Farmed credits at Sardegna and La Sarthe. Then spent time creating a livery for the Camaro RM.

With the cancellation of the first NLS1 race at the Nurburgring due to snowfall!!!!, I had plenty of time for my beloved track.
I searched, found and selected (finally) the liveries for 2026 24hrs Nurburgring race (those who have allready revealed)
It was so painful searched that i only set up the race and saved for another day.....
The custom races set up is so hard and time consuming that where after you have finished this process you have no energy to do the race you have set up.
P.S. i updated my SUV custom race...

Causing chaos BEFORE turn 1 is an interesting strategy! Thanks for sharing this idea 😂

It certainly made the race more interesting, as I took pole by over 7 seconds 😅

That's the first time I've ever accidentally put it into R on the grid though...
 
Wasn't really a 'today' discovery, more of a 'what I learned over the week' kinda thing...

First I've spent time on the 'Ring in reverse. This is NOT simply running what you know in a different direction. It is, IMHO, a brand new track. Nothing looks the same, drives the same or flows similarly. It's freakin' amazing. Didn't bother with races as I didn't have that kind of confidence (yet), was just lost in mile after mile of awesome.

I'd argue that, from the top of the mountain (section before entering big carousel) down through the bottom is some of the most exhilarating tarmac this game has to offer. Hitting the hard left from almost 180 is something else.

If you haven't run it and/or have dismissed it as not worth it, you're missing out, lol. 👍

:cheers:
 
I survived and won Dragon Trail - Seaside aboard my X2019 after tweaking the ride height because its curbs are murderous. I even had a big spin midway through the race right before the straight when I was running in second place. That dropped me to seventh place, but I recovered and caught Miyazono on the last lap right before the "bus station". 190,000 cr for the win and a 5-star roulette ticket that got me 500,000 cr.
 
Took the RX-7 out for a spin for the first time today and absolutely loved it. The FD RX-7 has always been one of my favorite cars (and car designs) but I‘m also really impressed with its handling: It‘s so agile and nimble, kinda reminds me of a bigger and more powerful MX-5 in the best possible way.

I haven’t been getting much time in the seat over the last 6 months and my driver rating reflected that, dropping like a large stone.

Today however, was the perfect storm.
  • The wife was gone all day
  • I’m very comfortable at Le Mans
  • I qualified well today, so I was always starting near the top
  • Wide range of qualifying times from top to bottom.
I ended up driving 541 miles over a 5 hour period and raised my DR from a low D to a mid C.
I’m not a natural, but when I practice, I can compete as a mid B. Not quite there yet but it was a good start.

Oh, that was pretty funny.
 
I made a Style of the Scherer Sport PHX Audi (from here) - probably the longest I've spent on a livery, but it was quite good fun figuring out how to do certain things. The hardest bit (apart from the driver names!) was getting the aero elements on the front painted yellow on top but the rest remaining black/CF...

took the new Camaro to LeMans - damn, this car drinks petrol like a fish.

I was even on FM 6 and I had to stop at the end of every second lap to refuel. still won by almost two minutes.

I copied your idea, and had a bash - I did a 'Grello' though... finishing 1st but coming 2nd thanks to a penalty applied after the race :ouch:

I threw away the win through my own stupidity / not paying attention in the pits... I pitted on laps 2/4/6, but didn't realise that I should have stopped refueling as I only needed one lap of fuel on my final stop, not two... that said, it meant I could do the final lap on FM1, which was enough to catch and pass Haywood's Lamborghini on the last chicane (albeit a wee bit dirtily), but I pushed too hard in the final sections and ran wide coming out of the Porsche curves and got handed a 1.5s penalty, which cost me the win...

Still, it was a fun race, and I think I will try again with it soon.
 
I made a custom season tool and a race manager meta game. I'll share it when it's ready.

It will send you emails and stuff so there's life. Your team manger will give you goals to achieve. There's also persistence across seasons and your team mates will remember you. sometimes fondly, sometimes not so much.

Still early days.

Whoops. Better luck next time
 
Took the Camaro RM to Sardegna for my daily credits runs. That thing is thirsty! 4 pit stops for fuel and tires on a 15 lap race and barely have some left in the tank at the finish line on FM6 right from the start. Glad I don't have to pay for fuel with the current gas prices 😂
Still won, but not comfortably.
