pitting at the right time before the heavier rains for rain tires come and the track gets drier for dry tires can make a difference at spa
For sure, in my attempt yesterday I probably should have pitted for inters a lap earlier than I did.

My biggest issue was just controlling the car in that technical section after the straight. After practicing time trials against a ghost I was able to cut a good 7 second off my lap time by pushing it more there so I think I'll have a better shot today.
 
After countless hours of just faffing about, I'm now making a concerted effort to 100% everything. Last night I did the final two circuit experiences (Fisherman's Ranch, surprisingly easy, and Tokyo Central, an absolute arse), all the music rallies (bit pointless really) and the final couple of license tests. All I have left now is to pootle my way through the remaining world circuit events, although that does include practically every chilli race. Hoping they're not too painful!

I decided to take a number of different old muscle cars to various rally courses (dirt and snow) and try to put together some stylish looking laps. Not as much about lap times as it was about trying to string together sectors in as pleasant a way (aesthetically) as I can. Let's be honest, these are muscle cars... They're heavy front engine rear wheel drive torque monsters. They're not exactly the ideal choice for GT7's rally circuits.... but that's half the fun. ;)

For starters we have a 1951 Ford Custom Rat Rod (I told you these were unusual choices). This is a wild lap (lap and a half really). It wasn't my fastest lap by any stretch (it was my 4th actually...lol) but it certainly has the most dynamic replay... so here we are.



Next, I took an old beat up retired TV icon out to the mountains of Canada for some fun in the snow. These old boats really are ducks out of water in this environment, but I still managed to put together a smooth lap. It's like doing ballet in army boots.

Lastly, I took an old rusty Dodge Super Bee out to Fisherman's Ranch for some yumps. :cool:

I had a great time with this, it must be said. I'm certainly going to give the rest of the old American cars a go in the near future.

I did some shopping...

Today I finished an extra menu book by buying 2 Nissan Silvia's from the UCD.

Placed 3rd in a Nissan Skyline race on Deep Forest Raceway using the Nismo 400R. 5 laps, CRB. Love driving the 400R, bought 2 more colors 2 weeks ago. Waiting for a new one popping up in the LCD.

Raced Le Mans 700 twice using the Ferrari 458 Italia Gr 3. Messed up the first race by pitting early, taking a gamble on intermediates when the rain was coming. Leaving the pits, the showers hit... for like 10 seconds, after which the track dried up completely and I was forced to pit again. Ended 10th place, 30 seconds behind.

Took first place on my second attempt, CRB aswell for a nice 825,000.
 
Since some months I'm doing my own races thanks to Sophy and setting the cars or having differents units with other liveries.

Today I did a JGTC GT500 race at suzuka and yesterday some laps and Nurburgring Nordschleife with Group C.



But My best choices are Lemans with 60s prototypes (GT40, P3/5, 917, etc) and 50s with the Maserati A6GCS/53, Aston DB3s and the Jaguar D-type.
With the VR2 its just thriling

Redid the weekly Kei car race on the 'Ring yet again with a friend observing in SharePlay, listening to the lashing rain squalls about 3 minutes in via headphones. The nature sounds are SO realistic and the lighting progression is gorgeous.
