I made my first serious-ish livery.

Went to Spa to check out the glitched weather, and it is indeed glitched. Whenever it starts to rain, it instantly stops. There was not one part of the race where I had to switch to Wets.
I actually don't think the weather is glitched, it's just the radar. The weather is variable as ever I think.

Chuffed to score an Ultra-High RPM Turbo for my RE-Amemiya (one of my favourite cars in GT7).

Not sure, however, if I'll fit it as my Amemiya is optimised for 600PP on SMs.

I suppose I could fit it into a second Amemiya that I won via a roulette wheel a few weeks back and set that up on slicks for 600-700PP with a Gr.4 build in mind. Or go one better to use in WTC800 Events.

On the Plus account, I tried to get 8 laps in at Sarthe with the Red Bull Junior on a no-stop strategy. I was a bit conservative with the fuel mix, putting it at 4. The track was dry through lap 5, which is when I set my fast lap of 4:25.5. That wouldn't have been quite fast enough even if it didn't rain at the end of that lap and well into lap 6, eventually making it sketchy for racing slicks (but too late to pit for intermediates, and the track dried enough by the end of the lap to make it a moot point). Still, time ran out as I approached Indianapolis for the 7th time, and by the end, I still had well over 2 laps of fuel.

The 4-star marathon roulette gave me a second 2021 Toyota GR86 RZ, and I do have a Supra engine available. I did pick up the newer Lexus GT500, leaving me only the newer Nissan GT500 to get out of that class.

On the GTP account, after getting a few Panteras (RE! SPECT! WALK! WHAT DID YOU SAY?!), stuffing new engines in them and stretching out two, I decided the Camaro ZL1 would be a fine candidate for Sarthe. After buying the necessary tires (RH/Intermediate/Wet), a rear diffuser, hood pins and tow hooks (getting it up to 680.12 PP with the RH tires with aero otherwise untouched).

I was wrong. At full tilt, it won't even go 2 laps, and I had to short-shift at just over 6,000 rpm to make FM6 work for 3 laps, which left me off the pace at the first pit stop, with lap 2 at 4:25.

Fortunately, it had just started to rain...HARD, and I grabbed full-wet tires, while only the 4 backmarkers took intermediates, the others who pitted on lap 3 took their second sets of slicks, and Haywood stayed out. Three of the 4 on intermediates took 2nd through 4th by Mulsanne, while Lopez took 5th by Arnage. A couple of other former backmarkers stayed out on lap 4 on their second sets of slicks...not all of them by choice, while the former frontrunners came down for mostly intermediates (Portilla took full wets after a very adventurous 4th lap, and Haywood took a second set of RH tires) as the rain ended.

The track was dry enough for slicks in some spots by the end of lap 5, but nobody came down pit road. I could have parked it on lap 6, but I wanted to see what the Camaro would do full-tilt, so I grabbed a full load of fuel and RH tires. Kawakami, who put a second set of RS tires on lap 3 and stayed out lap 4, caught Lopez, the last of the ones who took intermediates on lap 3, at the Ford Chicane on lap 6. Meanwhile, Kokubun came across the line in 2nd at the 30:20 mark. The others who stayed out on lap 4 came in 6th through 9th. Portilla regretted his decision to take wet tires on lap 4 instead of lap 3, only gaining 1 spot (thanks to Haywood...more on that in a bit), and losing 3 spots after the Porsche Curves on his lap 6. Haywood spun out of 10th, where he came out of the pits because he didn't take tires, in the Dunlop Chicane, waiting until everybody else came through to rejoin the racing line, and finished last.

As for my 7th lap, I saw 193 mph at the braking zone for the first Musanne chicane, and went through 54% of the fuel in turning an out lap of 4:47.6. I tried to share the fun on the GTP_Eggstor PSN (it won't upload). The 3-star roulette gave the low-showing/2nd-highest possible 100,000 Cr.

Edit - I can't upload the replay.

First time ever experiencing a yellow flag at Sardegna for me, and I got 2 in the same race. Both time AI hit other AI leaving the pit. First I was exiting the last corner before the pit and 2nd time it happened right as I was passing the pit entrance and got a good view of it. I know this is common at Sardegna, and I’ve seen them crash here before but never personally experienced yellow flags as result, it’s usually just rear end but not massive spin outs.

I have no idea what you just did 😂
Anyway. Just a couple of le mans runs for me. Another with the lancia delta but spun on the fast lap, bugger. Then with a testarossa. Fastest car yet, almost made it to 8 laps on the trusted two stop strategy, though i would only have fuel for half a lap if i made it. Gonna try and be less conservative on the second stint to see if i can make it. Fastest lap 3:58.4. great car!
 
On the Plus account, after getting the Ford Roadster in its second appearance, I clubbed baby seals at Sardegna with the 2008 Lexus SC430 GT500. After getting a carbon ceramic brake kit for the LaFerrari from the 4-star workout roulette, I got the last of the 800,000-Cr. Brand Central cars, the 2016 Nissan GT-R NISMO GT500.

On the GTP account, I clubbed some more baby seals at Sardegna with the 2008 Honda NSX GT500, though not as many because the rear tires give up quicker and the fuel burns faster. After taking the usual lowest-possible/lowest-showing 10,000 from the 4-star workout Wheel of Despair, I tried this week's soaking wet WRS time trial, and it makes golding S-10 look easy. I think I managed maybe 3 clean laps out of 20, but I managed to save the best one of those before I set a faster dirty lap.
 
Today was good run on GT7 after a few days of not playing the game. Was good to come back into it as the weather here was unbearable to play it properly until today.

Firstly I tackled some Watkins glen CE and tried to improve my time on the Genesis runs. Got a bit better but have to keep cracking at it. Then did the Tsukuba Clubman cup race in my R34 Skyline, heavily detuned and ballasted but kept the NOS on. Didnt get it first try as the car was being all slippy, then tried a second time and got a 10second lead over the Porsche and Miata(MX-5), nice fun race.

Then proceeded to do some more CE's and tried to finish up the Le mans CE with the awesome Peugeot 908 HDI FAP, I noticed my skill getting better and nabbed a Gold for sector 3, now just need to finish the Lap attack and hopefully that will be in the bag soon.

Moved onto tackling the 30min Lemans race which I previosuly had 2nd place in, I severely detuned my Mazda LM55 GR.1 to compete against the slowish GR.4 cars of this race. It was really hiliarious to see that once I climbed to 2nd and then 1st positon, how strangely pogo'ed the Viper is in this race, the rubber banding is horrible as ****. PD need to tune down this alot.

Also when racing, a certain Mr R.Haywood, driving like a yank melon in a Lambo, decides to shunt me on my pit lane entry and get past me??? This was as I drive into the pit lane on Circuit de la Sarthe and he receives no penalty, I was like WTF, but whatever, I exacted my revenge as we exited a few corners later and then went on to WIN. Received a meaty 825,000 of credits for clean race even thought it was dirty, :D

Lastly, to finish off to round up my credits, I did a 3 Lap hot Arcade night race on Le-mans and this was amazingly fun. It made me realise away from the all the uptight racing seriousness and online racing craziy sheninagans, what a good game GT7 can be when you just keep it simple. I didn't win the race as the BOP was too restrictive for the Mazda, but I enjoyed it very much!!!

Broke into the 1:35 lap time for Sardenga, probably could've finished my daily run of the race in under 25 minutes if I didn't make a bunch of silly mistakes. Ended up getting a Group 4 Sirocco from the roulette. Also bought the 919 Hybrid and the Group 3 BMW for the Memento from the Nurburgring trophy.

Since I started awhile ago to add license plates to my road cars, today essentially went like this:

Aside from adding plates, I took the TT '03 out for a spin. First time in GT7. Not sure what to make of that car. It has both good and bad qualities about it.
 
One of my Scapes (my '98 ARTA NSX livery) just hit the #1 spot in 'Trending' Scapes this morning... I can't believe it, though it has been at #2 for several days.

I'm still waiting on the Pennzoil Skyline and Catrol Supra GT500s to re-appear in the LCD (though I recently missed the latter) as well as the Diablo in the UCD in order to complete my 1999 JGTC grid. I'm planning on holding a full JGTC season at 50% race distances, but will need to figure out how to make each race a close one, though rubber banding is going to make that difficult - however I'm going to start with the grid as it is - 9 GT500s and 11 GT300s. My last 'full' race was in a GT300 (in a Trueno :lol:) at Autopolis... and I won - normally I would be very happy with that, but in terms of being able to recreate accurate races, it was a bit disappointing.

I did LeMans with the Living Legend. I made some tweaks to my setup and used RH tires. It didn't rain but it was overcast for a lap. So I ended doing a quick pitstop for a splash of fuel. I finished in 1st with 0.1 laps left in my fuel tank. Got a 4 * ticket and got the gold bar.
 
As I didn't report in yesterday, here's what happened in the Discord group final race of the season, 1 hour at Le Mans. So looking forward to this race.
Love me an endurance race. Fuel and tyres were set at X10. Refuelling at 3 litres per second (an eternity), so I went RH, FM6 but FM1 down Mulsanne Straight. Doing OK, ran out of fuel at pit entry on 2nd pit stop. Guess who clicked "don't fuel"?. What a muppet. So ended up DNF. Finished 4th in the league. Decent results for me.
So in todays episode of GT7, I followed a tune from @Naffantait on YouTube for his Nissan Silvia aero s15 TC at LeMans. Pretty easy win. Not as easy as he made look tho. He has some good tunes. Check out his channel. The 4 star ticket of dispondency gave me an ultra high rpm turbo for a Bugatti Veyron. OK I suppose.
On the 2nd account, I completed the Ford and Chevrolet menu's. The 4 star ticket of dispondency for this gave me a Dodge Charger Hellcat. Its not all bad, is it?.
The 4 star ticket of dispondency for the daily workout was 30,000 credits (lowest on table). Yes it is.
