In a harry to take daily mileage i choose Forest and my "Police academy " car .
Unfortunately didn't cover the mileage with 10 laps so i try different strategy in Fuel management and both times i put them all in Jail 🤣 while i was out of fuel ( both times ) at final straight.

Second attempt

Also i failed tragically yesterday with the RS 22 Porsche that needed two stops even at lower hp and pp with RH tyres and end up 4th but i want say it 🤣 .

The tragic of this week is that i get SIX 3* tickets in a row from Monday ( tomorrow I'll open them ) and need another one to bite the dust on my old record 😁

The 6* brought yesterday a Tomahawk VGT that can sell for around 600k .

Except the dirt that am tragic everything else is fine with out counting and the rewards from completing the races .
6* parts brought.....what else ?

My weekly, I went with a LeMans theme.

I know the Radical isn't LeMans but I had to use it as a LMP car in a winning livery.Tried to make the Nissan GTR rally car look like the GTR they used at LeMans that one year,

Well I had a break last week due to switch 2 release (still did the weekly, just not under my normal conditions/rules), this week I came back to do my usual PSVR2 + hard AI weeklies with the following;

The theme this week for me was 'favourite cars that fit the regulations'

1. Favourite turbo sports level car - stock powered alpine a110s with one way LSD, 9kg of front ballast and CS tyres - this was enough to get it juuust below 500pp, in fact I tried a few different cars for this event, as it was weirdly the toughest event this week to actually get first place in due to the AI alpine or the AI A45 Merc... Cheating blighters (Renault Mégane is 501pp, alpine is at 532pp, A45 is 522pp, all stock) got first on the final hairpin.
   
   
2. Favourite modern saloon - fully modified Genesis G70 on D tyres - this might've been overkill, but it is a riot to drive, really helps with a high RPM turbo it makes all the suitable rally turbo noises hahaha, got first just before lap 2. And ironically my only clean race bonus.
   
   
3. Favourite turbo aspiration supercar - 700pp build moderately modified Honda NSX (modern) on SM tyres - might have forgot to alter my gear ratios with this build, but this thing has grunt, so it wasn't really an issue, was first place before lap 3...oops.
   
   
4. Favourite generation Corvette - highly modified supercharger-S build C3 convertible tuned to 700pp on SS tyres - after failing to make use of the C3 in the last one make limited event, I never thought I'd get the chance to succeed with it again, but thankfully this track and reg combo allowed me an actual chance to win with it in a 'vette only event, was a bit of a scrap though, only secured first by lap 3.
   
   
5. Favourite Gr3 car - Suzuki VGT Gr3 with BoP and vehicle setup pre 1.49 configurations (with pre-1.49 bop ballast removed) on RM tyres - this car is ridiculously low pp for its performance capability but it's also godawful on fuel, so I actually failed the first run, by extending my first stint too long for the car to no stop on FM6, so my 2nd attempt was more successful, pitting early on lap 3 to get just enough fuel to finish the race, staying on FM6 the whole way through, I was a bit embarrassed I had to do two goes here, but sometimes you have to learn from your mistakes. #BuffSuzukiGr3.

Overall a fun and chill week for once aside from the first event ironically!

I do not like rally tracks....

I was inspired by this weekend's race at Le Mans, in 2022 this car DNF but I wanted to give it the class win that it deserved.

Got the chance to do the WC last night. Started out with 330 P4 at Deep Forest. I love that car in these type of events. Very well balanced car

Next the I did the Race of Turbo Sports cars with the Suzuki VGT Gr3. another fun car for me. Very easy win

Next up it was the Corvette one make at LeMans. I was excited for this and used my race ready C8. I forgot this is a very finicky build and I spun after hitting a C1 and spinning out at the first curve. I recovered and was able to take the lead by the start of lap 2. I love this car as I was able to get up 217 going down Mulsanne. Did a great 2nd lap to build up a huge lead followed by an even worst 3rd lap. As great as my 2nd lap was the 3rd lap was the exact opposite. It was like I changed the controls after the 2nd lap as I spun out numerous times in the 1st 3/4 of the lap but I held to get the win.

Next it Fisehrman's ranch I started with the Escudo but I didn't like it at this track so I switched to the Audi and won the race to get it over with.

Finally I took the Valkryie to Deep Forest to finish the WC

Got 100k cr from a 5 star ticket and got the Subby VGT. I never bought because I remember it not being that great in GT6. Anyway before I sold it I took it LeMans to if it could be useable for me. It was okay decent fuel assuage at Fm6 about 5 laps. But it felt sluggish at FM6 so I want to see if it moves a little but better at FM4

 

[Greycap]

Surprising trips down the memory lane this week. First I took the (swapped) Escudo rallying, and then cleared both the turbo sports and WTC700 with an (also swapped) R33 in a homebrew throwback livery.

 

[DDK-Racing]

I am a bit behind after being ill last week, so here are my picks for last weeks races:

Pickup Truck Race: Toyota Tundra, weight reduction and some exhaust/manifold/filter tuning. Easy win & CRB 🟢
Silvia Sisters: Nissan Silvia Q's (S13) '88 with the LS7-BRZ swap. I tried some more stock cars at first but needed more power to make up the time. So I went total overboard CRB 🟢
Honda Civic One-Make: Civic Si Extra (EF) '87, race spec. Really like the livery on this one. CLASSIC! CRB 🟢
European Clubman Cup 600: Stock Jag XJ220 '92. Comes in at just under 600PP. It was waiting for an engine swap so I thought lets give this a go. Went surprisingly well, feels a bit heavy on some places but grip was ok! Exciting race against Gallo's cheating Alfa. CRB 🟢
World Touring Car 900: Lexus RC F GT500 '16, if I remember correct 1-stop with RM and FM1... CRB 🔴

Roulette gave me a Super Formula, can be seen in the background.

And then this weeks picks:

European Sunday Cup 500: Autobianchi A112 Abarth '85 K24-swapped. Even with RM is comes at just 570PP. Wheelspin in 5th at 265kph CRB 🟢
World Rally Challenge: Audi Sport Quattro S1 Pikes Peak '87. Made for an easy win. CRB 🔴
Race of Turbo Sportscars: Nissan Skyline Hard Top 2000GT-R (KPGC10) '70 with the LZ20B-swap. A bit twitchy bit I really like this car. One of my favourite Skyline forms with a legendary engine... CRB🟢
Le Mans Corvette Special Event: C7 ZR1 '19. Don't think I did tuning other than brakes and tires. Sub 4-min laps. Easy win. CRB🟢
World Touring Car 700: Latest creation, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII MR GSR '04 with the Gr.B-swap. Easy on fuel, bit understeery so need some suspension tweaks. FM1 lap1-4, FM5 lap 5-6, one stop after lap6, full blast to the line. CRB 🔴 after AI hit me from behind in the T1-braking zone.

6-star ticket gave me the Mercedes-AMG GT3 '20 that I sold for 200k since I already have 2...

Interesting line up of classic race cars in the LCD. A bit early, but wonder if they'll be part of a new Historic race.
