about Special Events that are also regular event types.

On the one hand, the kei events are some of the best in the game. On the other, it's nice getting to do something different each week and we don't get that this week.

So there's a chance that some of the prior Special Events series could make it into the regular World Circuits as series?

Guys, what are the odds of getting an "invite car" from this 6 stars ticket?

Currently, 2 in 27 (roughly 7.4%), or 8 invitation cars that are not possible prizes in the launch-day menu books/licenses/missions divided by 108 total cars available in Brand Central for at least 480,000 Cr. (the price of the 2020 AMG Mercedes-AMG GT3, which I have picked up from a 6-star ticket) that are not possible prizes in the launch-day menu books/licenses/missions.

The K-Cup hasn't been at Kyoto before.

Quick and easy ...

On RS I can tune the non-swapped Mercedes E30 Sport Evolition up to over 730PP with all available parts...

You're probably talking about the Mercedes 190E Evolution II, I guess?

BTW, here's the next selection, as always courtesy of Nakano. Gonna need to buy the BRZ as I've neglected it until now, and I probably also need another E46 as I swapped mine and don't remember if I already have a stock one.

 

[Chikane_GTR]

Cars for this week.

The Kei races are normally 400pp.

And I predict the 6* car ticket stuff will reward me with a Toyota TS030.

 

[Strax]

Today I was feeling much better both physically and mentally, so I took my final revenge at the DTM race. First try and the Linder E30 was on top, winning by roughly 8 seconds. What a fantastic machine, so fun to drive.

Dear god. Autopolis. And a parts ticket.

This is not going to be a fun week.

 

[05XR8]

One cool thing about the Autopolis event(Autopolis is always cool 😎 ) is that the Super GT Championship just visited the venue last round.

 

[MineralBlurb7]

Wonder if anyone at PD thought how nice it would be if these were weekly championships.

 

[RCKakashi14]

This Autopolis track must be Kaz's favorite!!!! ΤΤ event and weekly one...
There are many interesting tracks (fictional or real) to choose from the last event...

 

[MidnightRun85]

Absolutely loved the DTM event this week! I had at least ten runs at the event, winning mostly but also struggling with a couple of my builds as I went. Three below were my favourites I built specifically to take on this event, hence the DTM liveries!

I started with the 190 E, after buying up a few of them last week when they came out as a special pick. Wide body, all the aero bits, and a tune loosely derived from an @praiano63 tune. My first couple of attempts were underpowered and didn't quite make the cut, but when I learned to tame it, everything came together nicely!

Next up was the Sierra Cosworth. Unfortunately all the tuning in the world couldn't help me with this one, best finish being a 5th place. Just not enough pace to keep up with the leading pack.

My final build, completed on the final day of the race, was this 959-swapped 964. This was great out of the box, only requiring a very minor bit of adjustment to the ride height to eliminate some understeer. Very fast and reliable, and loads of fun to throw around Catalunya!

Not sure I'll put as much effort into the Kei car race...

EDIT: Thought I'd do a double-header on the weeklies, using @Nakano219 randomizer set to "Hardcore" for one round, then "Any random car" for a second attempt.

Hardcore:

Any random car:

This one will be hilarious! I'll definitely need an engine-swapped VW and Crown Athlete to stand any remote chance of even a podium! I can see the VW having some potential, but I doubt the Crown will be able to compete due to much higher tyre wear than anything else that will be on the track! Oh, an no chance of that S-FR giving any of the true Hypercars a challenge at DTG.

No, I always play on Normal.

In doing my weekly I chose to do something a bit different... I turned off the race info in my HUD

and did my races without knowing what lap i was on nor what position i was in at the time. It was fun not knowing, just racing and passing and wondering if I needed to pass more i couldn't see immediately.

 

[Lomic]

Got La Ferrari as a reward for the 6*, not bad. Sold nearly 1M

 

[skydragon49]

Here it goes my humble report.

Cars I drove this week:

• Mazda RX Vision GT
• Porsche Spyder 918
• Capuccino '91
• BMW M3 '89
• BMW M2 competition

I had two pleasant surprises, one being the BMW M2 for it was the very first time I drove it. The car is a very good ride in its stock form.

The second one was the Big Willow race scenario. Not only the classics cars really fit well in that track but also the beautiful sunset at the last lap made up a great atmosfere. All of that despite me really not liking this track it all. But in this race it was nice. Go figure.

The 6 stars car ticket were packed with VGTs only ☹️. The despicable wheel gave me a Bulgari whatever GT, which I sold for 500k and a change. The daily marathon ticket gave me another 100k. So at the end it was a nice time spent with the weeklies.
