Today, Saturday April 2, I completed the Books, now I am going to check track by track if I miss an event or make again an event to earn credits to buy cars. I would like to have 4-5 cars for each group and make the best tuning. Can't wait the massive patch PD is going to release the next week, they promise to add events and increase prizes.
What did you do in GT7 today?

Grinded the Pan-Am championship in my Mustang GR3 Road car for my daily workout, got a 3* ticket and the usual pittance CR reward. Then did the WTC600 championship in my Huracan to grind some extra credits.
Modified the Prius for lols, still messing around with scapes so not that good at taking snaps yet.

Thus far today:
Bought the Ford GT LM Race car. I thought this was going to be a bear to drive because of its pure power and the fact it's an MR car, but it was very pleasant. Did the WTC Championship with it and won all the races... even got the clean race bonus at Bathurst! Might be the first time for that on a Gr3 car... if the AI isn't smashing into me then a wall jumps in front of me!
I need to work on the livery to make it the same as the one in my avatar from GT-S.
Next was the Fuji PP800 race in the pouring rain. Had tried this one in the past and it never worked out for me. Either I would spin, guess the weather wrong, or put on the wrong tires and the wrong time. Best I could muster was a P2. Until today.
Won it, and won it big. Took a gamble and stayed out on the full wets as the rain stopped and the track was drying while the AI pitted for inters. Pit a lap later and went straight onto slicks even though the bar was in the inter area, things were drying up quick. AI made up some time on me that first lap but by the next lap the track was pretty dry on the racing line so the slicks were gtg. AI ended up pitting again and I won by almost 30 seconds. Clean race bonus to boot; replay saved!

I was doing somewhat ok when the AI took me out, i was driving a bit to hot but still had a chance to make it.. after that crash not so much. How you can handle the AI in your 3 hour sessions is beyond meHa, the AI is brutal. I'm doing a multi-class endurance race with heavy damage. It changes the game as the slightest brush with a wall screws up your suspension and down force. I've done many laps having to steer slightly one way to go straight lol.
Yet the most damage I have received and forced me to limp to the pit was from the AI rear ending me while I gave them plenty room to pass. The TS050 simply boosted into me in a braking zone. Engine damage, punted into the wall, wall penalty, front, back, all 4 wheels, everything blinking. The TS050 simply drove away. He was one lap behind as well, blue flag murder.
Maybe it's better to leave them on intermediate level and race against a higher class. Not that it matters, no clue why the TS050 fell a whole lap behind at pro level with me in the Sauber C9. He did set the fastest lap in one of his boost sessions.
No wonder the whole campaign is pass the docile moving pylons. As soon as you want to engage with them they are worse than SR.B dive bombers. And they respect the blue flag about as much as online players
After today's workout i got my first 4 star gift card, and it gifted me a Supra Engine, so i guess i have that to play around with.
Did the 600 and 700 race in underpowered no cheese cars, it was fun but no big payout because PD left miles exchange in GT-Sport
For today's last race i took my cheese castrol and did a round of the WTC, i love that car :-)
Finally i made a stop at the livery editor, i am after all a man of culture...

Did some Windmills today, probably around 10-12 times.
Also did the WTC700 with the Mclaren 650S Gr.4 with @praiano63 setup.
And 12 laps Circuit de la Sarthe with the Lamborghini Huracán GT3.
That's probably it for today. I want this update to come next week. Sick of grinding Windmills, PAN American etc for credits.

I had a play with the road-going Ford GT that I picked up somewhere along the line (one of the pick-up truck races I think). I hadn't used it before, but had heard bad things and that was indeed, a bit of a wayward dog. I've got it handling more respectably though, so it's firmly in the grind rotation for the Pan-American Cup. Looks kinda cool now, too...
Other than that, more repetition in expectation that something I actually want to buy will turn up in one of the dealerships. This game desperately needs more race content, ASAP.

Bought my first Gr.2 car, the 2016 Nissan GT-R GT500. Detuned it to allow its entry into the WTC800 events.
Pitted on lap 6 at Daytona. Used a fuel-saving strategy that involved using a more lean mix in the infield (4-6) and then switching to full power (1) on the oval sections.

Started with several AI races to get the flow and traffic patterns down then off to the Manufacturer's race #2. Started 10th, ended 12th. Good race, competition was better than expected and a few mistakes on my part. Still glad I raced tonight.

Finished all the cafe menu and beat the WGT Series with the 917 Living Legends....I gotta say that car was very tricky to drive at the Nurb. Can't remember how many I restarted that race and despite my best efforts only managed 3rd on that race but won the championship overall. Other than that, I've just been customized a couple of cars.

Ground the Raptor at Daytona a lot more, almost 500,000 Cr worth, then tried to race tune my Lambo Murcielago. Tame it from a GT3 wolf into a GT4 cub, and I was mostly successful, though I kind of overdid the weight reduction. I barely got it to squeeze into the SNAIL league specs at... 666PP, GAH! 
Then I time trialed it at Maggiore at a whisker under 2:08. That took all day. About to paint it up, and hope the game doesn't eat this livery...

Fun to drive? It's kinda pricy, and I just lost 85K on my 12 hour endurance race. Engine and Body needed fixing while the race payout was only 45KTook the AMG CLK-LM '98 out for a World GT Series run ,used RM tires and got my best time yet at Nurburg,fantastic grip!
Edit:Car got me to CL 50 as well,
The daily ticket gave me a sports suspension for some car I don't have.
I did that race for the first time yesterday, and ended up 0.101 second behind my fastest friend. Thought that was pretty cool seeing the total drive time was over 35min. Did a 1 stop with max fuel saving in the rain. Definitely could’ve come out first because I was up 10 seconds in the last 3 laps I didn’t take ANY risk.

I found it alot of fun to drive, Deep Forest it's really easy to come up on corners fast and out brake AI, that last fast stretch and corner at Spa, you can hold your foot down thru-it,that's fun and Nurburgring was the most fun of the five,handles great at high speed .Fun to drive?

It is pricey, most expensive car i've purchased so far,but i'm happy with it.

I golded the last mission - the 24 minutes of Le Mans. It took a few tries, but I finally got lucky with the AI pit strategy.

Tonight I spent a few hours tuning up a '95 911 RS CS trying to get it to handle well in the 675-700PP range. I'm by no means an expert tuner, far from it, but I think I've made some progress. I'm running it on Sport Softs and with all the upgrades minus a couple it's proving quite a challenge to get it to grip well at high speeds, and at low speeds it's a body rolling boat at times. Fun and addictive to tune and test though. I'll get it right eventually. I feel like I'm 80% there.
