Someone on /r/granturismo7 asked if it was possible to get a stock #Renault #Kangoo aroundhte #Nordschleife in less than 10:00:00. Or as Sabine Schmitz once said.
"I do that time in a van"

Here I am trying to set a BTG (Bridge To Gantry) time in an unmodified new van, with an #eircom livery I threw together last night.

As an older and perhaps more casual #GT7 player, it usually takes me until the weekend to finish the weekly challenges. Also, this week, while everyone was moaning about the inability of the Viper to take a corner, I found myself wondering if I was feeling the same or if there were other factors at play. I think everyone knows by now that the Viper demands a different approach to corners—an approach that starts much sooner before each corner compared to others. (more ...)

Putting the "Challenge" into the Weekly Challenges this week, the Viper race was a close one, I had to throw all the racing parts at the '02 GTS (and made a sweet graffiti-themed/#RedFang livery for it!) and I detuned the SF19 so much that drafting was essential as it lacked the power on the straights, so for once it wasn't a cake walk.

On the other hand, the Valkyrie seems to trivialise any race it qualifies for.

This week's #GT7 Challenges gave me a change run a few retro classics.
The #Lancer is underpowered, but very light, so I added Nitrous for the straights at Monza.
The #Sierra is just about quick enough at Bathurst, and great over the Mountain section.
The #M3 has an engine swap (from the #Suzuki VGT)
And the #Abarth has been bored out to 624cc, hence the plate!
