Tried anything to set up the GT DD Pro to feel similar to what it felt before the Update 1.16.
No chance. 4 hours in total wasted Lifetime.
Ah well, at least I adapted to the new/old Settings.
Closed the Game and went out with my Wife to enjoy the Weather and had a drink in a Bar 😁
 
On the Plus account, I took the 800PP-tuned Corvette Gr.3 (on racing hards) to Spa for the 1-hour race. Before I entered fuel-conservation mode at the end of lap 5 because the rain was a bit slow in coming, I turned a sub-2:20 lap and caught up to the leader (Portilla and his Viper). I turned the fuel management mode to 6 to make it through lap 7, kept contact with Portilla, and the rain came about 2/3rds of the way through that lap.

Surprisingly, Portilla didn't come down pit road, which was his downfall. I did, and slapped some heavy wet tires on along with a full load of fuel. None of the other front-runners came down on lap 7 either, which meant I took the lead before the end of lap 8, and stretched it out to nearly a minute before I spun off on lap 11 to lose, at the time, about 25 seconds.

I stayed out a lap too long on the heavily-degraded wet tires, as I lost the lead coming into the pits at the end of lap 14 to take racing hards and fuel. Fortunately, everybody else had to make a stop, and despite staying with FM6 to save fuel, I took the win by close to a minute.

I then detuned it to 730PP to do the last European race I hadn't done, the Gr.3 at Spa. That was an easy win. I took the usual low-cash insult on the 2-star marathon roulette for 5,000 Cr.
 
I did the Ferrari Challenge at Maggiore on Hard for a 2nd place in my F50. It was actually pretty good fun, then got gold on sector 2 of the Nurburgring. I think it was a total of 37km, then I turned the game off.

Its a bit of a shame cause I LOVE the feeling of the driving. I'm just tired of doing the same thing over and over again.
 
I bought another car...

That's nearly 21 million in 2 days! Time to stop spending and start saving again.
 
Fun with Gr.3 cars. Suddenly I love the game again 😂

- McLaren 650S GT3 with a turbo kit at the Sardegna WTC800. Despite all the power from the turbo and being an MR car, it is quite stable.

- Castrol Supra GT500 with a turbo kit and some ballast at the Spa pepper race. Wiped the floor with everyone. 20+ seconds ahead of second place.

- Pennzoil Skyline GT500 with a turbo kit and some ballast at the Lago Maggiore pepper race. Another win, but it wasn’t as easy this time around.
 
Ran 60 minutes at the Spa 24Hr layout (World Touring 800) and it was a disaster. Up 2 2nd, down to 14th after 1st 1:02 pitstop (is that the longest on the circuit) then back up to 8th. Ok so far it was good but made my last pitstop at 45:00 +/- and no sooner that I get out of the pits it starts raining. Funny thing was there was no rain on the radar when I went in. This made the rest of the race one of the worst I have ever participated in. Finished 16th and will not be doing that one again anytime soon. Some how I did pull a CRB out of that race though.

Finished up Fisherman's Ranch Dirt Championship with a win.

4 star ticket = 10K.
 
Did about 10 races in Ferrari Challenge for credits.

Completed the Le Mans circuit experience.

Opened 2 daily tickets for a suspension and 10k credits.

Bought the Miura that I'd been grinding for and took some pictures with the GTO as well.

Deleted the game. I have about 200 hours in the game and probably 90% of that is grinding. I've had enough.
I'll be back after some huge updates to the career mode.

Finally got my 800pp f50 to the 1h spa race. This has to be the hardest to drive car on spa that ive been in so far. Took me a good 5 laps to find proper brake points and try to not spin out at blanchimont and raidillon. But ended up in first after the rain and some front runners pitting for wrong tires. Been saving up the daily tickets, but not expecting much. Havent bought a car in a while, wanna get more credits first before i start spending again.
 
I did some practice laps at Le Mans in preparation for the upcoming GTWS Nations Cup round, using the Porsche 919. My best time was a 3:26.xxx; it's beyond me how the best times are over ten seconds faster than that, but I suppose I'll do my best, especially since I'm racing for the GT2 class. I got a four-star ticket, and while I did see an engine, I merely won a height-adjustable sports suspension for the Lexus LC500 that's worth 6k credits. I'll likely straight-up discard that part, too, since when I buy a suspension set, it's always the fully-customizable one.

I'll likely play some more today, as it's likely that I'll attempt the Kyoto Driving Park One Hour, using a heavily-tuned Ford Focus ST '15. It may not even have 300 HP, but I think this car does really well on the turns, which this course has plenty of.
 
I reached Collector Level 50 last night by buying the new Toyota LM Hyper Car, just in time for the Le Man 24 hr weekend...

I won both the 1 hr Spa WTC 800 race and 30 min LM WTC 700 race at a canter, as for once it stayed dry for both races. That said, I felt like I was diddled out of a good race in the former, as my nemesis F. "Don't call me Portillo" Portilla appeared to be on the same strategy as myself but was in a clear lead, before mysteriously vanishing. It turned out, it started to rain very lightly about 50 nanoseconds after I clicked on 'Hard' tyres in the pits, but the rain came to nothing. Curiously, though, Portilla pitted again at the end of his out lap to switch to Inters, which turned out to be a terrible mistake. It was a pity, because with me intending to stick to Fuel Map 4 and RH tyres, and with the same pit strategy (3-stop, lap 7,14,21), he appeared to have the measure of me, but threw it away with a somewhat incomprehensible call to come back in for inters. Either that or the Viper doesn't have a rain radar...

Anyway, I should hopefully have some more exciting news, possibly tomorrow and/or Sunday...

Now that qualifying laps actually count towards daily marathon, I threw down a couple of Daily Bs.

Went through the first one in the Alfa from the back of the pack. Went from 12th to 7th before being nudged onto the grass at the last corner by someone who was clearly just lining me up, as they themselves didn't stay off of the grass. Ended up 10th.

Tried to set some better qualies in the WRX but ditched that as it feels like a boat compared to the Alfa. Switched back to the Alfa.

This time started in 12th, got some assistance in leaving the track on lap 3. Worked my way back up to 9th by the final corner. The same twonk that pushed me off on the previous race was at it again, this time infront of me though, taking a few people out this time. Come onto the straight in 7th, close behind 6th (twonk) and 5th, but they both have penalties, so 12th to 5th.

Once I've got the car, I might have to have a go at a that on LeMans.
 
Did Monza 800pp with the BMW VGT , 10 laps of missing my brake points and a solid 3rd place..

3 star on the Wheel of trolling gave me the lowest prize (what a surprize!) 10k just as the 2 star card gave me yesterday. Right now i can't remember when the Wheel hasn't been making a fool of PD and their crappy game design.
