Won 25,000 credits racing a stock 2008 BMW M3 around Hockenheimring for a couple of laps.

Too bad I already spent sixty grand getting the car in the first place. I realise now the Hub Challenge I was chasing is essentially a bribe or bung designed to get you to buy the Beemer regardless of whether you need it or not.

It was fun and responsive at stock B545 but as soon as I applied a tune it underperformed on the straights compared to its rival Audis which must've been around B600 or more bone stock. Aus Freude am Fahren, my arse. :grumpy:

Finally won the M4 GT3 car last night and did the Kyalami event, and wow another cracking car! They really seem to have nailed the sound of it and out of the box it's got great handling (if slightly oversteery). I don't think I've ever turned in to Sunset corner with as much speed in any of the other GT cars.
 
To get the Elantra, I did a 25-lap quick race Forza GT race on Sebring (short circuit), and with a successful pit strategy (started with soft and ended with hard compound, 4.0x wear factor) I finished 3rd with the VW Golf.
 
Public service announcement! Try the HyperCar parade in this weeks races it’s at Kyoto driving park… use the Radical SR3 fully tuned with everything except nitrous.
Officially in my top 5 favorite races I’ve ever played, 250 hours in.
Turn up the volume and listen to that turbo sound!
 
I took a Mercedes to a Cadillac/Chevy race (Luxury HP tour). That's bad, right? Luckily by the time I reached Yas Marina my C63 was leaving the level 8 AI in the dust from a seventh place starting position. That's good, right?

I had to rep the good ol Murica in the Blackwing last night for this series. I did find it annoying that it was all Cadillacs.

I also chose the Blackwing since I don't have any other Cadillacs other than the DPi car with any points on them. And I also thought it was annoying that it was the Cadillac Invitational Series.
 
I installed Forza Motorsport on my laptop, works great but with a low resolution and low quality graphics but eh, I don't mind.

Did some car levelling on some random'ish tracks and I reached level 888. Currently driving a Aston Martin DB4 Zagato, it'll soon be level 50.

Managed to get max discount with Ford, I love Ford. It reminds me of our good ol' Windstar and Freestar my parents drove when we were young adults! Good times. Whenever I think about 90's and early 00's Fords I recall going to Terrebonne from Mascouche on the Montée Masson road in Quebec. I've looked the place up recently and it grew so darn much, I don't recognize it! 😊

32GB RAM 💪 but 4GB VRAM 🤣 Just enough VRAM to run the game. Laptop only goes at 50-55 Celsius after the upgrade it had this month.

(Edit reason: I had the souvenir route confused between the roads.)
