First time this has ever happened that I’ve noticed. But as there was a Silver version of the ‘81 911 Turbo in the UCD I decided to buy that so I can finally engines swap the toothpaste coloured one I have. I like to keep original cars in their country colours and then the engine swapped version are different (as they’re more flamboyant!)
Low and behold there was another 911 Turbo in there of the same colour!

Talking about the 911 (930) if you are into the low mileage cars, you can get a 0 mileage copy from the My First Gran Turismo in said silver shade.

So today i wanted to try my track experience (and nerves 😀) on mighty “green hell” and after getting Gold in first sector i was pretty much exhausted to do another one. It took too many tries and i was dissapointed because Nordschleife is one of the tracks i race, drive, cruise most in every racing game i ever played. Still i wanted just for fun to try 1 lap challenge to see how bad i’m doing overall just to find out i was only 1 second behind the Gold. So i did the second lap and ended up with Gold 😀 and it’s funny because after that first sector i thought i will have to spend like half a year on that track just to get that Gold but never imagined it would be over after 20-25 mins 😅

Productive GT7 day of mix of TT and weekly races.
- Took my newly Tuned Swift Sport with over 700bhp to the Tsukuba shakedown!
- Gave a race like livery which looks nice in blue!
- The Sport clocked over 222mph at SS RouteX and it was pretty rapid.
- Did some weekly races, and flew a Raptor!
- Collected my Z4 TT reward.

Did some Daily A for the daily login bonus. Lap 5, running in 9th, pack ahead of a little over a second ahead but there's a Brazilian around half a second behind me, so I hope they're going to be smart and want to work together to catch the pack ahead.
Nope.
Coming in to the first banked corner they decide to use slip stream to try to pass me on the outside... Putting themself in to the wall.
Real smart move, buddy. A1 quality move.

I came back to the game after some crazy months (family, job...). I returned to my usual 6am to 7am racing before daughters wake up. This past 2-3 weeks I...
... Start the PS4, update system. Start GT7, update game.
Receive some rewards, namely the Mercedes AMG from the AMG TT/contest and also some money because I bronzed it (I didn't even remember).
Then I picked up the game at Menu 32 I think. It was the last Porsche race at the Nordschleife. I got a bit mad because it's not easy to overtake 15 cars at max speed in that track so I decided to dial down the difficulty level from hard to normal (I play with all aids turned off) and try to push a little less and instead try to get CRB in all races. I think it was a good change of pace. I did OK on all subsequent menus sometimes missing CRB for stupid or unknown reasons but whatever. If I got a bit burnt out I would do some CE, license or missions which I try to gold too. This brings me to Menu 39, the last one. It was pretty miserable. I was locked from the rest of the game so I couldn't do some other things to clear my mind and even if all races went well I ended up at the Nordschleife (in 1st position) again after 5 days of beign locked out of the rest of the game and after 2 days racing it I decided to not push anymore, I did a slow clean race ending 10th (0 points) which made me lose the Champ but enough for the trophy and unlocking the Weekly Challenges (and the rest of the game!!!)...
... Then I was able to have fun again.
I purchased a Copen '02, put a silly Japanese McDonalds livery on it and had a blast on the Kei Cars Menu. Then I went straight to the last Menu because I wanted to have fun on a Jimny. Got the Sierra one and won all the races on the menu 100% stock. All of these were clean races.
After that I did some purchases for the Extra Menus: A lot of Toyotas: GT and GR86, Crown, Prius, Alphard... Some Nissans too. I asked the people in the game about them, read all the descriptions. I love this game is so nerdy and I hope they keep this trademark for future iterations.
Then finally I went to the Weekly challenge and I copy/paste from that thread:
Euro 400: I was not very interested in this one and with only 2 days left I decided to race a stock F430. It was total overkill. 1st place CRB.
Pickup Truck Race: I raced a stock Raptor to 2nd place CRB. I was really fun. I loaded a cool Dakar '25 livery that some japanese gentlemen did, tunned it a bit and raced again to 1st place CRB.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 N One-make: Did anyone race a 100% stock one on this? I did to dead last place. My lap times were about 1:02 and I think I was driving OK? It was rather hilarious. I then loaded a Time Attack livery that some other japanese gentlemen did and did some tunning (I think only race tyres?). Got an easy 1st place CRB with lap times of about 0:53.
Glad to be having fun again in the game!
And to all that people creating all those cool liveries I download and put on my cars without much effort - You are the true heroes of this story. I love you all.

Messed around with my 1973 911 Carrera RS
A little history. Back in 1973, normal people got to choose from one of three models of 911, the base "T", the faster "E" and the top of the line road car, the "S". For most people the "S" was impractical, since it had a very narrow torque band and was a pig in traffic. The sweet spot was the "E", being a good balance between the entry-level "T" and the intractable "S".
An aside. As I recall it, the "S" went so far as to have a plug of sodium in each exhaust valve to assist with heat transfer. It melted and moved up and down carrying heat from the hot end to the base of the valve stem. Insane stuff for the time. But I digress.
Well over 50% of 1973 911s sold were the "E" model.
The RS was insanely expensive and was the choice for serious racers only.
It really ticks me off that "the real driving simulator" places such an emphasis on the extreme models such as the RS (and in the Corvette world, the ZR-1). I had previous detuned the Corvette C6 ZR-1 to Grand Sport level.
Today, I detuned the 911 RS to approximate the 911E, and it's a joy to drive. In 1973 I dreamed of a 911E, and subscribed to Christophorus, the Porsche magazine. Today I finally drive it!

6 am today...
I purchased a KTM and a BAC race going road cars, got a bit lost reading the descriptions and listening to what the inhabitants of the game had to say about them but remebered to claim the 6-star roulette ticket which showed me 5 boring engines and awarded one that was not even 200k. However God is cruel but not unfair, as the saying goes - After trying my hand at the Gr.1 with the Toyota hybrid I gave up but got a 6-star ticket again (from the marathon), this one delivered a Pagani Zonda '09, not bad!
Finally decided to do the Suzuka CE, I quickly bronzed everything but still have to improve to be more competitive in something like the Gr.1 race.
Oh, and I bought a R8 Gordini that I had wishlisted. What a beauty.
Also something funny happened the day before, before having dinner.

Did a Daily B for lols which quickly reminded me that I haven't raced online competitively for over a year, as I was woefully behind pace. After that, decided to do a Sophy race on Tokyo just to complete the daily login. Figured I'd use the Super Formula to make it easy, but the game decided to make it a meme race and include 2 Tomahawks...
While I was able to do most of the track flatout, the Tomahawks left me for dead on the straights, and this was on intermediate! 😂

Today I set a lap time in the newest online time trial (kart shifter at Brands Hatch) and also went on a shopping spree.
I bought a second F40, 2 Shelbys GT 350, and a Plymouth Superbird from the LCD. From the UCD I picked up a red Ferrari Dino and a dark bronze (ish) Pantera.

Gave myself a delicious fright in my (engine-swapped) R8 Gordini on the Alsace Test track. The livery I used had a windshield banner and I had to duck my head to see where I was going when descending you-know-where.
Here’s a 60-second video of the view, both with and without the banner. You'll see the view change dramatically when I duck down in a panic.

Today I sold few more cars, as I'm trying to trim my garage down to only 2 copies of each car I'm interested.
I did 3 races out of 5 from the weekly challenge, and fully tuned a Fiat 500 '68 and took it to Nurburgring.
Now I want to revisit my tune for the faster 500, the Abarth 595. But that's left for another day.

I did two one hour Le Mans races in create race mode. Same old boost and 97% throttle from the AI. Then I tried a 30 minute race so the McLaren F1 in a GR3 field wouldn't pit and gift me the win instead I made a, forceful, pass in the final chicane. The F1 opened up a 48 second advantage over my Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 in the first Le Mans race. Then in the second half of the race it lost it all before pitting right in front of me.
as well.
Then I switched to Dragon Trail seaside and did 300KM race (58 laps). the rubber banding in all these races was a site to see.
After that I noticed that I hadn't done the Redbull X2019 race so I won that as well.

More like what I did for the last 3 days - but my 6am runs looked like...
Checked the new TT and weekly challenges. I quickly bronzed the TT but I don't think I will lose much more time trying to improve, too far from silver. I'm really close to silver in the Eiger one but I don't think I'll try either.
Then I purchased a ton of cars I needed for the extra menus. Read a lot of info about them while drinking some coffee.
Entered the FF race with the "stock" Civic from the Nordschleife TT and even in hard mode I got 1st CRB with about 20 seconds over the 2nd.
Then entered the Euro 500 at Eiger with a stock M3 and got 2nd CRB. Then changed to a '89 tunned M3 I had for 1st CRB. That exhaust sound it's something.
Then entered the Viper one-make with a stock Viper to dead last place. I was too lazy to tune it and even if race tyres would probably do it I decided to go for a free Gr.4 Viper at the Gone with the Wind missions.
I got a mix of metals in the missions with only the 30 min race and the drift missions left. I had to leave the drift one for the good of my own sanity and decided to do that long race.
I picked the GT-R from the movie event and went on hards fuel map 1. Then to pit about a lap latter than most for wets. Fuel map 1. When I realized I was 1st. Once the track dried I go to pit again, hards, refuel. Fuel map 1 then Fuel map 5 to not pit again... Then a lapped car under blue flag hits me and makes me spin, I drop to 3rd. I was mad. I paused the game, took a deep breath and back to the race. With only two or three laps left I was only able to overtake one competitor to finally place 2nd. No CRB of course.
I wasn't in the mood for more drifting so I quit for now. I don't know how I'll do to at least bronze that one and get the Viper :/

Came 2nd to Sophy twice. Once at Le Mans and then Dragon Trail Seaside. Then I did a one hour race at Le Mans against Pro A not I (why can't I use Sophy in create race mode?) I took the lead from a McLaren F1 in the Porsche curves. That was at the end of lap 14. The A not I can't carry speed through there. The McLaren pitted for fuel same lap. Looking at a replay of one of the Sophy races confirmed that it doesn't suffer from 97% throttle just boost.

I tried to do the Autopolis race in the WC but I wasn't feeling it. So I tried to do Sardegna with the AMG Gr.3 2016. I found it too slow at FM6 but I didn't feel like messing around to find the perfect spot for it. SO I put a livery on it and grabbed the Stealth Mazda Vison Gr.3 and ran a few time trial laps at LeMans. Got a GR.4 Subbie from a 4 ⭐ 🎟️
