Added a 700pp tune for the '02 Viper GTS-R Racecar

And got 30k from the wheel of disparity
 
Did one grind at Sardegna, this time using FM4 instead of my usual FM6, and pitting at the end of lap 8 for more fuel than usually.

Improved my best lap obviously.

Many laps in the 1:39s, which was my best lap before.

Not so much in terms of total race time.

But I have to adjust to that new strategy, I know I can do better.

Bought the Mercedes before it is sold out at LCD

The wheel was full of parts plus an invite for Porsche (which I don't need anymore), got a Porsche 911 engine.

I now have every German car in addition to Japan and the US (except the Roadster) and just a handful of Italian cars as well. Still need more British French Korean and Other (aka the Gran Turismo brand). Did a round of Spa in the 962C and it rained a ton both times. Did a round of LM with the Aventador and was 9 seconds shy of doing an 8th lap which I’ve never managed to actually get to. There were quite a few rounds of Sardegna mixed in as well. Got a 4-star ticket that gave me carbon brakes for the new Supra.

You must lap under 4:00 to do so, right?
 
I was limited with my time last night so I took the Veyron to Tokyo. Got the CRB but got 10k from a 3* ticket. I thought about getting my 2nd invite Lambo but decided to save my credits for whatever is included in the upcoming update.
 
I did a bunch of Sardegna races this weekend, with a few Daytona and Watkins Glen WTC800 races thrown in for variety. Built my credit account to 22 million in preparation for some LCD cars to pop up that I want to buy back. I've been enjoying my little 964 RS a lot too. Its probably my favorite car dynamically to drive!
 
1. Finally I won Autopolis 1 hour mission (26 laps with the Honda S660) 🤩 - On my 1st attempt, I finished 2nd at less than 5 secs behind V. Gallo :irked: So, I was sure to have the good car and I was able to drive regularly in 2:25 (PB at 2:23:666). The 2nd attempt was the good one. Never give up!

2. Visited some friends in Le Mans, Sardegna and Spa ;)

3. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ roulette = an unuseful part for an unuseful car...

3. Bought 7 new Japan cars to complete my collection (see my signature)

Drove my tuned Nissan GT-R R33 and the Super Formula around the Nurburgring. I bought the Honda Civic EK Touring Car and took it to Bathurst. I then bought a BMW M4 and drove it around the Nurburgring GP track, after which I drove my standard E46 M3. I also drove the Mazda 787B around Sardegna B.

After taking yet another day off, I came back to Sarthe. On the GTP account, I used a Ford Focus Gr.B with a mild tune, and the FM mistakenly set all the way down to 6. It still was extremely quick - the fast lap was sub-4:20, and the fuel lasted 5 laps.

The 3-star Wheel of Despair didn't help much, spewing out the lowest-possible 5,000 Cr. Still, I bought a 2016 Audi R8 for this week's WRS time trial, even though I didn't enter last week's.

The first attempt on the Plus account with the Volkswagen Scirocco Gr.4 was a disaster as I was punted by Sugawara on lap 5 on my second out lap after doing a single lap on intermediates. The second run was better as I pitted for intermediates on lap 2 instead of lap 3. The Scirocco isn't too bad - it can do 1:20 laps in the dry, almost lasts 4 laps on fuel, I think it can do 7 laps on RH tires, and it's more stable in the wet than before.

Good news - I didn't get a 3-star Wheel of Despair tonight. Not-so-good - the 4-star Wheel of Despair gave the lowest-possible 10,000 Cr.
 
Yesterday now:

*Ran some 30 minutes of Le Mans races

*MNRL Slow night. Same the car wasn't that bad.

*Ran more Le Mans (started to notice the top 4 AI stopping for rain tires at the first sight of rain. Making for some only by 4ish second finishes)

*Bought the Mark Race Car. That got me to level 50.🏁

*Run more Le Mans Races with it and found it to be very good at that right out of the box. Just RM, IM & HW tires.

Today very am:

*Did a couple custom races at Le Mans. Worked out that the 30 min grind race is set to x6 for tires and fuel. Based on # of laps I would get with my Vipers and the Mark.

Today afternoon:

*Went and started up GT7 and popped into Sport to see what the TT was looking like and how long was left. Noticed that there was something about the GR championship. Clicked it only to have my PS tell me it had stopped gameplay record. I never wanted it to do that in the first place so 🤷 Google, help! 🤓
Anyway, now I know about it and how to transfer to a usb or delete things. I did find my GTS Laguna Seca time trial I completely forgot I had so, bonus.

And now I think I will hook a TB2 external hard drive to my PS4. Let's see what does for loading times. Save apps. 3 hours, wow okay. And then saved data.
So saved data however, the load time is noticeablely quicker.

All this because I couldn't save a replay last night and my PS went into recording mode all by itself. 🤦‍♀️

Why is this GT related you ask? Because I do have other games on it, GT is the only one I play.

*Time Trial with the Radical.

*Two Le Mans races to buy the LCD '59 Racing Corvette

Good job for the Ford Mark and the level 50 👍

Le Mans is a real cash machine and a peaceful race. As soon you are leading, the track is yours till the end with no risk of crash with AI cars.
 
I took the 962 to Sardegna then I took the Veyron to Tokyo. I got to lap 8 and I quit because I was starting to fall asleep while racing. I think I'm boted of the track/car combo and don't really like Tokyo anyway. So I'm going to just do Sardegna & LeMans. After I left Tokyo I went back to the 962 and added a turbo charger and it was still under 800 PP. I took it to LeMans classic for some hot lapping. Threw on some soft tires and went to town. I beat my previous record at that track by 7-8 seconds. Got up 237 mph going down Mulsanne. Now I'm going to have to take all my Group C cars there to see I can top that lap time. Got 100k from a 3* ticket
 
From late yesterday, drove exactly 150 miles in game lol never happened before! Grind Sardegna to replenish the bank a little bit, haven't been below 1 mil credits in a very long time. Bought all the Honda cars, grabbed the F40 and making small progress at collecting all the cars from the legendary dealership. Will be doing some more grinding to see if can get the 787B later today and maybe something else. Still need to Gold the CE for La Sarthe and St Croix to complete all the European tracks then I'll move on to Asia.
 
1. Visited some friends in Le Mans, Sardegna and Spa ;)

2. ⭐⭐⭐ roulette = won a Honda Civic R (FK8) and sold it immediatly.

3. Tested some cars on Lake Maggiore Gr. 3 championship (with the same BoP as the Human Comedy mission) but wasn't able to lap properly below 2:00. I must be more regular in the practicing to lap regularly around :1.58 / 1:57 if I want a chance to gold this fu**** race.
 
Tried to improve my CE times at Fisherman’s Ranch. Stage 5 kicks my butt. I’m either way to slow or so out of control I can’t get half way through it.
I go for gold on everything else except those rally stages, I'm ok to just bronze them and move on. I find them extremely infuriating to do so well done trying to improve your time!
 
Tried Sardegna pp800 again - this has definitely got tougher! But, the Merc CLK has changed from having just over 6 laps range to just over 7, which meant I could try a one-stop race, with a bit of fuel management, which I did, and won, but only by 5 seconds from that GR Supra..... need to try the others (pp800) and see if they are tougher too....
 
On the GTP account, I did the Sardegna grind with the Honda NSX GT500. The 4-star Wheel of Despair was just a bit kinder than usual, pushing out the low-showing 30,000 Cr.

On the Plus account, I took the Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 to Sardegna. I could have changed the tires on my first stop as the 26:33 run was good enough for a 10-second win. It's mostly neutral, with just a couple bouts of easily-correctable power-on oversteer, and will last better than 5 1/2 laps on fuel at a sub-1:42 pace.

The 39th 3-star Wheel of Despair in 104 workout tickets this year (and 5th of the last 7) was even more worthless than usual, puking up a height-adjustable sports suspension.
 
Did nothing but buying the Ferrari GTO. I really do need to get some grinding done soon as I dipped below 20M credits. If only I wasn’t so occupied grinding other games, I’d never let my credits get this low.

I can agree with you on Sardegna seeming to be a little more difficult. Usually by lap 3 or 4 I'm position to get 1st place. Last night it took me 5 laps part of that was my crappy racing but it shouldn't have made that big of a difference. Anyway I can't say for certain it's harder but it felt that way
 
First thing I did was drive the "Little Bastard" Porsche 550 and my tuned Ferrari F40 around the Nurburgring. I then tuned my Shelby GT350 '65 and took it to Watkins Glen. After that I drove my S2000 around Maggiore East.
 
Grind Sardegna to get the 787B. Also got the Ferrari GTO. Had just enough in the bank for those 2 after completing a couple of CEs in Asia. Back to being under 1 mil.
 
Did one race at Sardegna and Nurburgring 800pp each with a little 600pp race at Nurburgring GP in my little 964 RS. Just patiently waiting for some LCD beauties to spend my 22 million credits on. GT40 MkI, 911 GT1, and a few others.
