Just cover the 3 of 13 millions that spend for Barker .
I use the Peugeot 908 fap 10 after managing to bring it down to 700 pp and use it at la sarthe .
Its definitely not fast ( lapping around 4.10's ) but .....
But is incredible " safe " ,has huge grip and the fuel economy was outstanding.
Can run 5 laps on FM1 without fuel saving.

Ok , i agree that is definitely a " wrong use" for such cars but ..... nobody is perfect 😂 .
Took my first 3* after 11 days and the second of this month.
3 days of griding left for the rest 10 millions ( hope Billionaire don't read this and start laughing for the next 3 days) and ill start buying again.

Other than that ,today is the second biggest religious celebration here ( called the Easter of summer) and they are " festivals" allover the country.
They drink a pool and eat the " agleora "( greek expression )and when they drive back home are in divorce situation with responsibility.

That's in brief, wish you all a pleasant day.
 
1. Le Mans today with another Gr.B car. The NSX that, I believe, was a reward from completing an extra menu. The car performed well enough in stock form. Could get into a slide pretty easy if you weren't careful, but even if you did slide, it was very controllable.

@smoothbore12 - As far as the weather, I had (LR) appear in the radar the the end of Lap 2 and last until the beginning of Lap 4. Slicks were still OK. At the end of Lap 5, there was another period of (LR) but some (R) mixed in, I was due for a pit stop soon so I decided to swap to the IM tires just in case. The rain was brief and wouldn't last even half way into Lap 6, slicks were probably fine to keep on.

2. My Daily Workout ticket granted me a 3* worth 5k Credits ... at least it's better than parts. But the game teased me with a Lamborghini invite :irked:

3. Fuji - back again for the Super Formula race on Hard. Tried a tune I found and had decent results with it, stretched a set of RS tires 10 laps at TC0. The race was dry so ultimately finished P6 behind the AI that did a no-stop on RH ... I wonder if RM tires are fast enough and can last 15 laps should there be no rain 🤔

4. Received my engine gift which gave a 911 RSR engine and the Ambulance ... I think I know my next car for Le Mans :lol:

1. Went to Le Mans for the Scientific Weather Researches conducted by the Pr. @smoothbore12 !
Weather was really fine. Some clouds during 3rd and 4th lap and only few drops in the 5th. No need for inter. tyres.

2. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ : a motor for a Pagani - Worth Cr. 775.000

3. Improved my PB on the 1st sector of Suzuka CE: 0:33.896
Sector 2: 0:13.985
Sector 3: 0:12.248
Sector 4: 0:25.962
Sector 5: 0:22.988

TBH, I have no idea what these golden scores worth as I have no comparison for now. On each sector, I'm pretty close from the demo ghosts. Will work on the Suzuka CE final lap to get gold before next TT start on Thursday.


@djolliea : I saw your new PBs on IB and IA... :scared: Have you been abducted recently? Is there a nuclear power plan next to your house? I need serious explanations to understand :D
Congrats, your scores are nothing but exceptionals :cheers:

I'll be working on the Suzuka CE the next couple of days, too. I'll see you on the boards!
 
As holidays are over it take a bit to make the LeMans League for my son. I have to real time to make the money for the cars. Means I have to do Spa over and over again. But right now as my son's plays other games. There is no motivation to do something....

4. As I couldn't improved my PB on RBR TT with Godzilla (43 days but my golden score will probably won't hold in the next days), I keep on working on Suzuka CE with the objective to be close as possible to the demo scores:
Sector 1: 0:33.896
Sector 2: 0:13.985 0:13.837
Sector 3: 0:12.248
Sector 4: 0:25.962 0:25.592
Sector 5: 0:22.988

Final lap: 1:50.889 🥇 (after only 2 tries)

If I add all the sectors times, I get a theoretical lap in 1:48.561. This means I can gain more than 2 seconds on my current PB.
I really hope that below 1:50 would be a decent score for the next TT.
 
1. Tuned the Ambulance and took it to Le Mans. P20, I can't say I'm surprised. But, if you needed to get to the hospital, an ambulance with a top speed over 220 kph might be ideal? :lol:

@smoothbore12 - Weather was somewhat more intense than I've seen. Mind, these laps were over 5 mins each. Lap 2 saw (LR) appear on the radar, but by Lap 3 that had turned into (HR). More green and yellow than I've seen here before. Lap 4 the rain cleared. Lap 5 had a brief period of (R) but mostly was (LR). By Lap 6 the sun was out ... Never made it to Lap 7.

2. Daily workout resulted in a 4* ticket worth 30k Credits. It's ok because ...

3. Got my birthday car! Thanks PD 🎂

4. So, I slapped some RH tires on that baby and took it to Le Mans!

Once I adjusted to the car's braking distance, it was quite nice to drive. Very fast, very thirsty. In FM6, it still needs to pit for fuel every 2 laps. But even in that restricted state, the top end is plenty for this race.

Weather - straight forward. (LR) appeared on the radar end of Lap 2 but would not wet the track and lasted until the end of Lap 3. A narrow band of (LR) again appeared at Lap 5, gone by 6. Effectively a dry race, no tire changes required.

5. P1 Super Formula at Fuji on hard. RS tires, no stop. TC0 ABS-default.
 
Could i please ask how many hours a day you spend on Gran Turismo on average to reach 100 million that quick, it would take myself around 6 months.
 
After a skipped day, on the GTP account, I took delivery of the ambulance and an engine ticket pushing out a 911 RSR engine. I ground Sarthe with the Lamborghini Huracan Gr.4 for the cash and a 4-star Wheel of Despair that puked out a camshaft s for the Mazda3. As I had the cash, I bought the Audi RS 5 DTM.

On the Plus account, I got my ambulance and an engine ticket pushing out a 911 RSR engine (sounds familiar). I used the Red Bull Junior to get the money and an all-cash 4-star Wheel of Despair that puked out the low-showing/lowest possible 10,000 Cr.
 
Retuned the Boss 429 swap with Mr.P’s updated tune. Ran it once at LeMans, fell asleep after I had to pit at the end of lap 5. I hit the pit wall hard, which put me back on track with 1/2 worn IM’s and .7 laps of fuel in the tank. Fortunately, the monsoon gave me a 1.4 minute lead. Got into my best fuel-saving mode, winning the race in 6 laps and 40 seconds to spare on 4 red tires. Luckily, most of the field pitted on lap 6 and couldn’t make up the gap. And for all that, the wheel dropped a race muffler for the GAC Maverick.
 
Well I did it again 100M spend in BC my goal is to own every car in ever color in BC.

In total I bought 213 cars as I get closer to owning everything in BC down to 18.7K with a total of 1423 cars in my garage I really hope that 2K car limit isn't true.

A note its more time consuming buying every color for a car that has lets say 25 colors then it is grinding 100M it almost took me a hour to buy the 213 cars.

Checking my archives today that i keep after the last update till yesterday 15 of the month i have the following results from La Sarthe.

Dry races = 5

Light rain to dry or the opposite = 7

Light rain to rain or the opposite plus just rain = 9

Heavy rain to rain or the opposite = 6

So far we have 12 dry or almost dry races and 15 that wet tyres ( including intermediates ) use, is mandatory.

Thanks to all the guys contribution to this , especially @GlockPants with his very detailed reports.

Other than that ,am doing another research,again at La Sarthe using a specific car to evaluate intermediate tyres wear.
I read somewhere that someone " notice" that intermediate tyres last a bit longer ( for two laps ) in a bone dry race after the last update.
Personally i don't believe that is happening such a change and after all almost every powerful car i use after 1.31 can keep for two laps the intermediate tyres.
Tyre wear depends on many factors, weight of the car, weight transfer , hp , speed that you can carry ,etc.etc.
Just need one dry race to confirm what i already " know" ( i guess).

Anything I can do to help 😁.
 
Took the tuned himedic to colorado springs, then did a 16 ambulance grid at Catalunya Rallycross. Highly recommend, it's a blast especially in VR, gave me some good laughs seeing the pack of ambulances on such a small circuit. Thing is a lot of fun offroading.

Later in the evening took the F50 for a couple laps, gave in and cleared the SF Fuji race finally after not trying for months on a lower difficulty, got the fictional 80s inspired Gran Turismo branded Formula car I can't remember the name of. Took it for 3 laps at the Nordschleife, that thing is a lot of fun, happy with that reward, I had no idea it was even a car in this game.

Your dedication is immense, i hope you achieve your goals in Gt 7.
 
1. As I couldn't improved my PB on RBR TT with Godzilla (impossible to lap below 1:31 this morning...:banghead: I'll be back later), I keep on working on Suzuka CE with the objective to be close as possible to the demo scores:

Sector 1: 0:33.896 - +0.346 compare to the demo. I'm not very comfortable with these "S" but I'm working on it.

Sector 2: 0:13.837 - faster than the demo

Sector 3: 0:12.248 0:12.229 - +0.110 compare to the demo. The hairpin is the tricky point, for me. I must work this sector to avoid ruining my laps.

Sector 4: 0:25.592 - faster than the demo

Sector 5: 0:22.988 0:22.900 - +0.011 compare to the demo. It's acceptable :sly:

The Suzuka full lap CE demo is at 1:48.946 but the CE Top 10 is at 1:47.xxx with the NSX Concept.
So if we have similar scores on the TT (assuming the parameters are the same) and if my calculations are corrects, any score below 1:50 should be in gold.

2. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ : Cr. 10.000 :guilty:
