Does anyone else find \yas Marina to be such a boring track, to quote Mark Webber 'its like a Tesco Car Park'

In olden days in its original configuration, I hated it after my several runs on it via the F1 games as well as watching the Grand Prix and wanted it bulldozed. Since the reconfiguration in some key areas (and discovering other cars actually racing on it thanks to events like the Gulf 12 Hour), I've actually come to like it abit more. Still not keen on the Turn 7 and 8 Chicane but with it no longer being book ended by two other awful chicanes, that's as far as my "Hate" for it goes these days. Definately not for cars with more power then grip though.
 
Here's another Interlagos run with a "no-swap-just-a-good-tune" car. Although I doubt at times that the PP calc for the Boss is very accurate.

Great when you get rewarded with good lap times for staying patient and smooth with your throttle inputs.

Didn't expect this initially but I actually like the track - it's a good mix of straight forward sections and technically demanding parts. The race length of the WC event is annoying though and the 296, at least in stock form, isn't great either.

I quite like the track in fact, been testing it with the various events that occured on it, except the formulas and I quite enjoy it, despite not knowing it well yet

for these weeklies I used the 296 stock with RH and it was really fun, contrarily to many cars, when she looses grip she slides gently and I was able to remain in control, while in most cars when I lose it, it's over (using a wheel).
 
I did the weekly challenge last week but my laptop got messed up and I tried to fix it without wiping which proved fruitless. So here we go. I started at Dragon Tail. I wanted to find something that I could do a no stop run so I found my self using the Nismo GT1 2015.

Since they fixed that car it has been a great car to drive
Next day I went to Yas Marina with my green 296

Next I tried my green Escort RS with CH tires not a good idea. Next I switched to my gold MR2 on CS tires still not good. I switched SH tires and I was able to get 3rd. I didn't have enough power on the straights to keep. I wish I had more time to try another car.

yes a stock 296 with some light tuning, but I found myself almost crashing to to just being yaaawn of this track. just my opinion, remember opinion's are like belly buttons everyone has one. Happy Racing
 
Difficulty for this week = hard
Theme for this week = blue

Easy starting at Sunday Cup. As always when 380pp is required I used my nearly-stock Azenta:

After that, the Clupman Cup was everything else than easy. Beating that race at 600pp clearly was beyond my skill limit, so I either had to lower difficulty or use a more powerful car. After four unsuccessful attempts at 600pp I chose the latter an took out my Aventador:

The rest was well doable then. Interlagos turned out to be pure fun with the TTS which drives so smooth:

The special event was a bit harder then, at least at 700pp, but YMC always is a cool track:

I didn't realize I was driving K.I.T.T. until I accidentally hit the Turbo Boost button at WTC700:

Fortunately that incident didn't cost me too much time and I could gladly finish on P1 with a no-stopper on RHs:

6* ticket got me 1M - only 6 more to go to complete my 100M :) (Please don't ask me what I gonna do with that)

My first drives this week were the Veneno at Deep Forest and the 2016 Roadster at Northern Isle Speedway. Bit by bit, I'm getting to drive all the unused cars with these weekly challenges.

Also - Yas Marina last week, CGV this week.
My crystal ball says Yas Marina special event next week :lol:

Is this the third event with the Hyundai - I have lost track?
 
Sainte-Croix C layout...not a fan. Both this and the A layout just annoy me with how long they are while offering little to nothing that makes them pleasant to experience while B feels just right.

Sainte-Croix is the joint! Is the Hyundai N25 any good? I feel like I'll need it anyway for a special Hyundai Menu collection next week.
 
"Lindblad" debuts the Weekly Challenges.

Fuel Map 1, but made a mistake on starting on Softs. Short shifting at 8k rpm with the usual lift and coast. Boxed in at Lap 6. Had I started on Mediums, it can run all the way until fuel runs dry on Lap 7. Went all out on Lap 8 with a fresh set of Softs.

Hard difficulty? Yes.

The car has been a harbinger of destruction since GT6. :lol:

The Special Event is a banger with a stock Hyundai ELANTRA N. Multiple close finishes with each try. Till I finally got my nose in front by a bee's dick lol.

Look out for Kang in the yellow ELANTRA. If he gets in front he will pull away. If he gets stuck in traffic you have a chance.
