On the GTP account, I started to redo all the races with reasonable and close racing, getting through the Blue Moon Bay races and into Laguna Seca. The short details (all cars stock and with CRBs):
- Blue Moon Bay American FR Challenge in 2:54 with a 2015 Ford Mustang GT (a poor Cr./hour payout of 310,000 Cr. with consistent CRBs)
- Blue Moon Bay American Sunday Cup in 4:15 with a 2016 Ford Shelby GT350R (I probably could have used the Mustang again, another poor Cr./hour payout of 315,000 Cr.)
- Blue Moon Bay Nissan GT-R Cup in 6:54 with a 2017 Nissan GT-R (the car was slippery enough I deemed it a "hard" race to get the CRB, which is unfortunate as it would net over 900,000 Cr./hour with consistent CRBs)
- Blue Moon Bay European Clubman Cup in 5:25 with a 2009 Ferrari 458 Italia (a bit faster than the Ferrari F40 run yesterday, though the CRB Cr./hour payout is barely 830,000 Cr.)
- Laguna Seca American FR Challenge in 3:31 with a 2015 Ford Mustang GT (again a poor Cr./hour payout of only 250,000 Cr.)
- Laguna Seca American Clubman Cup in 7:58 with a 2019 Chevrolet Corvette C7 ZR1 (again, a poor Cr./hour payout of 335,000 Cr.)
The 3-star Wheel of Despair continued the theme, with the low-showing/lowest-possible 5,000 Cr.
On the Plus account, I finally made it to a Daily Race Saturday, done as usual without qualifying using rentals. Daily Race B was done with the meta Nissan GT-R Gr.4, starting in 16th in a D/mostly-S room. The only reason I didn't finish last was a pair of dropouts and a pair of bad wrecks ahead, which got me up to 12th. At least it was a clean race.
Daily Race A saw me start 11th/last in a mostly-D room. Thanks to a lot of offs and a few dropouts, I finished a very lonely 4th. I had nothing for the podium and it wasn't quite clean. I didn't lose any SR though.
After a long wait, I rented a BMW M6 Sprint for Daily Race C. I started 14th in a full room with almost all D/S drivers (1 D/A), with the bottom 7 not taking a time. Thanks to almost half the field dropping out even though it remained dry the entire race, I managed a 6th-place finish (of 9 finishers), 1:03 behind the winner. I did have a track-limit penalty in Eau Rouge to wipe out any chance of a CRB, but I got the tiniest sliver of DR.
I also got a cashless 4-star Wheel of Despair, which puked out a worthless turbo that I already had 3 of. The only things on the wheel that might have been useful were a racing exhaust and an engine - the other two items were an invitation and a nitrous kit.
