Bought the E-Type and the 917k. Ran both at LeMans. Got 10k from the wheel.
What did you do in GT7 today?

On the Plus account, I bought the last Brand Central car available - the 2021 Toyota GR010 HYBRID. I then double-dipped at Sarthe (with the Genesis G70 GR4) and Sardegna (with the Jaguar F-type Gr.3) for the mileage and a second High Lift Cam Shaft for the 2014 Jaguar F-type from the 4-star Wheel of Despair.
As I had the cash, I got the Porsche Spyder out of Hagerty's to complete that Extra Menu. That gave me the GT-R NISMO engine. Guess I'll never get that Escudo engine to go along with nobody who doesn't already have the Escudo ever being able to get one.
On the GTP account, after buying the Jaguar F-type Gr.4 for this week's WRS time trial, I did the Supra daily double, using the Toyota GR Supra Race Car at Sarthe and the Supra GT500 at Sardegna. The 3-star Wheel of Despair chucked up the lowest-possible 5,000 Cr. Bah humbug!

Got a ultra high turbo for a Chiron that I don't own (four star ticket). Ran four races for my custom BTCC grid and created an excel spreadsheet to track the season. I also built 6 Carrera CS racecars after fully maxing them out and widebody-ing them. Even the Priano tune doesn't keep these things steady under braking..

Started bumping up my medals on the Nordschleife CE, but I've developed a migraine. The runs were going well, but with anti migraine meds my reaction times are too slow to get gold.
Got time for a run of the Spa 800 or 2x Le Mans. I think I'll go to LeMans and be the Bandit for a while. Or I may take my RX-826B to Spa.

A couple of practise races ready for tomorrow's Manufacturers Cup. Mileage ticket gods smiled on me for once, a very nice Gr1 Pug. Even better as that was on the backup account I only use for Sport mode, so without grinding the garage is a bit empty.
Raced round Daytona a few times against the meta GTRs - I don't get on with that one but managed to pick a few off with my Porsche and McLaren. Will try the Ferrari next.

Sold my McLaren F1 '94 and purchased the Ford GT40 MKIV and took it to Le Mans 700PP. I barely used the F1 so it isn't too much of a loss tbh I will just eventually purchase it again but the GT40 did pretty well at Le Mans. Also currently saving up for the 917, from what i've read the handling is not good and even though the MKIV doesn't have the best handling, it's pretty stable though slippery at times.

Yeah haven't used that porsche for months, but iirc handling was awful. Under braking or when lifting off throttle at speed.
Praiano advised too expensive, so no tune available from the master yet.

On the GTP account, I used the Vipers at Sarthe and Sardegna. Both the GT3 and Gr.4 are amazingly-quick, even if the GT3 isn't all that thrifty. The parts Wheel of Despair choked up yet another Stroke Up S for...wait for it...the DeLorean.
On the Plus account, I used the Huracans at Sarthe and Sardegna. Sarthe was a wet mess - I found the guardrail twice while on IMs, but it still was a 6-lap laugher. The GT3 is a bit squirrely, but it worked at Sardegna. The 3-star Wheel of Despair (surprise) gave not the usual lowest-possible 5,000 Cr., but a full-custom suspension for the 2002 Viper.

.. what did I do today eh ??.. broke a cardinal GT rule, I fell asleep at the wheel.. smh.. had been grinding my ass off the past couple weeks at TM in my trusty..
.. so I could purchase..
.. this was all supposed to happen last night by 530 PST.. but no, the wifey breaks out with a Rib Eye Steak, Baked Potato with butter/ sour cream, green salad and a nice bottle of Chianti for din at 230 PST.. this was supposed to be so easy.. Anyways, long story short, I eat & then it's counting Enzo's in my sleep..
Fast forward.. I'm at 8.2M credits, only needed another 800k.. wake up this morning (early) and decided to get in another quicky at the TM Hyper..
.. blow up a blazer of a 9:33, decide to shut it down, go change the oil, give the car a quick cleaner (done), back out, go to check out the Legends to make sure my Strassen is there.. AND..
.. SMH.. if it wasn't for that tasty ass dinner I'd be crusin' around TM in that Strassen right now..
Morale of the story, chicks/wives, whatever.. if your focused on something, stay that way..
DON'T LOSE YOUR FOCUS!
.. so in the meantime.. back to TM..
.. not sure if wanna keep run'n my Porsches, perhaps it's time to break out some of them Italian rides.. regardless, I just had a strange feeling when I got up this morning that sure enough I was "asleep at the wheel".. have a good day and a better night gentlemen..

Oh man, that's a tough pill to swallow.
As you've acknowledged, and other similar elite level sports people always mention, you have to be single minded, laser focused to succeed.
Hence why I got divorced 5 years ago, was interfering with my climb to the top In FiFA soccer video games.... (joking of course. Well, about fifa, not the divorce
).

On the Plus account, I used the Suzuki Swift Sport Gr.4, which is, I believe, the last Gr.4 I hadn't used, for the Sarthe half of the Daily Double Grind. I then lapped everybody except 2nd at Sardegna with the 2008 Nissan GT-R GT500. The 4-star marathon roulette gave the Weight Reduction Stage 5 for the 2017 Lexus LC500.
On the GTP account, I used variants of the McLaren 650S for the Daily Double Grind. The Gr.4 barely won a soaking-wet Sarthe race, while the GT3 took a tight Sardegna as Beauvois got trapped behind lapped traffic and I made the second set of tires last 9 laps. The all-cash 5-star Wheel of Despair gave the lowest-possible/3rd-lowest-showing 100,000 Cr., leaving me more than 4.6 million Cr. short of being able to buy the Porsche 917K. That is the only sub-20,000,000-Cr. car for which a new body is available that I don't have in either collection.

Bought a Toyota Sprinter Trueno, took it to Sardegna C, modified it then took it to Road Atlanta. Fun little car let down by an iffy diff. I then drove my modified De Tomaso Pantera around Interlagos.

Worked on this thing for the last few days. About 1500 lines of "code" within the last week or so, but I had the luxury of having most of the math already done in a spreadsheet. Its definitely bloated.
Its not anywhere near done yet either, and I'm stuck on the camber and differential settings. I'm not even sure if I should even attempt to add them in at all.

Well yesterday was good, tried to tackle the NSX Nurburgring daily time attack again, but realised my black NSX-R car all oversterry and flying ont he bumps, had to try a tune to get it more planted. Anyone got a goood tuning setup for this track?
Then I did the Lemans CE final full lap, always end up being shy of the Gold time. Will keep attacking it as much as possible. Then I also did some grinding on Lemans GT4 race for 550,000, and get that clean race bonus of 825k which is weet always. Saving up to buy a FORD GT '16 to play with.

On the Plus account, I used variants of the Hyundai Genesis for the Daily Double Grind (Gr.4 at Sarthe, Gr.3 at Sardegna). It was the usual lowest-possible 10,000 Cr. from the 4-star Wheel of Despair.
On the GTP account, I used non-standard variants of the Honda NSX for the Daily Double Grind (Gr.B at Sarthe, RH-shod 2008 GT500 at Sardegna). The now-usual 3-star Wheel of Despair gave the usual lowest-possible 5,000 Cr. I'm still about 2.1 million Cr. short of being able to buy the Porsche 917K
