Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

Would be nice if the Group C one was longer with a bit of strategy but fun combo anyway

Well, there's a surprise or two this week...

Edit: Or three (one of which you can't see yet)...

Ooooo, big money for third ticket.

 

[JDMKING13]

Hmmm.. I heard that special event might be a hour endurance race… That’s big money!

 

[Strax]

A million for the third ticket? And WTC 800 being a special event? This sounds very interesting indeed...

Really digging this new Randomizer feature of picking rarely used cars, great job @Nakano219 😁

Cars picked and dressed.

Two of my least favourite tracks -- Willow Springs and Catalunya Rallycross -- but those reward tickets look nice.

I initially picked the McLaren MP4/4 '88 for the Neo Classical race, but wasn't sure if I'd be able to tune it down to 800PP. It turns out you can, if you switch to RH tires, add ballast, max out the power restrictor, and tinker with the downforce (lower the front, raise the back). I just tried it out and it still drives pretty nice there for an easy win.

60 minute race this week? Doesn't matter if it's Pano...

Thoroughly enjoyed that Group C race at Watkins Glen these last few days… why is there no historic IMSA-type championship in this game? Surely the work of a moment to add an event series in to the menu system 🤷‍♂️

I don't think there is enough material to do a Historic IMSA championship of any kind as there's hardly enough cars to do a full IMSA Grid in any year (Even a current one is questionable with how many current GT3 cars there are.)

Really happy with the one hour endurance race this week. Although a bit disappointed with the low payout to grind that race for a week as opposed to the Le Mans race for example. But nice to receive a million credits for completing all five races.

And not to forget to still receive four bonus tickets/credits for the holiday logins.
