Finished the Evo meeting cafe races at Monza, had some fun in that Evo 9!

Then unlocekd two 4 star roulette tickets to get an engne and some money 30k, and had anarchy at Daily Race B at watkins what a wierd combo and all the cars have mental oversteer pyshics make me question if they really fixed the pyshics bug or not???


That Daily Race B I did at watkins was an absolute disaster on Lap1 and I got childishly rammed by an irish driver who pitted me on the straight in white mazda LM55 and then received zero penalty for it, i played catchup all race and only managed 12th. Was a real bad race and will kinda avoid this and do Daily Race a and try C tomorrow.

On the GTP account, I took 1,250,000 Cr. in time-trial prizes (a silver at Nurburgring, a bronze at St. Croix), then rented a 1997 BMW M3 for a run around Dragon Trail. I eventually got to a very-marginal-silver 1:53.1. I left the other time trial for later, instead working on the soon-to-expire Weekly Challenges:
  • Tokyo Expressway Sunday Cup in 3:56 with a stock Mazda Demio
  • Grand Valley Historic Sports Car Masters in 6:58 in a stock 1988 Lamborghini Countach (and only 1 other Lambo product in the race, a Miura starting 6th)
  • Grand Valley Special Event in 10:08 (by 3.3 seconds) in a BAC Mono tuned to 677 PP (old tune for one of the missions)
  • Deep Forest Nissan GT-R Cup in 8:24 with a stock 2017 Nissan GT-R
  • St. Croix WTC 800 in 25:42 with a stock 2019 Audi R8 LMS Evo (after a few restarts and managing to run my "teammate" Grady out of fuel coming out of the last turn)
The 6-star ticket for the Weekly Challenges gave the biggest cash prize of 1,000,000 Cr., while the cashless 5-star workout Wheel of Despair gave an ultra-high rpm turbo for an engine for which I think I don't need it.

On the Plus account, the Weekly Challenges went as such:
  • Tokyo Expressway in 3:20 with a stock Porsche 959
  • Grand Valley Historic Sports Car Masters in 6:43 with the same 959 (and the Countaches starting out front, new-to-old)
  • Grand Valley Special Event in 10:07 with a BAC Mono tuned to 676 PP
  • Deep Forest in 8:16 with a stock 2017 Nissan GT-R NISMO
  • St. Croix in 24:31 with a Mazda 787B detuned to 799 PP
The 6-star Wheel of Despair for the Weekly Challenges puked out a GT by Citroen Road Car, and the cashless 4-star Wheel of Despair puked out a semi-racing muffler.

Whipped up and shared six Macross Valkyrie liveries for the Hyundai N VGT (Gr.1): Two VF-1S (Focker and Hikaru), two VF-1J (Max and Milia), a VF-1D, and a VF-1A.

Finished the new Weekly Challenges.

Collected rewards from a dozen or so 3, 4, and 6-Star Roulette Tickets that I've been sitting on. Notable prizes were an X2019, Supra Gr.4, RX-Vision GT3, and a LaFerrari.
 
I started something new for me to try and really improve my skills. I’ve been playing GT since GT2 but always with HUD on and some assist etc. Today I took my trusty Porsche GT3 RS ‘22 and went straight for the ‘Ring 24hr layout at midnight for a full TT session without any HUD, assists and visual cues. Braking by memory and visual reference points only.

A whole new experience for me and I am seriously having so much fun and actually becoming more focused on driving and “feeling” the car like never before.

PS5 OG on controller, but what an experience it is!

Why I haven’t done this before? My kids are now on senior year HS, and finally I have some free time available.

Yes, I love this game 😊🔥
 
So far today, I've done seven campaign mode races. 3 at RBR, 2 at Deep Forest, 1 at GV South and 1 at DT Gardens
I've done some drift trials, took seven scapes photos, did 3 daily races and worked on some of the BMW time trial at Dragon Trail Gardens. That's it so far.
 


When you forget you're on the Tourist Layout

It's great that this variant of the track is in the game - I've never really appreciated why before, but having been to the Nürb for the first time this year, it makes much more sense.

You inspired me to do a couple of laps in the 911 Carerra RS (901) '73, which I remember thinking was pretty much the most fun I've ever had in GT driving it on the Nordschleife - it was a huge and very welcome surprise to realise that it was so much fun and handles almost perfectly. By an incredible (and I really mean that) coincidence, I met a guy at the circuit who actually owns and races that very car at the Nürb with his father, and I'm planning to get back in touch with him and see if he and his Dad are going back next year.

A lap around the Nordschleife in the '73 911 is almost perfect (even when I'm driving it 😅 ), but the thought of being in that thing in real life is crazy - and the thought that I might be able to actually experience it IRL is mindblowing... even if I'd be in the passenger seat :crazy:

I did a 30 minute race around Saint Croix B for stock hatchbacks. You can watch the final lap below, it was me in the black Polo GTI vs the AI in the silver AMG, racing for the win. The AMG, having significantly more power, pulled away on the back straight and my only hope was to catch up in the S-corners at the end of the lap. I managed to take a good line and pulled up next to the AMG, forced him to take the long way around the final turn and then “accidentally” blocked him a little in the drag race towards the finish line.

The stewards awarded me the clean race bonus, so clearly they were okay with it ;)

 
did a gt2 trial mountain 30 lap event in gt7 with GReddy Fugu Z one make race it was fun due to the car meeting the 295 hp requirement out of the dealership.
 
I got penalized for nothing. Do you see a 5 sec penalty here?

Yes, in rainy conditions on the WTC700 @ Le Mans the penalties are increased and your front right tyre did go over and past the rumble strip at beginning of first chicane.
I have been hit with this and i fully examined all different views in replay and even in photo mode paused and walk around to see where my wheel went past edge of rumble strip.
 
Not really today, this was yesterday and the couple days before. I decided to try out one of my favourite money grinders outside of the very single race it usually does, which is Le Mans 700pp. So I took my non-swapped Skyline R32 GT-R V-Spec through the whole WTC700 series of events. Needless to say, the car was absolutely dominant on all of them and it was a pleasure to drive, all races were done in Normal difficulty with FM6 and RH tires. Never had the need to change them, not even at Le Mans where I got a couple rain showers that were manageable without switching to Inters.

Definitely going to do this again with some of my other favourite cars, it's a nice way to break the routine.

I took the swapped Jag to LeMans. I started at FM6 which was enough for 8 laps so I changed to FM4 which gave about 7 laps so I was planning on 1 stop to change tires. The rain came around lap 2 so switched to IM which I used until lap 6. Normally I would have tried to finish on lap 6 but I wanted to get the fastest lap so I pitted switched tires and took fuel so I could run FM1 and not worry about fuel. So I spent the last two laps going after the FL which I did. Got 30k cr from 4 ⭐ 🎫 .

ya but that shouldn't be a 5 sec penalty, maybe .5 sec, no advantage was gained. I could see it if i flew across the chicane.

Not when it's rainy, I have been hit with 9 second penalty for ignoring track limits at first Porsche curve in the rain. The penalties are increased at this track when it rains.
 
I’m looking to create good, close, racing vs AI at the Nurburgring. This one was back and forth for 2 laps.
My goal is to have tuned, high performance cars without BoP. The BoP really seems to kill the liveliness of good cars.
Tonight, I’ll swap the car that I drive.

up the damping ratio (compression) to 34-35 and try it, steering will be much more responsive. try taking the anti-roll up a notch or 2 also.

I have been hit with 35 sec penalty in the rain one time which I thought was really dumb because I lost control of the car and I wasn't trying to cut the track. I would love to see the get slapped with penalties. TBH though I would probably end running into those cars because they do the penalties right when I am trying to pass them 🤣 🤣🤣🤣
