Pretty easy week overall; none of the events have felt like tough racing, so I may try Mt Panorama and the WTC700 with some other car entries and/or detuning if have spare time to do so.
Not a lover of the bump & grind dirt races in GT7 so the Pickup Truck Race at Colorado Springs was a one and done. I used a stock Ford Raptor although I didn't even bother in putting a cool livery, stock color and back to the garage with dust and sand.
I then unveiled the soft cotton cover of my classic Shelby G.T.350 '65, tuned at 600PP for American Sunday Cup 600 at Grand Valley. I'm no fan of most american muscle cars (mainly because I'm no good driving those beasts) but this beauty is just a joy to the eyes and handles pretty damn good for its power. I took the lead on the last lap and cruised to the Finish Line. US-1 HWY is just the perfect backdrop for a weekend ride. Once finished, I took it to the car wash. Ship shape and back to the garage.
I don't love Alsace, so the One-make Special Event with the Toyota Land Cruiser ’74 felt somewhat burocratic. Straight win. non-eventful even if the AI tries to break test you to hell on the turns.
Mount Panorama for the Race of Turbo Sportscars - Took a plane Down Under but couldn't ride any waves the weekend before the event as I had forgotten my surfboard inside that old blue Land Cruiser back at Alsace
Once in the circuit I got straight on my trusty Lancer Evo Final '15, tuned by master Praiano to 700PP with 571BHP and RM tires. I love this circuit but the event was far too easy as I was about to lap some cars by end of the 5th and last lap. I will try another tune for this car downrated at 600PP and SM tires later this week if time allows to see if I have a bigger challenge in hands.
Last but not least, the WTC 700 affair at Dragon Trail was the perfect chance to take my NLS-series Team Alpine Ferrari 458 Gr.4 out for a spin. I decided to go with RS tires and FM1 and try to 'forecast' how big the rain clouds coming down the circuit would be by the time I had to pit but, to be honest, Inters or Wet were not the drama of the race. The drama was how slow the AI (at normal difficulty) was at multiple turns, they seemed to basically park their rides there. Pitstop at lap 5 for Inters and refuelling, going to the end from there while taking evasive action at almost every turn even before I started lapping backmarkers. Far too easy win, even for my taste (and even easier to say it now that I have my 1 Million gold prize in the bank!
) so I'll see if I can run it again with another lower powered car and/or raise it to difficult.
