Quick fun. One minute flat for the TT. I’ll do the 900 race later.

Pretty fun week honestly. Sunday Cup is pretty easy like usual, just watch for the Megane. American Clubman Cup allows you to use some quite interesting cars but most of the AI will be so slow you don't need to worry about them, half of my field just sat behind the slowest car at half throttle the entire race so the Corvette C7 was the only one to beat. As long as you can do 350 km/h you should be fine. Time trial is almost a full lap, still easy too although the M3 does understeer quite a bit off throttle. WTC 600 can be a challenge depending on the grid, Kokubun will be super fast if he gets in the lead early. My race had me and him chasing down the Gallardo, the swapped Toyota Crown Athlete I used was a lot of fun and just about fast enough to do it. WTC 900 races are always good fun, this one can have a lot of rain but can also be completely dry like I had. If you use any of the 2016 Gr.2 cars or the 4 new Gr.1 cars you'll have no trouble. Went with the '16 Nissan GT-R without ABS and had a great time, they're are probably my favourite race cars in the game.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges: Run, Forest, Run!​

Tiny idea for improvement:

This part "with Bronze, Silver, and Gold paying 12,000cr, 18,000cr, and 30,000cr respectively" makes it sound to me (non native speaker) like you get one of them depending on what level you reach rather than the cumulative sum of the levels you have passed, eg 60k for gold.

On topic:

Is it correct that the new Gr. 1 Race at Watkins Glen haven't appeared in the weekly challenges so far? In the past they have always feature one new race (from the most recent update) every week until they are done with them.

Regarding the TT this week: does the '11 M3 turn like a tank or is it my inability that makes it oversteer like crazy? Still close gold on the first valid attempt but my word was it a bad one.

three comments on this week:

1) the big oval? seriously? tell you what, next time you think that is a good idea, pick a Tokyo layout and put some really slow cars on it so you and the rabbits have to lap them twice. That would be much more fun.

2) timing tightened up on time trial, this is not trivial gold like the last time

3) I suspected Suzuka was going to be wet but I got sunshine all the way

hope you had fun and didn't get a dupe on the 6 star like I did (at 411 unique cars there are a good number I don't yet have)

Yup it hasn't shown up yet. I still haven't raced it as I now always save the new races until they appear in the Weeklies.
 


European Sunday Cup 400: De Temaso Mangusta Christian Dior. Just thought it'd be funny.
American Clubman Cup 700: Chevy Corvette C6 ZR1. EZ (Especially with my Le Mans Gearing).
World Touring Car 600: BMW M2 Competition. At the 320 HP Cup spec, seems like a silly idea against the 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse...until you realize you can bully them for most of the lap. So I did that and cackled as Busnalli could not at all catch me on the final lap coming to the line.
World Touring Car 900: BMW M Hybrid V8. Another consecutive week of a Hypercar in the forth Weekly Challenge Race, quite the challenge but no rain until the last lap (Even then, not enough to even consider intermediates)
Special Event: Car sure seemed more difficult to drive then I last remembered. Took 4 tries to nail the gold.
