Started with time trial did enough to get bronze. Next I tried figure what car to use at Road Atlanta. I ended up on the C1 Vette, I forgot that the rear end likes to slide so I had to adjust my style and not be overly aggressive.

Next I chose the swapped Crown Athlete for next race.

For the Hypercar race I normally use the Valkyrie but I decided to try the Mission X. I put Rs tires on it and raced. It was actually a pleasant drive. The only issue I have with it which is an issue I have with all EVs is the silence. I like to hear the engine make noise.

For the last race I chose the Bugatti VGT GR.1. I started at FM6 which was a big mistake the car felt too slow. After 2 laps I changed it to FM4 and the rain came at the end of lap 3. It was going to be a semi hurricane so I put on wets and if I didn't switch to FM3 I would have been able to finish the race. I had like 0.9 fuel left going into the last lap and after I lost a race at leMans because I ran out of fuel, I will stop to get a splash of fuel to finish the race.

Got 500k cr from the 6 star ticket.

March – Week 4
For this week's challenges I used:
Gamepad | Automatic transmission | Race Difficulty - Hard

#5 | WTC900 | Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
Mazda LM55 VGT (Gr.1) | PP 900 | RM tyres | FM 6>5 |
This race was not easy for me. I wasn't sure of my victory until the last lap. After two stupid crashes, I lost more than 12 seconds. It started to rain on Lap 5, but it wasn't heavy, and after the only pit stop, I decided to stay on the RM tires. I finished first with a 9-second lead.

#4 | Hypercar Parade | Autodromo de Interlagos
Porsche Mission X ‘23 | PP 800 | RS tyres |
I watched on Youtube that other guys used Mission X for this race and decided to do the same. True, it's controlled like a brick, but it flies like a rocket on straights.

#3 | Time Trial | Tokyo Expressway – East Couterclockwise
I'm ashamed to say, but I couldn't get the gold cup. After 30 attempts, I gave up on everything and decided that silver would be enough for me. It's probably impossible to win with a gamepad.

#2 | Japanese Clubman Cup 550 | Kyoto Driving Park – Yamagiwa Reverse
Nissan Sileighty ‘98 | PP 550 | SH tyres |
The race was funny. I tried many cars with PP550 and Sileighty appeared the best. It makes great turns without slowing down, this allowed me to win by a margin of 5 seconds.

#1 | American FR Challenge 550 | Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta
Chevrolet Camaro SS ‘16 | PP 550 | SH tyres |
Another funny race. On my first attempt, I got hit hard against the wall. On the second one I was more careful and finished almost clean. Sierra RS almost caught up with me on the last lap, the gap was only 1 second.

The 6-star roulette ticket gave me 500 000 cr.

My Thrustmaster T598's power supply went kaput again. Beyond frustrated at this point. So I just went back to the controller and then suddenly curiosity got the better of me and decided to do this run again. The result was... interesting.

Ran the Spa 900 with my 962. First 6 laps on RM, FM 3-4. Started raining, so I took on IM’s. Dried up quickly, so I had to pit on lap 8 to take on more tires. As I was about to go on pit lane, the skies opened up, so I took on another set of IM’s. It rained until the end. I wound up passing half of the field because they were on RS. Good day, though as I received 500k for the daily 4-star and 1M for the 6-star.

Smooth!

Wondering if my two years of wheel experience can translate well to controller.

Hypercar Parade - Mission X 🔰

Mission X is surprisingly good usable in 650PP Porsche cup events as well, as I learnt last week at Kyoto. Granted, I play on Easy because I just want to grind money here and there, but it felt quite planted and even braking was good for an EVboat, although on Comfort tyres to fit the PP limit
