What I used, all of these were pretty close to the bottom of the "last used" car list.

After seeing the Ferrari Luce all week, I had to detoxify myself. :lol:

This week's line-up:
Special TT was Silver on my first lap, done and dusted. Not gonna bother trying to get Gold.
I used a Jimney I hadn't driven yet. Slapped on some SS, a sport intake and exhaust, and even that was still too easy.
Grand Valley was in a car that hadn't run this race yet, Sierra Cosworth from my Custom Race group. Slapped on some SS to bring it down to 601pp. Easy 8 second win.
For Monza again a car that hadn't run this race, my 430 Scuderia on SS. Took the lead at the end of the third and won by 9 seconds.
WTC800 in a car I haven't driven in a couple of years, Toyota FT1. RS, pit on lap 4, won by a minute.

It all began with a bad decision. When upgrading my XC I went with grippier tires instead of more power ... and got burned. After changing the setup the second run brought the win. I even did a third attempt finally to navigate cleanly through the bully pack.

Guess I had that Clubman 600 event in the back of my head when choosing the car for Grand Valley. The competition this week was no match at all for the C7 ZR1, I passed D. Solis in the middle of lap 2. Well ... a really nice track at least, next race then.

Monza. With quite a similar scenario. And a great finish. The 296 made short work of most of the AI cars, however, I indeed had to chase down an F8 that got in front early on and could outrun him exiting Ascari on the final lap.

For St. Croix I went with my trusty 2J sucker simply because it's such a perfect car imo for winding tracks. And such a joy. Since the car is very thirsty even at FM 6, one stop for fuel is needed. So I ran an RH 5 / RH 3 strategy for an easy win.

I always save Time Trials or Mission Challenges for last just to be able to concentrate on it. My way. Mentioned last week that I always set my own goals so I usually spend some time and effort with these, at Laguna Seca it's been 120 kilometers.

The Special Event's indeed been this week's highlight for me, the races left me a bit uninspired. Reason may be more and more of them have been a WC event before and things felt a bit like rinse and repeat.

I’ve only done the Ferrari race so far this week. Part on my recent fun in GT7 has been building a replica and/or tuning for specific races with an AI race engineer. For the Ferrari race, I built a F430 Challenge car and spent way too many laps getting a consistent setup nailed down. The F8s started further down than usual, so I took the lead at the end of Lap 2 and just drove away. Clean Race Bonus was earned without drama. I will probably attack the rest of the Weeklies tonight and PP races as well.

May – Week 5
A quiet week without annoying tasks. Here's what I needed this week:
Gamepad | Automatic transmission | Race Difficulty – Hard | TCS 1

#5 | World Touring Car 800 | Circuit de Sainte-Croix - A
Mazda LM55 VGT (Gr.1) | PP 800 | RM tyres | FM 6>3 | no pit

The low tire wear allowed me to use non-stop tactics with FM6. Steadily going through the circles, I gradually climbed up. On the sixth lap, I overtook everyone and switched to FM3. On the last lap, Fraga started to catch up with me, but I was already far away.

#4 | Ferrari Circuit Challenge | Autodromo Nazionale Monza
Ferrari F40 '92 | PP 700 | RS tyres

Ferrari Challenge is my favorite race and F40 is my favorite car. In Monza, the decisive factor is speed on the straights, so you can only win in the corners, but this time I won quite confidently.

#3 | Time Trial | WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca
Shelby G.T.350

After several attempts, I got the silver. Next, I wanted to get gold, but to my surprise, my results began to deteriorate. And I gave up trying.

#2 | American Sunday Cup 600 | Grand Valley – Highway 1 Reverse
Pontiac Firebird Trans Am ‘78 | PP 600 | SM tyres

I chose the Pontiac, but it's not really suitable for this race, it skids too easily. I was spinning in two races, and I was able to win only on the third attempt.

#1 | Jimny Cup | Eiger Nordwand
Suzuki Jimny XC ‘18 | PP 497 | RS tyres

It was a fun ride on a charged Jimny, nothing complicated. For this livery I used a decal of “B4nn3d-Irony”.
