Called it once again. Time to Pull out the Ol' Alfa Once more, just gotta figure out what livery I want to use this time...
 
From the archives untold moments in motorsport. Toyota win DTM race in Italy. :sly:

Not the most interesting week, but pretty easy races all around with a decent choice of cars. Le mans with the Hypercars is quite good, fun to see the pace difference between the cars that are good on the straights versus the ones that are good in the corners. DTM was the usual, used all my cars on the others so back to the Alfa, pretty easy win even with one of the AI 15 seconds up the road from the rest. Nice time of day for the first two races, even if they are a little short.

What a pleasant way to spend a Friday morning. Normal difficulty.

Goodwood - Honda S800 '66 - That's a fun little car. I upgraded the tires to CS. That gave it enough PP to take an easy win. First ticket obtained.

Road Atlanta - Chevrolet Camaro Z28 '69 - The Camaro was better here than I expected. I upgraded the tires to SS and pulled the bumpers off, but otherwise stock. That was enough for P2. That Cosworth just blasted off into the distance on the straight. I just couldn't catch it. Good enough for the second check mark.

Colorado Springs - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV GSR '96 - Some good fun in the dirt! I'm not sure the car needed it, but I added all the sports-level upgrades to get the car into the 530s PP. That made for an easy win. Second ticket obtained.

Le Mans - Lambourghini Veneno '14 - This car was a handful, especially under braking. Not a surprise, though, because it is also an absolute rocket. I upgraded the tires to SS. It took a couple aborted attempts to figure out how far back I needed to brake (hint: more than you think). Good fun. Easy win. Check mark number four completed.

Monza - Alfa Romeo 155 2.5 V6 TI 93 - I keep picking the 155 for these races because I'm not great at tuning. It was an easy win on RM tires. I wish there were more pre-tuned racers from this era to pick from. Final ticket obtained.
 
If I make time to do three of this week's challenges, here's what I'll likely use:

Sunday Cup Classic: Ferrari 500 Mondial Pininfarina Coupe
American FR Challenge 550: Dodge Viper GTS '13
Hypercar Parade: Ferrari LaFerrari
