What's up my GTPlanet Weekly Challenge Motherlovers?
This week was light and shadow for me.
All races were done on hard difficulty except for the last one.
First was Japanese FR @ Lago Maggiore West. I chose the beautiful Fairlady '69, on CS tires, tuned to 448PP. And damn, this car feels like it's made for this track! I passed Gallo at the end of the 2nd lap but he didn't give up and was sniffing at my exhaust for the rest of the race which I won by 7 tenths. A fun and close one!
What a beautiful car!
Next was the very French Special Event at the Circuit de Sainte Croix. As usually there's no hint of the state of tuning, so I used my fully built BX on RM tires. Took P1 after exactly 38 seconds, so I guess my choice was a bit overkill, but hey, that's not my fault¯\(ツ)/¯
It was a lonely race
I then headed to the best track there is and ever will be for the recently added Lightweight K-Cup. I already did this a few times in the last weeks, it's definitely one of the better events IMO.
The by far quickest 400PP Kei Car is the Suzuki Carry (which, strangely, is just 385PP) and that's what I chose.
The weather changed a bit later this time and I had already passed Fraga when the heavy rain started pouring down. Played it safe and won comfortably by 13 seconds.
When the weather was still nice
Next was the Ferrari Challenge at Dragon Trail. Last time we had this race I was using the F40, so this time I chose the F50, slightly tuned and on SS tires @ 677PP. And I gotta say it now, I like the F50 more. It just feels better overall and for me this is probably the ultimate Ferrari.
Had a bit of a fight for P2 with Valente in the F12berlinetta. Couldn't pass him on the straights but had the upper hand through the corners. Once I passed him it was rather easy to get to P1 and win the race. I really enjoyed this one a lot, the F50 just feels so good!
Feels amazing, looks amazing, sounds amazing
Last was Group B at Trial Mountain and that's the shadow I was talking about. Not only is this one of the worst paying events in the game, it's also one with the worst AI behavior IMO. They all drive weird and I just don't enjoy this at all. So I hopped into the Mitsubishi and turned the difficulty down to easy to make absolutely sure I don't have to redo this race. FM5 non-stop easy victory.
Me & crazy AI
Got CRB at all races except the Ferrari one, where I had slight contact at - you guessed it - the COD. I just seem to never be able to anticipate how early and heavy AI is braking there.
The car ticket gave me, of course, another VGT and of course it was one without a cockpit - the Peugeot, which I immediately sold for 470k. Not a great price tbh but meanwhile I'm used to this and it's pretty much exactly what I expected.
