Cash in my winning for the Kyoto TT. Completed the new weekly challenges (didn't get a single credit tickets even though the system says they have been acquired 😞) and completed the Super Formula cafe menu. Had been dragging my feet on that one and to my surprise, all the races were quite fun.
 
I took the Civic (EK) Touring Car for a spin in the Special Event Weekly Challenge around Watkins Glen several times because I enjoyed it so much... I'll probably do that again few a few days too with a new livery I threw together just for the race. It got me out of my livery making doldrums at least. :)

These single make races should be expanded into full time content... maybe even a single make championship.
 
After clearing the weekly races i start using various cars for the new Fuji TT but i was struggling a lot .
Don't know what might be the best combo for me but ill be lucky if i get silver on this one.
So i switch to Selby at deep forest and after few runs i lower my fragile gold a bit , don't know if it holds but feels nice for my first ever TT.

Bought a Civic EK and ran the Glen. I didn't swap it. Used the same car at LeMans once. Completed the first four Weekly Challenges, saving The Ring for tomorrow. Ran the Fuji TT a few times. Got 5K from the wheel.
 
Last night I collected 250k from the TT with the Bugatti Gr1. I spent 5 mins there last week and dropped the ball. It was too fast for my hands and eyes. 😅 I didn't even remember I had that bronze to be collected.

After that I completed 4 out of 5 weekly challenges.

Took a Golf Gti '83 to the Sunday Cup to claim 1st. A Ferrari Dino to the European Sunday Cup 500 to get 3rd (twice). I just couldn't catch the Amg A45 and the Alpine A110 '17. I had done that event before, so I don't mind not getting 1st there. Also completed the Special Event a couple of times. A lovely one, if you ask me.

A 4 stars ticket gave me some parts for a pace car I don't remember what it was. After midnight, I kept playing and a 2nd 4 stars ticket gave me a BMW M2 competition.

Yesterday I won the weekly challenges and the Super Formula race at Watkins Glen

Detuning the Mazda LM55 VGT to 800 pp for the WTC 800 weekly was a challenge. It lacked acceleration compared to the GT 3 machines. Its insane handling only really shone in the curvy middle part. I might have gotten lucky because they pitted for inters and then back to mediums while I did all 3 laps on hards.

The Civic Touring Car for the weekly special was fun.

The Rally Cross in my Ford Focus Rally Car was surprisingly tough, but short shifting a lot for traction did the trick.

Super Formula at Watkins Glen was relatively easy without crashing.
St. Croix was super tough. Gotta practice. Will probably do the CE there first to get to know the track. Then getting the breaking points right in the Super Formula machine.

Good job on the Super Formula menu book! I read that Fuji is one of the hardest races in the game.
 
So, there's me, 6 laps into a grind race at La Sarthe over a minute ahead in first, I pause the game, get out from behind my wheel, go to the kitchen to sort something, then get back behind my wheel. Upon unpausing I immediately smack the barrier shortly before the Hunaudieres, that's odd I think, and then I can't get my car off the barrier, despite me pointing about 45° away from it. This carries on for a good few seconds, my damage indicator is basically all red, and all though I'm picking up speed I still can't get out of the barrier. I make it half way along the Mulsanne like this, just assuming I've glitched into the barrier.

At this point I realise my controller, which is turned on because I use it for driving my headphones, has dropped off my wheelstand and is face down on the carpet. D'oh. Kicked it over, the car immediately straightened up... of course by now I'm almost last (save for the Suzuki which never seems to pit, and just cruises along seemingly bereft of fuel)... and my wets are just 4 red squares. I limp over the line, having accrued 21 secs in penalties for not being able to keep the car on the road, and somehow still get the CRB and 140k Cr.

I'm not a fan of spamming the grind races, I'm even less of a fan of doing it and not getting the full reward.
 
I took the Bat to LeSarthe but it wasn't fast enough for me. I need to tune it a little bit more. So I switched to the XJ220. Got a 5 ⭐ 🎫 and a Cayman GT which I decided not to sell. Did the 1st 2 races of the weekly challenge. Then I did the 1st 3 sectors of the LeMans CE.

For the super formula race at Fuji, it wasn't too bad. You do need to lap fairly quickly because P1 seems to drive like Max Verstappen, once the race starts he's gone. I had to restart 3 times and on the 3rd time I won it.

I think I finished P12 or P13 the first time because I fell for the weather radar. It looks like it was raining so I dived into the pits to put on inters only for the clouds to vanish on the next lap forcing me to pit again with 7 laps to go in dead last . The second time I finished P2 because I think I went into the pits too early to change my soft and P1 was too far ahead. On the third try, I still started with the soft tires, drove them until I overtook P1 and built roughly 7 seconds buffer. By that point I had no grips left and then I pit. I think that was lap 10 or so. When I came back out I dropped to P4 but quickly dispatched P3 and P2 but was still nearly 13 seconds behind P1 and then to my surprise he pit on the penultimate lap and that's when I took the lead again. I don't like the Fuji track especially the third sector so to do that bit for 45 laps was annoying as hell but it wasn't too bad of a race at all.

And I second that, the civic challenge was a whole lot of fun. The car felt awesome to drive as well.
 
Last night I collected my gold for the Bugatti TT. I then ran some laps at Fuji with the NSX and earned a very tenuous gold in the meta NSX at 2.86% from the top time. After that I started the weekly challenges where I used the s660 Honda for an easy win in the Sunday cup, the Clio for an easy win at BH, my GR Yaris on dirt tires for the Rally cross event (without a CRB because bumper cars), my modded EK for a super fun win at The Glen and ran out of ambition to finish the WTC 800 at the Ring. Maybe I'll do that one tomorrow.
 
More like yesterday, but I had to get ready for a meeting this morning.

A lot of attempts trying to win European Sunday Cup 500 (Brands Hatch) in a stock Ferrari 308.



Trying to explain it does not do this combo justice. Just try it for yourself.
 
On the GTP account, I took the 250,000 Cr. for getting bronze at Kyoto, saw my time at Deep Forest was still good enough for gold, then rented an Audi and abusing the DRS to get a marginal silver time of just under 1:30.7. The mileage was good enough to get me a 4-star Wheel of No-Despair worth...wait for it...wait for it...1,000,000 Cr.

I went through the weekly challenges with, in order and unless otherwise noted, stock and clean, the Abarth 1500 (after finding the Himedic too slow for even Broad Bean), the De Tomaso Pantera, a tuned Mitsubishi GTO (not clean; has anybody done this race with a CRB?), the Honda Civic Touring Car (in 10:53), and the retiring Nations Cup Corvette (on SM tires, pit on lap 2, not clean).

On the Plus account, I used the RUF CTR3 for the two Sunday Cups, the Nissan GT-R NISMO for the Catalunya event (mostly because I had dirt tires, and again unclean), the Civic Touring Car for its one-make race, and the Lexus SC430 GT500 for the Nurburgring. The 4-star Wheel of Despair kicked in the lowest-possible 10,000 Cr.
 
Ran some Fuji TT’s, bought another ‘66 GT40, ran LeMans once with it. Got an RCZ from the wheel and promptly sold it for 14k.

Today before I went back to the special events I bought a racing mufler and a fully customizable gear transmission for the touring Civic. For my personal driving, I felt I could adjust some gearing and get a better corner exit.

Got 4 wins there, using Sport Hard Tyres, no CRB however.

Also got to try the TT at Deep Forest. Very late to the party, I know,.... I got within the Silver window after few laps (by 0,3). I hope it holds me there untill the end.

A 4 star despicable wheel gave 30k.

And I bought a CLK LM 98.

Yesterday I golded the 5 sectors of the St. Croix CE. Full lap later. Unfortunately it's layout C while the Super Formula race is layout B.

I also bought all the cars I had an invitation for, which were all except for the Ferraris and the Porsche Carrera GT which I had already won after menu book 39. Now broke. But collector's level 39 brought tons of new menu books.
 
Finished the last three races of the weekly challenge. Didn't really care for the Rallycross race. The Civic race was fun, I even slightly enjoyed the race at the Ring. Usually for me I play Wreckfest at the Ring but not this time no major wrecks 😁.
 
Went back to some uncompleted Circuit Experiences, must be a year since I passed the majority. Was on auto back then so a few were quite frustrating. Using manual now, about 10 attempts at Laguna Seca and I managed to pop a gold time.

Grand Valley next. It was always the middle sector where I had trouble before.
 
On the GTP account, I started Sport Saturday at Interlagos in a rented Ferrari, trying to decide if I should switch to that from Chevrolet for the Manufacturers Cup. I qualified 12th in 1:41.5 in a mixed C/D room. That is where I finished on-track thanks to a few DNFs, but because somebody forgot to pit, I came home 11th. I lost more DR, so I guess I'm on my way back to E, where I really belong.

Before hitting Deep Forest in another Ferrari, I took my 6th 3-star Wheel of Despair of 20 this month (and pending the Plus run, 8th of 39) for the low-showing 10,000 Cr. My qualifying time of 1:29.6 was good for 2nd in an all-D room. It was a disaster; I was a rolling roadblock when I wasn't spinning off. I tried to finish last of those who finished, but somebody else decided to keep spinning as well. I'm no longer going to qualify for sport-mode races, and once I hit my 50 (with 18 more to go on the GTP account and 47 on the Plus account), I'm not going to run them anymore unless there is a car to be had just for entering. I'm also staying with Chevrolet in the GTWS.

I started my final countdown strategy at Tokyo, not bothering to take a time and starting 9th/last in a B-to-D room (with another person not taking a time). It went as expected, with a DNF between me and last. Somehow, despite a lot of wall-banging, I got a CRB.

That's where I started on the Plus account (currently mid-E DR/mid-A SR). I started 6th of 8 in a mixed D/E room, 2nd of those who didn't take a time. After accidentally holding down the clutch instead of the brake, and letting the field by, I took advantage of wall hits to finish 5th. For some reason, my DR went to D despite the Daily A race supposedly not affecting DR (no arrow); and my SR went to a high-A (up-arrow).

I rented a Chevrolet for the Interlagos event. As per usual on this account (and the new normal), I didn't qualify, so I started 12th of 14 in an all-D room (2nd of those who didn't take a time). I got punted in the first turn, so I took my pit stop early. Thanks to a lot of drop-outs, I finished 8th of the 9 who were still running. It also slightly increased my DR and gave me a mid-S SR.

Before finishing at Deep Forest in another Chevrolet rental, I took my 4-star Wheel of Despair, which gave a second S camshaft for the 2003 Audi TT. Thanks to not qualifying, I started 14th of 15, the first of 2 cars to not post a time, in the all-D/S room. I let the other non-qualifier through, while somebody else had the same idea and took it further than me. It went well...until I cooked it in the last tight left on lap 5. By flying into the barrier instead of the car, I managed to salvage a slight increase in SR (not quite a full-bar S), at the cost of finishing 10th of 11 finishers.
 
Today I completed the weekly challenges. Tackled the WTC 800 event at the ring with the CLK LM 98. Power restriction to fit the car under the regulation, RM tyres, FM 4. No pit stops, no rain, no challenge it all.

I also golded the CE at Lago Maggiore.

A 4 stars despicable wheel gave me 30k.

Happy holidays everybody!

2. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ : Cr. 30.000 :yuck:

3. Santa brought me the Alfa Romeo 8C Touring 🎅

Yes, a secure 🥇 is below 1:29.xxx at Fuji. That's my objective here.

Don't fool me, you are the richest Greek player on GT7, you can buy several 8C Touring... :dopey:
