Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

[smoothbore12]

I found my older settings but lots of things change from then ( April2024) especially on tyre wear .

Anyway i try to see how close i can get at 34's at lemans and i was 22 seconds late with the LM55 ( not the gr1 i use back then ) which means you need steady laps under 3.20's and i only managed that 2 times + plus the inevitable penalties i got .

I also try a non stop on RH on tomahawk using @CTRL Garage settings at the suspension ( which is great as a setup in general,but doesn't serve the cause i wanted the aero especially ) and manage a 37.22 which i guess can bring the win and at hard level also .

The 6* brought a Suzuki VGT that sold at 569k which is great also .

Now priority takes the NSX at CGV at Sunday with Titans and ill try some Ferraris too.
Have a good weekend guys ,drink as you want and take a .....cub after🤣

My Choices for last night

 

[RACECAR]

Sunday Cup Classic: Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce. This took a few attempts as despite how good my GTAm Build was, that Porsche 356 just pulls away.
Pickup Truck Race: Ford F-150 Raptor. The Red Bull Raptor returns for another fun blast around the Canadian winter land and as usual, Candy taken from babies.
Ferrari Circuit Challenge: Ferrari 296 GTB. Second time using my 296 Challenge build and it has officially replaced my 458 Challenge Build. That Hybrid just destroys the field.
World Touring Car 900: Peugeot 908 HDI FAP. Gave the GR010 a break and bring out another favorite I grinded this race with. Careful feathering in 6th Gear allows me to get to lap 7 before needing to pit for fuel (and get softs because I love hot lapping)
Polestar 5 One-Make: This was absolute Frustration. The Practice in Time Trail did not prepare me for how annoying the AI were gonna be and how more difficult making passes would be.


And the 6-Star car is:

Also, its been god knows how long and I am still in love with how my widebodied Raptor looks:

Clean race bonus in the snow bash is funny. Swapped stock Tundra on snow tires was easy enough.

Easy money. The Lake Louise race was actually kind of fun..

Car ticket was a Bugatti VGT ( Gr 1 )

One of the better EV's straight off the showroom floor. I always hum 'Meet George Jetson' when driving these cars.

Whoops double. Getting too many texts and screwing me up.

I’ll re edit and sorry for the double but the Peugeot 908 on RM tire and one stop at Le Mans worked quite easily.

Le Mans - Honda NSX CONCEPT-GT '16 - This is not the car that I would usually pick for this combo, but it is the only Gr.2 car I own on this account so far. And neither the CLK and GT-ONE are in the Legend Car Dealership. I tried a 5RM-5RM strategy. I had to save fuel fairly aggressively to get to 5 laps. It rained for a while, but not enough to change tires. Only managed a P5 in the end. I'll have to go back and try again. Not sure if I'll lower the difficulty level or try with a de-tuned Gr.C car. Either one should work, but I'm a bit bummed that it has come to that.

UPDATE: I tried the race at Le Mans again on Normal difficulty. It was too easy. Finished 1:37 ahead of the anybody else.

I had a go with this car, stock power and gears but some setup changes on RM. Average laps around 3:33, fastest was 3:31 and won by over 30 seconds on hard. Fuel is not an issue if you switch to map 6 once you're up to 290 km/h, rest of the time just use map 1 and pit on lap 5 for tyres and fuel. AI was running around 3:40 laps, not the fastest field compared to what I've seen which will run 3:37 fastest laps.
