the more unfun WTC 800 events

Hey ! For me, the 9x8, Quick and easy .
I don't like this track 😮‍💨

Ohhh, 600PP road cars at the Nordschleife. About as close to my domain as it gets. Sure, this doesn't hold a candle to @RCKakashi14's sneaky Espace (I have a pretty good hunch of what has been done but worry not, I won't spill it) but for a straightforward build I dare to say this is quick. Hampered here a bit by the eternal CRB hunt and a slightly unfavourable wind, this exact same car lapped four seconds faster in an all out time trial run earlier this week.

Spoiler: World Touring Car 600

The end result bug that appeared some time ago also still persists. I really doubt the SU7 took 15 seconds off my lead on the ~20 second final sector, in reality probably lost a few more crawling through the chicane.

Spoiler: Interval weirdness

I am pleased.

using my ts050 hybrid for the wtc 800, the Scuderia for the Ferrari race, the supra '97 for the Japan FR race, the FTO '97 for the Japan FF race

Choices for tonight, including a Monday Motors crossover (Technically 2, but one's an early peak).

The "LieFerrari" is probably my new weapon of choice in Ferrari events. Manages energy better than the 296.

And reminding everyone once again that IT DOES NOT WEIGH 2,767 lbs. from the factory.

Pretty good week. FF Challenge is quite easy, sadly already used every car I could possibly think of so I went back to the Integra. FR Challenge is much the same, stock Mark II Tourer V on CS made it easy, feel as if those tyres have more grip than they should. Ferrari Challenge is tricky if you want to use a slower car, or if you fix whatever you're using to have the correct weight. I was running 1:34s in the F50 and got into the lead half way around the final lap. As long as the 812 starts near the back it makes things a lot easier. One-make was stupidly easy using a stock R500 that I've not driven before. The AI is really bad on the brakes and they take some weird lines so I wonder if this is possible with the Suzuki swap. WTC 800 used to be hard but it seems the AI starts off a lot slower now. Later in the race they got down to some 2:01 laps chasing me although they still mess their strategy up and pit on lap 9 for almost no fuel. Most ~750 PP tuned road cars will work, swapped stuff is even easier because you might be able to not pit.

Cars for this week:

Another 500k in the purse.

That Red Bull shall replace my base LM55 VGT as the 800 pp Nuclear Rocketship. The Mazda is no longer viable for such class due to the PP adjustments.
