This is my first post in this Weekly Races thread so here's the cars that I run:
Mitsubishi Lancer IIIV GSR
BMW Z4 '01
Chevy Corvette C6
Madza 787B
(unfortunately I failed to achieve ONE CRB on all five events. All races on hard difficulty except the last two.)
First Event is the American event using the Corvette that have been very reliable for the past couple weeks. A very underrated track on the Blue Moon Speedway makes my driving a bit rusty, nonetheless easy win.
Next event is the AWD Japanese event and I choose the Evo IIIV. I driven this Kyoto Driving Park many times that makes it another cruising win.( This car is one of my favorite dream cars to drive)
Next event is a one-make battle of the Z4's racing thru the Tokyo E-way. I chose the red z4 and this time I didn't make too much upgrading my car just to make it competitive. Throughout the race I was battling through the pack up to the dark grey z4 just to past him before the final lap to get another podium win.
The last two events for this weekly races involved the Mazda 787B with fuel and tyre wear comes to play.
The next event, the Neo-Classic Competition, is one I had the most problems with due to how the 787b drives. The strategy for this race is to run on FM6 at the start to end, RH tires,the issue is the lack of cornering-not to go off track or spinning out- on a very technical Fuji Speedway, and barely keeping up once I in 10th place.
So I decided to lower the difficulty to easy and fine tuned to make it drivable seen below:
-increased the rear anti-roll for oversteer
-adjusted the differential to reduced understeer
-adjusted the front downforce
-added max weight for pp restrictions
Once again I run it back again as it went from intense coming from behind to cruising past the competition in 4/10 laps for the another podium win.
One thing to note on that race is the chance of rain is completely random. In one race it's raining earlier, in another it's raining late. The weather is always the same; at the start midday with clear, partly cloudy skies thru a overcast clouded evening, luckily it didn't rain on the event that I won.
Last event, WTC800, using the same car before with the strategies (same tune as well). the only change is to start at fm6, thru halfway to the race, move to fm3.
One thing I forgot to do was to change the difficulty back, once I was up front by lap 4 and with a sizable margin I pitted near lap 8 for new set of tires and full tank set it to FM1 to finished the race with another win.
That Dragon Trail Seaside Reverse wasn't something i've expected because I haven't driven the variant enough but adjusted to it.
Rewards:
-6-star parts reward (don't know what engine part, didn't care)
-3-star driving marathon for couple thousand credits
- a 150,000 credits
-6-star car reward prize is no other than the 2002 Enzo Ferrari
So far a 'decent' weekly event, the neo-classic event was stressful while everything else is a breeze. Hopefully a better rewards for next week.

So I finished the WC last night. I started with the GTOne at Fuji
I ended up doing it twice as I got some on lap 8 and decided that I didn't want to turn at the chicane and tried to jump the barriers there which did not work. So that was an L. Re-did the race and it was much better didn't get any hard rain but I needed to change tires on lap 8. I had about a 21 second lead on Grady in the Jag which I lost in the pits. I ended up 5 seconds behind him so I got a little excited in that I would have to really race going into the last lap but he pitted on lap 10 to give me the win. Really disappointed by that.
Next I went to Blue Moon and I tried out one if my SHelby Cobras for the easy win. I haven't driven it in a looooong while. Very enjoyable
Next I used the a swap Mazda 3 at the Japan race. I haven't used that in while either
Finally I had 2 Z4s that I didn't want to mess with so I bought one a modified it to 700pp to also be used at LeMans. I grabbed a nice livery that I was able to change the color and I must say this is a great car.
I got a Jaguar SV VGT. I normally sell most EVs but I actually like how this one looks.
