I did the part of the WC for the 1st time in a few weeks. I have been spamming FH5 the past month and half. I did 3 races starting with the Twingo Onemake race. I used a stock Twingo on CM tires and while it was fun to drive it is woefully underpowered. Also every time I went into a curve those tires were screaming bloody murder. :D I was able to pull out a last second win for the 1st checkmark.

I wanted to try out one of the new cars so i chose the 499p and detuned it 799 pp. I actually got a 50/50 weight balance adding some ballast. I love to get my cars to 50/50 or as close a possible but that's just me anyway I ran FM1 and RH tires. I stopped on lap 7 to change the tires and won by a good margin.
The Ferrari was fun and very easy to drive

For the last race of my day I took the Valkyrie to Goodwood. I thought I was playing Burnout Takedown and took down a Panda. I know low hanging fruit and all.

I tried the pickup race but I only got 5th plcae. I will come back and try later but it is a terrible race
 
Back and had time to do the weeklies today:
For Goodwood I just wanted to get it out of the way so took my modded Lancia Delta on SS.
The special race saw my lightly modded car for a test drive. Even in this car it was easy.
The truck race was a mess. lol Took my overpowered Raptor and obliterated all of them.
Gr.B was similar tothe truck race,a lot of bangin'. Took my usual Gr.B choice, WRX. No rain,just some dark clouds. Started on RS. Went in after 3 laps and got on RM's. Mostly a catching up after every pit but nothing the car couldn't handle. Last pit was on lap 8 for both fuel and tires. Came out in second and easily overtook first. Won by around 20 seconds.
The Glen was in my trusty Audi but I forgot this track was too easy for the combo. No pits, lapped a few of them. I may retry with Gr.3 cars but I still have to do the PP's.

I went back last night and did the truck race again. I switched to the swapped Ford truck and even though it is still a terrible race and I had a crap race having the extra horsepower certainly helps make up for mistakes

For the Grp B race I chose the Lancia. I had downloaded a livery for the car and since it was editable I change the color to purple. The rain started to come around lap 3 so I switched to inters and got a splash of fuel. To my dismay the the rain stopped by lap 5 so switched back to RH with no fuel and finished the race.

That finished the WC for me. I think my favorite race this week was Watkins Glen. I might try it again with maybe the BMW or Peugeot not sure yet.
