Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

[ROCKET JOE]

After running the Yaris stock around Laguna Seca I've been looking for another stock challenge the past two days. Initially I wanted to go with this

For the Evolution Meeting race I picked the lowest stock PP Lancer in my garage and threw some dirt tires on it. This created a fun challenge chasing down the leader without voiding the CRB. 👌

but since the Evo III isn't available atm I decided to use the Final '15. Additionally I planned to try different PP levels see how low I can go.
So I started mounting D tires and restricting the power to 80 % ( 480 PP ) which is close to the Evo III stock performance. After realizing that the race still is too easy, I went on downgrading the car to 70% ( 460 PP ) - with almost no effect. Adding weight changed things dramatically though. With another 200 kg on board ( 447 PP ) the car's been much slower than the AI in a straight-line
and things got challenging ... definitely.
It's not about winning the race, it's about winning it cleanly. As soon as you really have to race them, their abysmal incompetence gets obvious and the most annoying thing for me is that you basically have to adapt to their horrible performance if you want to survive.
And get the bonus. I hear you @Greycap ...
I did it after 4 hours or so of driving lol.

Here's the results :

480 PP ✅

460 PP ✅

447 PP ✅

What's next ? Think I'm going to take the Lancer to Laguna Seca ... stock !
