I won a B58 on a 4-star roulette ticket and I noticed it could be placed in the E30 Sport Evo. It's now a black widebody example on BBS and with gold trim, in a JPS style.
 
Finished the weeklies, and then off to Le Mans for 30 minutes in my new favorite wheels for this event. The BAC Mono with engine swapped, IM tyres fitted and then reduce the power to meet the PP700 limit.

The livery was inspired by a photo on the BAC website. If you like it, take it and modify as it pleases you.

What did I do today ?... I stuck a proverbial knife into my heart today. That's what I did.

I was short three cars for the new extra Menus so OF COURSE they were for sale today - so I had to spend 23 MILLION FREAKING CREDITS on the Alfa Romeo 8C and the Maserati A6GCS ( along with the Mazda Eunos Roadster ) UGGGGHHHH .....

I don't understand why people chase the cars for these menus. Like, if I have the car, or if the car is super cheap, sure, but the tickets pay out a max of $1 credits or some car that's barely worth that amount. The dollars and cents of it makes it irrational.

Only three of the extra menus are really worth actively doing. The one that gives NSX Gr.B, the one that gives Fugu Z, and the Jaguar one. Value-wise the Jaguar is best - 3.8 million Cr. to spend for a car that is worth 6 million.


Looking at the menus really seems like multiple ideas for rewards are used. I wish polyphony would have stayed consistent with the vanilla campaign and make the rewards for all extra menus a car. Same goes for bonus menu books and now the seasonal menu books, which don't look like anything more than a glorified extra menu. I was really hoping seasonal menu book would been way to repeat vanilla campaign menu books or entirely new menu books setup in a way like vanilla campaign menus, but it was just recycled extra menu but with new name. :nervous:
 
Golds on the Yas Marina and CGV circuit experiences. Hate Eiger in any direction so that one can stay a silver forever.

Won a few of the early Power Pack races. Good fun racing, but I haven’t done the rally or ice racing yet and not looking forward to them.

Though the Espace F1 doesn't fit neatly into any class—which makes perfect sense—its PP is more than enough to throw it into the mix against GT3 machinery in those 800 PP Touring Cups. For me, that wasn't a huge deal; I've already logged over a hundred laps on my dream ride across all sorts of tracks. But any extra excuse to wheel it out for game progression? That's just a bonus.

The Yas Marina race wasn't a total beast, thanks to the Espace absolutely smoking the GT3 cars on the straights. Where the "bus" falls short is in the chicanes and corners. Still, with just one pit for fresh rubber, we overhauled the leading GT-R GT3 by mid-last lap. Both stints on medium racing compounds, no fuel-saving nonsense.

Yas Marina is tailor-made for unleashing the Espace F1's traits and potential. In the replay, you can see it fighting for grip on those slick high curbs and weight transfers—itching to slide off but clawing back onto the asphalt with awkward little hops. Straight out of that classic original promo video with Alain Prost at the wheel. I spotted that signature behavior on other circuits afterward, too.

Later, I tried the Yas strategy in an 800 PP showdown at Catalunya, but beyond fuel management, I had to nurse some brutal wear on the left front tire—and victory slipped away. Too few straights, way too many mid-speed complexes.

PD delivers, as always 🤘

Been trying to get gold on CGV full lap CE all day. Literally all day.

That Mercedes is complete dog doodoo. 10 percent gas? Spin out. 5? Spin out. Look at it the wrong way? Spin out. :mad:
It's like rear tyres are driving on ice while the front tyres are on deep sand. Very unbalanced car, and with like most of CEs I'm stuck driving a total poo-box GT3 car.

I'm surprised whoever races that car IRL has not crashed spun out into a wall and died yet. :scared:

I was driving the Megane Trophy race car and noticed that you can see the reflection of your helmet in the digital display on the dash. Cool little detail.

I also won a million credits on a roulette ticket- couldn't believe my eyes. Was slightly disappointed that it wasn't a muffler for a Silvia

Yesterday was a some special day. I gone all in and spent my 70 millions into the cars I still don't own those and are all in brand Central. It actually bought me more than I thought. Literally bought almost all cars that "matters", except around 12 vgt cars. Gonna grind hard this upcoming days to get those out of the way. I'm not huge fan of vgt specially when it doesn't even have interiors, but some are cool though, and I will never forget the lm55 vgt that carried me early when I was poor and getting my hand in the game.
 
Not played GT7 in about 6 months. Fired it up today to find my collector score instantly jump to 70.
Took a few tries but got all golds on the CGV track circuit experience. The full lap probably took about 12 goes though. I found brake bias on +3 to be most balanced for that car, and TC on 3 also.
Also realised how badly I want to upgrade from my T300 and TLCM. Sure they both got me to A+ rank online but this game really maxes out the capabilities of the motor and I find myself wanting more power. FFB strength on 3 feels too weak but 4 introduces clipping depending on the car. I'll probably sell my whole rig and start over with an RS50 in the new year.
 
Not sure what I'll do first since the Spec III update's arrival, seems like there's a lot, yeah! I think I'll start with the two time trials that expire this Thursday, then perhaps do the Circuit Experience for both new circuits.
 
I raised my collector's level from 42 to 45 while completing the Alpine, SEMA, and Lexus menus. For the daily mileage I did a 600 pp 2-lap race at Nordschleife = 3-star ticket = 10,000 cr.
 
I took the Espace to Lagua Seca, Road Atlanta & GCV. I really like that car! Next I took a stock 296 to Laguna Seca and Yas Marina. Another great car! I need to do customizing and tuning on it.
