WTC600 was another opportunity to pull my trusty old shiny and black R32 out of the garage, it's not getting much use these days but it's my "signature car" if there's ever been any. The specs are nothing to write home about - basically stock Nismo S-Tune with a Group A gearbox and a beefed up suspension but still, 400 bhp in a 1400 kg car really isn't anything special. How it makes use of them, however, is. Needed a couple of tries because the blue Supra just about reversed into me in the first corner.

First of all, congrats ! A bloody good final lap, well done. And a pleasure to watch ( except you killing that final pillar maybe baby :lol:

).
What I'd like to know is whether you can tune that car to around 700 PP ? ... and run the St. Croix race with it ? If possible, would you do me the favor for a comparison ?
Asking because I'm still on the search for competitive GT-Rs that I really like, there aren't too many. I've now found a second one besides the KPGC10, an LS7 swapped 17 Premium model, but I've no clue whether the car's useful or not.

What is the best car and strategy for the PP800 Neo Class Competition for the weekly challenge?
I can't even beat it on Easy, I'm a worthless loser lol

I found it fun in the Espace F1!

June – Week 1

What a mad week! All the races were not easy for me. I used:
Gamepad | Automatic transmission | Race Difficulty – Hard | TCS 1

#5 | Neo-Classic Competition | Fuji International Raceway
McLaren MP4/4 '88 | PP 800 | RM>IM tyres | FM 4 | 1 pit

“Wait For The Rain”. As usual, I started with the most difficult race. After many attempts, I finally got rainy weather. I found out which lap it was going to rain on, and then I restarted the race and changed the tyres to IM ones in advance. This is the only way I was able to win this race on a hard difficulty.

#4 | World Touring Car 600 | Nürburgring GP
Nissan R32 GT-R V-spec II ‘94 | PP 600 | SS tyres | NOS

“Try to leave Haywood behind”. Another wild race. Again, I spent a lot of time trying to overtake Haywood until he came out on top. I cut corners wherever I could and used NOS. In general, I played dishonestly in a dishonest race.

#3 | Nissan GT-R Cup | Circuit de Sainte-Croix - A
Nismo 400R ‘95 | PP 700 | SS tyres

They decided to torture us with this Sainte-Croix! I'm generally not against this track, but not every week. Anyway, it was a respite after two crazy races.

#2 | Special Race – Renault Capture – One Make | Tsukuba Circuit
Renault Captur S Edition '21 | PP 400 | RS tyres

And even this seemingly simple race I didn't manage to win the first time. But on a fully charged Renault, I did it.

#1 | Japanese FF Challenge 450 | Suzuka Circuit East Course
Mitsubishi FTO GP Version R ‘97| PP 450 | SS tyres

FTO was fast enough to quickly outrun all the bots. The race was pretty easy.

What kind of CRB can we talk about in such a crazy week?

I got Porsche VGT Spyder for the 6-star roulette ticket.

Well, now let's wait for the fantastic update on Thursday.

Bold to assume I hadn't done just that already.

Many of you have seen this car in action before, I drove it back when we had the Nürburgring weekly special with GT-Rs. And yes the livery is a deliberately "wrong" one, not a Calsonic GT-R but an adaptation the original Gran Turismo racing modification.

The older the bolder, didn't you know ? :lol:

The same race, two different drivers, two different cars, the same result.

Assuming you damn well know how to get a car up to speed and that you didn't snail race for the fun of it, I think I won't have to put my car into the trash can any time soon. Glad I found it.

Thanks for sharing your run !
