@ROCKET JOE great to hear about someone actually doing something to fight the grind, rather than moan about it.
It's true, these DTM (and other) Special Events are a great solution to GT7 burnout. Maybe that's why PD didn't include them in the game early on...
Because we'd be sick to death of them by now.

Did more of the fun DTM. Won easily with the 155. Only 7th with this "new" EVO which I kept NA compared to my other one that won which is TC.

A quick note for randomiser users: I've spent my morning this morning refactoring the back end code to make supporting new car/track/event content easier for me.
You shouldn't notice anything different while using it, but it was a fairly extensive rewrite so I figured it was worth notifying you all just in case a bug crept in somewhere.

All done crb. Nice to run spa on a dry track for a change. I will probably run it a couple more times before the update hits.
6* Hyundai VGT (new color variant)
5* daily 500k
3* daily S lifters for a? I already forgot.

I tackled the weeklies all in one go.
1) Sunday Cup Classic @ Maggiore Center
Not too much to say, randomizer gave me the 356 Coupe but my 550pp Praiano one was definitely an overkill. CRB and first ticket obtained.
2) European Clubman Cup 600 @ Alsace Village
For this one it was my first ever drive of the Countach Anniversary, which was completely stock except for SH tires. This was such a pleasure to drive, this track gets a lot of hate (and I certainly don't like it myself) but it can prove to be a fun technical track, it fit nicely the old Lamborghini V12 even though it has quite some understeer while braking. Overtook Beauvois on the last lap and cruised for a nice win, no CRB unfortunately.
3) Evolution Meeting @ Monza
Nobody will ever convince me that this race exists for any other reason than honoring an old legend of Italian trash YouTube (search for Lancer Evo vs Punto Monza curve a granchio on YouTube if you're interested), because other than that it's a terrible pairing for an event. Didn't really want to spend too much to give my Sudo Kyoichi Evo III enough power for the Monza straights so I only bought upgrades from the Sport section of the tuning shop plus a low pressure turbo (and of course the MISFIRING SYSTEM), and managed a P3. Enough for me since I had already won this race before in the Escudo Evo X. Second money ticket obtained.
4) American Clubman Cup 700 @ Bathurst
It was time for the SCPD to stop yet another underground street race, but there was that one fugitive that was too much even for the powerful Hellcat squad car. So the SCPD decided to honor all the previous medals obtained by the officer and gave the car a massive upgrade, hitting the suggested 700pp limit spot on. The Spanish fugitive was still super fast, even faster than the Hellcat (now with more than 800 hp) on the straights, but there's no escaping the law and he was eventually contained.
5) DTM @ Spa-Francorchamps
I know the randomizer gave me the Alfa for this, but that's the only car it gives for DTM events so I followed my heart and went in with the E30, given that the Alfa had always felt like a cheat code the previous times. And my choice was a good one, this car is super fun! Always ready to boit you when coming out of a slow corner, nimble and light, and with such a divine engine note! Also it's super competitive, I managed to win (on normal as always) despite sBinning twice, last time in Catalunya I had a much harder time. Super super fun race, shame to see it go so soon.
In the pic above: a Valentino Rossi-like overtake at the end of Kemmel which definetly needed to be pictured. No idea how I did manage to complete that.
Final ticket was the 6* which gave me 500k, not good and not bad, I'll take it. Daily was a 3* that gave me a semi-racing exhaust for the 2013 Viper 🤢

Today I revisited the American Clubman 700 at Mount Panorama, this time with a 700+ HP Dodge Charger. And that was fun!
Another american car added to my favorite cars' tab. 😎
Final result (normal difficulty)
I did a Vettel 2018 at the very last turn, lost my 10 seconds gap. ☹️
