Second try on Mission Challenge 8-8, that time with my McLaren F1 GTR - BMW (Kokusai Kaihatsu UK Racing) 1995
This time I go calmly even if it means being too slow on some parts of the track, better slow on the aslphalt than lawnmowing !
First lap neat, ended 2nd just behind number one, passed him calmly at the half of second lap and stayed in front. Small 180 still, and my advance of 8s became 1s when we entered the last straight.
As I've had modified my gearing, I was able to reach 300km/h, which gave me a few seconds more by the time we reached the end of the 2nd lap.
Pitted and changed my tyres that were okayish but needed reinforced vigilance.
Had an issue when fueling, when I wanted to stop with 2+ laps of fuel, the stop button did not work, apparently the arrow wandered during the refueling and when I hit the button it did nothing, first time I have this issue, and not the good time !
Lost 2-3s to understand what was happening and exited the pits in 6th. Passed most of them before the end of the speed track and only the number one in front of me. I used him as a guide and passed him when I felt comfortable doing so. On some parts he was gaining ground but overall I was able to keep up.
After that, as it was the last laps, my objective was to be fluid and cautious. I was watching the time but he was loosing ground gradually so I did not push more, even been really slow in the corners I use to bottle.
Finished 13s before n°2 which means... I got the gold !!! 🤩 and gold on all Mission Challene too.
Which means two rewards, a car, and the bronze trophy "Rival Crusher" 😎
As a reward for golding MC, I received this car :
Aston Martin ASTON MARTIN VULCAN 2016 - 3.3M Cr. 😍
Then came the DWG, as I did +100km on the Nurb.
On the wheel today :
- Audi VISION GRAN TURISMO - 1M Cr.
- BMW Z4 GT3 2011 - 450k Cr. (dupe x3)
- Honda NSX GR.4 - 350k Cr. (dupe)
- Subaru WRX STI TYPES 2014 - 41k Cr.
Total wheel value : 1M840k Cr.
Of course I got the Subaru... at least it is not a dupe 😏
Wheel for MC gold + DWG wheel :
I wonder what I will do next. Could be the right moment to try to get gold at circuit experience on the Nordschleife, as I've been practicing the track those days... And I'll have to gold Le Mans also. Two more cars and a trophy at reach maybe ?
I also have to finish the VGT+ Trophy, but there is no big challenge there. At least it is a training for very fast cars.
Still have to do in GT League:
- Amateur :
- SF19 event
- Pro :
- F1500 Championship (no F1500 in my garage)
- Mercedes AMG Grand Prix
- Group 1 Cup (now that I trained with the Porsche 919... might be easier to tackle)
- X2014 Nations Cup (still not owning the car needed)
- Endurance (all events)
Don't have the Lewis Hamilton DLC. Not sure I will take it.
6 trophies left to get platinum... but that won't be easy... the next 2 may be, but the others are the online ones and the level 50 trophy...
