Managed a good time with the AMG SLS at dragon trials, was real handful to narrow down the time but got a solid gold overall.

European Sunday Cup 400: DS3 Racing. EZ
Silvia Sisters: Silvia S15 Spec R. Got a new setup on it and just blew the field's doors off in the corners.
Vision GT Trophy: Lexus LF-LC VGT. As usual, cakewalk.
Gr.1 Prototype Series: Toyota GR010. Rain came at about halfway and boy was I lucky to come in just as the rain hit. AI did its usual crawl and by the time they came in, I was gone.
Special Event: Despite being treacherous (Braking for those 4 left handers was the trickiest portion), managed an easy gold.
 
The Euro Sunday Cup race was the only interesting one I’ve done so far. I’ve been driving vintage cars a lot lately, so I thought I would try the Alfa 8C 2900 Touring. First try was a fail, spun the car a couple of times and lost to the DS3 by 5 seconds. I retried, had a clean run, and won by less than a second. IMG_7457.webp
 
As I was getting ready to do the VGT one, I noticed the Suzuki VGT GR.3 was an eligible car. Last I tryed a GR.3 variant was the Toyota FT-1 (Unsuccessfully) and noticing this had abit more power then that (Along with Yamagiwa layout of Kyoto being a fast flowing and Aero dependent track), I'm thinking of giving it a try and seeing if its any good.

The Toyota FT-1 VGT (base version; not the Gr.3 ;) ) is one of my few go-to "Amogus" cars for 800 pp races. Looks like a Gr.3, but slaughters the field with ease.

The Lexus LF-LC VGT has been my go-to. Feel wise, its a Class 1 car with a Hybrid Power unit. Usually I don't to use the additional power since the EV cars simply lack the downforce and handling to keep up but its there if I need it. I intend on eventually getting the original Toyota FT-1 VGT and seeing how that feels in comparison.
 
Pretty straightforward week as all have been raced several times before except for the special TT.
St. Croix was my chance to test a Captur with a tune by Jeje but with some power upgrades. A good 8 second win.
Silvia Sisters in my SR20 swapped 569pp Silvia. Easy win.
TT took me about 5 tries to get Gold. Tricky car in the wet!
VGT in my usual go-to, the Lexus. Easy 20 second win.
GT1 in my other go-to, Mazda VGT. Went in at the end of the 5th for some fuel and IM's. The heavens opened and I survived again. Easy almost a minute win.
Got 1M with the ticket.

Update: I can report that the Suzuki VGT GR.3 is viable for the VGT race. Challenging but doable.
