GT7 Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

[2cam16]

Not too exciting of a week.
Lago was in a Twingo with an Exeter tune which I dropped down to below the suggested. Such a boring race. Maybe if it was longer. Won by 7 seconds.
Blue Moon was in my stock Enzo. Caught up to Valerio on lap 2 and he got trapped behind 3 other cars by the wall of the main straight. He ended up mid-pack at the finish. Won the race by around 10 seconds.
Cones? Meh. Bronze and done. Not my thing and it's not like it will improve my driving. I'd rather do a TT.
VGT in my go-to Lexus that won this race previously. Easy win although got ugly a bit when one of the AI cars played block-me . lol
Now this WTC600 is always a pain in my butt. Mainly with the Ruf. Never easy for me to find an easy 600pp in my stable. I had to dig out my swapped Celica. It was a fight to the end v the Ruf until I made this move and won it by less than a tick.
Ticket got me a Dodge VGT which I already had 2 of so I sold it.
On to the PP.

Really didn't enjoy the cone challenge, glad I popped in here to find I wasn't alone. Pointless event was pointless.

Have you tried the Blue Moon race with a 600pp car and hard difficulty ? It's a real tough one, Gallo's car is certainly not 600pp, closer to 700 I think. Took me 5 tries with a Mclaren 650S.

Not entirely sold on this.



What's next? Honda Beat Coffee Break Challenge lifted straight from GT4?

As PD read these threads, gotta be careful how certain posts are worded. Too much nostalgia and Kaz and Co. say hold my sake.

Hello everyone. I've finished the new challenges yesterday night so if you let me join in, here's how it went for me.

Event 1 at Lago Maggiore
Well ... this is not a race. It's a caravan of learners at a training facility.
My rusty Barker was detuned to 360 PP but I got in the lead before the first lap was over.

Event 2 at Blue Moon Bay
I built a swapped BAC a couple days ago and thought why not use it here. Since I know about Gallo by now I went to track a good bit above what's recommended ... and still lost the first run as Gallo got through early. Which wasn't the case at my second attempt.

Event 3 at Kyoto
I like cone challenges. I like the ICONEIC 5 N '24. I like setting my own goal and go. That's what I thought at least. But the randomness of reaching the line without getting spit out of a corner from one of these orange monsters indeed is nerve wracking.
So this time, I actually stopped before I was there really ...

Event 4 at Tokyo
Didn't want to go with one of my usual VGT contenders and picked the McLaren instead as a first time drive. It's a wonderful car. 👍
Doesn't reach the top speed of some AI opponents when detuned to 840 PP but it stops on a dime and corners like on rails.
Feels like this race is my event of the week and I'll most likely try some other cars there.

Event 5 at Road Atlanta

That's what I did, chose a bigger boat. A swapped BEAT. 550 PP on SS compound. The wolf in sheep's clothing. It's not quite as easy as you might think with the car being super vulnerable and brakes being almost non existent. So you need to be very very careful and drive with a lot of foresight. If you manage this : Destroy Bayless and Beauvois !

Happy Pentecost !
