Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

[ROCKET JOE]

Alea iacta est - my cars are all set up. I'm looking forward to some enjoyable races with three cars pretty much unknown to me.

What's wrong with Autololis( now don't y'all go searching for that people who hate Autopolis thread! )? That's my joint.

Still don't get the breaking point for the very first turn, but besides that, it is quite nice track...

Just had half an hour to used 919 evo to race the autopolis one, this car has massive understeer on default setting, and had to set brake bias to +5, just as an fr car to reduce the front tires wear. RM 7 laps and RS for 3 laps, just an easy win.

Still catches me even using brake markers.

using the Bugatti VGT (GR1) for both the 900 and the VGT races, a Viper GTS 13', a XJ220 92' for the European race, and a Swift Sport 17 for the Japan ff race

Used my Viper Exchange race car. Didn't work. Maybe I should try using a road going Viper next time.

1. I begun with the Integra Type R, it was pretty easy.
2. A bit more difficult with the second race, I used a mini cooper with a tune that makes it like a cup car. You can find the tune on HSG Automotive's youtube channel. It was easy getting to third, but a bit of a fight getting above that, so some "Creative driving" was needed.
3. I next used the FT-1 GT3 with the vision GT championship, honestly, this race could do with being about 4 laps instead of 7.
4. Finally, I used the Viper GT3 with the one make race.

I did give the WTC900 race a try with the 908 HDI but I just couldn't get close. I don't deal well with these sorts of races.

Really making us work hard for the money this week.

Eiger🤮, Autopolis🤮 , VGT 🤮 and as a bonus Trial Mountain which is a great track, but absolutely does not work in reverse IMO.

Anyway. Did it all in one go. Now back to doing fun stuff.

I hate Eiger. i hate VGT's. I hate going the wrong way around a track.... The first and last races are okay though.

 

[SSfox]

Another Viper event **** me, I have to drive this car that don't turn eh

I did most of the weekly races with ABS turned off and I was surprised how dynamic and realistic it made braking and cornering feel. For example, here is a big rear lock up I had which felt super immersive:



I think I will continue to run ABS off for future weeklies, and for credit grind races
