It ended up being a busier Sunday than I hoped, so I did a few laps at watkins glen in one of my 930s to get the DW. I got a 3* ticket which yielded a nitrous system for the M2 Comp. I was hoping to get another 959, but it sold out by the time I got on.:grumpy: I might grab another 962 or just wait for the Carrera RS to show back up, hopefully with red or green stripes.

I didn't want to wait another month for the Jag to return, so...

I didn't feel joy after that...
 
Setup test to 1.31 version ... Praiano1.31 setups and tuning old versions myself.... 1.31 update is soooo goood and more needs accurate throttle and brake controlling
 
Took the 15M credits I had and through buying and selling again, as well as selling some rather expensive legendary cars in my collection that I'll never drive anyway, I bought about 100 cars from Brand Central, ultimately only missing 26 cars now for a full collection.

It doesn't take a genius though to guess that those 26 cars are either from the legendary dealership or one where you need an invitation to buy them. And they are some of the most expensive cars in the game.

Also, nothing I've done, but I learned that no matter how ugly a VGT looks, it will almost always cost at least 1M.
 
Drove the McLaren F1 around Fuji, the Sauber C9 around Streets Of Willow, the Delorean around Northern Isle and my modified S2000 around Blue Moon Bay Infield. I then upgraded my Lexus LC500 and took it around Maggiore. I also drove my Nissan GT-R R34 around Catalunya without that stupid chicane in the last sector.
 
Took a stock AE86 about 14 laps around Fuji to start practicing for round 1 of the Toyota GT Cup. I haven't done much with that car other than attempt and fail at drifting, so it was a lot of fun actually just trying to go fast with it. T1 and the chicane entrance got me a few times but all in all a lot of fun.

Didn't feel like grinding any creds today so just took the Alphard a few laps for the time trial to make sure I at least get bronze with it before it ends. Could probably get a silver if I do another session but probably will do Sardegna or Tokyo tomorrow. Had more fun with it than I thought though.

Pretty enjoyable driving those, I haven't been driving many street cars lately so it was a good change up.
 
After lots of grinding and buying today I now have every Japanese car that is not a Gran Turismo exclusive and not terribly many of those left either. After Japan I’ll probably get South Korea and then the US, leaving Europe for last. I currently have 336 cars collected, 378 in my garage, and every used and legendary car (except the Ford Roadster). After a streak of 4-star tickets giving me 10k each, I got a 3-star worth 5k.
 
I sold a few cars so I could buy a Veyron. I used a glitched tune for it and took it to Tokyo. I won fairly easy with it. I took my 962 to Sardegna. It was the 1st time I had driven it since the update and it felt a little sluggish but by the end of the race it felt okay. I checked the pp after the race and it was much lower. So I added more power and removed some of the ballast. Since I started around 11:00 I ended up with 2 tickets 1 4* and 1 5*. Got 30k , & 500k.
 
Done my DW at current TT without improving my silver time, I'll settle for that.

Got a 4* ticket which handed me a Toyota 86 GRMN '16 (64k) not bad, as I did not already have it.
 
Today taking inspiration from @NW_Saint and his collection of all black Ferraris I to started a stealth collection a special group of cars in my collection that I tune to a specific point not max but good enough all are the same color with the same rims.
That alone with grinding Tokyo 50 thousand times is all I done today. :)

Used both Lexus cars on Human Comedy Lake Maggiore, 20 cars to go and one yet to purchase.
Like the Prototype version, not so much the other one.
 
I only really had time to do the World GT series with my trusty detuned 962 after I found a couple of liveries for that and a few of my other Porsches.

Because I skipped yesterday, I doubled up on the racing. On the Plus account, that meant the Lamborghini Huracan Gr.4 was up first at Sarthe. It is still a fast 2-stop option. The dry lap was under 4:18, and it's more stable than before the 1.31 update.

At Sardegna, it was the Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car's turn at Sardegna. The gearing is a bit too slow, but it will turn sub-1:41 laps, the fuel will last 5 laps, and the tires should last 10. Because Fraga was caught up in traffic early, the 26:40 winning time was a romp.

I had an engine ticket waiting for me. Unfortunately, it was something I already had 2 of - the 2008 Nissan GT-R GT500 motor.

On the GTP account, I first bought another elderly Alpine A110 for this week's WRS time trial and painted it up in my usual black paint with red GTPlanet/WRS decals. I set it aside for now and quickly checked to see if my online time trial time was still good for silver, and unless @Doodle (or somebody else) finds another quarter-second, it is.

I ran out of time, so I just took the Red Bull Junior to Sarthe. It's not as easy or as fast as before, but it's more than good enough. The 4-star Wheel of Despair continued the duplicative disappointment, giving me another ultra-high RPM turbo for the RE Amemiya.
 
Ran some TT’s, barely sneaking into Silver. Bought the van and tuned it. Ran LeMans once with my ‘69 Corvette. I forgot how fast it was, (197-207mph FM6-FM1). Got 10k from the wheel.
 
I bought the RUF CTR3 and took it to Road Atlanta. I then drove the Audi RS5 DTM around the Nurburgring GP track, the Nissan GT-R R35 GT500 around Autopolis and the Dodge Viper SRT-10 around Grand Valley. I also took some pictures of each outing.
 
I bought the Veneno before invitation expires today and eas fully regret that i spend on this and didn't buy the CLK .
Try it one lap on lemans and this car its nothing more than a fuel burner .
Also i bought the two alpine VGTs ( not gr1) run one full race each to get my credits back and sold them after .
Except the sound that someone might like , nothing special on those two .
Ill keep the Veneno just in case a new menu appears but am never gonna use this.
Didn't open any ticket,ill open them all at the end of the week after Easter holidays ends .
 
Having had VR for a few days now, I'm testing every Gr. 3 car in a race in Sardegna. Credits are coming in faster than ever before. I think once I've tested them all, I'll move on to a one-hour race in SPA and test every car there too. If things continue like this, I'll be filling out my entire car collection with pure pleasure. VR is a whole new dimension ;)
 
Used both Mazda cars on Human Comedy Lake Maggiore, 18 cars to go and one yet to purchase.
Atenza incredible slow
RX Vision my fastest yet by quite a margin with a 1 stop on racing mediums, if I could keep consistency 31 laps would be possible.

I started up again on my wheel after taking 6 months off.
I got a PSVR2 recently, so I’ve decided to start on a fresh account and stream my progress, maybe make some videos once I have sport mode going.

When I jump back on later this evening I’ll have to remember to turn my mic on, todays session was full of unrecorded commentary haha.

 
Took the Veyron to Tokyo. Bought the new Audi took it to Sardegna but I kept getting spun by the Al so I quit and switched to the Nissan RC92P.
 
I decided to play around with the new WTC800 race at the Ring. I took my 911 RSR to a very easy win. The AI pits every lap. I may try to see what other cars can do it. I keep looking at the Escudo sitting in the LCD, but just not inspired enough to buy it.
