Had to go and check on ddm.io to see if it was a new swap (sounds pretty cool, ngl), but all I could see for it is the Lexus Gr.2 swap. Do you know something we don't? 🤔 Are you a dataminer who accidentally spilled some beans? Now I will have to go and read through all your posts so I can cook up some crazy theories about next updates

Don’t read too much into it. They’be definitely either mistaken the engine or the car. The Radical with the Suzuki Gr3 engine swap is a 700pp monster

My weekly challenge cars:
American FR Challenge 550: Corvette C5, fresh out the dealer, stock. Nice and simple. CRB 🟢
Nissan GT-R Cup: R33 GT-R V-spec '97, older 670PP-ish LeMans grinder, adjusted with some closer gearing. CRB 🟢
Lightweight K Cup: Suzuki Carry KC '12, tuned with sport brakes/suspension, no weight reduction and all power ports + low end turbo. Could be a cheaper win with my Cappuccino but this was fun. CRB🟢
World Touring Car 800: Audi RS5 DTM, RH 1-stop after lap 6. This car is a beast! To bad I overshot my braking at T1 in lap 5.... CRB🔴
Chevy Corvette One-Make: Corvette C7 widebody. first try on SH was a quick no. Put on RH and managed a win by 5-6s. CRB🟢
Rewards:
Daily marathon - 4star - 30k💰
6star part - camshaft for some Toyota, already forgot. Was worth 7K or something 🙄
6star car - Genesis VGT, already had one (black in pic) so sold it for a whopping 620k
On to next week!

Challenges completed. Not a selection I particularly enjoyed, only getting 1st in the WTC800. None were enjoyable enough for me to retry in order to get 1st.
American FR Challenge 550: Trans-Am, modded, SS Tyres. As a child, I was a big fan of Smokey and the Bandit, so the Fire-Chicken felt appropriate for this race. I’m not usually a fan of Willow Springs, but this was quite fun. 2nd at the first attempt was enough for me.
Nissan GT-R Cup: Nismo 400R, stock. My Favourite GT-R, just not powerful enough to catch the leader. 2nd
Lightweight K Cup: Daihatsu Copen, tuned, CS tyres. Tried with a tuned Suzuki Carry KC '12 but didn’t like the tendency to oversteer on corner exit. I like the Eiger, in either direction, but couldn’t catch 1st. 2nd
Chevy Corvette One-Make: Corvette C3, race spec, RM tyres. Not a fan of Corvettes or Grand Valley, just happy to get this one over with. 2nd
World Touring Car 800: Audi RS5 Turbo DTM, RH Tyres, stock, power restricted. Treated myself to this purchase, specifically for this race, what a great car! Shame opportunities to use it are so limited. Unsurprisingly it crushed the GT3 opposition. Easy 1st.
6-Star parts roulette: Bore-Up S for a Scirocco R, yeah, thanks!
6-Star car roulette: Renault R.S.01. Not the GT3 version, so not sure what this is useful for. Will probably sell.

Very good performances there bud, as soon as I log back in my Youtube account, I'll subscribe to your channel. You're doing well mate, soon enough you'll have over 1k subscribers. You have an alt account? I only have my primary account. Looks like the AI had a time keeping up the pace, they're slow as molasses.

Seeing all you guys use trucks for the Eiger race lets me know I'm just not like the others.
I used the S660 with several mods and barely won. Add only the HRT and lower to the specified PP and it's almost easy. But I still feel like I need a better gearbox tune. Anyone have one for the S660 at Eiger?

All wins on Hard difficulty:
1. Pontiac GTO "The Judge" '69 - 550pp,SH
2. GT-R '17 - 645pp,SH
3. Suzuki Cappuccino '91 - 400pp,CS : Suzuki Jimny XC '18 - 400pp,CS* : Suzuki Carry KC '12 - 400pp,CS**
4. C8 '20 - 700pp,RH
5. Porsche 962C '88 - 800pp,RH,no stop
All cars with @praiano63 tunes with the exception of the Carry KC '12 (see below).
*Edit: Added the Jimny to the Kei event. @praiano63 just released a tune for it and it is faster than the Cappuccino and turns great through the switchback turns. It is a joy to drive.
**Edit 2: Added the Carry KC to the Kei event using a great tune by @CTRL Garage!

In fairness, my car is ridiculously OP (Mostly due to the event I had it tuned for) so the AI even on the highest difficulty were gonna have a hard time catching me.
As for alt accounts: If you mean on PSN, I did have a secondary one during the GT5 days (Basically taking advantage of the gifting feature) but haven't logged into in over a decade. If you mean Youtube, I do have a second channel but its not so focused on racing games.

Would you mind sharing your setup ? It's been a bit of a surprise that I had my best and fastest runs with the new Carry, not with the S660. I'm not that much into tuning, it's more like adding parts
... but I'm interested what makes your Honda so quick.

I didn't tune the car at all. It has the SE75E V4 engine swap + a few tweaks. The trans top speed is all the way down and the diff is all the way up, just to be able to use the high rpm's more. I'm sure it would be a lot faster if properly tuned, but I can't be bothered.Would you mind sharing your setup ?

Finally sat down and worked on the Suzuki Carry for the Eiger race, This race is quite fun to build different Kei cars and have a go at getting to first by the start of lap 6.

What's so misleading about this or any of my videos? Its the Corvette Special event from the Weekly Challenges as I specially put in the title (and as I even mentioned in the Weekly Challenges Guide, which even shows the exact same car). Its as clear as day.
If you mean the Corvette I used, I had it tuned for a previous event and it just happened to be the only tuned Corvette I had.

Since i replied to your post that mentioned that the car was OP, it's clear as day that's what I was referring to. I don't know where you came up with the other stuff as that was never mentioned. I read @Chris30 post and he said that the AI was slow as molasses after watching your video. I was confused because I had done two races on hard difficulty with a 700pp tuned car on RH tires and the AI was not as slow as he assumed. You explained about the car being OP which made perfect sense for him to think the AI were so slow.
I have absolutely no problem with your car choice. I simply suggested that it might be more helpful for people viewing your video if they had info like the difficulty level, if the car is stock or tuned and what PP it is. That would let people know exactly what they are seeing in the video and not assume something that could possibly be incorrect.
I didn't intend to ruffle your feathers. It was just a suggestion that you might consider.

My issue primarily was more with this:
Which is why I asked what was misleading. I bring up the other videos (Mostly the Weekly Challenge Guides) because in those I will actually at times briefly show the tuning I did to the cars I used for the special event. I usually am pretty honest with what I have on my cars (More so in the video and less in the description) so I was confused on where I was misleading more so then actually "Ruffled". No hard feelings.

Thanks to your tune I was finally able to win with this truck on hard difficulty on the first attempt.

Which part? They all look like really good races this coming week. If you're referring to Eiger, it works really well with low power and low weight, momentum cars. So, the last Kangoo One-Make should be a fantastic race this week. There are worse tracks to host it, like Interlagos.Pure comedy at this point..

It's a 50/50 week for me. I don't mind Autopolis it all. I actually learned to enjoy it and maybe I'll try the Suzuki Gr4 that it is displayed in the banner.
The Kangoo is indeed a fun car to tune and drive and also the classic cars at Goodwood seems appropriate too. Even though it is a very short race if memory serves me right.
Daytona tri-oval is meh and so it is the Ferrari challenge. I just don't care much about it.

Same here. Looking forward to doing this race again. Did it last time with a heavily tuned R32 which tended to oversteering, so all those corners where pretty fun
The rest of the weeklies look ok to me, although I'm always a little nervous when Eiger is on the list...

Kangoo at Eiger? 10/10.

I wish I could enjoy all the cars and trucks of GT, but I just can't. The medivac van? The Jimny? Sambabus? There are several more. It actually angers me that GT requires the use of such cars for certain races. Just give me my damn Elise back and allow me to use it in every race, lowering the PP to under 50 less than any competition and I'll still win every race and have a great handling car too! So much grrr.
