Originally planned for a Soft -> Soft, but ultimately settled for Mediums on the pitstop after realizing how bad this car's tire wear was. Still caught the damn rabbit though.

Stock horsepower with adjusted downforce.


Next up would be its lighter yet longer sibling.
 
Decided I'm only going to do these if the main prize is a 6* ticket. Any 3 of them are fine.
 
Thanks to @ROCKET JOE settings which was with very little ballast vs mine ,the 2J was faster ,with better fuel consumption and better tyre wear.

At last won with CRB

Could go faster but i avoid any risks.
One thing is certain, the 2J wash machine it's an absolute weapon at Sugo and unbelievably pleasant with the normal gearbox.
If you use it you will remember me .


Edit

Just try @Adwinistrator settings for the Ferrari.
Oh man you're right , very enjoyable this one.
He took me 3 attempts to win ( hard level) till i get the feeling of the car and how to deal with it but was very controllable and less scary than the softer compound i use first time ( i think was SS ones ) .

Well-done

There goes the bonus ! :banghead:
I was approaching Inostroza at the exit of the long final sweeper, misjudged how slow he actually was, had to make a sudden move and couldn't hold things together. I was able to avoid the wall but finished the lap on grass. :lol: Under blue flags the AI is a moving nightmare, aren't they ? And me : Should have had a bit more patience.
Otherwise a good race, small mistakes now and then but still ... quite quick ! 👍

@smoothbore12
Great that you enjoy the 2J too, especially the standard three gear transmission is fantastic.

It seems like I'm accidentally doing an all stock November, last week's weekly was with the following - all stock free choice

Screenshot_20261030-004946.webp


And now this week I have done the same again...with the additional stipulation of MR only (every weekly I do is with Hard CPUs and PSVR2)
Screenshot_20261106-132418.webp

(Though the CTR3 and 962C had to have slightly worse tyres than normal to be eligible for my rules - tyres must also match the AI tyre choices whenever possible)

  1. Stock Ford GT (2006) on stock tyres (sports hard) - relatively easy race all things considered, just had to be careful of my braking distances as before I started this weekly I was trying the Fuji TT...and struggling on it, so the change in braking distances took a moment to adjust, got first before the final lap.
  2. Stock Honda NSX typeR (2002) on stock tyres (sport hard) - once again another relatively easy one...though I did spin out near the end on lap 2 so I definitely made it unintentionally harder for myself, but did manage to lock in first before the steep uphill section and carefully and trepedaciously went past the part I spun out at, thankfully not repeating the same mistake twice.
  3. Stock Ferrari F355 on stock tyres (comfort sorts) - who's ides was it to give this comfort tyres?! This thing was fun to drive despite this...if a bit unpredictable at times, thankfully this one make wasn't too difficult for once and the amount of laps was more than enough to secure the lead before the final lap could even begin!
  4. Stock RUF CTR3 on Sport Hard tyres - I'm shocked at how few MR cars the Germans have, so I settled on the awesome RUF for this one, even if I did take some...creative liberties with the track on the final lap due to the leader YEETING off into the distance early on, cursed chase the rabbit format, did gentthe lead on the final lap before the back straight though.
  5. Stock Porsche 962C on Racing Hard tyres - I actually attempted this first with the BMW McLaren F1....but spun out on lap 15 and at that point I was only 10th...so I resorted to a gr1 car just to make sure I could catch the rabbits, which thankfully I was able to do on a FM1 no stop strategy with this crazy car, got first by lap 16 or so
Hopefully next weekly isn't as frustrating!
 
My theme for the week: The Ten-Cylinder Symphony!

Race 1-American Sunday Cup 600: Dodge Viper SRT10, stock. Somehow a new drive for me. Who doesn’t love a Viper. Easy race win with CRB.

Race 2- Japanese Clubman Cup 550: Lexus LFA, stock. A bit overkill, but that exhaust note…what a sound! Another easy win with CRB.
1a1b96bbe7659-screenshotUrl.webp

Race 3- F355 Special Event: Ferrari F355 Berlinetta, stock on SS tires. For once, the race length was 2-3 laps too long. Another easy win, another CRB.
1a1b96bbe7644-screenshotUrl.webp

Race 4- Schwarzwald League: Porsche Carrera GT, stock on RH tires. Fell 2 seconds short of Lopez’s M4 to win, but love driving the CGT. 2nd with CRB.
1a1b96bbe7619-screenshotUrl.webp

Race 5- WTC 800: F3500-B(Renault RS4 swap), tuned down to 800pp on RHs. My first attempt was with the Audi R8 LMS Evo, but ended up 4th on RMs, making it without a stop. I might try it again with Softs and see if I can win it in a GT3 car. The F3500 made quick work, but no CRB.

14 laps on Soft. Yes, you've read that right.

Exceptional fuel economy due to unadjustable tall gearing. :lol:

Spring rate is the only parameter you can adjust to the suspension. But a +5 Brake Balance more than makes up for it, along with high downforce.

Energy deployment is better than the Lexus VGT, but recovery is piss poor. Took me around 5 or 6 laps to recover all energy I lost on boost.
 
All ‘One run and done’ this week!
IMG_1577.webp


American Sunday Cup 600: 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T. Had to be something NASCAR-esque for some banking! Easy Win
Japanese Clubman Cup 550: 1992 NSX-R. Great car, always get the job done.
Ferrari F355 Special Event: Already built to the spec of my old Challenge track car, this was too much for the rest of the field.
Schwarzwald League: 1970 Porsche 917K. Too good not to use at this PP level.
World Touring Car 800: 2016 Lexus GT500. Felt the urge for something Japanese for a first attempt, and I've never used this car before. Ran non-stop on FM1 for a simple win.

Have a great week!

After seeing your post, I decided to try this car out myself, using the original power and transmission settings. I play with a controller and use automatic transmission.hard mode

Unlocked 4 ⭐, 6 ⭐ Car (AM 110 Concept), 750k and 1M cr.
 
Our member @smoothbore12 has a talent to find and set up fast straight-forward racing machines. So is the new Audi R8 that's shocking the opposition at CGV atm. Did the first laps in disbelief, then I just had to smile ... and put the pedal to the metal.
Here's my best run, I'm on my limit for now but anyway, it's worth mentioning I think :

I've been having fun trying to see what the lowest pp I can win these events with on hard difficulty, as stock as possible. 94.65 pp deficit with the Ford Focus RS '18. Only install Fully Customized Suspension and set up the tune and you are good to go.

I did it with the ST with the height-adjustable suspension on Sports Hards, I reckon you can do it on the Comforts too.
Click to expand...
I did try out the ST with suspension, LSD, and close ratio low transmission, but kept coming up short. I'll have to try that out some more...
 
I decided to take 2J and improve 3rd place from SUGO that I posted with RB Junior.

With many mistakes I crushed them, no CRB but win is here.

Maybe I try once more to achieve CRB, but AI under blue flags are heavy idiots...
 
Had a little break from GT7, now back again for the Weeklies - only doing 3 out of 5, though.

#1 Driving Blue Moon in the sun in a Super Bee against all those muscle cars was plain fun:

#2 GVC is not really in France, but the Gendarmerie is present there as well, hunting down the leader:

#3 Have been driving quite a lot of Ferraris by now, but this one really drives like a charm @700pp:
