So I came back home and started my weeklies today after work.
1) Japanese FR 450 @ High Speed Ring Reverse
The memories this track always gives me are incredible, I used to play all the time on it back on GT1 when I was a little kid. Kudos sent me here with the Skyline 2000GT-R Kenmeri, I gave it a nice MNP paintjob and some Enkei wheels and hit the track as it was (388pp), but couldn't catch up with the RX-7 and also got deleted by the 300ZX. So I souped it up a little bit with CS tires, exhaust, filter and headers and gave it another go (420pp)...except this time there was no 300ZX and I won with ease. CRB too!
Parts ticket gave me a Bore Up S for the TT 3.2 Quattro, useless ticket as usual.
2) Lightweight K Cup @ Tokyo Expressway South
Ah, this was a fun one. Kudos sent me here with the Jimny XC and I didn't want to buy a new one, so I de-tuned my swapped 492pp one. And I had to de-tune it a LOT since the game has me using CS tires for this race. But I eventually brought it back under requirements and tackled the race, such fun! As soon as I realized how much grip I actually had available (it still had Praiano suspensions and gearbox) what started as somewhat challenging became great fun. Fraga's Cappuccino was destroying me on the straights but my superior grip made up for that anywhere else. Managed to overtake him on the beginning of the final lap, and kept it back there until the end. CRB again.
3) Volvo V40 Special @ Red Bull Ring
The car of choice is obvious this time, I kept it stock and just added some GT Auto parts; Rebel Blue was nice, but I wanted some more Polestar-ish colour and so painted it in Rapid Blue with black roof combination, I have to say I love how it looks. Race was tough, only managed to overtake the leader at the very end of the last lap and over the race I've had a couple run-ins with the AI. Was fun, but I feel I didn't manage to get everything out of that Volvo, it has some potential indeed.
Got the 150k ticket as well, daily marathon was some trash 3* which gave me a racing exhaust for the Toyota 86 restyling (is the game actually trying to tell me something?).
I tried taking on the Ring in the R5 Turbo, but it's a tough one with Gallo and his cheat Alfa running away and the R5 not being that easy to handle. But I'll keep on trying and won't give up!
