F-3500 on Yas Marina. I do have a V10-powered one under the guise of "Schumacher".


I'm still in Tokyo, so I'll be able to do everything once I go home on Saturday.

Seriously though, I expected PD to amp up the top rewards for weekly challenges.

That's something I didn't even think about: Would this race allow Engine swaps? I got 2 F3500-A models, one with the V10 swap (Williams) and one with the V8 Swap (Fondmetal) while having a F3500-B Model with the V10 Swap (Tyrrell) and the V12 (Jordan).
 
From what i test A or B type is incredible how much difference have adding a little ballast at the rear (25-35 kilos ) on the Spin situation.
A bit of higher gears ,full ero at the back and thank God i could use TC1 .
Times around 35-36 i guess are able to bring me in front at normal level and since @RCKakashi14 or aka Yasmarinasi doesn't willing to share ( i guess ) his top secret settings ,i believe that someone else could do it in order to help,old stinky camels like me and other ordinary people that get nausea with that fast moving bees 😁

Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges: Start as You Mean to Go On​

24 hours after celebrating the coming of the New Year, gamers will be also be partying — perhaps with a little less vigor — at the latest new set of Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges, arriving at midnight Friday morning in your local time zone...
 
Hope we see more of the F3500 event, that one looks fun! Probably the best rotating event since the original JGTC and DTM races.

Has someone looked at the race regs? It will definitely show restrictions.
 
Decent enough week. Sunday Cup can be a little tricky because it's easy to get held up in a few spots, not the most fun track but good pace of car for it. Clubman Cup you only really have to watch for the Corvette C7 but it's still not too hard to win with a car under 600 PP, just make sure you have good straight line speed. Porsche Cup is good fun given it doesn't use the chicane layout, went with a Cup spec 964 and just about managed to win despite the AI trying to push me wide on the last corner. Nissan GT-R Cup depends where the Mine's R34 starts, by the time I caught it it was already 10 seconds ahead of everyone else. Under 600 PP is enough, quite a fun track with those cars too. One-Make was disappointingly short and easy, was hoping for more laps maybe with a pit stop but it was still fun to drive. Really like Yas Marina in high downforce cars so I had a lot of fun around there even if the AI isn't much of a threat. Ran with the F3500-B with the stock engine and RM, fastest lap was a 1:31.9. Also had a go in the F3500-A and went about a second lap faster also on RM.

Cars for this week:

For me wasn't , leaving aside my 3500 nightmare,at Porsche cup couldn't pass Wulf since was Infront starting 4th lap 😱 .
Trying to preserve CRB didn't get the win either CRB🤣
Run's at 49's (normal level ) as Famine wrote and isn't easy if he escapes traffic early.
Also the first race at GV has nothing to do with 400pp or at least that's my impression.

Anyway am done and I'll return to Porsche cup trying to get the win +CRB with Wulf Infront

1. I hadn't driven the MKVII golf GTI before, It's an pretty fun car, overall.
2. Next, A few months ago, I made a sort of "Carmaro LM" from the Roadster Shop Rampage, It's a very quick car, going around 212 MPH, but very tricky in the corners.
3. The Porsche cup for me is just a very boring race, IMO, so nothing much happening.
4. A few days ago, I built a car inspired by the Mine's R35 GT-R. It's very quick in the straights, but tuning is needed for the handling, as the low speed understeer is atrocious.
5. The F3500 special event was easily my favourite. It was a bit of an handful, as I went a bit too quick for some corners, but otherwise, great. I actually noticed today that the F3500 comes with a semi-racing exhaust, putting on the exhaust changes the sound and shape.
 
I plan to at least do the newly-added round of the Nissan GT-R Cup, using the same GT-R Nismo ‘17 that I’ve been using for a while now. I very well may also do the Special Event and the Porsche Cup round, too.
 
My choices for last night's challenges:

Video (Finally) Coming shortly.

Edit:



European Sunday Cup 400: DS3 Racing. Brought out my Rally tune car for some tarmac action and barely got it done on the last lap.
American Clubman Cup 700: Ford Shelby GT350. Apart from being abit more hairy then usual (might need some adjustment), pretty easy going.
Porsche Cup: Porsche 911 GT3 RS (997). Made short work of the field, might be the last time I use it depending on two upcoming projects I have.
Nissan GT-R Cup: Nissan R35 GT-R T-Spec. As promised, a car built specifically for these events (As opposed to the NISMO that was just "Throw some power on it")
F3500 One-Make: F3500 B. A handful to figure out at first but once I got settled in, pretty easy and fun.

Either my car setup isn't up to scratch, or I thoroughly suck at Barcelona (which may well be as I hate it) but I have no idea how anyone can call this an easy race. Putting in a bunch of 1'49s with one high 1'48 in the mix and still had to fight hard to get the CRB, and no chance of the fastest lap as someone considered it appropriate to unleash "the Wulf" when I was doing too well.

The Grand Valley PP400 race was a lot tougher than I thought. I chose the Mercedes AMG GTS and only barely managed 1st. And without a clean racing bonus lol. I think 400PP is massively underrated. Those cars looked to be pushing closer to 500PP.
 
I had to rush through last week’s challenges as I was out of town for the holidays. This week’s races are done as well now.

The plan for this week was no 911s because I tend to default to them too often. The first race, I decided to finally try my Lancia Stratos that I purchased a while ago. I kept it stock and it ended up to be a fun race.

The second race was at the Daytona road course. I pulled out my “Not A Kit” Mk1 GT40 once again and had another fun race. It was a good reminder on how good the GT40 and Daytona combo is.

The third race was the Porsche Cup at Barcelona. The bigger of the no-911 hurdles resulted in pulling out a Taycan EV that dubbed “Saturn V”. It drives like a bus with a rocket strapped to the back. I got it to the 650pp limit and managed to win with it.

The penultimate race of the week was the GT-R Cup at CGV in Montreal. I pulled out my 400R “1-of-1” once again and actually really enjoyed it. The Mine’s GT-R is surprisingly slow in the corners.

The final race was the usual One-Make race, this time featuring the F3500 siblings. I jumped in my B variant with Alesi’s 1991 Tyrrell 019 livery and noticed that there was no tire wear, so I bolted Soft tires on and went on a mission. I did get faster every lap as well.

The last two races have some good replay ability, so I might revisit those two often.

I unintentionally cheated in the GT-R race at CGV tonight, I missed my braking point because I wasn't paying attention.
Watch..

With those huge-ass GT-Rs in the way, cheating through those chicanes is often the only way past.

I tried twice with a Stock Power Pack Skyline with SS tyres, got as good as 4th but I think it's possible to win. The front the were in my cross hairs but there were too few laps in the end.
