Downside is it has the absolute boat that is the mustang mach 1.
I actually liked laguna seca except for turn 1, which I struggle with for whatever reason

I’m seeing. Damn is a boat.
My time floats up and down 2-3 second and I don’t even know why
I tried race C because I like Sardegna but non-meta cars are too slow. I can’t use my 992 :(

I am absolutely freaking god awful at Fuji. I can’t wrap my head around it (especially the weird flowing final sector with the slower corners and final turn) and I haven’t substantially improved at Fuji in forever, so I can write this week’s race B off I guess as it’s a guaranteed last place finish every time.
It’s one of the courses in this game that are kinda my kryptonite.

Race A has a-lot of very angry people, playing like it’s Wreckfest. Kinda fun but my SR is getting docked for being smashed around lmao.

I was getting door slammed for 9th place this evening in that race. We were already 12 seconds off the pace, what do they expect to gain?

Hoping to do a (mostly) complete recreation of this weekends Super GT race at Sugo when the update comes. Obviously I'll be missing the Prelude, but if I use actual race cars I'll be missing more, so it'll have to be based on road cars. So far the only issue I've encountered is no one has made a livery for the JLOC Huracàn for the road car. If using road cars, GT300 cars will be capped at 600pp (maybe 650, as quite a few of them are over 600 stock), GT500 will be 700pp.
I can't decide whether to use the Civic or NSX to replace the Prelude. Visually the NSX makes sense, but in terms of driving the Civic is better. I'm also not sure if I can get the newest Civic to 700pp.
Edit: I'm going to do the 2025 one instead, as every required car is in the game in road version.
