Well, I golded the entire Nordschleife circuit experience apart from the hotlap, which is a silver. For a more casual player like me, I was very happy with it. I will likely go back to it later to try golding it.
That was extremely nerve-racking, with that twitchy Bimmer giving me so much hell. But well worth the million credits I received afterwards.

My list from today
That's probably it for today. 👍
- Did a lot more Circuit Experience. Windmills, Fishermans Ranch, Colorado Springs and Blue Moon Bay both layouts all finished with gold.
- Tuned a couple of cars and tested them in some events and time trials.
- Bought 16 cars from Used and Legendary dealers. Most exciting one for me was the AMG CLK-LM '98. Still wondering if i should buy the McLaren F1 from Hagerty.
- Detuned the AMG and did the Sardegna 800 PP race a couple times over.
- Also got my first ever steering wheel installed. So i decided to do more time trials on different tracks to figure everything out. For now, things do go well but I'm still way slower with the wheel. Guess it needs time, a lot of time. But the most important part is that I'm enjoying myself!
- Did the 700 PP on Circuit de la Sarthe with the wheel and surprisingly it went well. Finished 1st, 2 times, and 1 time finished 4th after spinning in the rain.
That's probably it for today. 👍

I was in a pretty fun lobby, Tsukuba Circuit.
We were running AE86's for a while, Some with widebody, some without.
I remember bringing my freshly tuned SW30 out to play, followed them for a while when they'd start the race and power through to 1st on the last lap. They were fast as hell. Then Host Ended Server and I was sad.
But it was cool when we were not doing the actual race. We would line up all at the start/finish line, and using drag rules, we set a time to go for it, 3 lap battle, but before the race ended, no matter what lap, you had to hit the "joker" corner by the Dunlop sign. It made things really fun and interesting.
Would definitely recommend. Hope I see those people again, Very chill group.

Would you be opposed to sharing the tune? 
My '69 Vette is squirrelly as hell bro. I just cant get it down.
I'm way better at Import tunes. Idk if you wanted to do some kind of trade or something, but I'm interested to see how you Tamed that Beast!

Did the 620PP hour long race in the Missions with an Atenza Gr4. Pit once after the 30 min mark for fuel and tires, won by ~25 seconds.
Did the Trial Mountain circuit experience and destroyed it. Took two attempts for sector 1 and two attempts for the lap (first attempt was .026" off) for all the golds. I love that track and the Mazda Vision so it was pretty straight forward.
Golded Brands Hatch
Still can't gold the lap of Laguna. Like .600" off so not even close. Ugh.

The time wasn’t an issue but I did restart way more than I’d like to admit because I lost control, kept oversteering and snapping to hell and back. Unbelievable to me how a 908 can lose control in that manner through the Porsche curves. Feels like I’ve lost the skill I had going from GTS to GT7.

I spent ninety minutes writing up a tune guide for this place. Then bought out the remaining cars in the Used Dealer, the only one of consequence being the Corvette. Freshly broke again, I had to race.
I went back to the 24 Minutes of LeMans. The race yesterday was either bugged, or I lost my marble and didn't set it to easy. This went waay better. I managed to win easily on... cough, easy. Hey, because of my wreck, driving in rain really bothers me, a lot, even in games. Fortunately the rain with those gentle Fronch curves aren't quite so scary, though the Murcielago feels numb in the rain. Thank God they let me use a 4WD car. I may just move there for a few races, and see if I can afford the CLK before it's gone, or dare I say it, the McLaren...

Finally sat down for my proper Special Licence effort. Tests 5 thru 10.
What a blast, the frustrations of the Laguna Seca Formula 1 and Final Test at wet Spa are outweighed by the sheer thrill of driving the things.
Roughly 90 minutes seperated my first F1 attempt and my last (unsuccessful) attempt at Spa. With the Zonda and GT500 Nissan sandwiched in the middle. I also struggled at Windmills with the Yaris.
I'll go again tomorrow and I'm going to nail it.

Nabbed two VGT Gr1 cars over the last tow days, specifically the Alpine VGT and the McLaren Ultimate VGT.. both impressed me significantly. the Alpine being more stable than in Sport... and the Ultimate McLaren being actually capable this time around in 7, it no longer has the spongecake suspension of its appearance in Sport and its engine braking performance is PHENOMENAL. you absolutely have to be at a knife's edge to make the most out of this car, its exhilarating now compared to the really tepid nature of the car in GT Sport... still has a nearly useless 6th gear though

Completed the Le Mans circuit experience with all gold, apart from a silver sector 5 (hotlap was a gold).
Sector 5, how matter how hard I tried, resulted in the Peugeot spinning. It very much showcases the poor rear grip physics in this game. An LMP1 should not lose grip that easily at such high speeds…unless I am missing something here. I am using as light of inputs as I can, but it still often results in a spin. Countersteering is completely out of the question, as the car is pretty much going to do a pirouette into a wall or gravel trap regardless of what you do to save it.
I try backing off a bit, but it seems like I will not get gold in sector 5 that way. Maybe it’s the bad physics. Maybe it’s me being a garbage driver.
EDIT: Just golded sector 5 as of 9:14 AM Eastern Time. Traction control was set to 1. Maybe it helped. Maybe it didn’t.

Done WTC 600 in the Radical. It’s still hilarious. wTC700 in GR4 viper. Le Mans definitely excellent for money now. Managed to get one of them in The Gr4 Viper. Think group 4s are best for it. Just about to do one in GT40 with obligatory paint job. Think I’ll buy the newest GT40 now. The one @praiano63 does the 700 tune for is excellent at Le Mans. Can’t recommend his tunes enough.
Edit.
Managed to get away from, “ making memories “ with the wife to run the Half hour LeMans a couple of times.
Perfect track to grind, if tour going to grind the circuit seems appropriate, love the weather change. Hope we see the same with the other 24hr tracks.

3 x endurance races at Le Mans (30 mins.. endurance?? hahah) Toyota GR3
1st one, it rained, but i managed to pit and guys, this game and rain is something else, and the drying line is something else times 2, it's such an amazing feeling. I was saving fuel the whole race to keep my strategic options open, ended up getting distracted in the real world and shattered the car at a chicane on the last lap.. did not win that one...
2nd race, let's be clever.. the sky looks like rain (nothing on the radar), i'm gonna go for those inters.. not a drop and burned the inters on the next lap, pit.. hard tires and.. well did not win that one either.. but a completely dry race.
3rd race.. now we are getting to the endurance part, saved fuel, pitted when i had to, saved more fuel, pitted once more, made it to the end. Won and clean race.. not a drop of rain in the race.. weird? And that clean bonus is very forgiven compared to other races..
So much credit and nothing i really want to buy, so i got a few GR3 cars..
And i made a video about controller settings!!

It took them long enough but yeah they did nail it. ducking out of the racing line to keep enough water on my inters for grip is such a step forward in rain racing. It looks and sounds great when it falls in cockpit view, loads of variation based on part of the track, wind direction, rain strength, and the different ways you can manage the situation when it's drying just offers so much to the game not to mention the tracks different states are beautifully rendered visually.
coming from GT Sport where it was more a feeling of driving on ice the difference is incredible.

This is why I'm glad I learned that the radar can be zoomed in and out using up and down on the D-pad, far less chance of getting bamboozled when you can see what the rain is doing from about 10 miles out. Also, they really need to mention somewhere that the radar can be adjusted like that, because I had no idea until like a week ago.

The radar was zoomed out, but a lap takes so long that you can get caught out anyway, i was just being to clever

Well this morning I had 12 an a half Million Cr , Had until I went a bit mad .
So I bought ..........
Mustang GR 3
Diablo GT
CLK LM 98
M3 89
Imprexa 22B x 2
Clio V6
RX-7 GT-X ( FC) 90
MR2 GT-S 97
Eunos Roadster 89
365 GT B4 71
So yer I had to do a few races to rebuild my rather empty account , back to around 4.5 Million Cr now so all good.........sort of .
In the meantime after a rest ( i'm old ) I decided to turn the Gr-3 Mustang into a V8 Aussie Supercar Replica , i'm hopeless at liverys so did a search and found a cheap one lol .
Next up I added a few subtle parts and attempted to tune this thing , it's sort of ok if you use TCS 3 otherwise it tries to kill you.......often so more help needed with the LSD Settings I reckon . still managed a low 2 min lap at Bathurst , but omg it's a handfull .
Thanks to that bloke in the tuning forum with his new PS5 which he says is fantastic he slung up a decent tune for the GT 350R 16 , so yup more Cr died for the cause of tuning and now it's fun to drive finally , still likes to sling her rear end about if you abuse the throttle , but all in all managable
Finally as this car has earned me in excess of 8 Million Cr in 3 days just taking things easy I gave the Tomahawk a shiny new skin , I don't actually like these VGT Cars but it does the job with ease and pays for itself rather well , so i'll be kind and thrash the living daylights out of it .
Time for some beer , only 5 days before I have to hopefully leave my PS4 Pro for a well earned two week break as I fly off to watch a Nascar Race at Talledega oh and drink a shed load of beer whilst in a RV in the infield with a lot of my American friends .

Did a couple more incomplete low PP races this morning and began a tune and new livery design on an Impreza.
