Just finished the tsukuba 1h mission. Didnt know the rain radar stopped eorking after the last update. In the end it was an easy mission anyway, double lapped the whole field exept number 2&3. Fun race as the track/car combo is superb! Won a six star engine roulette ticket.
Only the kei car misery to go for all golds on missions. Not looking forward to this. Gonna look for a tune on this site, as i have no idea how to set up a kei car fow winning this race.

Took the Porsche Strassenversion to LeMans. Difficult to get 3 laps out of it on FM6. 2 stops, but no rain. Still needs a bit of short shifting. No major mods used either.
The 3 star ticket of dispondency gave me 5000 credits. Normal service has been resumed.
Bought the Nissan Fairlady performance 23 to complete the cafe menu thing to get the G Reddy. Bought all Nissan cars that I didn't have. Sarah tells me that I have 300 cars, and if anyone can collect them all, it's me, patronising cow.
Fitted the Rampage engine to the Delorean, with a load of tuning parts from Understeer. Tried a test run at LeMans. Started with a 600PP tune from @praiano63 and worked from there. It's fast as f#&k, but have to brake in a straight line. It'll kill you if you try to trailbrake. Needs work, but the F1 Hungaroring is on, then the Women's Euro Final. Come on England 🏴

I started on the Plus account, and bought the Abarth 595 SS as it was back in the UCD. As the Escudo was back in Hagerty's (it has an up-arrow this time around, so expect a price increase in August), some people said they could successfully do the Neoclassical Challenge with it, Praiano has a decent tune (from which I forgot the -5 brake balance, and omitted the wheel changes, necessitating a 1-point ECU reduction from his tune), and the next meta Group C is going to be a while in coming back to Hagerty's, I decided to grab that and head to Willow Springs. My first aborted extended attempt (on normal) saw me a bit too slow and too fuel-inefficient. The second one, once I found that it was both faster and more fuel-efficient to short-shift, was a successful nailbiter. This time, I made it to 2nd on lap 7, turning a fast lap of 1:11.1 (only Grady had a faster fast lap), and Grady's front-running Jaguar didn't pit on lap 9. His well-worn RM tires allowed me to pass him on the last corner, and I held on for a 0.003-second win in 12:07. I don't recommend this strategy if you're on hard difficulty.
Before I hit Red Bull Ring with the Escudo, I brought the final gear down to 2.780 to get some more straight-line speed and fuel economy, and fixed the brake balance. Knowing there would be rain, I ran flat-out the first 3 laps, almost caught the leading Solis and his Escudo, and came down for fuel and full-wet tires as I saw the heavy rain would be there before the end of lap 4. As the pit stops cycled through, I gained a good 18-second lead, and even though I was short-shifting to save fuel (but not taking the map off 1), and the track almost dried before the second round of rain came on lap 9, I won by 33 seconds in 16:20. I even managed the clean race bonus.
I then headed to Fuji for the last of the Neoclassical Challenges. After some abortive attempts, I brought the final gear further down to 2.700, and did some extreme fuel saving (shifting before 7500 rpm). I still ran out of fuel just before the finish, but managed to coast to a 0.791-second win over Kokubun, who was the only other driver to do a no-stop strategy with his 787B. Third place was 36 seconds back. Because of that, and because the time of 17:07 was slow, again I wouldn't recommend this strategy if you're on hard difficulty.
The Wheels of Despair once again disappointed. The 5-star from Luca for completing the last Menu Book that I had open was the lowest-possible 100,000 Cr., and the 3-star marathon was the lowest-possible 5,000 Cr....for the 5th time in the last 10 marathon Wheels of Despair. The other 5 were the 2nd-lowest possible (and lowest-showing) 10,000 Cr. from a 6th 3-star, two 2nd-lowest-possible 30,000 Cr. from 4-stars (one was the lowest-showing option, the other 2nd-lowest-showing), a worthless invite from the single 5-star, and the lowest-possible (though 2nd-lowest-showing option) 500,000 Cr. from the single 6-star. I couldn't even get a single 450,000-Cr. car and still have enough in reserve to get the remaining UCD/Hagerty's cars at/below 450,000 Cr. What's next; a 2,000-Cr. 1-star?

On the GTP account, I tried and failed to improve my time in the Week 16 WRS time trial. I then bought another racing kart for the Week 17 time trial, painted it, my firesuit, and my helmet up, and had some "fun" at Lake Maggiore.
I then did something a little different - I took a stock 2013 Dodge Viper GTS to Tokyo for the wet race. It was "interesting" to hit 200 mph on the front stretch, almost as interesting as the slow-and-sloppy cornering characteristics. It does go 8 laps on FM1, my fast lap was 2:13.1, and it took 27:42, but the tires showed a lot of wear, and it took a lot of concentration.
The cashless 4-star workout roulette gave me another RX-7 engine.

Finished the new menus. Got a 2JZ engine in the 6 star roulette. Farming at Spa 1h with the F1 Longtail (with the Praiano tune it drives like a dream). Started setting up my swapped Integra, the goal is tu use it in the 550 races

Won a few races in Sardegna today, using the R92CP, Escudo and 962C. Then went to France with the GTO Twinturbo and the R32 GT-R, and with all that money I finally bought the 911 GT1 Street Version. I have to say, that is one sweet ride indeed.
Also, yesterday I had bought a used SLR McLaren since I was missing it in my collection, so I slammed Praiano's tune on it...with a few tweaks, I actually used RS tires, no custom rear and front wings (looks ugly) and made it lower, then hit the Hypercar Parade. The lack of rear downforce is real, but the car decimated the opponents anyways. And my reward with the engine ticket was...a Coyote 5.0 V8. Was hoping for the new LS7 Rampage, since I already have my own 700pp Mustang Mach 1.

Started the day discovering that my RUF was fully pumped-up and didn’t think that would be an appropriate evaluation of Praiano’s rather simplistic tune. Then I discovered that I didn’t have the money to replace it, so I was going to run Jump_Ace’s Escudo, only to discover that it was an off-road tune and also probably not appropriate. Shifting from one Oregonian to the next, I opted for madmyk’s Escudo and de-tuned it without fundamentally changing the tune. It slayed, to the point where I got really casual and while my times were good, they were not representative of how good they could have been. The accel/decel rates on that car are so insanely better than anything else, it might take me a few runs to really get it dialed in.
Bought the RUF, tuned it nearly exactly as published (a rarity for me) and hit the track. Unsurprisingly, it was another great tune from El Maestro. After the race I concocted a revision that should do 3 laps with an AT, but it remains to be fully tested.
So I was going to run the Daytona first, but then decided to tune it and the Drift and then run them back-to-back. Problem: took the Drift for a fuel test and got absolutely hooked and wound up completing the race. I absolutely love this thing, poor economy and all. My first run does not even begin to scratch the potential of this thing. I tuned a second version for RH’s, but at full power it burned 65% of the tank in 1 lap…at FM6.
Finally bought the new Skyline, now I just need another one and the Maserati. Tomorrow’s work should cover that expense.
It took a few days, but I got to finally sample the Daytona on a fresh tune from Basafillwt. It was much nicer than anticipated, did not feel like the loosy-goosy American Muscle I was expecting. Don’t get me wrong, she’s loaded with power and I’m sure you could get yourself in trouble very quickly, but was a smooth drive for the most part.
I’m almost through the first CfS cycle, the ‘end‘ is in sight. But for now, I’m gonna’ call it a day. Cheers everyone!

Made an 800PP endurance car to clear some of the events I haven't done yet. With yet another variation of my suitable livery:
Hard tyres so no need to stop and fuel lasts ages as well (Watkins glen 800pp, still have 1/2 laps of fuel after 10 laps on fuel map 1). inters and wets are also available.
The downside to this car is short technical circuits. The car needs speed and long sweeping corners to be at it's advantage.
I wonder if I should put up my other liveries somewhere at some point?

After my daily grind at Sardegna today in the CLK_LM
bought a Vulcan 2 days before my invite expired.Went and bought race softs for it and went to trail mountain where man does it handle well. Its up there with 918 and 911 GT1 for my favorite road car. Took to Sardegna, fuel economy on 6 is really bad and quit after one lap when I saw it wouldnt last even 4 laps there. Wish we could buy fuel cell for non races cars.
Finished up with sport mode trying to get to A+. Like 80 percent there...

I was going to take the 220 out to Tokyo but I think I need to buy another for that so I went to the LeMans 30 min. I started off on Race Softs and got to 1st before the rain came at end of lap 2. I switched out to IMs and fell back to like 16th but I was able to get back in 1st but unfortunately I didn't manage my fuel properly so I ended pitting again. I came out in 7th and I had a few chances to catch up but I was too agressive and ended up in 10th. I won like 220K and CRB so I wasn't too upset because I should just came out on IMs used them the whole race. I know next time. I got a 5 star ticket and I actually got 100K from it. I went Tomica Town and did a couple of scapes with 220 & Escudo

Logged on to do my daily marathon. I've been doing Daily B on and off through the week, so decided to catch Daily C. Did a 2 lap qualifier session that resulted in a qualifier good enough for 2nd on the grid. I have no idea why I'd avoided race C all week as I love Monza.
Started 2nd. 1st and I had broken away from the pack by the end of lap 1 by a few seconds. Had some very good racing with 1st, they knew it was smarter to surrender the position if they ran wide, tuck in behind me and pass coming upto parabolica or on the start/finish straight, and I didn't fight either. We both benefitted from the other person's draft in areas we weren't faster. Due to some dumb track infraction penalties though, I lost touch with 1st, but not before reaping the benefits of smart racing.
Finished 2nd, 4 seconds behind 1st. 3rd place finished 18 seconds after me.

Sarthe, Sardegna and Spa grind.
Cashed in 3 tickets: Veyron, Hellcat Charger and titanium rods & pistons for Amuse 350Z.
Modified existing liveries for Tundra and SC430 GT500.
Purchased and tuned the LCD Alfa Romeo Gr.4 car to use at Sarthe.
Ran Trial Mountain Cup with Mustang Gr.3 road car with absolutely zero assist for fun and got clean race bonus on both but was reminded how much I like ABS.
Purchased the Ferrari Gr.3 for tune and make livery for at later date.

Got the Group 4 Alfa from the Legendary dealership and proceeded to run Le Mans with it. The Lambo in that race was flying but I managed to pull away and win by 11 seconds. Then managed to set a new personal best run at Sardenga at 25:08, a whole 16 seconds faster. Also bought the Vulcan the other day after seeing it nearly beat me in one of the Hypercar races I re ran, quite a nice car to drive. Won't do any grinding this week though, gonna be on vacation starting tomorrow.

Got F'd by the Roulette. Twice.
Decided to complete Menu 43 - Neoclassic. Final race on Fuji, weather radar tells me I have heavy rain coming on the 20km map, will be on me before the end of the next lap, so I pit. Driving into the pit and the rain starts, watch the pit crew throw on the intermediate tires in the rain. Come out of the pits and the weather is dry... Check the weather map, only place I see any sign of rain is on the 100km weather radar, and that's now heading south - not towards the track. F. Okay. 5 laps on intermediate tires when everyone else is on racing hards?! Yeah, I can do this. End of the race and they're done. I'm sliding all over the place. But I win and collect my ticket. And I win... A freaking carbon fiber prop shaft for a Dodge Hellcat Safety Car... I don't own the car and don't want that car.
!
Okay. That's fine. Not a waste of time. I got a 4* ticket for the daily marathon and for that I win... A carbon prop shaft for the Toyota S-FR Concept. Yay! I also don't own nor do I want that car!

Picked up all 3 Vipers for the extra menu. Not cars I'd ordinarily buy but I'm glad I did. The 2002 GTS is surprisingly good.
To earn their keep I've run two of them at Tokyo ('02 slightly modified the other bone stock) and aiming to do the SRT next time I'm online. Must confess I enjoyed the 02 so much I ran it twice for a cool 1.65M.
Also been running the Chilli Pepper Clubman Cup+ with different cars where applicable - the Mini and the 550s. The Yaris with a Racing Tranny and Stage 3 Weight Reduction is all that was needed for Tsukuba which is one of the trickiest events I've found. The Mini's a nice little earner for 3 minutes work but more importantly its a competitive run as Brown in the red Mini is running NOS and puts the pressure on big time in the last sector of the final lap. My car is built, no NOS of course.
Going to pick up the Alfa 155 but after the recent DLC drop (extra menus) and the TOMs Supra (and glitched colour switched DB5 that I had to have in black) just before that, feel I need to get some usage out of the cars I've bought before adding more. Tend not to buy unless I want/like. The Alfa should be around for about a week.

One key aspect of that chicane is finding the exact right braking point. For me, the signs on the left are my markers. Go full speed over the straight a dozen times untill you have the exact braking point. Now get the turn in right. The right turn has to be tight to get the best exit on the left hander. Don't be too ambitious in the chicane, it is very slow and any imbalance on the exit is going to cost you dearly.

This morning did my daily Le Mans WTC 700 stint on an 787B-swapped RX7; however this time instead of the most popular tunes out there that makes the car looks like a dirt rally one, I trusted my instincts and made a tune for myself to my liking. No weight reduction, no ballast, just the usual FC suspension, LSD, Transmission and racing brakes and pads, body rigidity and full downforce. Was very surprised on first; no rain (!) and second, did the whole race non-stop on FM1, shifting at 8,000 rpms (except lap 6 when I went half FM6 for conserving fuel), and the car ride beautifully! Even when it wanted to let loose it did so very gently. At leat to me. 
.
This is the tune I came up with, disclaimer: I'm not a pro-tuner nor have ever claimed to be one, just do my own things with all the knowledge gained by looking at other tunes and fine-tuning myself; although in my experience there's seems to be a base setup for all FR cars)
If you want to try and give feedback all the better!

Pretty good gaming sesh yesterday, had to tackle the Neo-classical CAFE BOOK, and was using the supra GT500 but it not quite on the pace yet. The front line cars are Le-mans car and this doesnt quite have the pace. I may need one of those vehicles.
I then did some CE and got all gold on FUJI as I love fuji since murdering that mission with the Skyline GT500 got me into a driving fit.
Then got all GOLD on the Tsukuba one with the EVO GR.4 which is turbo laggy and underpowered. But all good. Got a cool 1million coming up to 27mil credits now wooohoo.
Then I tried to tackle the Redbull Wet race while simulteanously watching the nations cup on GT TV Youtube and all the drama that unfolded there! Was very entertaining but the race itself was a total shambles with AI crashing my ass, and my tyre choices failing me in the Scooby BRZ GT300 '21.
Will try it again it today and see how I fair, now I know what tactic and pits I need to do.
Lastly, I got a really good time of 2:17 on TRIAL MOUNTAIN, the online time trial with CIVIC TYPE-R, gotta keep edging off those seconds.

I did the LeMans grind with the 220 again this time I started on IMs. Of course the rain didn't come to lap 5 after I switched to RS because there was no rain on the radar so I finished 16th. So next time I will just stay on IMs. Got a 4 star ticket and got 30K cr

I started with the Plus account, where I bought the road-going 1997 Civic and the E-type as they hit the UCD/Hagerty's (respectively) overnight. I then golded the Lake Maggiore CE for another Huracan GT3 off a 4-star workout roulette. Why couldn't this have come up 6 days ago just before I bought the first one?
I then bought the (2020) Mazda RX-VISION GT-3 CONCEPT even though I have the Stealth Model as part of the (week late) "pre-order", because, even though they're otherwise identical (the game even counts owning the Stealth Model as owning the base model), they do have different engine models, and the Brand Central version has a "hidden" 2020 model year. As a side note, only that car and the 2020 Toyota GR Yaris RZ "High Performance" have any differences between the dealership and "exclusive" models (the Anniversary Edition Yaris has 0.20 more PP, and like the Mazda, owning it counts as owning the "base" model). I also bought the Nissan GT-R Gr.B Rally Car to get through the N's of the 450,000-Cr. Brand Central club.
On the GTP account, I bought a 6th Yaris as the 4 I bought all underwent engine swaps, and the one I got for owning the AE edition isn't the same as the Brand Central version. I then used the detuned 962 C to lap the field (and 19th/20th twice; on the usual normal) at Sardegna in 24:55. The insulting all-cash 4-star Wheel of Despair gave the lowest-showing/lowest-possible 10,000 Cr. I still had enough to get the new-for-1.19 Maserati out of Hagerty's.
I then bought the (2020) Mazda RX-VISION GT-3 CONCEPT even though I have the Stealth Model as part of the (week late) "pre-order", because, even though they're otherwise identical (the game even counts owning the Stealth Model as owning the base model), they do have different engine models, and the Brand Central version has a "hidden" 2020 model year. As a side note, only that car and the 2020 Toyota GR Yaris RZ "High Performance" have any differences between the dealership and "exclusive" models (the Anniversary Edition Yaris has 0.20 more PP, and like the Mazda, owning it counts as owning the "base" model). I also bought the Nissan GT-R Gr.B Rally Car to get through the N's of the 450,000-Cr. Brand Central club.
