Today was just practicising for the GTWS on saturday. A mixture of dialy races testing and lobby races that had the format of the GTWS Race.

  • Started the Genesis X VGT TT and saw Tidgney on the top so well doen there!
  • Did some daily Races B & C, was utterly chaotic, got piunted by numerous morons at Nurburring, 2nd race was better.
  • Won a 4 star roulette, got 10k in creds. oh yes!
  • Bought the Mclarens needed for the book.
  • Tuned up the Mp4-12C to 900bhp and honed around Tsukuba and SS Route X.
  • Finished the menu book for Mclaren and got all their cars, already luckily had the F1 before, so the Utilamte Solus VGT thingy seemed cheap in comparision.
  • Did some intense argy bargy at Trial mountain in prep for the GTWS exhibtion race.
  • Unlocked a 6 star roulette and for the first time won a 1mill Bars of gold!!! Crazy luck Come on! hehe...

On the GTP account, I collected 1,000,000 Cr. for getting silver at the expired time trial, then saw my time at Nurburgring fell to bronze. I rectified that by improving my time by nearly a half-second, which might hold. I don't have a silver in me at St. Croissant, managing only a 2:47.8.

As I ignored the Weekly Challenges up to this point, I hit those, looking for non-overpowered wins, after taking my 4-star Wheel of Despair for an invite and buying a pair of Alfa Romeo 155's, one to keep stock and one to tune:
  • Brands Hatch European Clubman Cup in 5:13 with a stock 2007 BMW M3
  • Nurburgring Schwarzwald League in a dry 7:57 with a stock 2009 Porsche 911 (fortunately, the 2022 Porsche 911 wasn't in this race)
  • Monza Hypercar Parade in 9:32 with a stock Ferrari F8 Tributo
  • St. Croix Nissan GT-R Cup in 10:59 with a stock 2024 Nissan GT-R
  • After many restarts between catching traffic in the wrong spot and self-crashing, the Nurburgring Special Event in an unclean 15:23 with a stock Alfa Romeo 155

I hadn't touched the Plus account since the 1.52 update. Instead of collecting the Extra Menu prize, getting the new cars or doing most of the new events/new Menu Book, I did the Weekly Challenges with gusto as there were only a few hours left to do them:
  • Brands Hatch in 4:55 with a 2022 Porsche 911 tuned to 683 PP
  • Nurburgring Schwarzwald in 7:39 with the same Porsche
  • Monza in 9:44 with...you guessed it...the same Porsche (while spamming the DRS)
  • St. Croix in 10:47 with a stock 2017 Nissan GT-R NISMO
  • Nurburgring Special in 13:59 with a stock Porsche 919
For a change, the 4-star workout ticket wasn't a Wheel of Despair - I got a McLaren 650S GT3, which I hung onto for stock purposes.

Well this was yesterday, today im prepping for the Exhibiton round 2 race in the GTWS.

  • Did some daily races B & C, was not bad in the Jag X-type GT3 car. Very competent among the meta crowd.
  • Got two stupid 6 star ticket (parts) token and won 2 pointless lightwieght body stage 5 twice which is annoying (for Viper + GTR R35).
  • Modded my Hiace and did some of the weekly races, like sunday cup which was fun.
  • No time trial attacks today!
  • Did the Civic race Vtec at Kyoto Driving park.
  • Did a good lobby race with A rank racers and held my ground on the race, along 22 lap race with 2 pits requirments, and got 8th overall, not bad. I also didn't realise becuase maybe I not an A rated driver, but there is a third menu on the pits for vehicle damage, I thought was quite cool. Also heavy damage in these upper class races last for alot longer till you enter the pits to fix.

I did several American Clubman Cup races and finished first in each, did 2 WTC 800 races. One at Sardegna and the other at Suzuka. Took 10 car scape photos, and did 5 drift trials at Tokyo. Had a fun productive weekend.

Oh, did 10 daily races at Interlagos and TM into this morning. I'm tired.

I did the WC and I bought the Alfa & Shelby that were available in Hagerty's. I wasn't planning on getting the Alfa but I saw that it had the arrow pointing up so I went ahead and bought one. Got 30k cr from a ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🎫
 
Earned probably just under a million credits by doing the weekly challenges and Menu 51 at the café. Oh, and got bronze by doing Nurburgring Sprint with the GT-R T-Spec.
 
Well today was just a quick playthrough just getting used to the new daily races, which I only did Race B at Sardegna.
  • I tried the Nissan T spec TT again but couldnt improve, well i did but it was invalidated lap so booo!
  • Checked my ranking for the GTWS and they stacking up pretty good so far.
  • Then moved onto the Daily Race B and choose my Black livery Huracan gt3, set an ok tiem and was placed 14th on grid.
  • Chugged through the race it was very close and very cool sprint race, ended up overall 7th which is pretty good
  • Helped boost my SR and DR up more.
  • Purchased at the LCD the Shelby Gt350 and wen and truned into a voodoo v8 monster replica of Eleanor! Lovely car great sound. Tried to envisage the GONE IN 60 SECS film at Scapes and also got a NFS The run feel about it.
Will do some more testing tomo at Tuskuba and SS Route X!

EnJOY!

I played a couple of races this morning .... Then I bit the bullet and decided ahead of the weekend, I fancy an upgrade....

Screenshot_20241016_112521.jpg

Logitch G923 Trueforce, GTOmega Apex stand and a nice mat.

Upgrading from the Thrustmaster T150 and it's rubbish pedals, and my wheelstand pro which is about 14 years old 😂😂

Completed the weeklies, other than Michelin Raceway they where uneventful.
Got an ultra turbo for a Chiron out of the parts ticket, 150k out of the money ticket, and an AMG VGT out of the car ticket. Got a Mitsi Lancer out of the marathon ticket.
I'm not keen on Michelin Raceways pit entry or exit both are downright dangerous especially in cars this fast I've had people block me going into the pits here and essentially cut across me on the exit.
To win at Michelin Raceway I took two attempts in both I had competition from SRT Tomahawks so that was my choice of wheels on attempt two, had to dial the pace down a lot to hit 950pp but the car is insanely fast, other than using an open wheeler I don't think anything else could compete.
