For me, it is finally winning the Nascar race at High Speed Ring. The reason being that I hadn't noticed that the ovals are the only ones with 70% power and HSR and Willow Springs can have 100%...spent ages trying to win at HSR with 70% power and wondering why the cars kept accelerating away from me (though somehow I won Willow with 70%)....after looking at some of the tuning threads I realised the power mistake. Once I set the power to 100% I won the event first try easily!
Getting into the Top 1000 times on the Mario Andretti Hudson Seasonal (even if only temporarily). For some that is no big deal but I am not very good at the game so getting that high was pretty good for me

Finally reigning in the DeltaWing, and using it to thrash 650-700pp online rooms. Once you can get it to handle, it's almost unstoppable. It was one of my first big purchases, and I couldn't drive it worth a d***. After hours of tinkering, it's not only driveable, it's a proper beast. I love the challenge of tuning something that unruly, and the payoff when you finally get it right.
2 online laps on a completely pitch black Nürburgring with my G27 wheel with all aids off, including ABS & with heavy damage on. Inches from disaster in every corner. It was very immersive.
Most satifying - tuning a difficult car, winning races by less than a second.
Least satifying - winning a race with more than a 4-5 second lead. (overpowered car or bad AI/competition)
Raced Willow Springs at night, at night IRL with the blinds closed and the lights off. Its like I was staring at a TV that was turned off for a good 20 minutes. Does the moon only exist in the lunar missions PD? LOL they can map star constellations, but the moon can't rise and illuminate the track.
Blasting an AI vehicle into Pit Lane after it tried to pit me (not one, but three freakin times). We were coming around a turn, the AI took a swipe at me for the third time. I countered and forced the AI car into Pit Lane. It was pretty funny. I had a very nice feeling of satisfaction after that
I'd love to, but I work 3 jobs 7 days a week to support the hobbies, so I only get to play when the moons align. Slim to no chance of me making a set time every week, I don't even get to eat 3 meals most days.
If you have an un-official get-togethers or practices, feel free to send me an invite on PSN.
For me, the most satisfying thing so far was complete with gold the Goodwood hillclimb with the X2011... I'm really bad with that car, too fast for my reflexes, I suposse that the time established for gold is very "rookie friendly" hahaha because I did it.

There's also a weekly time trial that you can do whenever you have the time.
Here's the section on the WRS (https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/board/gtp-weekly-race-series-time-trials.117/) with all the info on running the qualifier, joining and such. None of the events are participation required so you do the ones you want or the ones you have time for, no stress, real life comes first.
it was getting gold the Goodwill redbull challenge but last night i just did the Nascar cup in A and man that was intense.. so much fun too, won indy by .022
Hadn't even thought to look at the power settings.
It was very immersive.
