Lucky you. I hated it, horrible race. Don't like the track backwards, especially trying to get round the uphill hairpins with a controller, just not enough steering lock. In the end I just stuck a turbo on the Peugeot 205 and bashed everyone out the way.
Don't like any of the other regular races and don't need the money or car ticket, so looks like a week just doing the special event.

It looks like an interesting week to me, so I'll give it a double shot: first time letting Kudos pick the cars, and then it'll be the randomizer once it updates. Also doing this since I'm on vacation finally and definitely have more time to play, so why not.
So here is what Kudos says:
Will go randomizer as soon as I'm done with this first series!
So here is what Kudos says:
- Silvia Sisters: Silvia K's S14 Type S '94
- Japanese FR 450: MX-5 NR-A
- Porsche 356 Special: duh
- Neo-Classic: R92CP
- World Rally Challenge: Audi Sport Quattro S1

Ok week.
That neo-classic is always hard.
The rally race meh.
The other 3 are ok.
As for the rewards.
Parts tickets are always.💩
Cars ticket anything less then a p1 or fxx-k as a reward and its a 💩 from me.

Not enjoying them this week - Fisherman's again! Tried a couple of times and gave up, thoroughly frustrating. Many posters have said the new physics is great for rally, I find the opposite. So just did three to get two prizes, 100k and 200k, which is lovely, thanks!
Used the Ferrari VGT for an easy win at Interlagos and that was enjoyable!

The randomiser is finally updated and supports update v1.49! Enjoy.
As an apology for making you all wait so long, here's an extra report I built while updating it - containing every PP change from v1.48 to v1.49 listed in spreadsheet form.

Thank you so much for such a great tool and - at least on my part - don't ever think of "apologizing" for skipping a week of a voluntary work you are doing instead of PD which should just learn and implement features like this! Your randomizer is on par with @ddm 's online dealership which is often the first thing I check in the morning for the content it gives to us players!

It feels like after all the new stuff the update brought things start to relax now and I kind a like to slowly return to 'business as usual' ...
Here's what Nagano's
randomizer came up with :
They're all race-ready in my garage !

Great, another week where we all get "the shaft".
That should please @smoothbore12
Plus, as I've just reached 20 years on GTPlanet, I decided it was time to go premium. Almost been around as long as @Jordan and @Famine

Was a little surprised to see the Gr.B race at Eiger again, but then I realised that's just because I raced it last week when it released. Fun combo, I love those cars on road courses because they move around a bunch. Neo Classic was pretty difficult previously, although it seems a lot of the AI go off at the last corner and run around multiple laps with completely worn left fronts so it is a lot easier than before. Ran the Escudo and would've won the first time out if it wasn't for the jumpscare of a 787B respawning on the racing line literally right in front of me. Other 3 races were alright, 356 one-make at Goodwood makes a lot of sense to do especially if you run a retro livery, not that I had one so I used my engine swapped car instead.

Is this the first time that two races with wear are included in the same set of challenges? I don't seem to recall any previous example

Got shafted... carbon shaft for Toyota GR86 RZ '21, worth the enormous amount of 4.5k 💩 💩 💩
The first guy on the Porsche was behaving very strangely : while I was climbing the mobile chicanes, I was constantly gaining time, anywhere on the track, once I arrived behind him he engaged nitro, gaining more than a second on the back-end "straight", after that he was waiting for me after the starting line, I passed him very easily, then on the back straight he came back as a rocket again, and it's been like this each lap til the end.
For Silvia Sisters I used my slightly tuned Silvia K's Type S (S14) '94, but it was not enough, I was smashed on every acceleration, and the race was too short to make it all back in corners, ended up 5. So I went back with my quite tuned Silvia spec-R Aero (S15) '02 and won with zero difficulty.
Used the low powered Silvia at Autopolis and won with ease.

Tried the Escudo but it's horrible with my current setup on 1.49. Tried a lot but it keeps twisting around like crazy. Any chance you can share your setup?Was a little surprised to see the Gr.B race at Eiger again, but then I realised that's just because I raced it last week when it released.

I took a crack at these earlier this morning (normal difficulty)...
Tsukuba - Nissan Silvia K's Dia Selection (S13) '90 - This took a couple tries. On the first, besides the aero that I'd added for aesthetics, I only upgraded the tires to SS, which brought the car just over 500PP. It was still too slow to gain on the leaders. On the second, I added all the 'sport' level enhancements (computer, air filter, brakes, suspension, etc). That brought the PP up to ~530. That at least made the car competitive. I finished P2, which was good enough for the first ticket.
Autopolis - Toyota 86 GT '15 - The only changes I made to the car were the aero bits, just to give it a sportier look. I was a little concerned going into the second lap in P2 that I might not be able to close the 10-second gap to the lead car, but the rubber-banding kicked in and I was able to take the win.
Goodwood - Porsche A/1500 GS GT Carrera Speedster '58 - I'm not sure if I've made any modifications to the car when I used it before. Regardless, it was on-pace with most of the other cars here, which made for a fun race. Finished in P2, way behind the lead car. Good enough for the second ticket.
The parts ticket gave me the shaft -- figuratively and literally -- for the Urus. We'll see what comes from the car ticket when I get it.

It happens from time to time - although I've not heard of it affecting the third reward only.
The only known cause is changing your console's system clock or time zone. It's not the only cause, but it's the only one that guarantees you'll see this issue.
Whether you've done that or not, it should return to normal next week.

I'm seriously losing interest in this game now.
I accepted 2nd place in the first race, won the second race 2nd in the third race won the fourth race and then quit out of the last one because there nothing in this game I hate more than reverse tracks.
I tried again. With the Impreza. I fitted medium race tyres and did a 1:14 on the first lap. The AI did a 1:11. I concentrated on learning the track and finished last. After some consideration, I chose the Ford Focus grb car. I fitted medium tyres as I knew these will last 6 laps. My first lap was a 1:09. I took the lead in the first stint and dropped to sixth after the pitstop. I was able to pass all the cars ahead of me finally taking the lead from an apparently none stop NSX.
I've now been interested in the game again by an @praiano63 tune for the TS020 which I used in the ten lap 900PP Le Mans race for an easy win. Six laps at fuel six is good. I then took this car with max Weight and a severely Nerfed engine to the Le Mans rain race for another easy win. I truly hate what they've done to the rain tyre. I can only do two laps on them. If I try for three they turn red and I've got no sodding grip. Driving on the wet parts of the track don't protect the tyres either.
