Feeling much better these days and thus I put some effort into this week's races.

In the Hyundai 2025, had to pit at end of 6 for petrol, the Jaguar pitted at end of 7 and i caught and passed in final lap.

Days of Thunder (1990)

[During a pit stop]

Harry Hogge: All right. While we're still under a caution, I want you to go back out on that track and hit the pace car.

Cole Trickle: Hit the pace car?

Harry Hogge: Hit the pace car.

Cole Trickle: What for?

Harry Hogge: Because you've hit every other goddamned thing out there, I want you to be perfect.

Wow, that red car(with the number 25 at lower left) looks like a beast that can blow several AI players to shreds.

All I did was strip all decals off and repainted then re-applied the race number.

I see that the Grey fin blended in with guardrails in background and made car look different

This week’s challenges lived up to the name. My EV challenge on the main account was used in the Sunday Cup race with the i3, which I believe is the slowest one in the game. I thought about using the Ioniq5 N, but the i3 is in the same realm as the competition.

The GT40 wasn’t a match for Serrano’s C8, but it was an enjoyable run.

The alternate account choices (now level 53)

The Mach Forty was a new drive for me, and more than a match for Serrano. He might have had a bit of help going off at the chase, but I had to.

Instead of moping around waiting for my T598 to be fixed, I just continued with my runs.

Done in a PS5 controller with Motion Control steering. :sly:

Hard difficulty as usual.

I reckon it will hit 2:49s with the T598...

I started on the WC on Friday. I used Hyundai VGT at Saint Croix. I was able to get 4 laps before stopping for a recharge. The good thing is I didn't have to change tires.

Next I used the a swapped Escort tuned to 700pp. his race made me kind of upset. I wasn't as far as the Vettes and Vipers but I could handle way better. I took the lead on lap 4 and I got up to a 3 second lead on the C8. My nose started itching so I paused to the game to scratch my nose, when I started back the game back since I paused in the middle of a turn ( I know very dumb but I wasn't thinking) so of course I smashed into the wall and just as I got turned around the C8 blows by me. I try to catch up to him and I got close and ending up losing by about a second. I was so mad at myself I forgot to take a pic.

Anyway I enjoyed the one make at CGV. I am starting to get use to that track and I am really starting enjoy that track.

Next I chose the Tuscan Speed Six for the next race. This was the first Speed Six I bought and I think it as the best tune out of all of them. I wish I could copy that tune to all of the rest of the Speed Sixes I have.

For the last race I used the Corvette VGT to smash this race

I got the Mission X from the 6 star ticket
 
Something must have come over me while thinking about different cars to use at Bathurst. Suddenly I had that stupid idea of ...

:lol: Lapping Serrano ! The ultimate punishment ! :lol:

Didn't take much more than a minute before I had bought a Tomahawk S. Adrenaline Red. Slapped on RS compound, did some minor tweaks and went to work. First time drive. What a monster. 5 laps of high speed pursuit. At Mt. Panorama. You all know me by now so I don't need to say I wanted to do it cleanly, staying away from cars, staying away from walls even more. And after about an hour I actually got there - there's been one minor touch :rolleyes: while lapping a group of cars but I still got the bonus rewarded.

That'll tell PD how to play "fair".
 
St. Croix is high on my list of least-favourite tracks in the game - the last 30-40s of the lap are just horrible, and the Gr.1 event in particular just doesn't sit well with me.

Still, thankfully passing the event doesn't require a win, so P3 is good enough for me for now.
