KPrime again to choose me something different:
Japanese FR Challenge 450 - Toyota Supra 3.0GT Turbo A '88 - Haven't actually driven mine (even since winning it in the early days) so this will be a good chance to actually finally use it!
Lightweight K-Cup - Suzuki Jimny XC '18 - Mine is massively OP, so might buy a new one and tune it up lightly.
Volvo V40 T5 R-Design One-Make - I wonder... 🤔 - In that lovely Rebel Blue, of course!
European Clubman Cup 600 - Porsche 911 GT3 (996) '01 - Might buy a fresh one and run it near stock.
World Touring Car 900 - Porsche 919 Hybrid '16 - A good excuse to pull out my recently made Vaillant livery and give it a run.
Liking the fact they've given us 6* parts and car again - fingers crossed the 6* car will be another I don't have, or a valuable one. Had the Porsche VGT Roadster last week, which was on my list of "To Buy for Completion" so that saved me a cool million.
Had some time this morning so gave these races a go.
The Supra at High Speed Ring in completely stock form was more than enough to manage a win. Not by miles, but a CRB and easy win nonetheless.
I decided to just use the Jimny I already had - seeing as it was just under 400PP. The win didn't come easy, seeing as most of the AI were faster in a straight line and got past me in the straights. But I kept it clean and won with another CRB.
Then a newbie, in the Volvo at Red Bull Ring. Loved driving this thing in cockpit view, getting into the lead on the last lap and bagging a third CRB in a row. The payout for this is decent! I'll definitely give this a few more tries, maybe even buy a second V40 and give it a light tuning.
I bought a fresh new 996 GT3 for the Nordschliefe and gave it a few parts to bring it just under 600PP on SS tyres. Also removed the rear wing for that GT3 touring vibe (in green on gold BBS LM alloys...). With the AI driving up the middle of the tight track I couldn't bank a CRB here, and I couldn't manage to catch up to the Giulia GTAm who finished 18s clear in front. But it was a lovely drive and I think I'll have another go tonight.
Final race was a complete nightmare. I started off trying to get a clear couple laps but AI decisions meant I restarted twice. On the third attempt I decided if I had the same issue I'd just keep running and ignore trying for a CRB. Halfway through that race (lap 6 actually) and one of the Raybrig NSX's decided to tap my rear quarter on the run down to the final chicane and send me spinning into the grass. Returning to the track I got smashed by another car (no idea which one) and found myself all the way back in 18th! I lost 26s on that lap alone!! So I decided to just go balls out for the win... Missed out by 3s to the GT-R '16 on the final lap, but made up so much time driving super aggressively and just bashing cars out of the way to vent some frustration! Not sure I'll bother running that combo again for a while!
Parts ticket gave me a bore up for the Supra RZ '19 (to go with the shaft I got for it last week) and car ticket gave me a Lexus RC F Gr.2, so I'll keep that ticket and re-roll at the next update and hope for something better!
