Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

Ready for some fun in the new cars...

How could I not wide-body the Integrale and Avantime?

Anyways, it looks like a fun week. Let's see if I can remember how all these French circuits go.

Don't know why you are not able to buy this supercharger ? For me it is always available in the Tuning Shop.

OK, I'm an idiot, sorry, I never fit superchargers, so I didn't even realize there was one under semi-racing, and a different one under racing. I guess I just look right through it on my way to the normal mods I do.

That Avantime race is a banger, guys. Not sure whether I like it but it's an intense battle. Vive la France 🇫🇷 ( and Koertig ) !

I have 4 of these for testing, so sure, post up the tune if you don't mind!

Yeah, weird that the high-rpm supercharger isn't available, and you get more power for the same pp! I wonder why that is? I'm sure someone on here knows. In fact, now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever fitted a high-rpm supercharger. 3 turbo versions, 1 supercharger version, and rarely 1 extra turbo version is available to me.

Glad you got the supercharger sorted !
This build uses the same wheels and aero parts as the 600pp version.
The tyres, engine parts and settings are different.
You can set the gearbox ratios to what you prefer. This one was for the Nurburg Ring, that's why the 5th gear is set so long. Usually I just use a freaking long first gear for other tracks to reduce the wheel spin. TC 1 or 2 also help keep it under control.

Choices for the races. Video later today.

It is possible to win the VGT race with the CX.R. The hybrid system lasts about 90% of the race and it limps to the finish line. I just barely beat the Skoda to the line.

Yeah was a close one for me too

nearly had a sub 3:00 lap during the 800 pp weekly race

All my laps were below 3:00 except for the pitting lap of course. I also finished under 24 minutes and lapped the entire field.
To do this, I used the McLaren MP4/4 ‘88 and in order to lap the field, the CPUs need to be set to easy. Although on hard, Senna’s F1 car still wins by over a minute.
Now I’m curious as to what other cars can accomplish this feat.

VS Hard CPU results below.

Choices for the races. Video later today.

European Sunday Cup 400: DS 3 Racing. Pretty much an accidental Tarmac special considering this was supposed to be a Rally build
Vision Gran Turismo Trophy: Lexus Lf LC GT Vision Gran Turismo. You know how it goes.
Ferrari Circuit Challenge: Ferrari 458. Challenge Build doing its thing.
World Touring Car 800: Honda NSX GT GT500. Flawless
Renault Avantime One-Make: Not a bad build considering it has no setup. That exhaust I equipped on it also makes it sound amazing

(Pardon the partially Sepia tone Thumbnail, the site I usually use for downsizing images from the PS5 has become unreliable)

What I used, the Corvette & Renault were new cars for me.
Ran out of electric at the end of the bridge on the last lap in first place driving the Corvette and I managed to hold onto third, could only manage third in the Peugeot.

the TS050 hybrid has the potential to do sub 3 with the right gearing.

Nothing exciting to report this week. Just the norm. lol
WTC800 in one of my trusty 800's, Audi. Easy win. Went in for a quick splash at the end of the 9th and won by over a minute.
Circuit de Sainte-Croix - A_ (2) by 2cam16, on Flickr
VGT in my other go-to,the Lexus. Same car that won this race previously. Easy win over the Genesis/Hyundai.
Grand Valley - Highway 1_ by 2cam16, on Flickr
Ferrari race in my 430 Scud. Easy win.
Autodromo Nazionale Monza_ (4) by 2cam16, on Flickr
Avantime special in my mildly tuned car. It was still too strong for the modded ones. Won by around 7 seconds.

My Avantime did double-duty this week and raced too at St. Croix B. Too easy.

Clear the races yesterday, VGT's at GV took me 3 attempts and e restarts to take CRB 🤬 .
At my top hateful track i took LM55 for a mon stop race and took the CRB for the very first time there .
So anxious to do it that i was just cruising the last 3 laps 🤣
Laps was around 3.10 and over but i don't care , I'll never ever learn that track and don't want to.
The new Avantime is very cool car around 550pp with SS tyres on .
Have 3 with different settings and the one is swapped.
All laps are inside a second with the 3 of them and i guess is the best race for credits of the bunch.
