GT7 Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

[savior972]

Ich erinnere mich, hier einmal einen Tracker oder etwas Ähnliches gesehen zu haben, mit dem die Autos für die wöchentlichen Rennen zufällig generiert wurden. Könnte bitte jemand diesen Link nochmal teilen? Leider konnte ich ihn nicht finden.



Danke an alle

This week wasn't my cup of tea somehow, no race that really had my interest or pulled me in. Maybe that's why all of my cars were a bit too competitive. Getting things done and dusted ? ...
Of course, the Glen is a place to come back to, even more when there is another nice community challenge using Formula cars.
Anyway, this is what happened so far :

Race 1 at Goodwood
MB Unimog '62 - SH / 197 hp / 1,438 kg / 398.10 PP / CRB ✅

Spoiler: Result Goodwood

I did a second attempt here with the Unimog on CH and 350 PP which made for a tight race and a photo finish victory.

Race 2 at Dragon Trail
Alfa Romeo Giulia '67 - SM / 245 hp / 857 kg / 548.30 PP / CRB ✅

Spoiler: Result Dragon Trail

Race 3 at Nürburgring GP
Lexus VGT '15 - RH / 551 hp / 1,085 kg / 819.90 PP / CRB ✅

Spoiler: Result Nürburgring GP

Race 4 at Spielberg
Hyundai Elantra N TC '24 - RH / 460 hp / 1,310 kg / 650.00 PP / CRB ✅

Spoiler: Result Spielberg

Tried this later with a stock Elantra : A close win with a three second gap.

Race 5 at Watkins Glen
Mazda LM55 VGT '14 - RH / ? / ? / 912.10 PP / CRB ✅

Spoiler: Result Watkins Glen

A fine weekend everyone - meet you at the Glen !

July – Week 5

Hello everyone, here is my report of this week. My settings:
Gamepad | Automatic transmission | Race Difficulty – Hard | TCS 1

#5 | Gr.1 Prototype Series | Watkins Glen Long Course
F3500-A | PP 900 | RM tyres | FM 1 | 1 pit
It was a good race with the F3500. Using FM1, I made 1 pit-stop after 10th lap, changed the tyres and added some fuel. Finished with almost a half-minute lead.

#4 Special Race – Hyundai Elantra N TC – One Make | Red Bull Ring
Hyundai Elantra N TC ‘24 | PP 689 | RS tyres
It was a pretty easy race, and I overtook the leader on lap 3.

#3 | Vision Gran Turismo Trophy | Nürburgring GP
Ferrari VGT | PP 850 | RM tyres
I chose a Ferrari and barely beat the electric cars. It was also necessary to keep them behind.

#2 | European FR Challenge 550 | Dragon Trail – Gardens
BMW M3 ‘03 | PP 550 | SS tyres
I won using an M3 ‘03 with settings under PP550, but it wasn't easy.

#1 Sunday Cup Classic | Goodwood Motor Circuit
Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce ‘67 | PP 350 | SS tyres | NOS
Winning at Goodwood is never easy if you use the recommended PP. So, this time I had to use NOS.

For 5 races I got 500,000 Cr.

I tried two other non-Gr.1 cars in the Gr.1 race at the Glen and had varying results. Both races done on hards with no stops. I also had some mistakes, brake checks, and a half-second track limit penalty once each.

The first race, using the SF23 Super Formula car, was done on FM2, while the second race, using the Red Bull X2019, was done on FM6 with some lifting here and there to save more fuel. The X2019 was actually faster thanks to its higher horsepower rating, but the SF23 was far more fun. High downforce and lower power allowed me to slow down less for the sweepers.

Finished with a 22:05.730 with the SF23

And a 21:54.903 with the X2019

Again, there were mistakes (I’m a pleb, don’t judge me), but the point is clear. The X2019 is faster, but the SF23 is easier.

 

[smoothbore12]

I can confirm that SF23 is faster than the 19 model that i use in first place and easier than SF19 .
Less fuel consumption but more tyre wear at least in front ( end up with no left tyre ).
First run without huge mistakes + 2 x0.500 and went at 22.20 .

[MIE1992]

I'm totally down to use my usual Gr.1-spec Hyundai N2025 VGT for this newly-added round of the Gr.1 Prototype Series at Watkins Glen! I'm thinking I'll just start on Racing Mediums and crank the fuel map all the way to 6, and go from there.

 

[cristobal]

Ts030 12 or Bugatti gr.1 w/midturbo@1001cv are easy win with fm and 1 stop.

 

[Xtremrider591]

Hey ! It's me again 😁
Like Smoothbore12, I have testing Watkins Glen with the SF23 Honda (livery by Azabear)

Stategy => FM1, RH, minimum lift and cost and short shifting do the job !
You must lapping on 1.27.xxx for finish the race and gently with the left front tyre for not pit.
No 908 on this race but you have one lap ahead easily and perhaps two laps until the GR010 like me !
A good race but the SF specials races are more difficult compared with it.
Good weekend everybody 😉

That went better than I expected (hard difficulty)...

My picks this week:

Goodwood - Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R (KPGC110) '73 - This car was way over the suggested PP to start with, so I took it out stock. Easy win.

Dragon Trail - Ferrari 365 GTB4 '71 - The car was slightly under the the suggested PP so I added a few sports-level enhancements to get it there. It drove like a boat on those stock tires. Still, another easy win.

Nurburgring - Subaru VIZIV GT VGT - I wasn't too hopeful for this car going in. Even after upgrading it to RS tires, it was still nearly a 100 points off the PP limit. The win, of course, was completely out of reach, but I did manage a P3, which was good enough to tick the box.

Red Bull Ring - Hyundai ELANTRA N TC '24 - I ran this on RS tires, which gave me more of an advantage than I wanted. Another easy win.

Watkins Glen - Jaguar XJR-9 '88 - I expected this car to be a struggle, with multiple attempts using different strategies, and finaly dropping the difficulty level, but it only took one try. I started on RM tires and realized pretty early on that I could get the fuel to last the whole race with some light short-shifting. I still pitted for fresh tires on lap 8 because I didn't trust them to last to the end. Finished in P2, about 20 second back from the winner. Good enough for the check mark. I suppose a no-stopper on RHs might get closer to a win, but I haven't tried it.

Altogether a quick and easy week.

Did everything except Watkins Glen.
Tried with Genesis X but it didn't work.
I don't like races with tyre & fuel usage bcs I'm driving with cockpit without HUD, so I have no idea what's happening with them and how many fuel I have.

So Mazda is way to go...
