Sardegna and made an impressive replay of the incredible AI in GT7

Hilarious. Another fun thing to do if you’re really, really bored is to take your heaviest car (or truck) in and block them from entering the pits when they try, then watch as they limp around the track at 15mph (or whatever painfully slow speed it is) until they get back to the pits and can get more fuel.
 
I tried the Alpine Glitch Tune for Tokyo and I won’t do it again. Car is great, but **** those wall penalties.

I earned some Credits in LeMans using the BRZ Drift Car fully tuned and had 7 laps in 31:30 with entering the pit 3 times. Fuel Map 6 and 2 laps are max for my automatic transmission racing style.

I set a time with my controller at the Glen and happily beat it using the DD Pro.

I managed to earn more credits doing more CEs.

Created a low effort livery for a black beauty of a car.

Finally turned GT7 off to watch Crimson Tide on Disney+

Ran a few daily B's before the week expired.

Race 1 went from last to 8th on lap 1 due to a huge crash ahead taking out a huge pack of cars. Had a racing incident on the final lap that saw someone trying to drive through me while I took a defensive line through a tight left. Finished 5th. Post race lobby was a lot of people asking what happened on lap 1, while someone else accused me of being "dirty" and informing me that defending the apex is "illegal".

Race 2 was similar, started last and by lap 2 jumped up to 9th due to a string of crashes ahead of me. Finished 6th.

Logged off, noticed I had a string of PSN messages from my Race 1 friend, quite rude and abusive, so reported them. Woke up and found all the messages had been "Deleted by PlayStation Safety". Thanks Sony!

Edit - also should note that being late night on Sunday, these lobbies were mixed, we had a handful of A+/S races down to C/C racers. I'm B/S, my friend is A/B.

Woke up to find a tune suggested by B80 for the A110 ‘17 and it was wonderful, added it to the CfS Table. Got my 4* for completing the race and…

Then I rejiggered the Black Series to get it a 3rd lap at Sarthe with an AT. The race was going fabulous until I pulled into the pits at the end of L3 for fuel and tires for the impending rain, only to discover I had not purchased IM’s for this version, OOPS! My middle laps suffered terribly as a result, but managed some redemption on L7 for a new record lap.

Discovered all my invites were about to expire, so I dropped over half my credits on the FXX K & Enzo and second copies of the LaFerrari, CarreraGT & Veneno.

Then took out the Focus RS (walloped by a late rain storm, will need a retest now) & Genesis G70 and added them to the CfS Table. Faced a very difficult decision on which Honda to run, a 4-lap NSX ‘02, the NSX ‘92 (one of my personal) favorites or the swapped Integra. Opted for the Integra to show off VTiRoj’s tune for it, only problem was I had 2 variants and I used the one I’d already tested, not the updated (presumably better) version.

Bought 2 more cars, Lexus RC F and Jaguar F-Type. Tuned them up with the Veneno, the Delta HF & the Hyundai Genesis 3.8 for tomorrow’s testing. Might be kind of a slog without proper tunes for most of them, but that will queue up ’The Mighty M’s’ for Wednesday, so all good.

’Twas a long, expensive day and now I’m spent, both literally and figuratively.
 
On the GTP account, after buying the Giulia TZ2, I took the GTO Twin Turbo to Tokyo, and had to block Kokubun all the way down the frontstretch on the last lap. The resulting 4-star Wheel of Despair gave the low-cash 30,000-Cr. option.

I then turned some laps at Kyoto for this week's WRS. Even with SS tires, that 2020 Civic is a slippery beast.

On the Plus account, I golded the Spa CE, and got insulted with the lowest-possible 5,000 Cr. from the 3-star Wheel of Despair for the second day in a row. I still had enough to buy the NSX Gr.3 and the Genesis Gr.3, and maintain my UCD/Hagerty's reserve.

Spent a long time prepping and transferring data from a PS4 to PS5 and then another hour loading the PS5 version of gt7. Ran a couple wtc700 races to check things out and fairly impressed graphically but way more impressed with the triggers on the controller. Then moved on to Returnal. Will probably come back to check out gt7 again after the update.
 
I tried the 220 in Tokyo again I made some changes to gearing and it was still a little slow. I took to the 30 minutes LeMans race and I got it 8th place before the rain started and I had to quit the race. I would have been higher but I had a really bad spinout that dropped me from 7th to like 13th place. Got the 3 star ticket and my impressive streak of getting lowest possible amount of money continued as I got 5k cr :lol:
 
After my stunt with the 155 the other day, I thought I wouldn’t be able to get the Giulia TZ2 in the Legends dealership, but I was able to snag it anyway. 😉

I also did a run at the Le Mans WTC800 (the five-lap race) with the Gr.3 McLaren F1 GTR and managed to win with stock settings (other than a low downforce and zero camber/toe setup).
 
Had a load of invites recently from the spins, used one (and all my savings) to buy the Vulcan.

Very fast and very thirsty - on FM1 and AT, it was a 4-stopper for the 10 lap WTC 800 at Monza!

Stuck some softs on and instead entered it for the GT championship. A ridiculously easy win.

Ran a few daily B's.

Race 1 started with me near the back, realizing that of the 4 qualifying laps I'd put in, exactly none of them were good. Decided to drop to the back of the pack and use people infront of me as a guide, however they're also at the back of the pack for a reason... So that didn't help. Ended up passing a bunch of people on lap 1 and then yielding my position on lap 2 to an Audi TT driver called Paco, as he had faster pace through the corners. End of the race Paco almost came to a complete stop by the line to give me the position back, so I braked to stop and give Paco the position... Paco then accelerated, realized what I was doing and braked to make me take the spot, I saw what he was doing, braked and he rolled over the line ahead of me. Closest finish I've ever had!

Race 2 was similar. Stayed at the back. Knowing I'd have faster pace than some of the other cars though, I decided to make this a race from the back. Went fine until the last lap where entering into a braking zone in 7th with 2 cars tenths ahead of me, someone behind decided to go bowling - hitting me clean off the apex into the other 2 cars. Finished second to last.

On the GTP account, I put some RH tires on the NSX GT500 and decided to see if that will be my new Sardegna grinder. Despite it not being quite fuel efficient enough for a no-stop race (I needed FM2 on the first stint for a 1-stopper), it held promise...until the back tires gave up the ghost near the end of lap 14. The crash (which didn't ruin the "clean" race bonus) and resulting pit stop for a set of RM tires for the last lap brought the total time up to 26:26, still good for an easy win. Guess I'll be sticking with the Tomahawk S.

The resulting 4-star marathon Wheel of Despair gave another Mazda Roadster Touring Car. If only we could sell cars....

On the Plus account, I golded the Alsace and Red Bull CEs, got the low-cash 30,000-Cr. option from the 4-star marathon Wheel of Despair (at least it wasn't a 3rd-consecutive 5,000-Cr. 3-star), and made it to the M's (specifically the Mazda Atenza Gr.3) in the 450,000-Cr. logjam.

The FFB is a game-changer, I don’t like playing on the 4 because it doesn’t have it. I imagine I’d be using a lot more assists without it.

I knew I was in for a long day when I couldn’t find tunes for 3 of my test subjects and the others would not include any Exeter or Praiano tunes, will make up for that tomorrow.

Started the day in the Hyundai Genesis 3.8, really kind of nice, better then expected. The rain came in at the end of L2 and didn’t let up until L5, so only managed 6 laps. Gonna’ have to retest as I got no FL as a result. 4* got me a 2nd Tesla, not sure what I’ll do with that…

Next up was the Jaguar F-Type and oh boy do I like this one. Terrible fuel economy and nothing I could find to fix it, so its 2 laps and in for fuel at Sarthe. But it sounds great and has oodles of power. I’d love to see someone put a tune together for this car.

Next was the Veneno and I had been hoping for a Praiano tune, but that was not to be. Instead, I tuned another revision for her at 700 to try and clean-up some understeer some had complained about. I was completely ready to turn and burn after my refill after L5, but swapped out for Wets (which I almost never do) because there was a pretty purple mass looming. Of course, it completely skirted the track and I lost my hot lap opportunity on 7. That was a real pity, I felt I was going to turn a 4:05 at the least, damn.

Into a swapped Delta for a Jeje tune that I had to tweak a bit for economy’s sake, but got her dialed in pretty nicely. ‘Dynamic’ Weather tried to rain me out of this one as well, but the little Lancia wasn’t going to bow out so easily.

For the final test of the day, it was the Nave 15x’s Lexus RC F’s turn. Not a bad little run, but this car is severely hampered by poor fuel economy. Sub-4:20 lap and sub-32:00 overall, so that works.

Now I need a nap. It takes about an hour to set everything up, figure out the fuel mapping, etc…definitely more involved than I thought when I started this project. Until tomorrow!
 
Just ran a Sardegna race for some credits. On lap 6, I got spun by the A.I. and wound up spinning into the pits. I'd just pitted the previous lap, so it was more like a stop/go penalty. I lost too much time and wound up in 2nd. I was about 1 second behind the leader at the finish, but without that spin, I would've easily won. Aggravating, for sure. But at least I got SOME credits out of it and it was only 1 place down. Although, that 1 place means I lost almost 300k credits.
 
Test drive my new 1,195hp Nissan Silvia. It didn't go well. I was 1 second a lap faster on Tsukuba on the comfort mediums compared to the stock 140hp engine. Even with racing softs I'm getting wheelspin at 175 mph. Hilarious. Opened my 4* uselessbox and got my 2nd gifted Mazda Atenza (road version). Yay.

Ground Spa with the Lexus LC-F gt500. Actually managed to finish without a track limits penalty. I usually get a .5 seconds penalty somewhere on there.
3 star ticket of dispondency gave me a Bore up for a Merc A45. I could rebuild this bloody car with the parts I get off the bloody roulette.
Anyhow, that was all, coz I went to the Home of Football to watch the England Lionesses smash the Swedes. Footballs coming home.... Hopefully 😁
