Some basic help for the weekly races for 8 Aug 2025 (spoilers I guess?)
I just finished the weekly races and kept a few notes in case what I did can help anyonoe else get all 5 races this week. While I might have cars that you can't get until higher collector levels, nothing I've got required collector level 50 or engine swaps.
Super Formula - Circuit de Sainte-Croix - B
- Put the racing difficulty on easy and mimmick the other racer's lines and braking till you figure out how to improve on them. They brake earlier than they have to and don't accellerate quite as hard as they could on, when you've got the difficulty set to 'Easy', so follow for 2 laps and learn what they';re doing, then improve it for the remaining 8 laps. Ggood luck. Nothing to do here but git guud.
- I really really really don't enjoy the Super Forumla cars and I'm terrible with them but still finished 1st with a 3 second lead on easy.
Schwarzwald League - High Speed Ring Reverse
- Audi R8 LMS Evo '19, hard racing tires, full control computer set to 77% (yields a 699.47 PP)
- Passed everyone before the end of the second lap, finished with nearly a 30 second lead
- Take the last turn flat out, no braking going into it. The car will hold it easily.
- In retrospect, I might have done this one on Easy because I changed the difficulty for the Super Formula race and forgot to change it back, but either way this should be a pretty easy win seeing how far out in front I was at the end.
Jimny Cup - Grand Valley South
- Suzuki Jimny Sierra JC '18, racing hard tires, medium RPM turbo, racing air filter, racing muffler, racing exhaust manifold, racing (slotted) discs, racing brake pads, and racing clutch/flyheel.
- I had this thing souped up from doing this series ages ago, so it was WAY overkill. Don't buy all this stuff, maybe just the turbo and brakes.
- 1st before the end of the first lap on Medium difficulty, finished with a 29 second lead. Like I said, way overkill.
Skyline GT-R - One-Make - High Speed Ring
- R32 GR-R V-Spec II '94, soft compound racing tires, full control computer, medium rpm turbocharger, anti-lag strong, racing intercooler, racing air filter, racing muffler, racing exhaust manifold, carbon brakes, racing brake pads, racing clutch/flyweel
- I had this one souped way up for a previous race and it was a little overkill. I adjusted power distribution to be 65 rear/ 45 front as soon as the race started and got into first in the last turn of lap 3. I finished 11 seconds ahead of second place.
Vision Gran Turismo Trophy - Atodromo Nazionale Monza
- Audi e-tron VGT, medium racing tires, full control computer set to 97%
- Finished with a 4 second lead. Save this race for last, because if you can't pull it off, as a last resort to just finish the week's races out, you can just blast through all three chicanes on the track to pick up tons of time and you won't incur any penalties.
Hope this helps someone. If you need me, I'll probably be in one of the North/Central/South America Nurburgring paddocks running laps in a bone stock light blue Suzuki Carry on soft compound racing tires. It's one of my two favorite things to do in the game.
