Mt. Panorama.

Ohhhh god 😵‍💫

This is going to be a long week.

And beware the black Corvette C8 who has 700+hp, can do 214mph / 340kph, but can't go around corners.

The Randomizer has a true love for my SCPD Charger Hellcat it seems, she always shows up for American Clubman Cup events. As always the 155 is still the only pick for DTM so I'll just run it with both the Alfa and the E30, and we'll see about anything else.

I ran 3 of the races yesterday and was rewarded with a 4* daily ticket which gifted me... a 2m VW ID-R!

No 10 lap Gr2 misery in sight! LFG!

The arrogance of PD creating a new race every week and then taking it away is disheartening

Reasonable week, wasn't that keen on the DTM race like usual but managed with RS and by doing unspeakable things to the final chicane for a few laps, really would love to be able to get realistic specs on the 190 Evo II. The two Clubman Cup races were fun, both on good tracks and the Bathurst race had a lovely time of day change, just watch out for the stupidly fast C8 Corvette if you're in something way below the PP limit, AI is so slow across the mountain it's pretty easy to win otherwise. Evo meeting was pretty easy around 600 PP, think it might be difficult in a stock road car though.

Cars for the week:

Evo meeting was pretty easy around 600 PP, think it might be difficult in a stock road car though.

Interesting. I just tried the Evo 4 at a little under 600 PP (I think 586 or so) and finished a fairly sorry 7th, a little over 2s behind the leader. And that was with rather gratuitous abuse of the first chicane at the end of lap 2...

Figured it would be Spa. Giving the DTM Weekly Challenge a nice send-off.

My simple report:

Sunday Cup @ Lago Maggiore: Toyota MR2 (an overkill, but it was an undriven car in my collection. So...)
Euro Clubman 600 @ Alsace: Alfa Romeo 8C
Evo Meeting @ Monza: Evo IX
American Clubman 700 @ Mount Panorama: Corvette C4 ZR1 '89 (swapp). This event is one of my favorite in the whole game.
DTM weekly special @ Spa: The same Vette from American Clubman 700.

My 6 stars ticket gave me a Porsche 919 Gr1 which I could sell for a 1,5M, but I decided to keep it. If I'm not mistaken, that's the 2nd or 3rd time the game gives me this car.

Everything was done on easy mode as I'm leaning much more to the "enjoying the drive" side of things rather than "looking for a challenge" gaming mindset.

I got four of these done earlier this morning (normal difficulty).

Lago Maggiore - Mercedes S Barker Tourer '29 - I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the car drove pretty much like any other ordinary car. I didn't make any modifications to it. Took the lead in the final corner. Fun race. First ticket obtained.

Alsace Village - Porsche 911 Carrera RS (964) '92 - It's been a while since I've driven this track, so it took a few laps to refresh my memory and get used to the car. The only modifications to the car were SS tires and some aero. I was able to take the lead in the final lap. Good fun. Second check mark checked.

Monza - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution II GSR '95 - I made an initial attempt at this with only a tire upgrade (SS). It wasn't going to work. At the end of the second lap, I was still fighting over P11. I bailed and went to the tuning shop for all the sport-level mods. That gave the car just enough umph to make the race competitive. I took the lead in the final corner. Good times. Second ticket obtained.

Bathurst - Garage RCR Civic - Even after upgrading the tires to SS, the car was well below the suggested PP of 700, so I wasn't expecting a win here, but I was still hopeful for a top-3 finish. The car was pretty good going up and along the mountain, but no so great on the long straight back down, where it was topping out at 245km/h in fifth gear. It could really use a sixth gear. As far as the race goes, I was pretty easily able to climb my way to P2. The lead stayed way out reach. I finished 10 seconds behind Serrano, and 37 seconds ahead of P3. Good enough for the fourth check mark, though.

Now all that's left is the DTM race. Looking forward to it.
