I beat the 30 minute race(finally) for the Weekly races finished all 5 races, earned two gift cars: Honda NsX Type R ‘02 in Silver Metallic color and a Ford GT ‘17 in Liquid Blue color. After that made a quick run in Autoplois GT3 race securing victory in that as well. Then boldly purchased a used Ferrari 430 Scuderia ‘07 in Grigio Alloy color with 28,722 miles on her for 363,500 credits! The One day I happen to look in the Used car dealership and there’s a car I haven’t collected, the Ferrari is a real beauty! Until tomorrow Gran Turismo 7!
What car did you use for Road Atlanta?
 
Today in GT7 completed the marathon, obtained a silver ticket.

Strolled through 4 of 5 races for the weekly earned two of three rewards in 20 minutes.

Tomorrow to finish that weekly and obtain all rewards for them(open them of course). Until next time GT7.

Missed doing a time trial for the 2,000,000 credits. oof
I’ve only ever been good enough to grab one silver medal, 22 bronze so far. Though I’ve had the game for 4 years only last year did I try the sport area. Just fine with the time trials and not so good with the daily a,b,c races. Find that my competitive nature would cause me to mess up big time. It’s a curse I believe. But hey don’t worry you’ll get the next one right? Dragon Trail C course has the long straights and weird triple apex. Hope to hear your story soon!

It was Weekly Challenge day. On the GTP account:
  • BB Raceway Sunday Cup in 1:29 with a stock Mazda Demio
  • Autopolis Japanese FF Challenge in 3:00 with a stock 1998 Honda Civic
  • Kyoto Evolution Meeting in 7:53 with a 2004 Mitsubishi Evo VIII tuned to 678 PP (honestly a bit of overkill, but I needed all that power in a different Evolution Meeting)
  • Suzuka Special; Event in 9:41 with a stock Mazda Roadster Touring Car (after a few false starts)
  • Road Atlanta Gr.1 Prototype Series in 31:02/25 laps with a stock Porsche 919 on FM 5 and a 1-stop (with tire change) strategy...only after hundreds of miles of restarts
The parts ticket gave an ultra-high rpm turbo for the 2002 Mazda RX-7, the car ticket gave a 2015 Audi R8 LMS (hung onto rather than being dumped for a mere 284,470 Cr.), and the 3-star Wheel of Despair gave the 2nd-lowest-showing/lowest-possible 5,000 Cr. As time was short, I glossed over the time trial and went to the Plus account.

On the Plus account, the Weekly Challenges went as such:
  • BB Raceway in 1:16 with a stock 2022 Honda Civic
  • Autopolis in 2:50 with the same Civic
  • Kyoto in 7:48 with a 2006 Mitusbishi Evo IX tuned to 687 PP (though I need to sort out the adjustable parts)
  • Suzuka in 9:37 with a Mazda Roadster Touring Car tuned to 584 PP
  • A very-sloppy second at Road Atlanta in exactly 30:00 with a stock SF23 Honda
The parts ticket gave a stroke up s for the 2004 Subaru Impreza, the car Wheel of Despair gave a SF19 Toyota (sold for 374,950 Cr.), and the all-cash 4-star Wheel of Despair gave the middle fing...er...showing/lowest-possible 10,000 Cr.
 
I finished the Evo menu book. I was surpised at the Colorado springs race because I thought I might have to adjust the tune for that track but just putting on the dirt tires was enough. I got titanium rods for 2019 C7 from a ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 🎫. Then I took the Daytona Coupe to LeMans. I started at FM6 on RS got out of the curve leading to the Mulsanne and to my surprise I saw a car heading my way just as I noticed the yellow flag. It was kinda of funny because all of the AI in front got out of the way of the car driving backwards and I was unable to get out of the way and the car ran right into me. I took a lot of damage and dropped down to 19th. I didn't think that I passed anyone but I didn't want to lose the CRB over something out of my control so I restarted the race. I really wish I was able to save a replay of that scene as it was like something out of a movie. 🤣 On the restart no big crash by the AI but I did spin out right the starting line at the end of lap 1 and ended up in 6th place. I pitted on lap 3 as the rain started and my tires were red. I used the wets and at first it looked like I might have to pit on the next lap but the down pour started. The race lasted 6 laps. The Daytona is a fun car to drive however I do wish it had one more gear. Got 30k cr from a 4 ⭐🎫
 
Today I spent a couple of hours using my new rig/wheel setup. Exclusively using that vs the controller today (although might flick back tomorrow for the world series).

Won 4 of the 5 daily races, can't get the hang of the classic road cars at Grand Valley using the wheel (braking under turning).

Just inside gold for now at Dragon Trail Reverse with a 1.51.132

But I've managed to get my Road Atlanta World Series practice time down on the wheel now to 1.17.9 (Controller best is 1.17.3)

This is infinitely more fun than a controller, even though I am massively worse because of the learning curve, probably B or C level vs A+ so I'll be avoiding daily races for a while until I get used to it a bit more!
