Ugh, neo classic. Better dig out one of my Group Cs.

Oh goodie. Willow Springs. One of the tracks I absolutely despise.

I really like it, just not in that particular race.

So, no suggested PP then? It’s an open regulations week then? Interesting…!

I believe that the Historic race is 580pp capped. It's perfect for the Mk1 GT40.

Looks like my Sauber-Mercedes and SLR 722GT are getting more outings this coming week.

If I'm not mistaking, both Historic Sportscar Masters and Neo-Classic tend to have PP limits.

It's Avan-Time!

Still missed opportunity to have it at Le Mans.

There is still time for Le Mans, this is only the second One-Make for the Avantime.

After a full week of trying, no clean win from Suzuka. The last attempt got ruined when Wong, on his 8th lap with no fuel saving while I had already had to refuel after six laps and short shifting at half bar, decided to outbrake me on his Racing Mediums that still had noticably more grip than my pretty much brand new ones that had replaced a set that had been just about dead after those six laps, and not even try to avoid contact but slam right into my side. Cheating physics and no awareness, a great combination.

If someone drove like that in a real race I could kiss my racing career goodbye as I'd have an assault charge and a prison sentence coming up. Tony Stewart would look like a choir boy in comparison as he only threw a helmet as the opponent's car from a distance - I'd aim at the ****head's face point blank.

Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges: Hurry Up, We Avantime​

There’s likely only two more sets of Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges coming in their current form, so the latest suite of events that are available from Friday morning probably constitutes the penultimate offering...

The Willow Springs Neo-Classic race is another CLASSIC PD difficulty logic of "We can't program AI properly, so we will just spread them miles alart because we are rubbish and proud of it."

Group Cs on their stock power, running on Mediums and corner like on rails. And we, the hapless players will make do with a detuned one.

Yeah, so probably I'll do it on Easy difficulty on smash those A.I. cars to smithereens until I get my fix.

One last round at Road Atlanta this evening. Engine swapped old school Skyline, but detuned 70%, which brought it down in the 300+hp range. Minimal mods after that, race trans, and suspension, on stock brakes, and SS tires. Came to 598pp, so almost at the limit. Really liked the way this car was handling, ran the race 3 times, to pretty easy wins.

I had one more run at the WTC 600 race. I wanted to go old school, so I pulled the famous Red Pig. I had already put RHs on it at some point. I made all my time up in the first 2 sectors and lost a bit down the back straight. The 4 speed just didn’t have the top end of the rabbits. Still got the W!

did a test run with my super silhouette seen hizal flying across the screen on the 3rd lap , made a couple of major mistakes still got the win.

This week was surprisingly interesting, didn't look like much when I saw what the races were. Sunday Cup Classic is pretty easy but as long as you can beat the Alfa there's a lot of cars you can pick. Wasn't too interested in the Avantime race so I just used my fully tuned car to get it over with quick, not a fan of that layout in reverse either. Historic Sports Car Masters was a lot of fun in a stock Daytona, no ABS and sliding through every corner felt great and I didn't have any trouble catching the Countach in the lead. Was very gloomy for the whole race, not sure if it can actually rain or not. Hypercar Parade I used a stock Aventador and with some ambitious use of track limits I managed to win, I think with SM it would be doable with the clean race bonus but I was on stock SH. There might also be a grid that's slower with the Veneno starting further back that opens it up to different cars. The Valkyrie didn't get through the field easily in my race so it wasn't a threat, if it does get clear track it's hard to beat though. Neo-Classic can be hard if you don't use a Group C car, I just detuned the 962 to 800 PP on RH and ran without pitting. Multiple AI went off at the last corner on worn tyres, the XJR-9 didn't but pitted on lap 9 after losing a lot of time which gave me a win by 30 seconds. If you get lucky with the AI being dumb it's possible to win in quite slow cars but there's also a chance they don't drive fast and then don't pit. Fun race though, like the fact it gets dark and high downforce cars at that track are great to drive.
