After grinding 42M in 3 days I bought 3 more F1 97 and now have 9 and I still have 7 more days to grind and buy a few more.👍

My goal is to own X20 of all 3 F1s.
9 down 11 to go.👍

Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday to everyone on GTP.🎄
 
So when PD analyse the data they can be like.. "Wut? We sold lots of Mclaren F1s! Too cheap, GT8 they will be MOOOAaaRRR expensive!!"

/loljk... or maybe not, who knows.

Anyway, I was keen to get the CLK-LM and GT40 from the LCD before Christ-***ing-mas ruins my time off, so between yesterday and today, I bronzed some CE for a quick hit, and then spammed Le Mans and Tokoyo for a few hours, and tried the 1hr Autopolis Kei Car race, coming only second, but still got 500k. Both cars bought, which completed the Menu book for the Fords, off the 6 star reward I got a 100k, also banked a couple of Silver laps on the TT's.

1. Lightly improved my silver time on Fuji TT from 1:29.676 to 1:29.529 with an optimal at 1:29.370 ;)

2. Golded the 1st sector of La Sarthe: 0:38.395 (I was right behind the ghost on the finish line but I couldn't believe it when the score splashed on the screen). I had a first improvement at 0:39.006, then another one at 0:39.005... :banghead:

Drink driving!

Obviously something I wouldn’t dream of doing in real life. I don’t even drink usually. But a customer at work gifted me a bottle of red wine for crimbo. Had a couple of glasses this afternoon and by god I’m all over the place, can’t keep a line to save my life, braking far too late, crashing into everything.

Don’t do it kids, no matter how cool it makes you look :lol:

Something like that ?

I took the Living Legend to Sardegna. Then I did a couple of test laps with 65 Honda F1 & 917 to what kind of fuel mileage I would get. I messed around a few minutes trying to do some more S license
 
I ground Sarthe today, using the BMW M3 GT on both accounts. On the GTP account, I had some rain between mid-lap 3 and mid-lap 4, suiting the 2-stop strategy I planned for. The 7th 3-star Wheel of Despair of 21 (and pending the Plus run, 9th of 41) of the month puked out the lowest-possible 5,000 Cr.

On the Plus account, the 1-stop strategy was thwarted by weather. Memo to self - FM 3 won't quite get 4 laps; I ran out coming out of the Ford Chicane after filling the tank just over halfway on my lap 5 stop/change back to slicks. The 4-star Wheel of Despair gave a racing muffler; at least it was for a car that I can use it in.
 
Got a little Christmas gift, logged in to get my marathon ticket and do a spot of painting, ended up getting the Bugatti invitation from the resulting 4* ticket. Finally finished all the menu books, shame the reward was only an engine ticket though.
 
Those rewards for extra café menus... you're lucky if they are worth the 3rd of what they cost you.
The value doesn't really bother me, I enjoyed completing the menu books just for the fun of collecting. I've done most of the engine swaps that I'm interested in so it's not especially exciting, that's all. A regular 6* ticket would be ace!
 
1. Started the new daily Gr.4 race on Dragon Trail - Gardens reverse, first with the Silvia and switched to the 458 Italia (a bit faster) for 3 others races. I've lost some SR points (-25%) :confused: but gained a lot on DR (+23%) :dopey:
I'm currently testing Gran Tracker tool. I need to familiarize with it to use it at its best.

2. ⭐⭐⭐ : Cr. 10.000 :yuck:

Still not perfect but I'm happy for now as I've seriously improved my DR score and back to 100% for the SR!

Thank you @GrumpyOldMan for your lovely tool :cheers:

Today? I completed the current set of Weekly Challenges by doing the WTC 800 race at Nurburgring Endurance, though I didn't get the CRB. Still, 500k credits is very nice, in addition to the first-place prize for that event. I even got a six-star engine ticket for my daily workout, which in turn got me the engine from the Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) V-Spec II Nur. Although it currently can only go into one car, it's still an engine I haven't acquired before, so I'm glad to have potentially saved over 300k credits that I'd otherwise consider spending on that particular engine swap. (Though it was definitely nice to get my second Escudo engine via the first login campaign - now I just need to wait until that Mitsubishi GTO is available in silver again. That particular engine is likely among my most valuable in my current collection, being worth over 900k credits!)

I also tried the Super Formula round at Fuji using Racing Hards, but only got 6th, so I'll definitely try Racing Medium tires next time. What's nice about this set of races is that the car I'm using, the SF19/Toyota, is one that I won in a ticket. It's even better that the sister car, the SF19/Honda, can also be acquired for free by completing the Honda motorsport Extra Menu, which I will have done by the time I get all golds on my Master Super License. (And I'm halfway there on that, too!)

Today I drove around 100kms in the Fuji TT and got within the silver time. 9 days left, I hope my time holds up to the end.

A 3 stars despicable wheel gave me 30k.

On the market side, I bought a BMW M3 evolution 89, a Honda S800, a pair of Mitsubishi Lancers (III and X). Which completed 2 extra cafe menus.

A 5 stars wheel gave me 500k and a 4 stars one gave me 5k.

I ground some Italian GT3s around Sardegna. On the Plus account, it was the Lamborghini in a time that even SuperFraga can't match, for an all-cash 4-star Wheel of Despair worth the lowest-possible 10,000 Cr. and, as it was Boxing Day in the UK, a parts ticket for a Bore Up S for a car I could use it on. I also knocked down the number of cars I need to fill the garage to 5, at a cost of an even 91,000,000 Cr. after buying the returning Jaguar XJ13. Guess what's going to Sarthe tomorrow.

On the GTP account, the Ferrari was only slightly slower, but it still would have beat SuperFraga at his best. The 4-star Wheel of Despair gave a low-showing 30,000 Cr., while the parts ticket gave the shaft, fortunately for a car I could use it on.
 
1. Started with some daily races on Dragon Trail with Miss 458... After 4 races this morning, my DR is equal as yesterday (74%) but I've lost 30% on my SR :banghead: despite a CRB on the 2nd race. The 3rd race ruined all my morning efforts, as I received a single huge (but deserved) 5 sec. penalty.
There's something I don't like on this circuit but I can't explain it.

2. Daily marathon⭐⭐⭐⭐ : Aston Martin invitation (no need but thanks)

3. Christmas ticket ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ : parts for a Madza 3 worth Cr. 18.000 😓 (no need but thanks)

4. 4 more daily races this afternoon on Dragon Trail (switched to the Mazda3 Gr.4) and had my best result so far: started 10th and finished 3rd!

I'm now a "baby" B/S driver :cheers:🍾🥂

But I can't explain why I've lost 50% of my SR score while I didn't had any penalty or crash on the latest race :confused:
