On the GTP account, I took my second Genesis VGT ticket, and tried to improve at Monza with a rental. While I did knock nearly 2 seconds off, I'm still over a second away from silver. That effort netted me a 4-star Wheel of Despair for the lowest-possible 10,000 Cr.
As the Mercedes-Benz 190 E finally showed up at Hagerty's, I bought 3 (1 to drive, 2 for engine purposes so I can also keep 1 for a garage queen), widening one of those destined for an engine swap.
Even though I did my 50th Sport mode race on Saturday, the last trophy I need for platinum didn't pop. I rented a Lancia Stratos and went to Lake Louise to see if race 51 will do the trick. I ended up in a mixed C/D lobby, and started 10th/last, the only driver to not take a time. I kept it clean if slow (mostly laps over 1:10, with a fast one of 1:09, compared to the leaders sub-1:03), and finished 6th. That did the trick - I now have the platinum trophy on this account.
For cash, I took the 2008 Nissan GT-R GT500 around Sardegna. Ho-hum.
On the Plus account, to sort of break the tedium after taking my second Genesis VGT ticket, I did a no-stop run at Sardegna with the Lexus SC430 GT500. It is just possible on FM 6, though at 25:59, it took quite a bit longer than the usual 1-stop runs. The all-cash 4-star Wheel of Despair had a sense of humor - it gave the middle-showing, yet lowest-legal, 10,000 Cr. At least it wasn't either a 3-star or yet another invite.
