Win in the Lake Maggiore endurance, used the glitch to win.
Dont really car since that race is bugged with AI whos cars are faster than they should be.
 
Nice surprise today...... 4 star tickets, prizes varied from 10 gold bars to measly scattered coins (which I expected) - but landed on 5 gold bars! Yaaaayyy!
Still haven't managed to win Historic race at the Ring in the Ford Cosworth, but getting closer!
 
I did Sardgena and bought a couple of Imprezas I don't own just in case the next extra menu is Imprezas🤷‍♂️
 
Ran LeMans with the '99 GT-R GT500. A bit slow at 700pp, but has great brakes and handling. It's also superb in the rain and gets almost 4 laps on FM6. Easy on tires, too.

Ran Sardegna with the 787B.

The wheel gave Stage 5 lightening for a car I don't have,(of course).
 
On the Plus account, I used the Megane Gr.4 for a wet Sarthe win. I was the only one to take intermediates on lap 2 (I knew the rain was going to be heavy enough for them, especially on a FF car, before the end of lap 3), and most of the rest of the field didn't take rain tires until lap 4. Only Haywood, McEwen (iwho pitted lap 2 for fuel) and the backmarkers took intermediates on lap 3. I made the fuel last until lap 6, as the track wasn't quite dry enough for slicks on lap 5, and I came down with a 12-second lead over Haywood. Only Haywood, McEwen and Mendoza made it to their pits before time ran out, and unlike me, they took RS tires for their last stint. I only lost 3 seconds to Haywood.

The 4-star marathon roulette gave me a small treat - the Porsche VGT. That got flipped for 448,140 Cr.

On the GTP account, it was the usual stomping at Sarthe with the Viper Gr.4, and the usual low-showing 10,000 Cr. from the worse-than-usual 3-star Wheel of Despair.
 
Today, I discovered a new kind of Escudo.

Finally bought my holy grail car. The Cobra Daytona. It is beautiful and drives fantastic. It cost me so long to get the credits, but finally I managed to buy it.

But I cannot race in any races?!?!? Argh, dear GT 7, what are you doing to me? Guess it’ll be custom races then.
 
Started going through all the Gr.1 cars at the Road Atlanta race. Today was the GT-R LM. Crazy cockpit view and really chews up the front tires but it is fast. Great fun to use.
 
Sold all my Group C cars, CLK, F1 '97, one of my Skyline SS(I had five), MP4/4, TS050, 919, F8, AMG Black, AMG GT R and a host of others with sale prices over 100,000Cr.
 
On the Plus account, t took a couple tries because traffic held me up, but I took Sardegna with a stock 1997 Toyota Supra GT500. The usual 3-star Wheel of Despair (4th time in the past 7 days) gave the usual low-showing (8th in a row among cash prizes) 10,000 Cr. (4 in the last 5 cash prizes). Still, it was enough to get the 2016 Porsche 919 Hybrid, leaving, at least until Thursday, just the 2021 Toyota GR010 HYBRID and 2016 McLaren P1 GTR to get out of Brand Central, and a bunch of Hagerty's cars.

On the GTP account, I did a banzai run with the GT-R NISMO in the soon-to-be-expiring WRS time trial, then bought another MINI COOPER S for the new one and was "gifted" another Porsche invite from a 4-star Wheel of Despair. After that, I did my Sardegna grind in the BRZ GT300.
 
Re-tuned my ‘69 Corvettes. Ran LeMans one time each with the Coupe and Convertible. Truly excellent cars. They do drink fuel at a bit over 2 laps on FM6.

Wheel dropped nitrous for a Gr.4 Mustang.
 
I did Sardegna with the Redbull then LeMans with the 787. Then I sold a few cars and bought a second 155. Got an ultra high rpm turbo kit for the Re RX7
 
I've been grinding the crap out of Sardegna - World Touring 800 races. For the credits and to buy more cars.
I've been at it for a week now doing between 2 and 4 races a day. That's 15 laps per race with the Red Bull X2019 car.
Been putting on A LOT of miles on the car and on my driving record.
Bought like three cars and still have 8.5 million left. I'll add on to it with some more races tomorrow and buy a few more cars.

I drove 189.5 miles today.
Total so far for December: 2,074 miles.
Average per Day: 159.5 miles

Grand Total in GT7: 3,766 miles.

That's a lot of miles! ;)
 
On the GTP account, I ran the McLaren Gr.4 at Sarthe for my money. I then did a few laps around Road Atlanta in the X2019 for the online time trial, eventually getting under 1:04, which should be good for bronze. I finished up the driving with some laps around Brands Hatch Indy in the 2005 MINI for this week's WRS time trial.

The cashless 5-star marathon roulette didn't give me the Bugatti invite, barely making it past that to the 2019 Ferrari F8 Tributo. At least it's something I didn't already have on this account, so it's 330,500 Cr. I won't need to spend.

On the Plus account, I used the GR Supra Race Car for the Sarthe money, and the usual lowest-possible 5,000 Cr. (5 of the last 9 cash prizes going back to 11/26) from the usual 3-star Wheel of Despair (5th over the last 7 days).
 
I’m having such a great time with custom races.

Started with some Group A “Pacific Cup” at Kyoto as a part of an ongoing championship that I keep score for in a spreadsheet.

It reminded me of just how much I love the Kyoto Yamagiwa + Miyabi layout. So I did a couple more races there with other grids I'm working on.

First, Super Formula 2019. I have enough SF19s to run a full grid if I just do duplicates for cars that are from the same team.

Then I tested out doing a Super GT 2016 race, but it does need a bit of adjustment.

I've found most of the right liveries, and the races are mostly competitive.

:lol: Good stuff! I’ve been doing the same at the Miyabi layout, but spectating at the ess. The AI go so hard around the whole circuit. This bit offers some cool sight into the cars attitude on the kerbs and mowing the grass. Tracks with short laps are my friends. ;)

Didn't know about this. Thank you very much :)

Yeah, I did it with the NSX on hard tires. I parked it up before the finish line and crossed after 30laps done.
Did not want to show up on the leaderboard with 36laps or some crap, that is showing the world you cheated.
 
Bought four more '69 Corvettes, tuned 3 and saved one for an engine swap. Ran one at LeMans. At max tune, it'll do 200 mph on FM6. Drinks gas at 2.1-2.2 laps per tank in the dry.

Got 30k from the wheel.
