Try my luck at Spa TT but .......
Did some runs at TM TT for the first time and i leave it for another day to try it for Silver which i believe is my limits on this one.
At noon i was busy to put Zonda R at 8 lap territory searching for dry weather.
With some miserable penalties ,an accidentally spin ( touch handbrake) a bit of rain and almost run out of fuel in final lap ( my mistake choose FM1 for two laps but wasn't ideal ) and i managed to do it .
New week , new challenge and will see how it goes.
 
Tried racing with the big boys online at RouteX,....apparently going 500kph in the Bugatti is about 7-8 kph too slow....i also have almost 600 engines to use but not the right one fer a Gr 3 Corvette to use at Daytona,...son of a *

Edit:guess who just figured out how to buy engines,duh! :dopey:

Tried a different strategy at Road Atlanta Gr.1 race.
I normally run RM, and only swap tires at every other fuel pit. This time, I tried RS and swap tires at every single pit. The slightly quicker lap time on RS doesn't give me enough advantage over shorter pit time with RM. It was a close win.

 
I generally don’t play in sport mode but made an exception today because my IRL car is featured in race A. Spent a little while setting my suspension and brakes up for the circuit, got the best qualifying time by a decent margin, blasted off the line leaving everyone in my dust and then my frigging phone rang - an important work related call i’ve been waiting for all day. God bloody dammit :lol:

Today was circuits experience day.
Other day i said , i had only two on Tokyo, in fact was for Asia and America. I did not complete bronze on european track that is done now.
Even if it's bronze happy to have complète this first step.
I also took time to get some gold on few track .
Nordschleife with the m6 ,was i think what i prefer and happy to have the bronze there, don't know if i will go for gold complete track on this one 😂😂.
The combo i dislike the most was the Mercedes AMG GT3 on Nurburgring grand prix , took me hard time to find braking point.
Another i try hard was Interlagos with the Gtr Nismo GT3 , what a fun really like it .

I end with Nordschleife and even just going for bronze took all my energy , had to do almost three time managed twice to go out track limite After 6 mn. Last run i almost stop twice afraid to do a mistake 🤣🤣🤣
 
It was another ho-hum day-after-rest at Sardegna. On the GTP account, the original Renault R.S.01 got me an all-cash 4-star Wheel of Despair bearing the 2nd-low-showing/lowest-legal 30,000 Cr. On the Plus account, it was the Alfa Romeo 4C Gr.3 that got me the low-showing 30,000 Cr. on a 4-star Wheel of Despair.
 
Today was racing online day that actually started yesterday evening .
Been racing b race and c one , that bring my fairplay rating to S.
Happy with that. ✌️😉

Yesterday runned 3 race C with R8lms Evo 25 that bring me c/b was happy with that.

Today i first runned 4 B race twice using Renault Megane RS and twice the mazda .
Well in b class i do not know if fairplay is in usage .
Even trying to avoid accepting to lisse place doing so, you end with penalities just with some doing everything for you to get it ..
One race put me back D/C.

Then i decide to go back to C race running the R8 with the hope to improve my fairplay rating and dit it to S rating.

My qualifing Time was 1:47:887 , wich IS not fantastic , and often put me in the first half at start wich was clearly a problem as i did not have at all same bracking point of all those fast Ford 🤣🤣🤣 and driver will prefer to push you out of their way . Well does not matter i never finish behind my start pos today in C race using early Pit stop to avoid all this stock car part 😉✌️
Still manage to have some good Race with driver of my lvl.

Gaming time was almost impossible today. I checked the forum earlier just to find out that the Smokey and Bandit Pontiac was up for grabs at the UCD as a special pick. I logged in, bought that beauty. Then I visited Hagerty's and saw the Aston Martin DB5. I bought that British beauty too.

I’m quite certain that the DB5 isn’t in the LCD at the moment..?
 
As I logged in and out and the whole process took about 5 minutes, I can't tell you for sure but the DB5 was up there as Special Pick.
Aah, as a special pick, I see. Apologies, I haven’t logged in today I just remember it being in the LCD last time around christmas which is why I didn’t think it’d be in again so quickly.
 
Today was good session in GT7:
  • I started off by tweaking my cars in the garage, little modifying of the GT3 RS.
  • Then proceeded to do a daily race, tackeld the NISSAN 370Z tsukaba race, was fun and manic, achieved a 5th place.
  • Moved onto the big boy DAYTONA race and did my first race but didnt realise you had to pit once. so got bogged down to 11th.
  • Then waited a few mins and tried the race again in my NISMO GT3, did the pit stop at lap 4 and wen on the win my first podium victory, which felt great! I dont really race much onlien but it felt really cool to have a good solid clean race win! (pic attach tomo)
  • Then lastly did some sppeedrun and the Clubman club plus 3 race at Monza which was very odd mish mash of cars. and quite chaotic.

But overall good fun day of few hours gameplay, today.

ADDED: Pic of my win in this DAILY RACE C

I finished the weekly challenge. It took 2 tries on the RB race as I had a terrible accident the 1st try. Got a Tundra from a ⭐⭐⭐ 🎫 and a part for a BRZ drift car
 
Today was good afternoon session.

In this particular order:

  • I started off do some testing on my FORD GT, proceeded to dump some money into tuning it (935hp)and came up with this beast!
  • Then proceeded to do the manufacturers Final race at Dragon Trails, did a good nice race in the NSX GT.3 and got 6th place!
  • Moved onto the Trial Mountain TT and dropped my time down following Tidgney ghost to 1:53.7, so thanks for that!
  • Lastly, just took some snaps of the sexy FORD GT, I really do love this car and would love to own one, oneday! :P
  • Did the RED Bull Ring GT3 chilli race in the Wet which was fun, but a very slow focused 7 lap race in the Nismo GT3 Racer.

Overall a nice session and very rewarding to play.

I went to Sardegna for the usual mo.... Oh! Wait! No. Actually I completed the X2019 race at Sardegna and also at Interlagos. RH, TCS1, max downforce at Sardegna, RS and everything else the same for Interlagos.

Made a 5 minutes livery for the Beetle Gr3.

After taking a weather day off (it wasn't exactly the 8-12 inches they predicted, but it had the consistency of wet concrete), I made it back to Sarthe. On the Plus account, it was the Ford Mustang Gr.4's turn at a rather wet track, and 3 stops/6 laps later, I had a 4-star Wheel of Despair bearing an invite on a cashless Wheel.

While practicing for the final Manufacturers Cup in the Chevrolet Corvette Gr.4 (getting down to 1:40.6, with my doubts on tire wear), I got my 2nd 3-star Wheel of Despair of 7 (and 5th of 14) this year, which puked out the low-showing 10,000 Cr. As I missed the 5 pm slot, I instead went to Sarthe with another Corvette, doing another 3-stop run, though I was forced to do a 7th lap.

The 6 pm slot was an all-D/S room, with 11 points for a win and me wearing door #11. The top time was 1:40.2, and I was the only one of 16 to not take a time. I shouldn't have worried about the tires, as they lasted all 11 laps. A couple cars did, which got me to 7th and 8 points. That 8 points represents a 3-point net gain and a very-modest gain in DR.
