But what is it?
It is a site which gives you random car selections for the weekly challenges. Players have been liking it because you end up driving cars you might not have selected otherwise.

(Personally, I achieve a similar result by sorting cars by "last used" and selecting something at the bottom of the list).

Ah, I see. Good idea. I was hoping it is a site that tells you what to do got get what you want from tickets that you receive as part of weekly challenges:-)
 
Well that was an ok group of races.
WTC900- now I know why I haven't completed the series, it was THIS race. lol Could only muster 5th in one of my tries. I'll try a GT500 car sometime. Was on track to probably podium but after I pitted for RS on lap 8 it POURED and that was it. Spun out.
Anyway....
Bathurst was in one of my Subies seen here leading the Subaru train. Easy win.

Another easy win at Nurburgring. Won by around 30 seconds.

Saint Croix B was another easy one. This in another Hyundai.

Kyoto I used the car I usually run in the Kei races. It was right at the suggested PP but it went up 30pp with the new update! Will still be legal for any Kei race that pops up though. Easy win over the CHR.

The first 4 races are all very easy to win, even on hard difficulty. The WTC900 is a good battle, though. I took out the ‘08 NSX on RM tires and the big turbo. It drives well and I was able to lap in the 1:49’s with it, but I still only took 3rd place being behind by 6 seconds. I’ve already won the race previously. Can’t remember what I used. Probably a Gr.C car.

Anyway, my parts ticket was for stage 5 weight reduction on the GT-R Safety car (I’ve never driven it) and my car prize was the Skoda VGT. Sold it for ~650k credits.
 
Better set of races this week, the Suzuka one I used the Porsche 919, Fm5, no stop for a simple win, should have probably used a lesser car to be honest as it was far quicker even turned right down.

I actually got a 6* ticket for the daily marathon as well, possibly for the first time ever I think. Ended up with $1m, a '16 GTR and a bore up kit for the delorean from the 3 tickets.
 
In hindsight this set of races went a bit strange somehow. All the events have been fairly easy and I’d almost say race 1 was the hardest of the batch, at least for me. :lol:
Although I had equipped the Beat ( beware of the loose rear under braking ) with a turbo charger, the car was barely quick enough and the race was the closest of them all.
The Toyotas at Mt. Panorama and St. Croix were great although both have very soft stock suspension settings - anyway, fun races and St. Croix with its fabulous final sector will see me some more times soon. :D
The Ioniq is … well, the Ioniq. A boat for sure which lets you feel its weight all the time. But as soon as you slap on SM tires it really becomes manageable. Mine was and the wing looks cool, doesn’t it !
Race 5 at Suzuka, now this one saw me struggle in the beginning for the setup on my Audi which was all over the place. Had to return to quasi stock and two laps of adapting before things ( and my performance ) improved. After six laps I still felt like having lost the race but the three leading cars got inexplicably :rolleyes: slow on the final laps and I was able to catch up and take the win. Just like that.
Received four clean race bonuses as well for races 1 - 4 …

Here's some pictures from the races :
