In World Touring Car race700, there's such mockery of the top brass of drivers.........

I chose the Mazda3. Around end of lap 1, it was evident rain is going to hit the track. While I pitted to swap RH to IM, the AI (top drivers of the game) continued to stay out. As I was on IM, I caught upto top 6 by end of the 2nd lap who were struggling to stay on track.

Then they all pit & switch to W instead IM as the rain wasn't falling hard which is why I chose IM. After 2 laps, the rain eased off & the AI cars pitted for IM (sheesh) while I continued on the drying lap.

At the end of lap 6, I pitted for RS as there was a clear dry line. The AI cars made another pit stop for RM/RS tyres. I won the race by 50 seconds approximately. It was comedy gold of wrong strategy by the AI cars. This is the reason why I now just prefer racing in daily races or lobbies as it feels more real & competitive.
 
A challenging and enjoyable selection of races this week. All completed on Hard difficulty, some took a few attempts to conquer.
This weeks’ Super Cinco…

Sunday Cup Classic: Mini Cooper S ‘65 - Engine and suspension mods, CM tyres. This was a challenge to win but I enjoyed every attempt. My favourite being 'Photo Finish' win!
Lightweight K-Cup: Super Carry - Fully tuned, CS tyres. The PP rating for this truck is ridiculously low, but it was still tough getting to the front in 5 short laps.
World Rally Challenge Gr.B: Celica GT-four - Stock (with Dirt tyres, obvs). Knowing how easy it is to beat the AI in comparable machinery, I decided to choose the least powerful Gr.B car I own. Took a few attempts to get used to rallying again, but it was fun.
Elantra One Make: Not a fan of the wheel spin and torque steer, but it’s a challenge to win this race. Thought it would be easy, so didn’t push on first attempt, and finished 3rd as a result. Focused for the second, and winning, run.
WTC 700: Porsche 992 GT3 R - RH tyres, and power restricted. I bought this to complete the Seasonal Menu, so thought I should give it a go. Bought IM tyres expecting inclement weather, but no more than a few spot of rain fell, resulting in an uneventful and easily won race.

6 Star (Car) roulette spin yielded a Toyota TS010. Already owning one I’m yet to use, this will be sold once the used trade in value peaks again.

My 'Photo-of-the-Week' goes to this super-tight win at Tsukuba!

1. I begun with the car I used last week, the AE86 Truno. I made this car to be a bit of a touring car (Still haven't finished the livery)
2. Next, I used Mocha, the Cappachino (Just a nickname I gave it back when I used to play Auto Modellista)
3. The 98' Subaru handles pretty good, despite the fact I spun nearly 3 times because I don't do much rally.
4. The Hyundai GR.4 car... Can't say much about it.
5. Finally, I used the GR.4 Porsche Cayman. I got lucky, and the rain wasn't too bad, so I did a one (or two?) stop.
