Only had an hour do took the Porsche 919 hybrid to Spa. Pretty easy win. Detuned to 799PP. Not too quick on the straights but immense through the corners. FM1 all the way. Really wouldn't need fuel as there's 28 laps in at the start. The rain was biblical. I'm sure I saw a driver called N.Oah.. In regards to driving in the rain in GT7, the physics seem broken. Go round a bend in the suggested gear, say 2nd at 50mph, and you'll stay on the track. Go around the same bend next lap in 3rd at 50mph, and you slide. Higher gears at slower speeds = lower torque = more traction. That's how you'd drive irl, so how come it's so different in a Simcade?. After all, it's the real driving simulator.
Am I wrong?
Anyhow, have a great weekend everyone. Great racing to you all.
TTFN.

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...

Some nice liveries in there man. Do you have the setups for them too?

Note to self - when you see N.Oah in the lineup, make sure you have full-wet tires available.

Could your throttle usage, driving line, or amount of wetness on the track been different in the second lap? I do know that the wetness level "break-point" for loss of traction is rather sudden.

It's the 1st time I've had rain since the update. As PD had changed the physics of tyre wear, I wondered if they'd changed the wet driving too. The only difference in the 2 laps was the gear usage at Bruxelles. During wet weather, the suggested gear is 2nd. Allowed the car to coast the corner. In the next lap, I had the same entry speed, but in 3rd. No throttle input. Allowed the car to coast, but slid off halfway round. Just seems strange that it works that way.

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.

Good to know that cars spend 48 hrs as 'Limited stock'. As such, I got my 4th GT-R this evening after doing the Spa 24 hr race twice back-to-back (ooft), but I'm happy with 4 GT-Rs now. Ideally I would have 5, but I can't even contemplate another two 1 hour races tonight, not least as my bottle of wine has evaporated a tad in the last hour or so.

The 1999 JGTC season had 4 NSXs, 5 GT-Rs and 7 (!?) Supras (albeit two with the same livery). I've currently got 3, 4 and 1 respectively, so it will be a bit of a shift when the Supra re-appears in the LCD, but in fact the Supra RZ does a very good job of filling in for the GT500 Supra, so I may not need to fork out for 7 GT500 Supras. Then, all I need is the McLaren F1 GTR (which I think is a cool 9 million...) or more than 11x the price of the NSX GT500, and more than 3x the GT-R - which for a car that didn't really make much impact in the season is quite pricey, but I already know that I will have to have it eventually...

I prefer to grind the half-hour Meta Three because...half hour. Yeah, the Sardegna race is under 1.5 million if one has exactly an hour (give or take a lap) while Tokyo and Sarthe are over 1.6 million in that (roughly) one hour (Tokyo under, Sarthe over), but considering Sardegna is completely dry and its 2-race payout of just under 1.5 million is doable in less than 52 minutes (with not-close races), that is the easiest grind of the 4.

The Hagerty's rotation was, at a minimum, shaken up post-1.20, so we can't tell what's coming when at the moment. The bad news - the 1997 McLaren will be 10 million Cr. (same price as June-August), though that price is more due to the fact it ran Le Mans in 1997 and took its class (and 2nd, and 3rd, overall) than that it ran JGTC.

It's the 1995 McLaren that will be 11 million Cr. (again, same price as June-August).
 
On the GTP account, as the Jaguar D-type came in because I started late, I had a decision to make - grind one more race for the McLaren or grab one of the three cheaper Hagerty's cars I don't already own. If I grabbed the D-type, I almost certainly wouldn't be able to get the McLaren before it disappears, but at least it likely would be back in about a month after selling out. If I grabbed the McLaren, I'd be risking not being able to get back to 6,000,000 Cr. before the D-type disappeared again for another 2 months, especially if one of the other two, cheaper, cars came back...and it's likely that the Mark IV will do so.

Before I made my choice, however, I hit Sarthe with the NSX Gr.B (with custom transmission and no other changes). It was the ugliest race I ever ran. The rain started at the end of lap 2, and I smartly came down for full-wets. It stopped by the end of lap 3, which is when the bulk of the field came down for intermediates after being hopelessly spun out

Lap 4 is where things started to go wrong - as the track was drying, I came down for RH tires. That was a horrible decision as the rain came back in the middle of lap 5, which combined with my equally-stupid decision to stay out, fully erased a minute lead by the middle of lap 6.

I was little more than a roadblock for Haywood through the second half of the lap, even as the track was drying. Then, fortune smiled on me as Haywood pitted. Unfortunately, I couldn't just wait out the clock as Kevelham didn't pit, but as the track was almost dry and I had good tires, I gapped him by 21 seconds on lap 7.

OF COURSE the 4-star Wheel of Despair landed on the lowest-possible 10,000 Cr. That sealed my decision - I got the D-type, after changing the now-normal oil on and washing the NSX. I still have just under 2,400,000 Cr., so maybe if the 787B and Mark IV don't show up, I could still get the McLaren before it sells out.

On the Plus account, I took the Red Bull Junior to Sarthe for another weird weather race. I once again tried for a no-stop/8-lap run (FM4), and things were good until lap 5, when it started to open up. I had to pit, as did everybody else, for IM tires, and instead of getting to at least the Porsche Curves on lap 7 before time ran out, I only got to the first Mulsanne chicane on lap 7. Oh well; a win's a win, but the lowest-showing cash prize on the 3-star Wheel of Not Despair was the second-highest possible 100,000 Cr. I grabbed the Gr.1 version of the Bugatti VGT to complete the B's portion of the 1,000,000 Cr. Brand Central logjam, as well as the Bugatti collection.
 
Did the Group 2 Time Trial on Interlagos in the CLK-LM and achieved the gold time in about 15 minutes. Easiest soo far but I fear that my time isn't good enough to stay in the 3% bracket. I also did the WTC800 race on Sardegna A and the WTC600 race on Tokyo Expressway East twice.
 
Uploaded some scapes and race photos while out for dinner. Back home perusing :gtplanet: :cheers:

edit: gotta do daily mileage for a good ticket hopefully.

Workout tickets, caught up on auto plus inventory. I'm not feeling real well today, but I'm getting around. The tickets were for 30,000 Cr and a 5.0 Coyote crate motor.

Some of you might remember that I tried to match the Cayman GT4 RS lap time that Porsche set. I actually went back and watched their lap video and the "long course" time was actually 7:09.3xx. (not 7:05 like I thought, that was the "short course") My time ended up being a 7:13 on SS tires and I wasn't sure how I was going to take off more time. That was before the recent update and the physics change. So I gave it another shot tonight and got pretty damn close multiple times, but the car actually started off being WAY too fast with only a few minor changes. I think that physics change gave it a lot more grip. Because of this I had to tone it down by switching to SM tires. Then I got nerdy precise on the weight figures, and made a few more changes that I will go into later when I post a separate thread for it as I have a lot more info to share, including the final lap time and a split screen comparison video. Keep an eye out for that in a day or two. :)

Got a Birthday Present even though it's not my birthday - which is odd as I put my real DOB in when registered.

Very nice format, go to the Cafe and a few of the talking heads wish you happy birthday, one makes you a cake and then you get your prize..... mine was a Peugeot RCZ Gr. 3 Road Car, which saves me buying it.

Very nice touch, thanks PD.

Continued my all-Honda road car race livery project by putting the Kenwood NSX-R GT1 from Le Mans onto the Integra Type R '98 eith FK8 engine swap. Then took it out for a few races around Autopolis and a time trial at SSRX... then crashed out because Friday.

The "birthday" present is available for a 4-week window centered on your birthday. At least you got a car you don't already have.
 
On the Plus account, I took a stock Ferrari F430 to Tokyo now that it falls under 600 PP. It isn't quite as good as the 2006 Ford GT, which also fell to under 600 PP in the 1.20 update, but a 1-stop (on lap 7, fuel only, FM1) run of 27:47 was good for a closer-than-expected win. That and the low-showing 30,000 Cr. from the 4-star Wheel of Despair let me buy the (2025) Chaparral Chaparral 2X VGT.

On the GTP account, I tried to see if the aero-tuned Corvette C7 was still the cheapest way to win even though it lost almost 5 PP in the 1.20 update, and it is, though it is more of a handful than before. The 4-star Wheel of Despair was the same low-showing 30,000 Cr.

I then turned a few laps in this week's WRS at Big Willow, and called it a day.
 
Did WTC700 Le Mans and bought the Aston Martin VGT for the WTC600 Tokyo race. It apparently is a very good car to use, second to the Alpine A220.

Gonna try grinding for the MP4 tomorrow before it leaves the LCD, which I feel is soon.
 
I have been trying to find liveries from shutoku battle and I have not been disappointed so far, I have gotten half of the 13 devils and some of the 13 zodiac members and some wanderers so I can do a tokyo xtreme racer photo shoot in daikoku scapes lolol kind of mad Nagoya is not in the game, I love the west corvette and wanted to recreate some pictures seen in the intro but I’m still on the hunt for some Nissan gtr500 for “the emperor” car or jintei 🤣🤣🤣 Im that guy lololol
 
Got my trophy for 50 sports races after 52 (?!) Sports races. As this was the last trophy I needed, I also received the platinum trophy :cheers:
This is the first time I earned platinum, so I am happy and satisfied 🥳😇👑
 
I did a 30 min Custom Race - 1999 JGTC grid at Fuji - and won, and it was a satisfyingly close and (mostly) realistic race, even though the NSXs didn't pit, but that did make for a very close finish. I need to play with the settings a bit as I'd like to engineer it so that the top cars all pit once, but that it remains a close race.

And I earned a rare 5-star ticket, and even more rarely actually won something good with it - a La Ferrari :D
 
On the Plus account, I fought fire with fire at Sardegna, only with a slightly-different pit and fuel management strategy. While I used the white rabbit Dodge Viper GT3-R, I set the FM at 3 and did a 2-stop (for both fuel and tires) strategy for an easy win. The all-cash 5-star Wheel of Almost-Despair gave the lowest-possible/3rd-lowest showing 100,000 Cr., which gave me just enough to get the worst VGT - the Daihatsu.

On the GTP account, I dragged the old Sardegna grinder, a Tomahawk S for which I long forgot from who I borrowed the tune, out of retirement. In the past, I could set FM6 and run a no-stop race in about 26 minutes. No more - the front tires gave up the ghost fully on lap 14, requiring me to pit for a fresh set. I could see if I could tune out the understeer to make the front tires last (the rear tires still had half their tred), but since the 962 C and the 2008 GT500 cars are faster, probably not.

Speaking of 2008 GT500 cars, the 6-star Wheel of Despair gave me a second 2008 NSX GT500. I took it as a sign to try a few more laps on the WRS time trial.
 
Today I reached a milestone with 160 wins at Sardegna without a yellow flag.:P That is equivalent to 164 million credits! Done so with approx. 60 different cars. So many fun stories along the way. Anyone else have happen during that race where AI car goes only 46 mph (74 KPH) and gets lapped 5 times? this has happened 6 times now. Sometimes the cars are all bunched up in line on the straight away. Was interesting to watch the replay in the car it would happen to. Usually around lap 5 or 6. BTW this is my first post here. I subscribed to a YouTube channel that has weekly the fastest money methods to bring credits. https://www.youtube.com/c/naffantait
Has helped me so much. This guy "naffantait" (don't know his real name) has a easy going voice with a British accent that is incredibly easy to listen and understand.

Best,

Today I checked if the Porsche Gr3 became OP (BOP) after the changes they apparently made, and yes, the Porsche seems OP.
Before it was very good on corners and kinda slow on straights, now its very good on corners and fast on the straights. 😅

They should nerf it again...

Purchased the Ford GT40 MK1 and converted it to the widebody + a Gulf racing livery and purchased a second Carrera GT as my voucher ran out today for the exclusive cars; my first one was converted to a widebody before I knew it couldn't be reverted as I got it around the first time I had the game. Had over $10,000,000 saved up but now am down to $2,500,000 still grinding for my second MP4/4 unless the CLK-LM or one of the F1 GTRs show up, I should be at $8,000,000 in a few hours.
