GT7 Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

[Fuzzi0n]

Not a great week but I think part of that was me struggling to find new cars to use. FF Challenge isn't too hard around the suggested PP, would prefer a longer race though. Pickup Truck Race is incredibly easy even in a stock F150, wish it was something a bit more interesting given the almost night setting for this race. One-make is much the same as the last one with this car, stock it's easy to get into the lead in 2 laps but then the AI will speed up massively and run very fast laps to stay close to you, thankfully it wasn't using the layout with the stupid chicane. GT-R Cup is pretty boring, not the biggest fan of that track and there's not a lot of variety in the field. WTC 800 is difficult if you want to use a stock Gr.3 car. I've won it with the Ferrari on RH, cars around that on pace will also do it with any grid you get. There's quite a big of pace variation from the different grids unfortunately so it's hard to predict how close things will be, I just decided to use an 800 PP Aventador and won by 55 seconds pitting on lap 6 for tyres and fuel. Runs 1:29 laps on map 6 so way faster than it needed to be, fun to drive though.

lap traffic allowed me to save some fuel in the middle of the race to be able to make it to the end without pitting

The Xiaomi is a bad car, so I decided to sneak in that race with a... Ford Falcon (check my shared liveries in the game if you want to find it). Haven't done the GT-R race yet, as I want to set up a 2017 Nismo for a change.

The most overpowered Gr. 3 car can definitely do this.

- Mid rpm turbo; Medium tires and short shift at 6500 rpm. Can even get out of tight corners at 3rd gear.

- Serrano pits on Lap 9. It does vary per race, but then again, this is another case of PD power tripping the AI. However of course, the AI did not change tires.

- Again, I showed no mercy. Fuel map 1 all the way.

My selection for the week

My picks for this week:

I tried them all on hard difficulty, but that last one was too much.

Autopolis - Nissan Qashqai Tekn e-Power '22 - I upgraded the tires to SM, which brought it just over the suggested PP. Only managed a P2, though. Good enough for the first ticket.

Willow Springs - Ford F-150 SVT Raptor '11 - Not sure what upgrades this thing has. I only pull it out of the garage when these pick-up races show up. Easy win. Second box checked.

Catalunya - Xiaomi SU7 Ultra '25 - I upgraded the tires to RMs because I remembered how difficult this thing is to drive on the stock ones when we had the special event at Deep Forest. That made the car manageable enough for the win. Second ticket obtained.

Blue Moon Bay - NISMO 400R '95 - I made a bunch of upgrades -- SS tires, medium-RPM turbo, weight reduction, and more -- which brought the PP over 650. That made for another easy win. Fourth box checked.

CGV - Honda NSX GT500 '00 - This took three tries. On the first, I tried a no-stop on RM tires -- with FM 3 and short-shifting halfway through the rev bar to get the fuel to last. That got me P9. Second try: 6RS-6RS, without fuel saving. Managed a P5, but still more than 20 seconds off the P3 car. Third try: lowered the difficulty to normal and did the 6RS-6RS again. Easy win. Last ticket obtained.
