What the randomizer gave me ...

and what it is now that I'm set to go ...

They're not stock anymore but still well under the suggested PP levels. Ok, except the boat. Bathurst here I come !

Race 5 sounds like a job for my “Powered by Honda” 3.5L V12.

There's no rewards for winning two races. One, three, and five.

There is only one good thing about parts ticket, and that's the Stage 4 weight reduction which costs a lot. But we all know what's in store for us, when we get a parts ticket...

I love getting a carbon propeller shaft I will not use for the 20th time.

Cheers for the reply and trying to help.

I only play on my consol, only play on GT7 and I only really log in and play the weekly challenges or when there's an update.

I've deffinatly not changed the time zones and the only things different I have done is purchase a ps5 at Xmas (I was on a ps4 since launch) but I have played 2 weekly challenges without a problem since I set it up and the only other thing different is I started last week's challenge late, which I don't normaly do and I remember thinking will I still get my reward if I run over the deadline which I did.

Hopefully it's just one of them things and it'll be back to normal Friday.

Thanks again for your advice.

So... as you were quite sure about this and I had no reason to disbelieve you, I've been testing it and... yep, something's changed.

I ran the same test three times back in August 2024 and it wasn't an issue:

Yup, there isn't. I did the same a few weeks ago, leaving a WTC800 race until really late on and finishing it after midnight. I got the final reward for the first set and had no issue collecting the first of the next set immediately afterwards.

Fairly sure I recorded a video showing it, but it'll be on the old PS5. And, as it turns out, now superfluous.

I tested again two weeks ago (January Week 3 into January Week 4), left a gap (January Week 4 into January Week 5), and tested again this evening (January Week 5 into February Week 2... umm... yeah), and on both occasions of running the final race past midnight and picking up the final reward I couldn't pick up any rewards for the following week. In the interim week the rewards appeared as usual.

This definitely wasn't the case last summer, but it certainly looks to be an issue now.

Since I am at the x2019 events [in the menu book] and I hate starting more than 5 seconds behind, I notoriously used the x2019 to race the WTC 900. Gonna re-race it with the [few] LMP cars I have and the SF19/SF23 as well as the F3500, for fun or for grinding?
