Returned to Daily A last night and decided to throw down a qualifying lap. Normally I don't do this as starting mid-pack on lap 1 isn't fun.

Set a mid 1:07, good for top 5,000 globally. Higher than expected.

Get in to the lobby and see that time puts me 2nd. Totally surprised, but then I notice yesterday's shenanigans took me from low-B to high-C. Now it makes sense. Also means that lap 1 turn 1 is going to be the death of me.

And that's not how things played out! 1st place (Canadian with the nickname 'Jeremy Clarkson') had a slow start, giving me 1st. Survived turn 1 but commotion gave Jeremy and I breathing room. Maintained 1st until lap 3 where I went wide on the first hairpin, seeing Jeremy cutting into the apex and having more speed, I stayed out wide and surrendered 1st. Lap 5 and I got nudged out wide on a corner by an Argentine, down to 4th. Final lap, still in 4th but 2nd and 3rd had been trading paint, and sure enough 3rd straight up does a murder on the Argentine, resulting in a 3rd place for me.

I found out the origin of the Toyota 86 GT, it started as a SCION FR-S 2013.

It did not. The Scion was a rebadged Toyota 86GT/Subaru BRZ exclusive to the US market.

It originated as a Toyota concept car called the FT-86 (which you could drive in GT5 and GT6) in 2009 - there was a previous concept called the FT-HS but it wasn't really quite the same thing - before becoming the production-spec car in 2011 (going on sale in early 2012) at various times called GT-86/GT86, 86 GT, and just 86, along with the Subaru BRZ. In fact it was sold as the 86 in Japan, GT86 in Europe, and FT86 in some emerging markets, as well as the Scion FR-S in the USA.


Subaru actually builds them too.

I knew I should have in invested in rain tyres for the 30 minute PP700 race...

A few seconds after this photo was taken, too much pressure with the right foot resulted in an 1,170 degree rotation in slow motion.

Yeah I can remember the 1st time I did that race I didn't realize it would rain there. It didn't happen until lap 4 I was okay until I got around the Porsche curve. It was horrible :lol:. After that I always made sure I had some type rain tire with whatever car i would use. All that said that is a really good pic. If I didn't know any better I would think it an actual race pic!

On my first attempt, it barely rained, and any water buildup was very manageable on RH tyres. So I assumed the game was simply messing with me. Nope. Each time I take on this event, the weather is worse, with TORRENTIAL rain in the most recent.

Climate change I guess 😂

Inspired by @GBO Possum I took out my Daytona Coupe and went to LeMans got the monsoon around lap 2 but I was able to put TC to 5 and keep on the track until I could change tires. Got 10k cr from a 4 ⭐ 🎫

With a 2 lap max fuel range in the stock Jag, I slapped on RS tyres to start, and then did the remaining pit stops on Intermediates.

Not a drop of rain fell of course due to Climate Chaos 😂
 
Managed to do golds on Daytona, Atalanta and Brands Hatch golds on circuit experience..Took quite some time :) Bought Testarossa, I'm sorry I can't buy f40 and f50 but I'm not big on grinding and have to collect at least 20 mil for ferrari for platinum... I was thinking of setting up Daytona AFK but honestly I'm to lazy for that too 😆

If you don't like grinding, you are doing yourself a disservice by not setting up the Daytona AFK. It takes about 10 minutes to setup, and then that's it. You never have to do it again. Once it's set up you can get around 700k every 30 minutes or so while you watch a TV show/browse Youtube/whatever... It's worth the initial setup time.

I don't see why it wouldn't. Someone else will have to confirm, as I could give two $#%@ about trophies. 🤷‍♂️ :lol: I have never understood the point of them. To each their own.
 
I did the VGT Menu book with the Suzuki because, of course, it's the most affordable of the lot. I do enjoy the idea of the VGT cars and be able to drive objects of pure design without the constraints that rule car development and manufacturing in the real world, whether engineering limitations, or legal or marketing concerns.

That being said, if the idea is to promote car design awareness, they should be cheaper or available as rewards.

I also need to figure out fuel maps in order to get a podium in the daily race.
 
Redid the 30 minute race at Le Mans with a different strategy which was a load of fun.

Given the unpredictable weather in this event, I fitted Intermediate tires and went for a car with as much power as possible plus minimized aero downforce (to dominate with straight line speed) and tweaked the PP to fit just under 700.

To be clear, I was then limited to Intermediates for the entire race, rain or shine.

I guessed that fuel and tires might almost last two laps. ✅

Twice I ran out of fuel just before the pit entry and the tires were getting to be seriously squirrelly.

I have a group of cars that will get 2 laps at FM6 but they are stupid fast so I can make up for the time lost in the pits. I have never tried them with inters so that's something I may need to do.
