Won the 1 hour Spa race with the F-XX-K. It was a bit of a nail biter. As the race wore on the car got harder and harder to manage. I won by 6.7 seconds.
CLOSE!!

Oh, I know. I just don't want to dedicate 90 minutes to a grind on a single account.
To put it another way, while I only need 29 cars on the Plus account, the 262,850,000 Cr. those 29 cars cost in Hagerty's is about 9,000,000 Cr. more than what the 429 unique cars (including the RX-VISION Stealth, and the two 25th-anniversary specials as separate cars) and 36 duplicates cost to replace.

I hate post like that telling someone they should do this race like if that person knows how many times one as done the said race.
Like when I was told to do Sardegna to buy this said car a race I done so many times I need a 1000 page book to write down the number. I bought the gr10 just for that race and so far I put over 5k miles just from grinding in Sardegna.

- today I had the time to kill. I worked on tuning my Silva S15 (suspension and lsd) and test drove It at Kyoto and Trial Mountain. Also tried to set up an one make custom race at deep forest reverse. Only to find out that I gotta have other 19 Silvias and slap other 19 liveries on them and also copy the settings in each cars in order to have a proper grid.
There's fun in this game, but not before some grind.

Don't think it's meant in patronising/negative way, just to give some perspective that its not that far out of grasp. Assuming person doesn't know your history/back story.
If the recipient wants to take offense, get annoyed, that's their issue... assuming the 'asvisor' wasn't rude.
But then again, many people (men in particular) don't always take well to unsolicited advice...

Back to back Le Mans with the Ferrari 330 to make sure I finished just in time for kick off in the Liverpool game (its the one car where I always finish close to the 30 minute mark).
Something different from my 4 star daily workout though.

On the GTP account, I found the engine-swapped Silvia Touring Car too thirsty for Sardegna. After tweaking the power, downforce (maxed) and transmission (partly because of the power difference, partly because the GT-R NISMO engine has a lower redline), it dominated a dry Sarthe, though the fuel consumption is terrible, and the rear RH tires burn off before the end of the race. A fuel map of 6 barely makes it 3 laps, and I had to change tires on lap 5.
I went back to Sardegna with the Peugeot RCZ Gr.3. I barely won a mileage race, thanks mostly to Beauvois pitting on lap 14 and a backmarker holding up Portilla.
The usual 3-star Wheel of Despair gave me the 2nd-best prize available, another VW Scirocco. It could have been worse - both the 5,000-Cr. and 10,000-Cr. options, as well as what I believe was a full-custom suspension, were also on the wheel. I could have used the 30,000-Cr. option though.
On the Plus account, I used a detuned BMW M3 GT to dominate at Sarthe, I continued the outmatching at Sardegna with the 2008 Lexus SC430 GT500, lapping the field (with help from Mendoza's Lap 14 pit).
The usual 3-star Wheel of Despair gave another Lexus - this time the RC F Gr..4. I flipped it for 89,550 Cr.

The more I race the more I love this .. SO, here I am in the middle of the night, early morning if you may, broke out my prize Enzo ( just attatched the wide-body) & decided to take it for a spin at the Trial Mountain Hyper for a cool 100k (eh, what's 10mins. ??)..
.. this car just kills it!
.. IMO, had my best race ever!.. seriously, clean as could be.. PS4/DS4, just cruised the race like I didn't have a care in the world.. check it..
Edit/Update: Went from the original race with 1 minor wall scuff to an hour later with no scuffs & just blistered the field silly..
.. between the RUF & the Enzo.. smh.. decisions decisions.. LoL..
.. yeah, solid way to end 22 and start 23! .. again, love this game!!!!

Same. I've only got Monza so far but I'm working on Nurb now. Even when I know the track, sometimes I struggle with the car. I thought that oval would be easy but I can't tame the concept Corvette.
I got the engine swap ticket for the NSX bonus menu and got a Mazda 727whatever motor. Neat.

Engine swapped a DeLorean, put a nice livery on it, widened it and put wide/wide rims on it, put a body kit and wing on it, then took it to the Spa 800.
It's actually not difficult to drive at all! It drives a lot like the Escudo did in the World Series repechage. Yes it will overload the assists, but that's not an issue.
I wasn't paying attention to the weather, though, and that cost me an extra pit...and the lead. I also had a bad spin towards the end. Where I went, I didn't need roads.
The car is insanely fast. One that baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious stuff. I don't know why in tarnation anyone would wanna go that fast though.
Also won the same race with the Zonda R. It's a little thirsty and I did a full lap out of fuel but still won.
Gonna try it with the MP4/4 at some point and drive by instruments on that one. I still gotta try some others, too, like the Chiron. I've won with the '99 GT500 on both Pennzoil and Loctite-Zexel livery, but I haven't done the Calsonic livery yet.
Oh, I also did up a Ford Roadster in some Oklahoma specific livery, which is a bit lacking. I worked a bit trying to make some Sonic Drive In decals but haven't really gotten a grasp of it. I think it would work if I added that, some Braum's livery, and some OSU logos. Only real football teams go on my car, so that leaves the Cowboys and the Energy.

On the Plus account, I grabbed the A220 Race Car for a somewhat-wet Sarthe race. The 4-star Wheel of Despair went back to normal and the lowest-possible 10,000 Cr.
On the GTP account, the last push to the Porsche 917K was the Cayman Clubsport at a soaked Sarthe. The new-normal 3-star Wheel of Despair didn't help any, spewing out the lowest-possible 5,000 Cr. as usual. However, I am still the proud owner of a 1970 Porsche 917K, the 5th-most-expensive car in GT7, and likely to be part of a 6-way tie for the most-expensive come February (assuming none of the five 20,000,000-Cr. unicorns increase in price).

I got disqualified from the last race for excessive penalties despite not having any penalties…. I was pushed off the track at Daytona Race C, no response from joypad and I’m out…. Something smells fishy here

Ran LeMans with the R92CP. Frugal with tires and fuel. Ran a custom race at Spa using the R92CP. Got another 5k from the wheel.

Did Sardegna with the Silvia at about 720 PP. Ran 12 for most the time with some good mid pack racing and finished 8th. Picked up about 100K with the bonus. Then got down to 7:01 on the TT and won some worthless part I'll never use in the lottery.

Lost the clean race bonus at LeMans 30 mins for passing under yellow. The car I passed caused the yellow with a crash in the wet and was off in the gravel trap.
Guess I was supposed to wait until he unbeached himself.
At least I got 30K from the daily ticket. BONUS!

Happy New year folks.
- I golded the CE at Tokyo expressway (the one with a BMW) that middle sector.... Urgh.
- Bought a Cayman GT4 and completed 2 World Touring Cars 700 events (Autopolis and Dragon Trail gardens) and made a livery for It.
- The wheel gave some part for a Nissan GTR.

On the Plus account, I used the old white Ford GT to dominate at Sardegna. I did have to feather the throttle a bit to make it 5 laps on fuel though. The all-cash 4-star Wheel of Despair spat out the low-showing/lowest-possible 10,000 Cr. New year, same wheel.
On the GTP account, I did the Sardegna domination with the Aston Martin DBR9 to begin refilling my bank account after buying the Porsche 917K yesterday. Naturally, the Porsche invite from the 4-star Wheel of Despair didn't help any.
