Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

[smoothbore12]

As CRB is a wild horse for GV ( only take it with slower cars 🤣 ) i said what the friendly asked questions and try to set some group B cars.
The driving mod was take no prisoners in order to have 3 ( sometimes two and a half ) clean air laps chasing lap times.

Except Ford all others was on SS tyres .
Ford with SS had significant more pp than with races tyres !!!! 😱
And most of the tunes i try was with enough glitches .
Needed to move the cursor back and forth to achieve or one by one digit or power settings and try again and whatever 🤣
The pp system is really something that i never understand why in the same numbers you have different outcome 🤨

Anyway i enjoy it and NSX was the worst of the group and with different suspension settings than the others that i made them almost identical.( Of course stock suspension doesn't work at all ).
Tomorrow I'll try the rest of them if am on the mood.

All runs was at normal level.

I definitely don't remember doing that relatively new round of the European FR Challenge 550 yet, so I'm thinking I'll take it on with my swapped Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo II.

 

[OldandSlow]

For the GV race, I used my ‘71 Mercedes on SS tires. No issues, easy win on Easy.

Sooo, what does week's challenges look like?

[DDK-Racing]

Looking quite straight forward, maybe even easy depending on the Aston at Deep Forest...
800k cash, i'll take it!

 

[VTEC Driver]

I like to see the passion of some of you in describing the selection of the car, how to fairly compete and so on...

Up today I see this weekly event as just an opportunity to grind credits to buy the missing cars to complete the collection.

It is a pity because honestly I tend to use overpowered car to close the race as soon as possible.

The PD should deploy the weekly meeting with more strict rules in order to make this small championship more challenging...

 

[RACECAR]

Knowing the past Road car One-Makes, there's gonna be quite some amount of modifications allowed as there never appears to be any limit.

Will post my lineup when I am fully awake.

Make a weekly championship out of it with different tickets to win!? Genius move that would be!

Unrestricted as usual, but doable in a stock car.

Easy peasy this week. Not unless AI have crazy Astons set-up. lol

 

[kjb]

Decent set of races this week. T1 at Monza should be fun.

 

[mindseye]

The Vantage race was easier than expected. Stock tune with RM tyres.
WTC800 easy win with the Mazda 787b.

The Vantage race was easier than expected. Stock tune with RM tyres.

Hopefully isn't like the Viper races as you describe it.

Having done that race quite a bit, it’s not. The standard rolling start 30 secs behind the leader. You probably have one AI car near you at that first chicane.

That Viper race was a nightmare initially, but after doing the Vantage online time trial, the Vantage was ok. I got third first attempt and I'm sure I will win on my next attempt. Medium tires, but softs might be better, traction control on 3.

I took my Valkyrie 21 out of it's box, put RS tyres and took it for an easy win in the Hypercar race. What an easy car to drive straight out of the box.

 

[MoLiEG]

After what happened with the last Viper event, I think we are in for a challenge with the Aston Martin event

 

[Moose78]

How are we at a new set of Weekly Challenges? I haven't even finished this week's yet.

The Valkyrie is one of my favorites to drive

 

[jesse100190]

i will use the xj220'92 with engine swap for the hyper car race

 

[ROCKET JOE]

With the Vantage being the only exception, I'll be racing completely swapped this week. I've reduced power on the cars to reach a more reasonable PP level, however I still suspect none of the races will be too hard.

 

[smoothbore12]

I only check 3 cars today for tomorrow.
For Monza the DTM Audi for a non stop race on RH tyres.
With caution and laps around 50's might get and the CRB if i catch Portilia before exit the pits and don't hit me from behind 😂

For Hyper car my old Lemans trim Enzo at 700pp which is enough at least for normal level that i use.
Also i like her sound .

For GV a swapped Subi 98 at 600 pp against Kocobun and his tuned company.

For the others I'll see then .

Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges: Astonishing​

A new set of Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges is beginning today, with a fresh set of five events updating in the World Circuits menu as your local clock ticks past midnight and featuring some of the content added in the 1.57 update...

 

[Moose78]

Okay. Well, at least I've tried them all before the week let out (hard difficulty)...

Sardegna - Suzuki Jimny Sierra JC ' 18 - I remembered I had to upgrade the other Jimny to win this event when it was first introduced in the game. I went a little overboard this time, which made for an easy win.

Tsukuba - Renault Kangoo 1.4 '01 - If memory serves, I added all the sports-level upgrades and SS tires. It was more of a challenge than I was expecting, but still got the win.

Lago Maggiore - Maserati GranTurismo S '08 - Just went with SS tires on this one. Made for an easy win.

Grand Valley - Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary '88 - Added most of the sports-level upgrades and SS tires. It brought the PP just over 600, so I added a power restrictor at 99% to get it back in range. This car needed a lot of track to brake. Caught the leader at the end of lap 4 and drove it home for the win.

Sainte-Croix - McLaren VGT (Gr.1) - What can I say? I have no idea how to drive that final sector. Went into the walls too many times to count. Ran a 4RS-4RS strategy. Could only muster a P4 finish after all the crashes, though. That's close enough for me. I don't want have any interest in doing this race again.

You should try the F3500-A. Add weight and restrict power to get the PP down, but its an easy no stop on RMs and some fuel saving. I dreaded it too.

I’ll use my swapped Ford GT.
