I completed the weekly challenges after changing the difficulty to easy in the F3500-A race!!!!

Another shot at the Monza race, this time I got the CRB too. But I don't know what they've fed Serrano before the start as that's pretty extreme for a Normal difficulty level, my times are nothing to write home about as I was taking it extremely safe through all the chicanes for the entire race (and being stuck in the three abreast formations) to not blow the bonus and the rubberbanding was still hard enough to warrant a 1'26 lap.

My cars for the weeklys.
Won each one on first try on hard. Monza was stressfull though lol.

-Japanese FR - High Speed Ring: Nissan 180SX Type X, Sport hard. Took it with 0.5s because AI was way faster on the main straight and were in my slipstream. CRB✔️
-American FR - Watkins Glen: Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 C4, Sport hard. CRB ✔️
-Group B - Lake Louise: Toyota Celica GT-FOUR Rally Car (ST205), Mid-range turbo, adjusted supension & gearing. Bit overkill beating the Audi with 25+sec 😅 CRB ❌
-Schwarzwald - St Croix B: Widebody, swapped, Porsche 911 Turbo (930) sitting on 699,98PP 😅 Twitchy, unstable, but fast. Love this car (and the livery)!

-Special event - Monza: Mansell's Williams FW14B '92 livery. Racing medium, FM3 shifting around 75% of the rev bar for he first 6 laps. Then FM2, shifting again at around 75%. No stop. Took the lead after the leading AI came in for their stop end of lap 7. Had around 1,5s lead in the beginning of the lap. at Ascari they were right up my.... 2 more laps of holding them up in the corners trusting my exits, make them try overtakes on the outside of corners and won with less then 1s. Stressful, fun, will not be coming back. 😅 CRB❌

Tried the F1 race last night and couldn't get anywhere on Normal and RH then RS both on F1 fuel.
But pleased lots have struggled as well......oh dear, down to Easy for another try !

Attempted the F3500-A race on Hard (RM, fuel map 3), but after a handful of attempts - mostly 1st lap restarts after finding the gravel on the outside of Prima Variante (turn 2) - i could do no better than a distant 6th with no chance of catching the leading pack after dropping out of their slip stream, so didn't even bother finishing the race. Was getting late so i skipped Normal and went straight to Easy. AI cars were still every bit as quick on the straights but they slowed far to early into the braking zones, destroying my CRB in the process Was quite content in finishing 3rd to get the prize, but started to reel the distant 1st and 2nd in on lap 6. Got into their tow exiting the parabolica on lap 8 but they darted into the pits. Ended up winning by a sizeable margin. On reflection i think a win on Normal setting would have been fairly straight forward knowing they pit towards the end of the race.
