Really should fix that, tho...😁
 
Got some work done today...started with the GT500 TT at Spa. Ran several laps in the Supra and realized I have no clue how to drive that car. Turning/Braking I'm good, it's keeping the thing 'on boil' that I struggle with. I have two modes with the damn thing, bogged or bouncin' off the limiter. Tried the NSX 'cuz all the cool kids were. 65 miles and a bunch of smiles later I was into gold territory, for now (2:20.2xx).

Then I ran some laps at Suzuka to see if I was up to a Daily B. Thought I was. I was not.🤣

First couple laps were on-point. Stickin' with the crew I started with and breaking away from the rest of the pack (P1 - me in P6). Was able to pick off a couple spots when people in front bobbled a bit and landed P4. Then I decided to try some disco moves through the fields on L3. Back to tenth for the final two laps. Groovy. Gathered up two before the finish line for P8 at least.

Lesson learned, went to offline stuff. Ran the first of the weekly races to receive my NEVER disappointing 6* parts ticket. Cashed that and my other SUPER exciting 6* parts ticket from the daily marathon. Thankfully, was able to collect the camshafts and a driveshaft I needed. With those I can now complete my build of the worlds first camthatched roof. Needed one more vertical support and some fill around the chimney at the Cafe.😁

:cheers:
 
Today I was trying to enter a GT League and I went the whole weekend to tryout for it and getting the cars I needed to join. It was so hard! I can drive the car but I didn't make it. But I did join a club. So I'll be racing with them then!
 
-Did some qualifying for Daily Race A, featuring the Mazda Roadster (ND) NR-A @ Road Atlanta. I actually got a time that's in the top 1k, which I think is amazing since this car is running Comfort Softs and not any of the sports tires. I tried the race itself twice, and both times, I got a clean Q3/P2.

-I also slightly improved my time by a few tenths for the online time trial featuring classic JGTC GT500 cars at Spa-Francorchamps, but now I really don't see how I can shave off over half a second to reasonably get into gold range.

-Finally, I decided to fiddle around with the AFEELA to see what sort of options there were for it. Decided to really just get the other two sports tire compounds, ballast, power limiter, and then just leave it. Even took it to GT Auto and all you're really able to do of note is install aftermarket wheels and change the license plate, but I understand that it's a prototype of an EV so I get how customization options would be limited.

Ultimately, I got a three-star ticket that netted me 10k credits, but I really don't mind. Much more interested in the two clean top-five finishes I got today.

Hanging out on the Nordschleife facing dozens of young and motivated contenders, challenging as well as enjoying an ambitious yet mindful run around the World's Best Track 😅
Made some new Friendships with some Similar minded people in that process.
Nothing beats GT7 with quality and Mindful drivers.

Yesterday... Did two of Daily Race C's with no quali time. Finished from 14th to 6th and 16th to 7th. DR got bumped to C!!! Then thought I'd try Race B. Lobby was full of B rated, with just two of us C's, and again no quali so started from 16th. Got up to 9th with just one track limit 0.5 sec pen, also had no collisions. I thought my DR would go up, but no. It went down!!! Thankfully not back to D. But why go down after finishing 6 places up?
 
Today, did three American Clubman Cup races, one at Trial Mountain, one at Watkins Glen and the third race at Daytona Road Course. I took 20 scape photos, did three drift sessions at Daytona, Suzuka and Laguna Seca and did a TT session at High Speed Ring in the Camaro. And that's all for now.
 
Today I :

  • messed around with a Civic eg '93 and drove it around Nurburgring. Who doesn't like a VTEC engine?
  • sold some very expensives duplicate cars after realizing I'd never tune/need them for anything. One copy of those cars is more than enough.
  • the despicable wheel of the day gave me a 458 Gr.3.
 
After several attempts yesterday with various tuned cars I finally won Clubman Cup+ on Fuji. The winning car is Ruf CTR3. Great car! While at it I also won at Monza in the same Cup.
 
Ran the La Sarthe PP700 grind on my quest to earn 20mill credits, just so I can buy the McLaren when it next hits Hagerty and get that damn Extra Menu book done with. I keep getting hamstrung by other tasks though as I also had the Ferrari Speciale menu book to do, so had to buy the F40 and F50 from Hagerty last week, and then popped a Ferrari invite from a ticket last night. Now I've done the Ferrari Extra Menu, but I'm back down to below 5mill credits.

So at some point today I'll be doing the daily La Sarthe grind again.

I'm sure at some point PD said they don't want people grinding the same races because that isn't fun...
