Lol, a milage trial! Tried one of those in missions once.....and failed miserably😄

Nordschleife seems to be pretty popular at PD lately...

Well, it simply is the best track ever! At least until in about 4000 years, when some Aliens will recreate it in a 10 dimensional space👽

PD clearly tuning in with the current events.

A Jimny Mileage Trial at Nord? Oh boy... I guess you could call this "The Green Mile"

As long as we don't end up on a certain chair if we fail....🤯

Loving the look of this week's selection.
I wonder if it's possible to win all 4 regular events in one car (under the PP limits), a 930 Turbo perhaps? 🤔

The WTC 700 might be a struggle without a racing engine. If I remember right that one needs a pit stop for fuel even in Gr4 cars.

I've won it before with a BMW M2 tuned to Gr.4 specs/pace. AI really struggles across the mountain so you can save a bunch of fuel there and still make up time.

Hard difficulty, no help but ABS on standard, using a Logitech RS50 on a GT Omega Titan, cockpit view. H shifter and clutch when it matches the car.

Sunday Cup Mazda Eunos Roadster '89, stock, 391pp
Nothing special to say here... CRB ✔️

Japanese FR Challenge 450 cup Mazda RX-7 GT-X (FC) '90, stock, 461pp.
Nothing special here neither... CRB on the second attempt.
CRB ✔️

Initials DD

Schwarzwald League RUF 4.2 '16, 699pp
My first CRB on the Nordschleife !
Big step for me. But I still rely too much on the other cars as I still don't fully know the track. The RUF had mainly tyres, brakes and suspensions upgrades, and street tier exhaust, and was a pleasure to drive !
3rd only, I was pulverised by the red AMG Black Series on the last straight.
CRB ✔️!

Maybe a bit optimistic...

And yet somehow, I made it...

I was clipping
She had a V8
Can I make it any more obvious ?

Achh, so close...

FTO Special Event No permanent mod, 530pp
This little thing has a good front axle, nearly as goof as our French ones ! Strange to see how PD gave the Elantras the worst front axles I ever drove in a sim when this one is so good. Only non-permanent modifications and a mid-range turbo, but I bought a 2nd one to make a kind of NA "cup" version.
No CRB

WTC 800 Mazda 787B '91 - 799.9pp
After a few unsuccessful attempts with a detuned Walkyrie (4th at best), I used my 787 cheat code... Not proud of what I'm doing ! No stopper, RH, mostly FM6.
I love the open road flow of this track !
CRB ✔️... But I wonder why !

Did you know ? The kerbs here are made of Lara's b**bs !

Fun week indeed !

Nice events (I don't mind the evil Nord in a classic). Rewards a bit cheap.

Why?! I did three of the updated races already risking having to do it again, having unlearned from last time but it's actually the updated race I didn't do this week.

I mean, I totally knew it would be that one, big brain move on my part.

From what i experience today ,the new Sunday cup with the 400 pp suggestion , can stand only as a joke .
There's no way .
Am curious what the Clean race master @jad_morffier will pick for this one 🤔.

Other than that, welcome the 500k reward.

Guilty here too. After all the past updates I'm FINALLY holding myself back from doing the new races knowing that they'll be in the weeklies.

Choices for tonight.

Unfortunately I'm stuck on a cruise ship atm and missing out on the GT7 update. Well, it's not unfortunate. I'm rather enjoying myself. 😀

Ran the RX-V at Bathurst. Had fun with the CUV Cup tuned Captur. 930 dispatched the Historic and Porsche field. Only got 11,610 m on the fuel save.

 

[Moose78]

I'll give these a try this week...

Fun week, especially with the mileage trial. Sunday Cup is hard, barely won at 460 PP so not sure if you can even win at 400 without doing something crazy. Historic Sports Car Masters is the opposite, easy and fun as the sun sets with a lot of cars to use. Mileage trial was a nice change but a little weird on RS, didn't bother going much past gold as all the top ones on the leaderboard are going to use some kind of exploit anyway. Porsche Cup is fine under 600 PP, went with a sport spec 959 although I think stock on SH might just be able to do it. WTC 700 is possible in all the Gr.4 cars and any road car tuned to that performance level, AI is super slow across the mountain and they all pit and then go even slower afterwards, still good fun to try out some different cars.
