Euro Sunday Cup 400: The most challenging to win/gold of the 5 events, took a few attempts
American FR Challenge 550: Straight forward win
Quattro Time Trial: Easy Gold at 1st attempt
HyperCar Parade: I’m not a fan of Yas Marina. Happy to win and move on.
WTC 800: Heavy rain from start, but 1 set of IM’s saw me through with no stops
 
This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges: Yang Gang​

A new set of Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges goes live this Friday, May 8, when your console clock ticks past midnight. Five events, seven days to clear them, and the usual stack of bonus tickets waiting for anyone who works through the list...

I was tempted to go with "Gang Yang", but thought better of it.

Fun week again. Sunday Cup is a breeze and at a nice time of day, just avoid getting held up in turn 6. Japanese FR Challenge was harder than I thought in a stock Mazda Roadster, even with a slow grid I struggled a bit. Clubman Cup was a lot of fun in a 620 PP Corvette C8, the AI is slow in the first half of the lap so it's easy to make up time and pass cars there. One-make was better than I expected as the car is quick enough to not be boring at Le Mans. There was some wang on wang contact with the AI braking very early in a few places, I figured picking the right kind of rubber would be important but SH was more than enough to finish before everyone else. WTC 900 I've already won before in the '16 GT500 NSX so I tried the LF-LC VGT on RM given it's basically a hybrid Super GT car. Not too difficult given the AI will make some weird strategy calls, was running 1:22-1:23 laps to win by about 10 seconds. There's some cars in WTC 900 races that are usually tuned and much faster in a straight line whereas here they seem to be stock so they get in the way a lot, one AI car might try to not pit and the Lexus on RS will often stay out too long on worn tyres.

Cars for this week (there's no Brazil scapes sadly):

Today's to-do-list is reaching down to the earth core but my cars are already set to go, looking forward to racing ... at some distant point in time :

Toyota Sports 800 at 350 PP
Honda S 800 swap at 450 PP
Jeep Willys MB swap at 635 PP
Yangwang U9 at 690 PP
Audi RS 5 at 885 PP

Edited for PP correctness

Quirky challenge for a quirky car. Sunday Cup Classic at Laguna in a stock Twingo using only 3rd gear.

Click to expand...

Reminds me of my dad's old Austin Maxi. Except in reverse. It had 5 gears but the only one you couldn't use was 3rd
:lol:
Occasionally, he would go there accidentally and the clutch would scream...
As a young-un I could never understand how, despite this, it still passed its MOT every year...
 
All done!

Had to rummage through the garage to find a random classic European car.

Hachiroku for the Japanese FR event. Started my "No ABS" practice.

Ford GT did its thing in The Glen.

Oh, driven by a certain someone...

Stopping the heavy Yangwang U9 without ABS is pure hilarity. :lol:

Improved my previous run by just moving 2 clicks to the rear in the brake balance, resulting in a very smooth braking experience, much less lock ups without ABS.

Thanks for the 500k, PD!
 
Enjoyable Week! Nothing too taxing. After choosing my first challenger, I decided to make a 'Golden Oldie' selection...

Sunday Cup Classic: 1952 Abarth 1500 - Comfort Soft Tyres and racing Aspiration were the only upgrades. Handled beautifully through the Corkscrew.
Japanese FR Challenge 450: 1971 Nissan 240Z - Comfort Soft tyres, fully race spec'd except no weight reductions. Fun race in a great car.
American Clubman Cup 700: 1966 Ford GT - Race Hard Tyres '67 Lemans(ish) build. This thing is a beast! Destroyed the field!
YangWang Special: SS Tyres, WR 1,2 & 3 (so it doesn't weigh as much as a Rhino) Race brakes. Uneventful race, but better than many other EV's.
WTC 900: 1970 Chaparral 2J - Racing Medium Tyres, Custom Race 5sp Gearbox. FM 6 all the way, 1 stop at end of Lap 7. Fun race, enjoyed using something different, that I've never raced with before.

My ‘Pic of the Week’ goes to the Abarth at Leguna Seca

At least is not called "Yang-bang"

The 900 is quite easy on a lmp1 car, so it might go first.
Besides, I prefer the U9 to the SU7, that car is almost undrivable. Which leads me to think on other electric hypersedans like the Lucid Sapphire, that thing must be useless beyond the start
