I caved and sold my 917k that I won from the Porsche sport trial and bought the 66 gt40 to complete the cafe menu. With the 6 star ticket I won a million credits (yay!) and my 3 star daily ticket won me 5K (ohhh) gotta love this game
I also spent time customizing a replica of YouTuber Dustin Williams new 911, painted my GT40 an obnoxious reflex purple because my daughter said so!
Also tried a bunch of 600pp and under races with the gt40 and had some fun taking photos.

On the Plus account, I found that the Sardegna tune I have for the Suzuki Escudo needs work. Still, it gave me the first-place CRB credits and a 4-star Wheel of Despair projectile-vomiting out a Lamborghini invite. Despite already owning all the Venenos I could want because I started on this account when all the invites were available, it's the first time I actually won that invite from a Wheel of Despair.
On the GTP account, before hitting Sardegna for a 1-stop race with the Dodge Viper GT3-R, I bought some C4 for future engine purposes, widening one, as it came back in stock at the UCD. As the 4-star Wheel of Despair dry-heaved a sports suspension, I didn't have enough for either of the WRS duplicates I want or anything I don't already have.

Today's 6am > Brought my Civic Type R to the Tokyo Champ and golded both races, the second one only by 0.4 sec. Fraga was on a yellow civic too, nice taste. That was good for Menu 9 which opened sport mode among other things.
Went to sport mode and did some practice at the Toyota GR with the Corolla, couldn't get clean laps under 1:50, lol. Still, I think I might enter tomorrow and just try to finish as clean as possible no matter the time or position.
Failed yet once again to gold National A license which sucks because I really want the Subaru BRZ for the next menu (Japanese FR 450).

I took the Alfa 155 to LeMans. Light rain came down on lap 2 and it looked like the deluge was coming so switched to wets. The deluge didn't come so I had to pit on lap 4. Took hards and fueled up. Turned to FM3 and methodically worked my way from 11th to P1. Got a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🎟️ which the the Ford GT engine which I promptly put in a Focus.

From your writing, i see that you're at early stages of the game .
Wish you courage and strength to keep on and most important to enjoy it .
Perhaps you already know that doesn't need to spend during that stages and is better to go on with what the game provides you .
Griding races are far away from what you are now but keep in mind that they're some cars that you will need in the future from LCD.
Cars like nissan R92CP , mazda 787 etc.
So you must " wake up" the skinflint inside you otherwise, when you really need them , probably you can't have them ( it happens all the time ).
Anyway, enjoy your ride the best possible way .

1. Finally I've grinded enough credits to buy the Aston Martin Vulcan 😍
Only 6 cars to buy remains for Cr. 99.000.000 to end my collection. But how to get this huge amount of credits as I'm broke?
Because I'm not a billionaire like some weird guys here 👀... and assuming these 6 last cars will show up one by one each week in the 5 upcoming weeks, here is the roadmap I've planned to collect the credits needed:
This should brings me a bit less Cr. 20.000.000 per week.
In these calculations, I didn't added gains with the roulette tickets because...ok you know what I mean
If everything is fine, I should be able to complete my cars collection in the next weeks/months and at the end, guess what? I'll be still broke
2. ⭐⭐⭐⭐: Cr. 10.000

- 1 Circuit Experience per week - Some are almost done, just need to complete the final lap
- 1 TT silver reward per week - any gold reward would be an extra bonus
- 3 X Le Mans 700PP per day - 3 is maybe a bit ambitious but it should help the billionaire Pr. @smoothbore12 for his weather researches 😄

My plan is 3x 825k per day , doesn't work always but they are days that am doing 4 or 5 ( mostly at Sundays) to cover the what i miss .
But whatever it happens, I'll never let my self being " broke " 😁 .
Broke for me its to left with only .....65-70 millions 🤣 .
Just need four of the expensive " sisters " and ill get rid of the LCD .
Brand central is something i really don't worry about and the same applies for the swap section which is costly enough.
My aim with brand central is to ride and " taste " first hand ( as much is possible) every car i get .
See you tomorrow with my ticket report.
Have a good and " prosperous" Sunday all.

Today I.
Finished grinding my 20M credits back after buying 2 mp4/4 yesterday and happily back at 100M.
After that I did a custom race with random cars.👍
Got a rare 6* which gave me a gr2 car which I gotten a car the last 3 nights in a roll from ticket stuffs first from a 4* then from a 5* then from a 6*.
Lastly my Suzuki has reached 62.5K miles I bought it with 1.035 miles a few months back.

Ok to make things clear in my weather reports I thought of this, defining the three stages of track wetness..
Stage 1: anything below first line.
Stage 2: anything between first and second lines.
Stage 3: anything between the second and the top including the blue standing water line.
Maybe we all can adjust to this as a reporting standard?

1). There's a clean reason I waited for the Strassen.. & yes, it is a great car..
2). Don't know nothin' about gas-tanks, fuel mgmt. and all that, you know my track, I don't leave there, so really there's no need for me to agonize over fuel consumption.. 5 laps at TM, done deal! (easy 150K in 10mins.)
3). in re:' to "enjoy your ride the best possible way".. yeah, I mean for real, that's one of the main reasons I keep coming back, that BB vitamin-E is my right foot.. LoL!
4). Itchin' badly for tonight!

You have absolutely right about stages of rain using the lines .
The "problem " is the stage two, which can be little above first line and you may survive on non wet tyres especially when track starts dry out .
Its a condition that i call light rain to dry which means no change tyres is nesesery.
After a point, lets say close to 2/3 its a rain situation that usually someone start " crawling " to the pits for a change if is out on dry tyres.
Passing the second line with the blue mark on top , usually is heavy rain or torrential rain .
I can't keep so much details except conditions that worth to memo .
For example, 4 continues laps with rain which isn't very common at all.
Or heavy rain on 6th lap only ,etc.
Since i run there " all my life " 😂 i have see ALL kinds of weather could possibly imagine.
Even the blue mark close to the very last line but that's never happened after 1.30 something update at least till now.
My verdict from memo ,was that during the end of the month and usually before an update the weather was more rainy with heavy and torrential rain falling.
Might be a coincidence ? I don't know.
Certainly they are weird conditions from time to time .
Usually rainy conditions starts ath the end of 2nd lap or after starting the 3rd lap depending on the car you drive , if is fast , very fast or not .
But isn't very common to face heavy rain starting 5th lap or ending the 4th one for example.
Anyway , at my report i want to make clear if or not needed to change tyres from dry to wets ( no matter what type , personally i never use wets ,only Intermediates ) and how often heavy rain hits the track .
Best way to observe for me, is to use a car with non stop needed.
Isn't what we call fast , but definitely can cover the most of lost time that someone spend at the pits for fuel or tyres or both .
Sometimes the weather radar looks like : ohh shi...p am F..#$@... up now ( F from fried ) but what passes over the track isn't so terrible .
PS
Your reports are crystal clear and up to the point.
Thanks mate.

Saw the movie and many laps at Spa. The movie is good, and the more Gran Turismo you've played, the more you'll like some of the details. My wife isn't a gamer and she was on the edge of her seat.

On the GTP account, I came within 16 seconds of 8 laps at the Sarthe grind in the BMW M3 GT on a 1-stop (FM 4) strategy. Needless to say, it was essentially dry, with not enough rain on lap 3 to be a real nuisance. The 4-star Wheel of Despair puked out a semi-racing muffler.
It was too early to run the Toyota GT Cup, so I went to the Plus account and ground Sarthe with the Lamborghini Huracan Gr.4, almost needing full-wet tires. The 8th 3-star Wheel of Despair of 21 on this account, and 11th of 42 between the 2 accounts, this month puked up the low-showing 10,000 Cr.
The Plus sport mode debut, done solely for the early GR Corolla (and the extra GR010) in a room full of E/B drivers, was a ramfest. I couldn't get a clean qualifying lap in, and I got rammed off track on the first lap.
Back on the GTP account, with a dodgy, low-points room, after maneuvering to get a clean track, I qualified 4th in 1:37.4 (faster than any of the other laps on either account), 1.4 seconds off the pole. I lost 3 spots on the opening lap, keeping it clean. One of the top 6 dropped out early, and I took advantage of penalties from another 2 to get back to 4th before the final lap. Third place drove wildly, getting a penalty, but I passed him before he served it to get my second podium. I didn't have anything for the top 2, even if I hadn't had traffic to deal with - my best lap was 1:37.8, and they both got down under 1:36. Still, I picked up a DR, to D.

That's a damn shame.. I've had at least a dozen in the past year, for which i've used 5.. I wish there was a way I could sell or trade to the less fortunate.. Keep the faith tho' bra', you'll get'm.. NEVER give up hope!Besides some Super Formula races, I did exactly the same thing as over a year now...
Waiting for the stupid Ferrari Invitation!!! 🤬

Ok I will report when I change to Wets ( I never use IMs in the 30min grind )
As commented in the complete post, I myself can drive on slicks but carefully in stage 2 wetness, not full stage but halfway, I do reduce my overall speed and brake way earlier to maintain control then I will definitely change to wets.
I more often will change to wets as it gets to stage 2 and then just ride it out, when stage 3 comes with standing water I slow down and brake early too .
I used to live in a rainy area and learned how to drive IRL in heavy rain, it is very similar in how you should drive in rain in game.

Some players are able to drive in wet conditions with dry tyres ,but that depends on skills and the car you drive .
Also you need MT gears and not AT in order to reach the pits or to proceed when weather radar indicates that is gonna be dry soon.
But that is an exception - mostly -and not the " rule " for the average player.
Light rain ( stage 1 and a little above) is another story and easier to copy with what needed to go on especially if the car helps on that .
It's what o call an almost dry weather.
The weather at that race has hundred patterns that for must be a short of a " limit" that wet tyres needed or not .
When wet , means intermediate or full wets , doesn't matter the type.
Ill keep my notes till next update since i start from the last one .
Hope not needed to wait so long but since i started, I'll finish it .
Intermediate tyres have problems with heavy rain but are not that bad to adapt, just need to be careful .
Also when the race demands wet tyres, 95 times in a 100 the race can end with 6 laps and not 7 .

Yes indeed I am new to the game (not the series tho).
I know, I haven't purchased any car so far (except the first one which is mandatory I think). That's why I want to gold the National A test so bad, the reward is the Subaru BRZ I plan to use to race the Japanese FR 450.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your words and advice!
Yesterday I couldn't play so I missed the Toyota GR race which I think was for the best given my practice times and little experience.
Today... I gave a try to the movie event and to my surprise I did 1:39 and 1:37 on the next lap (after some failed practice laps). I think I could get bronze or even better with some more practice.
I also raced the Ferrari at Monza (worthy if only for the sound of that beast) and the Suzuka trials (with the NSX Concept) but circuits felt much less forgiving and my times were awful.
Tomorrow I promise I gold the NA test, lol.

I tried to do something even harder than winning an F1 race in a Fiat 500 today- I tried to get the game to reconnect after being stuck in the dumb offline mode without closing the app and rebooting.
Needless to say it didn't work

Fully tuned my new corolla and went on a tokyo run.
A bit dissapointed to be honest.
Obviously its just an initial thought as I raced only once with it, so the performance will likely improve with more testing, but the new corolla feels like a bit of a downgrade compared to the yaris.
