On the GTP account, Daily Race C was a disaster. I had no speed in the Honda NSX, starting 14th in a mix of DR B and DR C drivers, and drove like an idiot. The only passing I did was the result of others' mistakes (and somebody who accumulated 4.5 seconds of penalties on the first lap quitting), and after cooking it in the penultimate left-hander (subsequently getting t-boned by the last running car, who at first tried to let me by and then decided to spin coming out of the last corner), I finished the same 14th, losing a bit of DR (though not enough to drop back to D). Somehow, I got the CRB.
As I still had my rental Chevrolet Corvette Gr.3 from the Manufacturers Cup, I tried Daily Race B. I set off 12th of 14 in a much cleaner race with mostly C/S drivers. As Catalunya isn't my favorite track, I pulled aside intending to just ride around in the back. Somebody else had a more-extreme intention, not only pulling over, but ghosting until he was 5 seconds behind me. With a couple dropouts and somebody inexplicably letting me by, I finished a clean 10th. I lost some more DR though, and am hanging on to a C rating by a thread.
On the bright side, I'm now 22 Sport races into the 50 required for the last PSN trophies. Another bright spot - the all-cash 5-star workout ticket gave me the 2nd-highest showing/2nd-highest possible/lowest-legal (the 3 lower prizes were all coins) 500,000 Cr.
On the Plus account, I struggled mightily to gold MS-9. The 4-star marathon ticket gave the low-showing, yet 2nd-highest-possible, 500,000 Cr.
