Driven the Porsche on MP, managed 2:02 on hard so 2:01 should be possible with soft or medium. Need to see if its ok for a 1stop on softs 🤔

Well done getting into the 01s on Hards. I could probably attack more than I do across the top, but those walls are close and it doesn't seem worth it to me. I'm certainly not a quick driver either. I have been starting on Mediums and getting them to last to between Lap 7 and 8 and switching to Softs. In my experience, the Softs start falling off after the second lap on them.
 
Pffff, the new race at Green hell with the 700+pp Xia..momi already build a new thread as how about to win this race .
I think is the race that will take all the attention at these weekly races .

I don't know if I'm going crazy at this point, but is anyone also experiencing automatic braking using the Xiaomi? I was trying to do the one-make from last week but the car brakes by itself? Like the bar goes up by 2%. I thought it could be my pedals but it is detecting 0% brake pressure on both the wheel settings and the ingame settings. Plus, its only happening using the Xiaomi, raced with other cars and nothing happens
 
As this was the last evening before the end of the current weeklies, I pulled out the atomic weapon : Audi RS5
Was 1st a little after by mid-race and finished with 30s margin. Best lap 2:02.XXX

Could have done faster laps, 6th gear was too short and I was limited in the long straights.

Maybe I'll try later to win with the Porsche again.

Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges: Slipstream Extreme​

The latest new set of Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges is beginning to pop up on consoles around the world, replacing the old ones when your own console clock passes midnight on Friday morning, bringing fresh events including a rarely seen event type and some of the new game content from the 1.67 update...

That Daytona 950 pp race is easy peezy lemon squeezy with the base LM55 on low downforce + longer gears + short shifting on FM1.

Hards or Mediums would do.


Until I get my T598 back, will be sitting this one out. Just felt generous today. :lol:
 
Quite a fun week, good selection of races and the mission was interesting too. Sunday Cup needs a decently fast car although it was easy with the BMW M3 '89 that I used, probably overdid it a little. Clubman Cup is also fun despite being at a track I don't like, had a close run to the line to win in a stock GR Supra, AI can get in the way quite a bit around here and lose you a lot of time. The slipstream event was a nice callback to GT4 even if this one doesn't have the chicanes, simple and easy enough to do but also quite different to what we normally get so hopefully we get more stuff like this. WTC 600 has been talked about in another thread with some good suggestions for cars. For me a stock '07 Audi R8 was more than enough and a lot of fun to drive, I'm sure some people will come up with some crazy low PP cars to win even on hard. Gr.1 at Daytona can be annoying if you use a slow car and I made things harder using the 787B with no ABS, still had fun holding off the Nissan on the last few laps even if it did try to punt me at the horseshoe. Just pitted on lap 6 for fuel, didn't change tyres, need to run 1:33 laps or lower to have a chance.

I present this week's Fantastic 5...

European Sunday Cup 400: Pug 205 GTI with light sport tune (and a canister of NOS). Tried with a Stock Golf Mk1, then a ballasted BMW 3.0 CSL '73, but couldn't catch first, despite numerous close efforts. Frustrated, I switched to my lightly tuned but NOS equipped 205 for the (perhaps rule bending) below 400PP win.
Japanese Clubman Cup 550: Civic Type-R '97 semi-tune on SS tyres. I'm not the biggest fan of Grand Valley, but this was a really enjoyable race. Despite being on normal suspension, the little Civic ripped round the bends making light work of much more powerful opposition.
Avantime Slipstream Special Event: Fun but quick and uneventful, 230kph at the first attempt.
WTC 600: GT40 Mk1 '66 - Aero, SS Tyres, power restrictor. As a Nordschleife fan, I'd already had a go at this new event last week, and won easily with a near stock Cayman. This time I picked the GT40, as I have raced it round the 'Ring often and it's very nice round there. Passed all but Sasaki in the SU7 Ultra, on Lap 1. Caught and passed Sasaki at Adenauer Forst, building a lead of around 12 seconds by the time I reached the Dottinger Hohe. Oddly, even tough I won by over 10 seconds, the gap to Sasaki at the end was listed as -1.414 seconds!

GR1 Prototype Series: F3500-A - RH Tyres, 99% ECU, FM-4, TC-5! Wanting a change and rarely driving open-wheel cars, I opted for the F3500-A, especially as it was easy to tune to under 950PP. With the ability to light up the rear tyres with little warning and my heavy right foot, TC-5 was enlisted to keep me headed in the right direction. Won at the first attempt, but only by a couple of seconds!

My 6 Star roulette spin yielded...

Just generally. The LM55 is a cheat code for anything 800PP and above because you can shift before the dash-tacho even registers with barely any loss of pace while halving fuel consumption and tyre wear.

Similarly, I always use the (not-even swapped, just stock and softest tyres possible) Radical SR3 SL for any 600PP race anywhere except those with a very high percentage of full throttle. It'll murder everything around the Nordschleife, and while you might (haven't tried it yet) be repassed on lap one down Dottinger Hohe, it'll marmalise the field on lap two and it won't be a problem any more.
 


European Sunday Cup 400: Peugeot 205 GTI. Easy, the least amount of times I have used the brakes for a race.
Japanese Clubman Cup 550: Toyota GR86. Seal Clubbing but without the seals...or the clubbing.
World Touring Car 600: Hyundai Elantra N. Never gets old murdering the big old Supercars with a vehicle that cost less to buy AND modify.
Gr.1 Prototype Series: Toyota GR010 Hybrid. Since it was super late last night, Normal difficulty just so I could get it over with.
Special Event: Pleasant surprise to have this event and its as tactical as I remember it (only now in far better fidelity).
