I got the 5 star gambling scam.

On the GTP account, I picked up a free Mazda 787B and a free 2008 Nissan GT-R GT500 for "watching" the GTWS streams, stupidly selling the highest-mileage copy of the 787B for 1,719,010 Cr. rather than hanging onto it for tuning purposes. I didn't make the mistake with the Nissan.

I also collected 1,000,000 Cr. for getting silver at Dragon Trail's time trial, then sent a rented Alfa Romeo 155 around Watkins Glen for a sub-1:16.5 time and the usual 3-star Wheel of Despair for the usual mid-showing/lowest-legal 10,000 Cr.

On the Plus account, I collected the two free GTWS-watch cars, hanging onto both for stock purposes, then whooped up on the Weekly Challenges:
  • Eiger Norwand European Sunday Cup 500 in 3:35 with a Lamborghini Gallardo fitted with SS tires
  • Daytona American Clubman Cup in 7:34 with a stock Chevrolet Corvette C7 ZR1
  • Tokyo Expressway Special Event in 8:33 with the same Gallardo
  • Catalunya Schwarzwald League in 13:46 with a stock Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport
  • Watkins Glen WTC 800 in 17:24 with a detuned Mazda 787B (the same one I used for the Neoclassical Challenge last week, with many hundreds of miles of restarts due to poor driving)

The parts Wheel of Despair gve some titanium for an engine that could use it (the DeLorean), the car Wheel of Despair gave the BVLGARI, and the all-cash 5-star Workout Wheel of Despair gave the middle-fing...er...showing/lowest-legal 100,000 Cr.
 
I bought the new cars and added nos to the Evo. Took it to the rally stage race and won using up all the nos to take the lead, then I finished 2nd at Monza before giving the Evo racing air filter, brakes and exhaust system and took that to the last race and won it. After that I jumped in the new R35 and tried Sophy pro around Dragon trail. I took the lead on the 2nd lap but a Ford GT punted me and took the lead which I followed home and unhappy 2nd. I bought the same updates that I gave the Evo and tried again. Managed to win and I didn't touch the nos.
 
After the update install I bought the new cars, bought and built the new swaps, checked for PP changes and sorted my garage. Blew away everything on track then with my trusty 600 PP GT-R '17 and 615 PP Evo Final '15 for five clean wins. Spent roughly 7M credits today, that's well spent I think. Ready for tomorrow bringing new weekly challenges ... ;)
 
Well downloading the NEW 1.52 update was pretty quick, sorry PS4 users lol, but it loaded up and I checked all the new rides!

  • Bought LANCER EVO 8 and modded it up, added a snap on livery and boosted it up to 520bhp. Good car needs tweaking.
  • Collected the TT bonuese for both respective time trials. Mazda and Red bull.
  • Then did the weekly race on the Lambo one at Tokyo Expressway, totally hialrious race. Clocked 260mph on the straight.
  • Bought some more cars, 2nd hadn ones.
  • Took some nice scaped photos at the new Chicago scpaes location. Very cool lovely city!
  • Improved my TT times and did the new GTR one.
  • Bought the Hiace and modded that up, extended and gave it the LS7 V8 swap and tuned it up to 1232bhp, mental but need refining to be really quick. Lot of weight reduction too.
  • Then lastly did Daily Race C, but got shunted and spun overall finisehd 11th. I was in the R8 Evo.

On the GTP account, I bought the new cars, the cars that have fresh engine swaps, and a second copy of the Evo VIII as none of my Evos , and picked up the 6-star Wheel of Despair from the Audi Extra Menu, which gifted the 2nd-low-showing/lowest-legal 500,000 Cr.

As for the new races:
  • Colorado Springs Evolution Meeting went in 6:45 by 0.9 seconds in a stock (other than dirt tires) Evo VIII (and a few restarts to get the CRB).
  • Monza Evolution Meeting went in 8:28 by 2.0 seconds in an Evo VIII equipped with most of the power/drivetrain/brake options and sitting at 553 PP after finding the stock car too slow. This was done only after roughly 100 miles of restarts, and trapping Labouteley near the back of the field.
  • That wasn't close enough for even a podium at Kyoto Evolution Meeting, so I threw on the rest of the go-faster parts and a set of SS tires to bring the PP up to 621 PP. Even maxing out the PP was barely enough, as i took 8:04 to get a 7.2-second win in a very unstable car.
  • Tokyo Expressway Sunday Cup went in 3:50 by 0.4 seconds with a stock Mazda Demio
  • St. Croix Nissan GT-R Cup went in 11:00 by 3.4 seconds with a stock 2024 GT-R (and the apparent rabbit, Le Goff, stuck in traffic)
The workout Wheel of Despair was a 3-star (never change, PD) puking out a full-custom suspension (at least it was for a car I could put it on). The 4-star from the Menu Book was worse, it puked out height-adjustable shocks.

I finished the day collecting 500,000 Cr. for getting bronze at Grand Valley and silver at Suzuka, then getting into the 1:36.6's (a very-marginal silver time) at Nurburgring. I spent too much time on the GTP account to do anything on the Plus one.
 
-Bought a Mitsusbishi GTO, modified it and put the Hellcat engine in. I then drove it around Fuji.
-Bought a Hiace, drove it around Bathurst, gave it a livery, modified it and then drove it around the Red Bull Ring.
-Bought the GT-R T-Spec, changed the colour, changed the wheels and drove it around the Nurburgring GP track.
 
I built a Ferrari 308 GTB to Gr4 spec and a F430 Stradale to Challenge Series spec and began tuning and testing, in the hope of eventually running a club series.

Picked up the new Toyota Hiace van, boosted its street cred with some much needed pep in the form of an LS engine swap😏, 21" wheels, slammed ride, a lick of new paint, some decals and it's ready for work.
There's no more excuses for late deliveries again.🤣

Well, that's one way to get through the Hypercar Parade in the weekly challenges this week…

Just wanted to have some fun before work by taking my maxed-out 1,232-horsepower Hiace to Monza to slay some of the fastest cars in the world. It's so comical watching this van blow by Ferraris, Lambos, and Bugattis like they're nothing. It does help when the AI sucks in this game. Enjoy the photos!

I am also down to just three cars needed to have the entire roster in my garage: the Toyota GT-One, Shelby Daytona Coupe, and the Mercedes-Benz S Barker Tourer. I snagged the Impreza Rally Car, 1997 BMW M3, and W194 300 SL today (I hadn't played GT7 much until recently over the last month).

Swapped my hiace only to find when you launch it the wheels grab so hard into the body you cant accelerate. Even on comfort softs. Pretty cool

Edit this might only work with stock weight, stock suspension and stock trans but havent tried otherwise. Also the ground has to be perfectly flat? Interesting

Roughly 40% chance of encountering this "bug" on every try. it doesnt work when you launch in second gear. Has to be first. Could pave the way for gearing exploits

Firat time back on the PS5 for a couple of days bought the three new cars. balanced the weight out on the Alfa 155 and took it to Watkins within three laps I'd got a 1:17 which is enough for me, I will take a silver anyday, tried the new GTR on the time trial and decided it's hateful. Took a fast road legal R32 skyline to st croix and won that race, took an e36 BMW M3 to Brands and won there. Got 10k for the 4* spinner and quit for the day.
 
did a 90 min endurance race using gr 4 cars at alsace village it went back and forth between a ai car and i for 1st and 2nd. a lapped car holding the leader up allowed me to catch up and take the lead in the final minutes to win by a second at the end.
 
Same thing I'm doing every day. Two races against Sophy to get to 26 miles. I'm not doing any winning but I don't feel bad about finishing 2nd or 3rd.
 
Recently experimented with setting my race difficulty default to Easy or Normal. Seems to make more cars viable, rather than just resorting to the same old cars I know can win each event, or spending lots of credits/time trying to make them viable.

Also bought the 20 mil Merc from the LCD... I think this just leaves me with four 10 mil+ cars to go (Mac F1 road car, the old Alfa, one of the Ferraris and the MP4/whatever).
 
did the 3 Tokyo race challenge today won all 3 of them the last one thankfully had a huge lead into the last lap where i lost grip a bit.
 
Drove my Mitsubishi Evo 8 around Bathurst, modified it, then drove it again around Trial Mountain. I then bought the Mazda MX-5/Roadster Touring Car, engine swapped it and went out to Le Mans.
 
I got a FREE WIN!! (I think)

Right there, 150 wins!!

Except, I keep track of all my wins with a photo, and yes, I have made mistakes miscounting in the past. But, I do often check to make sure I haven't missed anything. Last night, I got win 149 (pictured below). I went back this morning and started recounting from about 20 races back, and the numbers line up. So, if I made a mistake, I made it a few weeks ago.

@Voodoovaj That's pure dedication right there! Awesome to see. :cheers:

For me did the gr.1 prototype menu book with the Redbull X2019 25th Anniversary. Decided to not cash in my ticket just yet. After finishing that book, I fully tuned the F-150 Raptor and took it every pickup truck race event, after doing that once I went back to the Daytona event and did that one a couple more times for the sake of it. Put 200 miles on the truck insofar.
 
Today I couldn't spend much time with GT7. So I ran the European Clubman 600 at Nordschleife once with an Alfa Romeo 8C.

I bought a Mustang Mach 1 from the UCD.

A 4 stars ticket gave me 500K for my 25 minutes or so today.

Lovely (and quick) GT7 day, today.

I did some diabolical voodoo hoodoo one lap haunted horsey magic for the wicked season. I also accomplished 100% of everything except 69% Missions, 69% Events, 69 Gold Circuit Experience and like 6 ish or 9 ish cars to 69% car collection.
