I did the weekly challenge. I bought 3 Chevelles and a the black Trans Am Firebird from UCD. Got a 4⭐ daily ticket, got the ticket for the Ferrari extra menu. From the tickets I got turbo charger for a 2017 GTR, Lexus VGT, a C8 and a Veyron which I sold
 
I did the Gr.1 WC race at Grand Valley and was struggling with it on Hard difficulty... normally I use the Veyron Gr.1 for these, but I could only manage 6th place. I then (stupidly) bought the McLaren VGT which the AI won the race with, but it was hopeless compared to the Bugatti, so I ended up shifting the difficulty down to Normal and won the race, albeit after a pretty tight race.

I almost was physically ill when I added a wing to the Chevelle, had to take it back off immediately, wow that is an ugly wing

It doesn't look great, but you can also use it as a park bench or a cocktail bar.

The 919 served me pretty well yesterday, at least once I figured out how to get through traffic fast enough to put pressure on the Peugeot to force it to pit on lap 9. That Porsche won't have top-end speed, but through the corners, and especially out of the corners, it will fly. The bonus is there is no fuel saving required.
 
Yesterday grand valley in the GR1 weekly did ten laps none stop in the F1500 only really messed up one lap where I span out and lost about 10 seconds on FM6 the 1500 only really hauls the top cars in on entry and exit of corners top speed wise it's equivalent to others. End result first by 44 seconds. Did not open the tickets weekly challenge seems poor on cash this week.
 
Been doing this today and I think this thread might be able to give me some advice. Been wanting to do a one shot qualifying gig using the Nurburgring where I'd take a random car, fit it with racing mediums, and stuff it through a lap with no retakes, so if I make a mistake or the car, it stays. Here's my question with the replays, what would you prefer to see? :



A race with only that interior view.



A race with only the replay angles.



A race with a mixture of both?
 
Jiminy race at horse thief mile in a pimped Jiminy. Win.
Euro front rear in a TVR Tuscan.
Civic challenge in a ek97 engine swapped and tricked out to 690pp.
Japanese challenge at Alsace in the same Civic.
Took an Aston Martin DB3 to LeMans 700pp race, car is tuned using Docs base tune, terrifically quick if not dangerously twitchy, I burned a rear wet tyre out about half way round lap6 and limped back to the pits, trying to catch the lead Hurican I put a slick on some damp track and went spinning into the gravel and was consumed by the chasing pack, only enough time to catch up to 5th, my worst race at LeMans in a long while.
 
As I was still under the weather, it was a GTP-only day. I did some practice for the GTWS, disappointed that I can't use my liveried car, eventually getting down to 1:54 on the soft tires. Once again, the workout Wheel of Despair was of the 3-star variety, puking out the 2nd-low-showing/lowest-possible 5,000 Cr. on an all-cash Wheel.

Did I mention lately how much I hate Lake Maggiore? No? I HATE it with a capital-E. At least it gave me an opportunity to get rid of the last of my D DR bar to match my Plus account no-bar. It didn't go quite that badly, with an 8th on-track and 6th after penalties.
 
Painted my Chevelle matte white, GTO Ember Mist, Z28 Camaro LeMans Blue, and Boss Mustang in Baby Blue.

Still debating whether I should add go-faster stripes to them.

Yesterday was an OK session in the manic GTWS Nation Races!

I started off in the 11am slot and did qualifying, did ok timing as I had to re-learn this reverse course, Lake maggior is not one of my faves. Qualiy time was ok. OK on to the race and it was a massive clusterfudge, ramming, bumping, it was not good, even the conduct in chat after the race was unacceptable. Some of those guys will get PSN Conduct alerts for sure. I also got the tyre change wrong as I didn't check race info before setting off in this one.

Second time I tried again at 3pm, This was a much better race, focus was there and I got good times in qualifying. I started 11th and managed to finish a strong 6th after some crazy manic driving. Was chasing best I could to get at least 4th or 5th. Was my best positon for the day.

I did one last session at 7pm, last slot, push for Gold lol. This also ended up in a over zealous but crazy race, as alot of the french and danish guys just do ram passes or bum passes as I have mentioned here before in the rank class I was in.

Also just before I finished playing, tried to bash out the Mercedes CLK LM at Spa Master S License Test, almost just 300th off the Gold time. I am edging so close to getting it!

Overall not bad, I am more lookin forward to the last two races at Daytona and Spa/Nurburg. They will be more up my street!

On the GTP account, I had a rather successful TGR Cup race, getting 3rd and, had I been more aggressive, maybe 2nd. The cashless 5-star Wheel of Despair puked up an unwanted/unneeded invite.
 
Picked up the 787B which has completed my Group C collection. Finished the weekly races. Used the Toyota SF-R Racing Concept for the Japanese PP550 event.
Came 2nd at Grand Valley with the R18 TDI. Not far from 1st. Won the McLaren VGT. Absolute pants 🤣🤣

Oh, and handily 'won' another Pagani invitation for the Huayra. Must have won it 3 times already. Still no Bugatti or Lamborghini invitations.

I did the Weekly Challenge Special Event featuring the Honda Civic (EK) Type R at Suzuka, then I bought myself a Jaguar XJR-9 since it happened to be a Special Pick in the LCD. So now I've completed the corresponding Extra Menu, too. Then I did some free practice for the next Nations Cup round, and got a pretty solid time on the lower end of 1:32, using the 787B.

EDIT: I also claimed a free Afeela Prototype.

EDIT2: I also got a five-star ticket from my daily workout, which netted me an MR2 engine, so that's neat!

I bought a 190E and Tuscan Speed Six. I did a swap for 190 E painted it and created a livery. Then I took a Pagani Huayra to LeMans 700 pp race. Got rain around the end of lap 2 into lap 3 it was very heavy but I didn't have any spin outs or accidents like I normally do. I eased up on the gas I was able to go about 80-90 mph during the heavy rain. Usually I don't ease on the gas and it's a spin fest for me. It was kinda funny I didn't have any issues during the main part of the rain but I did go off track a couple times on the lap 6 as the track was drying out. Go figure 🤷‍♂️ Got a 3 ⭐ and got a free 5000 cr

Today I did one Daily Race C, yesterday was a good single slot race in the intial round of the TOYO GAZOO GT Cup:

Logged ontot he game, did a bit of the time trails to get up to speed.
Then waited for the 12pm slot to get into the registering for the GAZOO GT CUP at GT2 league level, for the race at Suzuka.
Did some qualifying laps and not too shabby, started 9th on the grid and managed to finish a strong 5th!
It was a very good race and managed to fight my way back up to S for my SR Rating. Lovely!

Did some more practices and called it a day then, collected points and wait for Round 2 in the Prius - oh joy!!

I am doing my own Championship, using WTC600 and Clubman+ (550&600pp) races.

Take a car i like, tune one setting with SS tires to 600pp and SM tires to 550pp and race these:

WTC600:
Spa
Nürburgring GP
Tokyo South
Grand Valley Highway

Clubman Cup+:
Watkins Glen (600pp)
Tsukuba (550pp)
Tokyo Central (550pp)
High Speed Ring (550pp)

Thats something to do in less than 90 minutes and these are mostly fun and at least a bit challenging races.

Used the Supra '97 yesterday but i have plenty more to come: Maserati GranTurismo, Toyota GR86, Mazda 3, VW Scirocco, Toyota MR2, ...
