Thanks for the tune for the Super Formula race.

no worries mate

[@AudioJohnny]

Thank you for the guidance of race 4(Nürburgring GP), Porsche 919 is the only one car I can win the race (1st place).

[@ProdigyRacing]

No worries mate! I’m glad the guide helped you 👍 The Porsche 919 is a solid choice for the World Touring Car 900 races because not only is it fast but it is also has AWD (All Wheel Drive) which makes it a lot easier to drive in any weather conditions.

The Formula you race I had to race it twice to get my mojo going. The first race, I used hard tires and the second race I used mediums. Once, I got into the lead I kept my lead at 5 seconds and nursed my tires to the end.

[@ProdigyRacing]

Yeah, this race is a little bit more difficult than it looks but when I did it I pretty much went in blind with my medium downforce setup and it worked out. Racing Mediums are definitely the way to go I think. Racing Hards definitely made for an interesting/intense race. On lap 12 I was questioning whether or not I was gunna catch the leaders. The only good thing about Racing Hards in comparison to the mediums is as you mentioned you would need to nurse them a little but on the Hards you can pretty much push as hard as you can. Good race tho, it’s crazy how I mentioned a few weeks back that these races needed to be a little more challenging but they needed to make it more rewarding too and voila, 2 back to back weeks of decent races. I suspect it’s only because of the holidays and I expect them go back to normal next week or Jan week 3, we will see tho, fingers crossed this is the new normal.

For a Real Challenge, on the SuperFormula race, use the base tune and Soft tires. Good for 8 laps on the first stint, leading by 6sec , pit and new set of soft tires. Back out in 5th place, finish first with 15+ seconds lead.😊

[@markorkarenhanes1354]

For a real challenge, set it to hard race difficulty, like in the video. If you pit, you'll lose, because AI don't pit.

Do you have a tune for the SF19?

[@ProdigyRacing]

Unfortunately I do not. When I first tried driving these Super Formula cars I went straight to the SF23, Drove that for a few hours and then I gave the SF19 a go and I didn’t like driving it in comparison so I’ve stuck with the SF23. It’s been quite awhile since I’ve driven the SF19 so I might give it another go tho.

[@andreasheini9967]

I did it and needed 3 attempts🎉 the Super Formula was quite difficult but I got the first place with 1.5 sec ahead. Thanks for your support with this Video.

[@ProdigyRacing]

That’s awesome mate well done! 👍 It’s definitely one of the hardest weekly challenges we have had. I’ve said this multiple times that I think they needed to increase the difficulty of the weekly challenges but maybe the devs went too far in the opposite direction 😂. Maybe multiple people were asking for harder special events for the weekly challenges and they said ‘okay no worries’ and absolutely sent it with one of the harder combinations in the game. IMO, Dragon Trail Gardens is too easy for the Super Formula cars tho. If the devs wanted to go all out they should’ve done a 30min race around Spa with varying wet and dry conditions, that would’ve been hectic 😂

[@andreasheini9967]

@ProdigyRacing I also think that some people have asked for harder challenges. At first I didn't want to compete because I was already failing in the standard Super Formula races, but thanks to your video I realized why. I started with the SF19 car and I was only driving behind. But with the investment in an SF23 and a bit of track experience, I luckily made it. Your setup has also helped me out 😉
