My Scape hit 2000 likes some time recently... still can't quite believe it has been the #1 trending Scape on GT7 for the last week or so, and it's my 2nd Scape to be featured in the last two lots of featured Scapes. Meanwhile, the rest of my Scape collection is averaging fewer than 20 likes each 
edit: ...and just in time too, as the 'Recommended' Scapes page was updated overnight.
Somewhat annoyingly, the new tranche of Recommended Scapes contains 41 Scapes, but 7 of them are from the same person...

Did Sardegna again saving up for my second MP4/4, also plan on saving up for a 4th F1 GTR 1997, 3rd CLK-LM and 3rd F1 GTR 1995, gonna be spending a few hours each day grinding up to 5-7 million.

Only played on the new account today. Completed menu 37, rally cars. Got a 4 star ticket of dispondency which revealed 1 million credits 😁, meanwhile, the 5 star Daily workout ticket revealed 100,000. Go figure 🤷♂️.
Gold on Suzuka and Catalunya CE.
Need practice for the Spanish GP on Catalunya GP circuit in Sundays Discord group race using the SF19 cars. Not going well.

Made a new livery for the GTR'99 GT500:
This was the car that I first used on Sport in GT7 that had a dedicated livery and today decided to evolve it.
I'm not saying I make perfect liveries but I'm always trying new little bits here and there for my 'team' cars.

Can anyone quickly tell me is the Pennzoil Nismo GT-R showing in the LCD with 'Limited Stock' yet?

No.
To both questions: it isn't, and 48 minutes isn't quickly 😬

I took my little 500 at a race! Did well, scored 2nd place in a 500pp lobby.
Livery's changed a bit because I'm feeling a little bit patriotic, now it has the number 14 and some green
!
Suits quite well, doesn't it?
Also I think I nailed the setup, the car feels grippy and nimble with the Sports Tyres.

To add to @Famine's answer, @ddm has a site on which he has the current Hagerty's lineup, usually updated within an hour of its in-game update.
Edit - it went to "Limited Stock" with the midnight UTC update.

It was a Tokyo day. On the Plus account, where I used the KTM X-BOW (on normal difficulty), Gallo had an unusually-quick run in the NSX after short-pitting for his second stop on lap 8, and I had to block the last 2 laps to eke out a 0.078-second win in 27:54. The pace was good enough for a normal win, and the fuel/tire wear more than good enough for a no-stop run. The 6-star engine roulette gave me a Silvia engine, which I didn't have before now, while I had enough cash to get the (2014) BMW VGT.
On the GTP account, I brought my grinder R33 out of retirement for a more-or-less normal win. Gallo had another unusual pit stop sequence, pitting on laps 6 and 10 instead of his usual 5 and 9. The 4-star Wheel of Despair gave a low-showing 30,000 Cr., which leaves me just under 1.2 million Cr. short of getting the McLaren MP4/4. If the Mazda 787B or the Jaguar D-Type don't come up tomorrow, I should be able to get it in 2 days.

1 minute to download the Update, 30 minutes to copy the file 
Bang went my plan to do a WTC700 race before work. That leaves me this evening to make 1.7 million Cr to buy a car that will disappear from the LCD for another several weeks.

So I can report back with my findings after having run the whole Porsche series a couple of times. The Cayman GT4 is more than capable of easily winning this! I gave it FC suspension and a racing exhaust and slapped on some RH tyres and it easily destroys everything. In the races with rain (Nurburgring, Spa) I have W and SS tyres ready to go and they work well. Thank you for your recommendation. It was well worth the money!!

Today i've switched to manul gear shifts.
I installed extremerate rise 2.0 metal padels on my controler. It's way easier than the x and rectangle buttons. feels like the real thing.
I'm still struggling (it shows in my lap times). But it feels that i am much more in controle. it will take time.

Hahaha. The one thing I despise with gaming these days is the random updates. I can’t count on my fingers how many times me and the gang decided we’re going to game one night, only to find we all have like 4-7hr updates.1 minute to download the Update, 30 minutes to copy the file

On one hand I appreciate the changes that can be made to a game to fix it, but the game-night-update-blocking gets old and some of the call of duty games get so many updates it almost changes the game you originally bought. I thought I was buying a war game?!? I just saw a huge white and pink bunny with a gun pepper my teammate with an LMG then he turned and got me with a rocket launcher with a rainbow smoke trail? Wtf. Lol. Oh look there goes that guy from Scream and following him is some guy with a pumpkin on his head. 🙄

Today I:
- Lost my saved replays after the update. No big deal, just annoying.
- Bagged Cr.2m for ending up 1,233rd out of the 116,372 drivers who competed in the Dragon Trail TT, 1.23% off the 1st placed time.
- Topped up the credit tank in readiness for the 5 cars I still need, all from LCD; who knows when they'll appear as the order seems more random now; Alfa 8C 2900B Lungo Berlinetta, Aston DB3S, McLaren F1 GTR Race Car, MB 300SL W194 and the Ferrari 250 GTO CN.3729GT.
- Found reason to doubt the efficacy of the code that restricts wallet size to Cr.100m limit. Attempts to take it beyond the extra Cr.50 failed. 🤔

Only free credits (those you earn and win) are limited to 100,000,000cr. Any paid credits (pre-order bonuses, microtransactions) are unlimited.
If you check your balance you'll see you have some paid credits remaining.

Okay, that makes sense. I've not bought credits through microtransactions, so must be the Cr.100k I got with the game (I think that was the number you got with the disc PS4 version).
Odd that it would not have been used yet, given I've spent Cr.358,716,722 on cars and Cr.3,179,435 on tuning. It must be kept at the 'bottom of the barrel' on a first-in-last-out basis, so that unless you go to zero, you'll always have some.
EDIT: Just looked at the Balance Details and it does say "Free Credits will be spent first".

I decided to switch my workday today for a half-day and make up the time on Saturday, mainly so I could buy another GT-R GT500 before it vanishes from the LCD tonight (thanks @Famine and @Eggstor for the information!!).
Somewhat unbelievably, not one but two old friends invited me out for a beer this week, both of them wanting to speak to me about jobs etc., and I arranged to meet one last night and the other tonight; not knowing, of course, that this would make reaching my goal of buying two GT-R GT500s this week rather difficult.
So, firstly I did the WTC700 at Le Mans, which has definitely become alot harder - for the first time ever I came 3rd, and effectively dropped 0.5 million in the process. I was so annoyed that I was considering not bothering to do the WTC800 at Spa, not least since my last attempt at Spa ended in disappointment as well (2nd place thanks to dodgy weather and the AI making a curiously wise choice of inters even though it was bone-dry... and then it rained again).
But I did it anyway, using a slightly over-powered car this time (the Lexus GT500) and won by a country mile - infact, it was the first time ever that I've done the race as a one-stopper. 7 laps on RH/Fuel Map 1, rain imminent on the radar as I stopped to pit to refuel, changed to IMs and stayed out for some 17 laps in a mixture of pretty heavy race, a few laps of no rain, then more mid-to-heavy rain again, then a couple of dry laps at the end. Stayed on Fuel Map 6 during the wet spells, but cranked it up to 1 for the dry spell, but the Inters held on well (which is how the AI won the previous race, basically...), but I was amazed that I could do a 17 lap stint and lap the entire field (indeed, I lapped all but the next fastest 3 cars twice).
All in, I got 1.83 million for 1.5 hours driving, and enough to buy me my third GT-R GT500, which was duly added to my 1999 JGTC Custom Race grid(s), adorned with the 1999 Nismo Arta/Zexel livery of Aguri Suzuki.

Tried, for the umpteenth time, to get a clean race bonus in the Hypercar race at LeMans. Just ain't going to happen!
The last race today (using the Lambo VGT, which creams it) was flawless, except I got bumped from behind, once.... not my fault, but lost the CRB because of it. Trial Mountain is just as unforgiving.

A bit of a deviation from the topic at hand. I'd like to say that I completed some drifting circuits today, I'm horrible at it.
Does anyone have a tutoiral that they'd recommend?

Did a few races with torrential rain and was surprised to see some orange and yellow show up on the radar. I was never directly under it, but it was there in small spatterings around the track.

Logged in for the update. Certainly didn't expect anything beyond the noted fixes but still hoped for a possible surprise. Then hopped in the VGT tomahawk I have setup for top speed to quickly get the daily ticket on the test track hoping for a new engine. Won 10k lol. Will continue to lurk this forum for news and revisit the game next update.

Finally managed to beat the Dirt Champions race @ Colorado Springs to finish off the single player stuff in World Circuits (was the only one I didn't gold yet). Used some of the credits from the online time trial to buy the Delorean from the used car dealership. Now to start saving for the MP4/4 and the 3 legendary cars.

Today I went to the next The Human Comedy mission. And it was at Kyoto Driving Park. And my car was a little unsual: Tundra TRD Pro with Lexus GT3 swaped engine. And it was better than I expected! On lap two I was at second place, pushing the first car. I had some battle with the first car, and after I adapted to the car, I started to open a confortable distance. This is so good at fuel comsuption, It was not necessary to refuel. The only pit stop that I made was at 40 minute, just to change the hard tires.
It was so much fun to do it, this car slide the rear when the tires is worn, and its really fun to control the rear and make some drifts.

On the GTP account, despite the need to pit for tires on lap 8, I stomped the field at Sardegna in the Praiano-tuned 962 C in 24:59. If memory serves, that's the fastest I ever completed that. Of course, the 4-star Wheel of Despair couldn't cooperate, as it gave me the lowest-possible 10,000 Cr. to leave me less than 450,000 Cr. short of the McLaren MP4/4.
On the Plus account, I (re)discovered the detuned (don't remember from whom I got the tune) Escudo isn't well-suited for Sardegna. 5 laps per stop, a tire change on lap 10, and 25:52 later (after coasting to the finish), I did have the win though, as well as the lowest-possible 5,000 Cr. on the 3-star Wheel of Despair. I did pick up the (2015) Bugatti Bugatti VGT.

Worked on two more liveries for an all-Honda road car race using liveries from JTCC and JGTC cars. The night before I had made the KOOL Accord '97 livery on the Integra Type R '98, and last night I made the ARTA NSX '04 livery on the Civic Type R '97 and the Team STP Civic Ferio JTC livery on the Civic Type R '98 (with FK8 engine swap). I also realised I didn't have the FK2 Civic so I went and bought a couple of those.
Then I jumped into the ARTA Civic Type R and drove it around Suzuka for 10 laps against 9 other Hondas, to test out my custom race settings. It was a fun race where the lead car (the FK8-swapped EK Civic) disappeared out to 35 secs ahead of me by running lap times 10 secs faster than my best, but then decided to stop racing and let me catch him up. Ended up running some sketchy final few laps trying to get past the lead car and only just snuck through on lap 10!
Tonight I'm thinking I'll do the Playboy EG9 on the EK Touring Car and the Ebbro NSX on the S2000...
