Enjoy the rest of your vacation,
@Timm Sheehan.
On the GTP account, the first thing I did was take delivery of a third Jaguar D-type for completing the new Jaguar Extra Menu. I could have sold it for well over 3,000,000 Cr., but hanging onto it allows me to keep a garage queen, a stock driver and a tuned driver.
Before spending on the new cars, I took my pittance of 250,000 Cr. from the expired time trial because I couldn't get the Dino around Sardegna fast enough to get the usual silver. As the Toyota GT-One was shockingly cheap, I was able to buy 2 so I could have both a garage queen and a driver. In addition to the new cars, I also got a second Jaguar XJR-9 so I can drive one around in stock form.
I didn't burn either of the GT-Ones at the new time trial, instead renting a mule. I set a marginal-silver time of 1:35.2, then collected my 4-star workout Wheel of Despair and its low-showing/lowest-possible 10,000 Cr.
As the new European Clubman Cup event at Blue Moon Bay is slated to be one of the Weekly Challenges tomorrow (thanks for setting one of your consoles to UTC+13
@Famine), and I already have my workout Wheel of Despair, I focused on the other 2 new events. The new Audi R8 V10 seemed to fit the bill at the High Speed Ring Schwarzwald league, so I tried it. The back end really wants to come out at the limit, though I had just enough control to keep it off the wall. Fortunately, the AI still doesn't know how to drive HSR in either direction, so 6:28 was good enough for a 6.2-second win over the other R8 V10. The 97,500 Cr. for the clean win puts this in the high non-grindy tier.
I overdid the Sarthe WTC 900 a bit, first by using a stock Porsche 962 C, then by choosing RS tires on my lap-6 pit stop, as there was no rain (though it threatened on laps 3-4). The 37:15 time beat the Toyota GT-One to the line by 40 seconds, the Lexus RC F GT500 by 1:21 and the 2016 Nissan GT-R GT500 and 1997 BMW McLaren F1 GTR by 1:41. With the CRB, it's worth about 950,000 Cr./hour, which if memory serves is a bit better than the other WTC 900 races but well off the Grindy Four.
On the Plus account, in addition to the new cars and the Extra Menu Jaguar D-type (hung onto for tuning purposes), I bought a 1962 Ferrari GTO, knocking down the number of cars I need for a complete garage by a third and dropping my bank account under 4,000,000 Cr.
To start to get that back, I once again ignored the new European Clubman Cup event as I plan on doing that tomorrow as part of the Weekly Challenges and instead decided to overpower the High Speed Ring Schwarzwald League with the BMW M3 GT. Overpowered it is, as it took just under 6:07 to stomp the field.
As I mildly overpowered the Sarthe WTC 900 on the GTP account, I decided to play it straight and use the 2016 Nissan GT-R GT500. It took a few tries on a mostly-sunny track with no hint of rain, but a daring lap-9 pass going into the Ford Chicane got me a clean 4.1-second win over the GT-One in 37:44.
Of ****ing COURSE I got a 3-star Wheel of Despair out of it. Of ****ing COURSE I got not even 5,000 Cr., but an almost-completely worthless computer.
but congrats Martin because 1:33.5 is awesome!!
), I did less than 15 laps at Fuji but hard to find the good rythm with the GT One. Mostly in 1:34.8xx and only one 1:34.2xx (the 3rd sector is killing me). No optimal in 1:33 for now.
while the Team Traitors is training all day long...
