Week is completed, once again.
1) Jimny Cup @ Grand Valley South
Tested the new Sierra for this race, stock wasn't good enough since it is way underpowered in the final straight so I could only manage P4. Used the 17,5k prize to buy the Sport performance parts and a set of new wheels and tried again, this time it was a nice and well fought win. No CRB, AI is too erratic with the Jimnies and this wasn't enough of an interesting race to try again.
2) Japanese Clubman Cup 550 @ Tokyo Expressway South
The fun Tokyo layout. Randomizer gave me the Impreza WRX Type R as the designated car, but my only one is a 600pp Praiano-tuned one which obviously turned out to be an overkill. But it's a great car to drive regardless so it was fun. No CRB, hate the walls.
3) WTC 600 @ Catalunya Rallycross
How did I miss this race all this time? This was genuinely fun, no way to obtain a CRB as it feels like a pure RX event with a lot of paint exchanging, but it was really an interesting and different race, if only for the close grid start. I was tasked to use the Evo Final Gr.B Road Car and I couldn't resist putting one of my VR38 engines from the Bonanza days in it; it wasn't the best of choices though as this race is mostly tight and slow, and the massive Nismo engine suffers a bit at low regimes. Still, managed to win with ease, but I will definitely try this race a bit more in the future with different cars. The Evo will get tuned to 700pp and pay itself back at LM eventually.
4) Porsche Cup @ Lago Maggiore GP
Time to try the newly added Turbo S, it seems. Completely stock on SH, just with a set of BBS wheels since I don't like the stock ones, it is a bit messy of a drive but that's definitely on me and not on the car. I did get the hang of it eventually and it was definetly more than enough capable of winning, however I spun at the very last corner of the very last lap due to my smartphone distracting me (forgot to put it on Do Not Disturb mode) and ended P2. It's fine.
5) The World Group C Championship @ Le Mans (no chicane)
And now for the main event. Was tasked to do it with the 787B, all I had was an 800pp setup just unrestricted with full power and no ballast. It was more than enough to win, cruising past opponents at 370 kmh on the Hunaudieres in what was indeed some good racing. Would love to actually try the 787B in a full unrestricted tune though, if anyone knows one please let me know 😁
