Yep. It has an “overtake” feature. Super fun car.

I thought it looked like it. Usually on the GR1's they auto deploy up to 120ish mph out of a corner so I figured you were doing it manually. I can't afford this car yet.

Will lap Nords for credit.

I forgot about the Olympics event. I sold a bunch of duplicates, I still have more to go through.

Picked up that Valkyrie. It is a wild car. The acceleration in 4th, and sometimes 3rd, is odd. I had to check a couple times to make sure TC wasn’t on because that is what it felt like. Took about 6 tries but I did a lap with it at Nords with RS tires. The power is tough to manage, I found it best to short shift and use overtake to gain back some acceleration.

The Laguna Seca daily race B has been fun. Although it seems like when I get bunched up with A rank drivers (I'm still B rank for driver's), it seems like there are more purposeful hits and pushes. Plus I'm out classed, so at best, I can only get P8. Earlier in the day though, I was put in an all B rank lobby for several races. Got podiums in all of them, minus one race where I went severely off course. lol. I think I went from 2nd down to last, and finished P12 on that race. Got the fastest lap time in it, so I guess there's that.

The 86 is too much of a handful. It's my 2nd fasted time, with the Supra being my fastest (after a few laps of practicing, it wasn't very good for me at first). The 86 understeers in the lower speed corners for some reason, and it's way too easy to break the rear loose on power.

Was waiting since I bought the game to get an invite to buy the Aston Vulcan to be randomly given one as a roulette reward yesterday. Unreal

I did too! It was only because of Super GT's video that I found out they added more.

Tried Sport for the first time and went for the challenges. Hly shit that Genesis drives like a truck. I was about 2 seconds short for Silver. Might give it a try again tonight. The Valkyrie one is really tricky, feels like the Hard tires are constantly fighting for traction.

The Genesis TT at Brands sucked. I haven't tried the Valkyrie one yet.

I have to redo the Valkyrie TT since my time has fallen from silver to bronze. I'm sure I can get back to silver, but no way I can get gold on this one.

I think my Genesis time is still gold.
