Would be nice if the Group C one was longer with a bit of strategy but fun combo anyway

A million for the third ticket? And WTC 800 being a special event? This sounds very interesting indeed...
Really digging this new Randomizer feature of picking rarely used cars, great job @Nakano219 😁

Cars picked and dressed.
Two of my least favourite tracks -- Willow Springs and Catalunya Rallycross -- but those reward tickets look nice.
I initially picked the McLaren MP4/4 '88 for the Neo Classical race, but wasn't sure if I'd be able to tune it down to 800PP. It turns out you can, if you switch to RH tires, add ballast, max out the power restrictor, and tinker with the downforce (lower the front, raise the back). I just tried it out and it still drives pretty nice there for an easy win.

Thoroughly enjoyed that Group C race at Watkins Glen these last few days… why is there no historic IMSA-type championship in this game? Surely the work of a moment to add an event series in to the menu system 🤷♂️

I don't think there is enough material to do a Historic IMSA championship of any kind as there's hardly enough cars to do a full IMSA Grid in any year (Even a current one is questionable with how many current GT3 cars there are.)

Really happy with the one hour endurance race this week. Although a bit disappointed with the low payout to grind that race for a week as opposed to the Le Mans race for example. But nice to receive a million credits for completing all five races.
And not to forget to still receive four bonus tickets/credits for the holiday logins.

Dirt track? Yuck. 4 out of the 5 races being cool isn't totally bad. At least PD isn't trying to force Drift, so there's that.

Another fun Friday morning drive on normal difficulty.
Sardegna - Volkswagen Polo GTI '14 - Upgraded the tires to SS, which put the car just under the 500PP limit. It wasn't quite enough, though. I was able to take P2 on the final corner, but couldn't quite catch the leader on the sprint to the finish. Oh well, still got the first ticket.
Catalunya - Subaru WRX Gr.B Rally Car - There are few things that I actively dislike in GT7. This track is one of them. No changes to the car. Took the lead mid-way through the race for an easy win. Second box checked.
Deep Forest - Nissan Sileighty '98 - I didn't have to go too crazy with modifications to get this car competitive: SS tires, all the sports-level upgrades, and high close-ratio transmission. That wasn't near good enough for the win, though. Almost all the cars could blast past me on the straights. They were terrible in the corners, so I gained places there. Finished P3, which was good enough for the second ticket.
Willow Springs - McLaren F1 GTR Race Car '97 - I'm not big on this track either. I left the car unchanged. Ran the race on RM tires. Pitted for fuel only on lap 4. Took the lead from AI Tidge when he went into the pits on lap 9. Fourth box checked.
Bathurst - Lexus RC F GT3 prototype '16 - I enjoy endurance races, so this was right up my alley. I ran on RH tires and saved fuel for a 1-pit strategy (short-shifting at 50% of the rev bar, and bumping the fuel map up to 2 on the Conrod Straight). That got me 15 laps, where I pitted for fuel and fresh tires. It took me until lap 20 to take the lead, when Brown in the Ford finally pitted. It was an easy drive to the win from there. I enjoyed this race, but the payout is atrocious. A comparable custom race pays out 493,000 Cr. The final 1M ticket made up for it, though.
Good times.
