Looks like a fun week.

Wish I wasn't stuck driving so many repeats, though. The GR86 is the only one that is a first-time drive. I've gone through all the Kei cars, Ferraris (at least the ones that would be at all competitive), BXs, and Gr.B cars.
 
Looks like a decent week. I've done all except of course for the Citroen special. I'll probably try some cars I've never ran in these races.
 
Decently fun week. Japanese FR Challenge is a little harder than I expected, there's that gold heavily tuned Silvia that shows up in other races although the AI seems to have a ton of trouble driving it. BX one-make I ended up using a fully tuned car after a stock one wasn't enough, weakest Sainte-Croix layout for me. Lightweight K-Cup is a banger, weather makes things really interesting and if you don't mind some blocking at the end you can win with very slow cars. My Honda N-ONE is to match the Owners Cup specs, AI is like 50 km/h faster on the straights so it was a last corner pass that won it. Probably will do this one with some other cars just because it's a lot of fun. Really like weird combos like this and rain always makes things more interesting for me. Ferrari Challenge is pretty easy given the AI cannot drive through the death chicane at any speed, stock F50 had no trouble, really fun car to drive. Gr.B at Trial Mountain is very easy again because the AI can't drive one bit of the track, won by over 50 seconds pitting on lap 5 for tyres and a bit of fuel, always enjoy driving those cars. Curious to see if anyone can win with the WRC/Group A cars without any tuning, not sure it's possible there like it was at Tokyo.

Wishing everyone a great time in this weeks race.
By the way my 6☆ car ticket gave me another La Ferrari.
 
Very low payment this week and the last race is ridiculously low .
Anyway what stays interesting is Ferrari race and for the payment the key at green hell with 150k for less than 11 minutes, if you survive in rain which isn't so difficult if you don't over push it .
I got an SF Toyota sold for a bit more from 400k .

Anyway it's heavy summer here and the sea seems way more attractive than anything else .

1. Japanese FR Challenge 450 - To begin the week, I used the Mazda RX8. It's a car I haven't driven before, and stock it's just below the recommended amount. It's a decent thing to play with, a bit slippery but not too much.
2. Special Event - This is one of the few times where Sainte-Croix is a good circuit. It wasn't too hard to get first.
3. Lightweight K-Cup - I used the Suzuki Cappuccino here, an upgraded model with some aero, platform and power upgrades, which made it fairly easy, but the rain did make it quite slippery which made me lose the clean race bonus.
4. Ferrari Circuit Challenge - I used my personal favourite Ferrari, the F430, and I noticed it seemed to be a favourite for the AI too, as most were using a F430. I do wish we had more older Ferrari models, such as the 360 or the F355.
5. World Rally Challenge Gr.B - This was pretty easy, stick it in fuel map 6, and outdrive the AI. I went in on lap 7, and had to go back in on lap 8 since I accidently stuck on softs rather than hards, and drove way too hard, leading to me taking a quarter of the tyre's grip in a single lap (I have a very aggressive driving style)

EDIT: Forgot the ticket

Aside from a racing camshaft or whatever for the Toyota S-FR concept, I got very lucky this week. For the daily drive, I got a Suzuki VGT GR.3 which I sold, and in the 6 star ticket, I got a Toyota FT-1 concept, which I also sold and using the extra money, I brought the Audi R18 TDI '11. That completed the Audi menu, and gave me a 6 star ticket, which gave me a Bugatti VGT GR.1. Suffice to say, I expect 5,000 CR for the next million years.
