Is this the first time we've had Real World Circuits for all the Weekly Challenges? Just occured to me that there isn't a single fictional track this time around so wanted to know.
Pretty easy races this week. Jimny cup is probably the easiest of the lot because the AI is genuinely terrible around that track, I won by 5 seconds in a stock Jimny XC, I think you could even restrict that more and still win. 4WD Challenge is also quite easy given a stock Afeela was more than enough, there's some good fun options for stock cars around here, especially with how good Road Atlanta is to drive. Supra one-make is similar to the last one as they all have heavily tuned cars, but I wanted to try and use something that wasn't a full race car on RH so ended up using my V12 swapped Supra with SS tyres. Ended up being a decent challenge and fun to drive as the sun went down. Turbo Sportscars was reasonably easy but you have to watch for the AMG GT R, it was running 2:10 laps trying to catch up, also I assume it can rain as I saw some on the radar but it never got that close. WTC 700 is fun, great time of day change late in the race and Laguna is perfect for cars around this speed. Went with a Clio V6 to match the Trophy one from earlier GT games, fuel and tyre usage is really good on that car so it was a simple win with a stop on lap 5 for some fuel. Think you could probably do the whole race on map 6 if you tried but I just ran map 1 and went fast, AI has some weird strategy with a few cars pitting on lap 9 so if you don't think you're going to win just wait and see if they stop.
Any road car will work as long as you only pit once and have enough pace to cover the slightly longer refuel time. Supras generally have pretty good fuel economy too because you can shift early.

Since I have so much seat time at La Sarthe, I tend to use it as a good benchmark for 700pp builds. As long as a car can make it 3 laps, it will be perfectly useable in any of the 700pp events. The Supra is a good option in my experience.
Jimny Cup: Sierra JC. Not the biggest fan of this track nor am I any good at it but thankfully, the AI are even worse. Japanese 4WD Challenge 600: Mitsubishi Lancer Evo Final. This car build never ceases to be fun to throw around. Race Of Turbo Sportscars: Mercedes AMG GT R. Same goes for this GT4 build, might as well be a GR.4 itself with how good it is. World Touring Car 700: Aston Martin V8 Vantage GR.4. No stopped and still managed some quick times, tire wear didn't even feel dire. Toyota Supra One-Make: Admittingly, done on Normal Difficulty because short on time and much like Han Solo, I'm in it for the money.
