Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

I'm still banking on a Daytona race to coincide with the real one this weekend.

Knowing PD they will probably do it next week 🤣

As cool as that would be, not getting my hopes up for it. Its a miracle we even have a Time Trial that's sorta/kinda doing that.

No, your eyes do not deceive - but it's a different layout...

 

[Strax]

We were getting spoiled with all those interesting special events recently, PD bringing us back to the boring Jimny snow race. Meh.

Gonna have to buy the Audi iirc, or I'll swap it with something else. I'll think about it.

Gr.C at Spa.
I dislike seeing these fakes in these races. I prefer having the real liveries on my cars.

Seems real to me.

Sooo, about that...

Now that a season of Nations Cup is upon us, these will have to wait until after Saturday's race for me.

Can't say I'm all that thrilled about the Jimny race, but the rest look okay. And credit tickets, too! Yay!

What are we thinking for the next races?

• Jimny Cup?
• American Cup?
• FF 450?
• Gr.B on snow?
• Gr.4 at totally new location?

Rewards: parts? parts? parts? parts?

Hey, I was kinda there.

That livery was created for the historical races because they cannot use Rothmans because it is a cigarette brand. The livery on my cars are authentic for the original time they raced.
Same thing on the Jaguar, Silk Cut = cigarettes, therefore cannot use the original livery in game.
Any car of the past that had liveries with cigarettes or liquor sponsors had to be changed for the game.

Do you have your liveries available for download in the showcase area of the game?

And even with that besides, the font and placement of "Racing" at the front is completely different on the 2 pics posted.

Just so you know, this isn't actually true. The cars absolutely ran, in-era, with the Racing Porsche livery. I think the one in the game is the 1986 Nurburgring 1000km.

I finished all of these days ago but just posting them now before everyone transitions to the new challenges.

Race 1: European Sunday Cup 400 - Sardegna
Car: Peugeot RCZ GT Line '15

Race 2: Japanese Clubman Cup 550 - Autopolis
Car: Subaru Impreza 22B-STi '98

Race 3: Hypercar Parade - Red Bull Ring
Car: AMG GT Black Series '20

Race 4: World Touring Car 600 - Tokyo Expressway
Car: Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe '06

I put mild upgrades on this car. Didn't pass the Huracan until towards the end of the final lap, so it was really close.

Race 5: The World Group C Racing Championship - Spa
Car: Mercedes-Benz Sauber C9 '89

For my 6-star ticket, I received a Chaparral VGT, which I kept since I didn't own it.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges: Ice, Ice Baby​

Another Thursday means another new set of Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges is — depending on your time zone — on its way or already with you...

Except as proven by those pics, the "Racing" Porsche 962Cs existed well before the Historical Races. Its exactly like how the JPS Lotus actually raced in Period without the JPS logos.

And even with that besides, the font and placement of "Racing" at the front is completely different on the 2 pics posted.

Point is though that the car having "Racing" in place of "Rothmans" is real. It actually raced, making it far from being "Fake".

Damn pissed today .
Reading about tomorrow upcoming weeklies try to prepare a car for GV 10 laps race .
Can't won ( Normal mod ) but at least can be second or third .
Did 3 races with mazda LM55 ,try different configuration on power, try different fuel map not to stop but zero chance of win it😵‍💫 .
The car in front doesn't make pitstop and with penalties involved and some errors here and there the best i could was 5 seconds behind the leader.
Damn Gr1 , not my cup of tea with this crazy rhythm at that pp range.
Just hope to be on podium with first try tomorrow and forget it .
