Re-golded all the Asia CE's except those 6 Tokyo ones, I'll circle back to those later and then I re-golded the Laguna CE. I did spend some of the CE's with TCS on 1, but I think I'm getting an idea of where the limit is so I went back to no TCS for the last few CE's.

On the Plus account (yes, I ran it today), after collecting the GTWS watch cars (keeping them for tuning purposes), I did the Weekly Challenges in a more-or-less stomping fashion:
  • Tsukuba Sunday Cup Classic in 3:26 with a stock Nissan R33 GT-R V-spec (1997 counts as a "classic" car in my locale)
  • Spa Japanese Clubman Cup in 8:25 with the same R33
  • Kyoto Porsche Cup in a stock Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport (hey, the rules didn't say "no race cars")
  • Brands Hatch Specisl Event in 7:49 with a BAC Mono tuned to 676 PP (using an old @Jump_Ace tune for that car's Human Comedy mission, which grew by 20 PP over the course of the physics/PP changes)
  • A somewhat-wet (rain until lap 4, spun in the last corner on lap 7 as my intermediates were worn out, stupidly took another set that lap as I was fooled by the radar before switching to the stock mediums) in 19:10 with a BMW McLaren F1 GTR that, other than the rain tires, was stock
The 6-star ticket for the Challenges was kind, giving 1,000,000 Cr., while the 4-star Wheel of Despair gave the 2nd-low-showing/lowest-possible 10,000 Cr.

On the GTP account, in addition to the 2 GTWS cars (the Genesis kept for tuning purposes, the Skoda sold for 612,430 Cr.), I picked up 1,000,000 Cr. for correctly guessing Gallo as the Nations Cup winner and 750,000 Cr. for bronzing the two expired time trials.

I eventually got into the 2:35s at Mount Panorama with a rented Clio (should be a solid silver time). The Laguna Seca time wasn't nearly as good, as 1:24.8 is at best mid-bronze.

The all-cash 4-star Wheel of Despair gave the middle-showing/lowest-possible 10,000 Cr.
 
Today I...

Drove this much first time ever going over 2K miles in 1 day.

All miles with my P1.

I’ve realised I’ve never golded the World GT Series Championship, and as the Toyota GT One was already set for 800 PP I gave it another go. Did the first three races, even got the CRB on Deep Forest!
Today it’s off to my least favourite track, Bathurst, and then the grand finale in the Eifel region of course.
 
I did a few arcade races at Eiger, Barcelona and Tokyo, took 10 scapes, did a couple Japanese Clubman Cup races and worked on some of the HSR time challenge. And did one event to complete the Weekly Challenges for this week. That's all. Oh, and I did a few CE's at Spa/Tokyo too.
 
Yesterday I completed the US tarmac CEs and did one of the Tokyo CEs. I'll try and start on the Europe CEs soon, then move on to the License Tests.

Last night, I didnt do much, just did a single run of Le Mans and succedded in getting the CRB at wet Fuji race by no-stopping. My Wets were dead by the end! I then did a session in the AMG TT. I'm 2 tenths off of gold at the moment, so will probably try some again over the weekend.

I love that series. It used to be my grind series, because of how varied it is. The last 2 races are absolutely stunning tracks. Bathurst race starts before dawn and goes into the daylight, with sunrise over Brock's Skyline and the Nurburgring race is a sim of the N24. Take it all in! No that I'm thinking about it, I should go back and do the series again later.
 
Just did alot of time trails and got some rewards for previous TT that have expired.

Also did the weekly race to test my BMW, it better now I used Fossil Fuels YT video tuning guide to fix that bloody car!
My collection of DTM racers has just started, now wheres that EVO 190E lol.

Getting ready for the Nations cup race tomo, and relaised in DR Group B the race is 32 laps oh gosh! Some endurance here then.
Made an ok start qualy time of 1:18 so lets go and get ready for this!

Today Clio V6 at Bathurst TT lost the back end under heavy braking near the chicane at the top of the hill donked the nearside 3/4 panel on one of the boards, good lap lost.
Did the Euro cup weekly in the same Clio. Simple win.
Suzuka 800, took what was my trusted favourite the Jaguar XJ9 out for a raz, first outing in 1.49 had to drop the power and put on racing hards to get under 800pp, in the dry this now spits it's toys out of the pram swapping ends far too vigorously, continued to drive won back the lead after a pirouette. Rain came car behaved better in the wet, inters not available due to the PP limit (inters being higher PP than slicks?). Last 4 laps back on slicks keeping on the dry track but not pushing hard, win by 1:01.
 
Back again, play some more later this evening and really had fun with the MAZDA 6, went Dukes style airborne and tried some Transporter turns and drifitng.

Did some daily race B fun and it was all bumpy and annoying, not really good placements in the Aston V8 vantage, and the lambo all twitchy.

Faired better in the Daily Race A with Sambabus, little bit of argy bargy alot with this wedge of a van, then tuned mine after with a Flat 6 engine postrace and it became cool and slapped some nice liverys on it! to comemorate SEGA! So cool!

Today I did the weekly challenges and the GT World Championship in my DBR9. I don’t remember the DBR9 being so understeery. I got back on after the LCD updated, bought the MkIV GT40, and then took it to Le Mans and ran it twice.
 
I started testing my grid of 00’s touring cars with the new physics. The sports suspension is not enough with the slicks, so I’m going to have to upgrade it to a fully customisable suspension.

The Civic actually became an excellent car with this change, prior to 1.49 it was my least favourite of the touring cars, due to its poor cornering performance, but now I had a lot of fun driving it around Saint Croix B.

I also learned that this track has more elevation changes and bumps than I remembered, I guess these things are more pronounced with the new physics.

 
This was from yesterday, but Hypercar Parade is one of my favorite GT7 events.

Onn recent run involves me using my customized Honda Civic Type R (FL5) '22; I did win this round of Hypercar Parade and I enjoy using different cars from my garage in this race.

This morning I delved into Sophy races a little bit. Genuinely enjoyed it.

I'm amazed this isn't just the default AI setting for any race, also it would be amazing if you could set custom races with Sophy (ie a one hour red bull ring race with changeable weather or something)
 
Sunday morning and I:

- drove 15 laps or so at Bathrust but with no improvement at the Clio online time trial.

- bought a Mazda RX-500 from the LCD and test drove it at Nurburgring (from the start line up to Foxhole). That sounds amazing!!!!!

Today was a decent gaming session if any in the world of GT7!

I took out my Mazda ROTARY RX500 and did sum tuning 420bhp to 720kg kerb wieght, and livery cahnge, give it this green and white Kyosho livery very nice, very retro cool!
Then went and did some weekly races to catchup some coins.
Moved onto the Daily Race A, this was fun and acheived a 5th place in the speed demon race.
Then moved onto Daily Race B and this was too choatic. First race ok got some positons, but very bumpy all the way round.
Second race was horrlble, got binned on turn 5 or 6 before by the slow down markers by a brit guy called funbox in the RS01 Renualt. Terrible!

Then began to tackle the piece by piece assimilation of the CE at Eiger Norwand, already had silvers but wanted to master and GOLD it, which I did!

I did more testing on Eiger in my LaFerrari and decided to just run through the pits. When the auto drive takes over it scraps your car against the right wall! It did the same thing in the F40 🤷🏻‍♂️. Not good for your expensive paint 😂

— in the FXX K it hits the wall hard enough for sparks

Went on a little shopping haul, got the Porsche 959 and it dawned on me: the Porsche along with the F40 on Grand Valley… thats Test Drive 2 all over again 😍😍😍 got to recreate a custom race with that theme.

Did Spa in the RC F GT500 again and had tons of rain this time, nice sunrise though. Won by two laps, so next time I’ll take the gamble and try one of the Gr. 3 cars.

Payout was pretty neat, I’ve got 500,000 Cr. from a 4* on top of Spa 🤑

Completed the weeklies:
mitsi lancer for the Japanese 4wd challenge
Volvo on racing slicks at Eiger
Skyline Silhouette in the race of turbo 700pp's.

Got the weekly bonuses and got a 6* ticket for my efforts too. 500k off the ticket. Watched the first lap of both races.
 
After reading so many posts about the McLaren P1 and Isle of Man Subaru, I decided to try them both out today. I'd say they are above average in handling and speed compared to similar PP rated cars. Definitely will get used more often now. Note- I had to repaint the Subaru because the Three Legged sticker creeped me out.
 
I may bet a ps5 pro to go along with a ps5 slim for a PlayStation portal for ps5 SLim on a hardwire 8700 integrated graphics card: Steinberg axr4u with a focal alpha Evo 65 boom box in 8 months
