Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

Has there been a Special event in the past that forced one to buy some legendary car? Otherwise I doubt it will come. But a RA272 race would be really cool, e.g. at Spa or some other "classic" location

There's never been one that forced an LCD car, but the Group C event was one where the only special picks for it were in the LCD, it's just the event itself had no regulations.

PD is on fire this week... Great picks!
The Honda RA272 on Spa 🔥🔥

 

[Com Fox]

So glad I already have one because an idea of being locked out the completion cause you didnt want to spend 2 million+ credits for it is absurd. Should be a fun drive though

Daytona gonna be a funny one for me because I just did the harder GT Cup Gr. 3 version

Another pretty good week for events, especially with a new special One-Make series.

 

[sirjim73]

RA272 is a Special Pick today over the LCD. New special event for it?

You sir win an internet cookie 👏

 

[Greycap]

Now hoping that they've put some serious tyre limit on the Honda. They know how the old timers should be, seeing that the Masters S-7 test is on comfort softs, and this should be something similar.

The AI cars have some cool liveries. That counts, right?

Huh, that is indeed new (And abit pricey for those not in the millionaire club quite yet). Still, looking forward to it.

Also, its been about two or three months but time to bring back my 911 GT3 Cup build out of the garage.

Can you rent a car for these events ?

 

[RACECAR]

Sadly, you cannot. Pretty much means if you can't afford it, you're not completing it.

 

[KAlex122]

Well. Now i know where to put the 2 mil from today's closing TT.

 

[jesse100190]

using the ts050 hybrid '16 for the 800pp the 911 Carrera '95 for the Porsche and the euro races and the the gto twin turbo '91 for the japan race.

Lucky you - I'm always already more than happy if I get bronze in a TT

Rarely been looking forward so much for a Weekly! And it's the very first time that I wish gt7 had those post-processing filters like other games. I always found those completely useless, but for that RA272 event a sepia filter with film grain would be awesome

At least is not that conplicated to get the 2.5 million ingame anymore, a couple of hours and is affordable

What sort of PP are the AI using? Rough estimate etc

 

[ROCKET JOE]

Could afford a new RA272 and I'm set to go ...

 

[jesse100190]

had to sell a couple of gift cars to get the one make car

 

[Carpocalypse]

Just Did WTC800 Spa, still short by about 300,000 credits. Let's hope the tickets are enough to cover the costs.

 

[05XR8]

I bought the RA yesterday to revisit the WTC700 now that I have thirty millyon doCredits. Been building it up to buy more muscle and pony cars when they resurface.
Why PD? Why you do the temptation?

Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges: The Hondataker​

More new Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges are becoming available to players around the world, ticking over to a new set as Friday morning arrives in your local time zone...

 

[05XR8]

Love the title. Might be pulling the trigger.

 

[kjb]

You I saw the Ring and at 1st I thought it was the GTRs again but Reading Is Fundamental 🤣🤣 so I actually read the rest of race title and saw it was the Porsches. If I get a chance to do this it will be either the 904 or 959. Not sure what to use for the other non Honda F1 races

Let’s Go 😎🔥

You sold me 959 it is. By the way that is an awesome pic

 

[jesse100190]

did some gear tweaking to some of the cars i am going to use for the weekly

 

[05XR8]

I’m sticking with my original plan. Saving!

Here are the liveries from my race. One of the AI ran the standard livery. Anyone get different liveries to the ones below for the AI?

 

[jesse100190]

the Daytona road course was easy peezey made it to end of lap 9 before pitting, the one make drove me up a wall its original tires was struggling with had to switch to a more grippier one and won it, had a very wet Porsche race at the ring had a tough time accelerating on the slick track, the gto twin turbo had some bad turbo lag, the euro race was simple

 

[Fuzzi0n]

Mostly easy week with one exception. Sunday Cup you only need to worry about the M3s, stock Golf GTI was enough to win and decent fun to drive. Japanese 4WD Challenge is made easier by a lot of the cars being on CS tyres so I didn't have any trouble with a stock GR Yaris, biggest issue is them randomly braking on a few corners which can catch you out. Porsche Cup is a fun race with the possibility of rain, for me it only started right at the end of the lap but in previous attempts I remember it raining much earlier. Used a stock 997 GT3 which took a couple of tries to get the right grid as if the yellow GT3 starts at the front it's much harder to win. Few of the AI spun at Pflanzgarten so watch out for that, might also gift you a win depending who does it. The 959 can be very quick if it rains hard, was still fast for me in the dry. One-make is a nice idea but ultimately I didn't really enjoy it as there's 2 AI that are considerably quicker than the others, they were running low 2:28 in the fastest race I saw. Everyone is on RH too so the cars feel like they have too much grip and aren't as interesting to drive as they could be. I did manage to win with a stock RA272 after several attempts and some setup changes, fast laps were mid 2:27 and the field wasn't as quick that time thankfully. It seems if you can split the top two up they will lose multiple seconds a lap on pace so once you're in second you're pretty much guaranteed to win. WTC 800 is always fun with it getting dark at Daytona. Straight line speed matters so there's a lot of tuned road cars that can work well here as long as they'll do 5 laps on fuel. Went with a swapped 4C and won by 20 seconds without much trouble, pitted for tyres and fuel on lap 5.
