Porsche 919 on Racing Hards, Medium turbo (optional, but just to make sure!) no stop needed, the other cars all stop and I was already on course to take the lead even if they didn't!
Yes, the most important thing is to manage your fuel setting so you don't need to pit, as the AI all does. Personally, I used a detuned F3500 to make use of the new car, using the tune that was posted a couple of pages back by @rheinaoi , detuned to 900PP.
(Disclaimer: I play on Easy, first run through of the Cafe mode was on normal, but after that I just wanted an Easy life :lol: )

Races done at the very last, not much time this week since there's the Sanremo festival! All done on Normal, since I couldn't really try over and over again. But, all (except for one) were great fun!

The only 356 Coupe I had was the 550pp one I used for the one-make special time ago. Still very drivable even after 1.55 patch, no, it's even better. Easy win.

A nearly stock WRX STI on SH tires was really competitive here, won by a couple of seconds after a very fun race. In the photo, the very moment when I lost the CRB.

Decided my stock Evo X wasn't gonna be enough for this, so I tuned it up to 620-something PP on SM tires. Found my old GT2 race mods livery I made in Sport ages ago and decided, why not? Imported it and made it into some sort of Super Taikyu livery. Very fun and competitive race with the leading cars! This layout is GOOD. There, I've said it, I like a St. Croissant layout.

Only fitted the death star turbo on this one, on RM tires and FM4, stock tune. This car is SUBLIME, it was so much enjoyable to drive! Pitted on lap 7, did the last three laps on RS and won. Super super fun!

And now, for the tickets. The parts one, you already know what Kaz gave me...

And the car ticket? Not much better...

Dupe car in the exact same color scheme of the one I already had. Sold it for 550k.

I just raced the Suzuka race once & on the 8th lap, it started to drizzle enough for AI cars to pit for inters. Is rain in the ending stages just random or a given?
 
A couple of Google pages are saying February 1990 is when development of the Viper was first completed. Celebrating 35 years of the Viper?

Viper event is a really welcome and unexpected race, gonna love this! And for the first time a custom tune shows up in the Randomizer, interested in seeing how it will perform against the Hypercars.
 
I was going to be disappointed that they didn't give this a Tourist Trophy like name, but apparently the Viper doesn't have a GT4 one-make event to take the name from. I'd have thought it would have from memory.
 
My cars for the week (none of these had been driven before:

And my ticket prize:

It is a duplicate but unfortunately, the second hand market is currently depressed, so I will have to wait a couple of weeks before I can sell it.
 
Thank You to all those that suggested the Porsche 919 for the last race. What an astounding car! I wonder if any other car can match it for sheer grip, handling, tire wear & fuel consumption as a single package.
