Done for the week!

Randomizer said I had to use the Delta, but my only Delta is a 700pp NISMO swap. Oops, race was over at turn 3 so might as well have some fun, right?

The stock Dandelion Yellow EVO VIII makes a comeback for this event. Fun stuff even though I've had a Max Verstappen moment at the hairpin on the last lap. Somehow still got CRB, go figure.

Still hadn't won RBR in the Hypercars for some reason, so the trusty 918 Spyder in the Weissach Package made sure to have that fixed. A bit of a Spa 2000 moment for that XJ220 there. Another CRB.

And finally for The World Group C. Joined in with the R92CP on RM with the Death Star Turbo, was leading about halfway through the race but had two massive spins always at the same spot, my usual attention problems. The 962C in the Advan livery made sure to capitalize on those but still managed to pass it right at the end for a nice W. The top prize 6* ticket gave me a million so I'm happy.

Also, completely unrelated, I realized only today that it is still possible to import old GT Sport liveries even though PD and Sony said no back then, so I managed to save my old Hyundai Coupe F2 kit car livery and so I'm super happy.

Hopefully they’ll do a 8-10 lapper at Daytona for the 24hr race next week.

I did the last 3 races. I started out with my main 962 but since the physics update it drives terrible. So I used another 962 which handled much better but I didn't like the pace. So since there no fuel usage I went with the Hyundai VGT since it has no use in other races. Won very easily even with crap racing.
Next I used the Valkyrie at the HyperCar race then I finished the night with the Aston Martin VGT at Tokyo. The 1st time I did race long time ago I got 2nd I was able to get 1st this time. I will post pics when I finish the last 2 races

Had a busy busy weekend with almost no time for racing but I'm through now. And here we go :

Race 1 - Renault R4 GTL '85 ( 388 PP )
Since "The Fast & The Furious" I know that NOS can be Papa's little helper against faster cars. And I used it shamelessly against C. Lopez at the Sardegna road track B.

Race 2 - Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R '70 ( engine-swapped / 579 PP )
What NOS is for the old Renault a swapped engine is for the old Nissan. She's not an easy-to handle car so I wasn't sure about using it at a twisty track like Autopolis ... but everything went fine.

Race 3 - De Tomaso Mangusta '69 ( 704 PP )
The Mangusta is famous for its light nose and for being extremely loud. Both is perfectly modeled by PD. Had a hard time keeping the Valkyrie in check but hey, Spielberg is where the fun is !

Race 4 - Lamborghini Gallardo '08 ( 599 PP )
In a first attempt I tried to compete with my beloved Ferrari Dino around Tokyo but she didn't quite cut it. The Gallardo did, despite some weird understeer behavior I don't have an explanation for yet.

Race 5 - Nissan R92CP '92 ( 905 PP )
Went all in right from the start, full throttle through Eau Rouge and 225 mph up Kemmel Straight. The big turbo on RS tires made mincemeat of the Spa competition.

My goal for next week is receiving the CRB against madman Beauvois in his Valkyrie ...

CU, Joe
