Turns out I don't have to waste all that boost in the beginning. I could have spared it for the end.

ABS turned off as usual.

That Lexus looks badass

The pylon mission totally killed me (don't have the nerves for this), so I decided to do only three events this week.

#1 Started on normal difficulty at Lago Maggiore with my Azenta @ 380pp, but that was too easy, had a leap of 8s at the end:

#2 So I switched to hard at Blue Moon Bay, thinking that race would be a no-brainer. I was wrong. Got 6th on first attempt in the Mono @ 600pp, however this car is notably slower than most of my other vehicles at this PP. In normal difficulty getting 1st was no issue:

#3 Unlike many others here, I really like VGT cars and races. 850pp is perfect for any version of the LM55 which easily outclasses the rest of the field - and looks awesome:

I attempted all races this with stock cars under the recommended PP.

Lago was too easy so I chose a car over 140PP below and turned off ABS

I think this is the closest win I've ever had in GT7. I won by 0.005. 😀

Blue Moon Bay I used the suggested vehicle. Only way to win that was if the Alfa got stuck in traffic. 50 attempts later I finally got past him. Felt good haha

Tokyo was also a challenge in the Aston Martin DP-100 VGT. At 150PP below the 850PP cap this is the most impressive VGT car imo.

Road Atlanta I ran out of time trying to find a stock car that could win. 😔

That pylon mission was much harder than I expected. At first I told myself there's more than 200 cones so if I miss a few I can make it up. I was wrong. There's exactly 200. It took me longer to do this than all of the rest of races this week

Hey guys, before the next patch of WCs goes online I wanted to post about what I did the past days. As already mentioned last Saturday I spent a lot of time at Tokyo trying different VGTs there. I think I can say I know the track a little bit better now. :lol:

Among the cars I used there were a couple of the usual suspects of course but as well candidates I had hardly ever driven before or even forgotten they exist. It's been ten cars in total, they all sat at 849 something PP, and there's been a wide spread of driving experiences : The great ones we always hope for with some pleasant surprises like the McLaren or the Genesis, but unexpected disappointments as well like the Skoda or the Chaparral that I never got to grips with.
Maybe they just didn't fit my style, who knows ...

I was doing 3 - 5 attempts with each car on average plus some early exits now and then ( for crap driving on my side ) until I was happy with the run and it's been a clean one. And now, here's the results :

And then there's this finally :

Looking forward to what's up next week ... :cheers:

That's some dedication right there! Well done.
I tried about 5 different cars first before going back to the Aston Martin DP-100 VGT. I'm beginning think pd made an error giving it a PP under 700. I feel like it should be an 850PP car.

@ROCKET JOE you know what pass from my mind after reading your post , let me picture it

PS
No plastic at new weeklies and we return to clear cash .
Although we have to face La Croissant again but at least is at 800 pp.

2cam16 · 2026-05-28T18:33:07+0100

Any clue on tomorrow's races?

Wouldn't it work better if it was 'Corkscrew'?

So much Eiger and Laguna going on this wek. lol

RACECAR · 2026-05-28T20:53:19+0100

Easiest choices yet (Granted one is a sort of a one-make, but still). Not looking forward to Circuit De St Croix, not a fan of anything that isn't the B layouts.

You may be right. There must be a reason why the DP-100 was one of the most popular grind cars for the Tokyo 600 ...
