It was, at least for the GTP account, the last set of Daily races I'm doing. First, however, I came into the 11 am CST GTWS slot pretty cold as power went out last night right as I was set to practice and see how many laps I could get on RS tires. I got door number 4 in a 15-car D/S room with 11 points to the winner. I let the other 14 drivers qualify, mostly on mediums and softs, though some joker went out on intermediates. The top time was 1:55.6, which I probably wouldn't have matched.
As I have seen others say the soft tiress last 5 laps, I decided on a 3-RM/9-RS strategy. It was a sloppy race, though I finished 3rd with 10 points after somebody ahead of me forgot to change tires.
I immediately went to Tsukuba and rented a Fairlady Z, starting 9th/last (and 2nd of the no-qualifiers) in a mixed C/D room (mostly S drivers, 1 A). I worked my way up to 5th thanks to some wrecks, and even had the fastest lap.
I then rented a Chevrolet Corvette Gr.4 at Dragon Trail, starting 14th of 16, and 2nd of 4 no-qualifiers, in an all-D/S room. It didn't go brilliantly as I had a moment on lap 3, but I finished 12th and clean.
As it was quite a bit of a wait for Daily C (it had started just before I got out of the Daily B room), I took my 4-star Wheel of Despair, and the all-cash Wheel disappointed as usual, pushing out the low-showing/lowest-possible 10,000 Cr. The last Daily race saw me start 15th and last (the only car to not take a time) in a mixed C/D room. I had zero pace, not breaking 1:50.9, though I did get 11th of 13 finishers.
On the Plus account, I rented the real (and newest) Ford GT Race Car at Daytona, and started 14th/last (3rd non-qualifier) in an all-D/mostly-S room. I was marginally faster, getting to near 1:50.7, and thanks to a penalty to somebody for not pitting, I finished a clean 10th of 12 who took the checkered flag.
While I waited for the other 2 rooms to open, I took my 4th 3-star Wheel of Despair of 11 (and 6th of 22 between the two accounts) this year, for a 2015 Honda Civic. I hung onto that for tuning purposes.
I then rented a Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport at Dragon Trail, and set off 15th, last of the 2 who didn't take a time in the all-D/S room. It wasn't a good race, as I finished 10th of 12 who took the checkered flag, though I somehow hung onto a no-bar D DR rating because the game refused to kick me back to E.
Tsukuba was a full D/S room, with me starting 12th, 2nd of 2 drivers to not take a time. The connection went haywire, so I took a last-among-finishers 11th so I didn't potentially ruin anybody else's race by net-coding into them.
