Not a complaint, but have there not been a One Make since the start of Weekly Challenges?

There have been plenty of them, virtually every week there’s been one.

From the back of my memory, I remember we had one make races for the Volvo V40, Bac Mono, Honda Civic Touring Car for instance.

Love me some Tokyo!

Ready to roll. The Cappuccino and 962 are re-drives. Oh well, there are only so many Kei and Gr.C cars. And two races at Tokyo Express? Oh well, at least it is all credit tickets again.

Two weeks ago we had the MX-5 NA one make event, even though technically it was a two-make since it allowed the TC as well. But other than that, long time without a proper one make indeed.

As for this week:

Rerolled the Group C since it was once again the 787B, and wanted to use something different. The Jag is more than fine.

Didn't we JUST do the Ferraris at Barcelona? I know, I shouldn't complain too loud or else I'll get coal in my stocking (e.g., the Group B race at Eiger reverse) next week.

Group Cs at Watkins Glen should be a blast, though! The Le Mans event was one of the best.

My likely picks:

European Sunday Cup 400 - Abarth 595 SS*
Lightweight K Cup - Honda Beat
Ferrari Circuit Challenge - Ferrari 458 Italia
GT-R Cup - Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34)*
Special Event - Mercedes-Benz Sauber C9

* = Swapped engine.

Race 1 - A112 Abarth '85 - finished tight third

Race 2 - Corvette ZR1 '09 - finished second after I spun right before finish

Race 3 - Lancer Evolution Final '15 - finished first although I don't like rally in this game.

Race 4 - LaFerrari '13 - great cars, great track and great race!

Race 5 - Alfa Romeo 155 - Italian business, slowly improving forward and finished second, 1.5s behind winner.

I wasn't driving GT7 few weeks, but finally came back to complete this week challenges and TT.
Still no many time since I decided to play games (story/sp).

And game awarded me for coming back; for daily marathon I go 6 stars ticket, 500k from it, 500k for Weekly, and 1M for silver in TT.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

I had to guess on some of the engine mods, but I figure if you start with a 3.8L 911 engine and want to make it a race engine you would likely do some engine balancing, some head work and a forged crank. This also gave me more HP and Torque to work with when playing around with the engine computer and power restrictor to not only match the correct power figures, but to also give a big flat torque curve across the middle of the power band like a factory GT2 RS of this era had.

Thanks for sharing this. Tried it today and had a good race. It was close and came down to the last lap. The Bugatti I overtook for first at the end of the second lap but all of a sudden Tapai in the Lambo started reeling me in in the last lap. Won by a couple of seconds. Good tune and swap!

That’s exactly how my race went. Ran 3:59’s on lap 2 and 3 but the Lambo ran a 3:58 on the last lap and was about 2.5 seconds behind me at the end.

The car is a bit squirrelly in high speed turns. Like turn 1 at Le Mans can be really sketchy. I didn’t find any info online that the GT2 has an upgraded suspension over the GT3. So I didn’t add it to the build. Also, it’s totally stock downforce as well. Again, no info out there about adjustable wings or aero on the GT2. Also, the brakes are just “okay” for this particular track. But you are going 200+ mph, in a car with 700hp. I figured Porsche might throw in some better brake pads than the GT3’s.

So there were some guesses in there but I think I got the engine stats and power curve about as good as I can to match the factory car. No need for traction control as it is a pretty flat torque curve and the sport soft tires handle the power well.

Before someone posts the “Why not both?” meme, Group A was my favourite Group. I now remember why Group C been my favourite.
I finished 4th using the R92CP in PSVR2 and it was wonderful! Like the song sings, “ More more more…”. PD more of this, just like this. Forget the GT community, just make those liveries available right now and plaster the Group C championship on the World Map immediately.

HUD Off, I slowwwly progressed up the field. As the sun was going down, Zi couldn’t shake the 962 I just passed. “We” slowwwwwly caught up to the two 787s ahead and I figured I finished 3rd. Wahmp wahhhhhh. Nope! P4 for yoouuuuuu.

Ford real, the DTM events are awesome. I have fun with my various grid set ups with all those group A era cars. Group C though, the cars are just on another level as they’ve always been. So raw.
