Unbelievably, I've had 2 engine swaps from the roulette prizes on the new menu thing. The V8 from the Z4 GT3 goes into an E46 M3 and also the SR20DET that goes into the PS13 Silvia

Spent an hour or so lapping Watkins Glen, fun track. That chicane is really fast

Drove a bit of the Escudo too, you really need to make sure you are pointing straight before you brake

Been hearing more and more talk that quite a few of the online lobby issues maybe coming from the cross-play aspect between PS4 and PS5. (Sport mode doesn't cross-play IIRC)

A few issues addressed in todays update, mainly being able to change lobby settings after it's been made. But I have tried to do a few online sessions now, with people from close european countries, France, Germany, Spain etc. It's been impossible every single time to race, even with full green bar connection they are constantly shifting around left and right, forwards and backwards, impossible to race close.
The lobbies were fine for the first 2 months so it’s definitely something on PD’s end

Probably the best track in North America.

So, I have won two engines this week:

SR20DET (Silvia S15)
VR38DETT (Nismo GTR)

The SR20DET has been transplanted into the S13 Silvia K's. Not bad at all and realistic. Flat torque curve on standard turbo gives it pull throughout the rev range. Great for lower PP races.

The VR38DETT has been shoe horned into the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione. I decided to go all out, full race spec, the works. It is an animal, even with the torque split at 50/50 front/rear it is just mental. Produces 946bhp and weighs only 1,118kg.

The brakes are useless even fully upgraded, but it is a good laugh.

I didn't know you could put the GTR lump into a Delta Integrale that's mint!

I did the Z4 GT3 V8 transplant into my M3 last night, it turns it into a really nice car to drift at 520bhp or so NA. It's now 780bhp with the high RPM turbo but haven't driven it yet.

The lobbies have been glitched from the start you can tell how's playing on PS4 over ps5 players by the way the cars move. In the daily races they have split PS4 and ps5 players apart so there is an issue there also dropped car numbers from 20 too 16.
The disconnects and lobby freezes were really bad the first month or so every other race was doing it at one point for me.

The daily races are slightly better after the update but not perfect so even separating consoles hasn't fixed it completely. I tried 2 random lobbies just to see if anything had improved last night and in both cars were jerking all over the place. Whatever is causing the issues has only been marginally improved with the console separation sadly.

Since the game was launched I’ve done the ‘daily workout’ pretty much every day. I think I may have missed 4 or 5.
I still have not won an engine. Instead I win invitations to buy cars that I already have in my garage.
I hate this roulette wheel system.

Much different than modern F1/FIA grade tracks which feel very stop-start in comparison. The turn out of the boot section back onto the main track catching me out a little bit. And the first corner is much slower than I expected.

Road America, VIR, Road Atlanta, Sebring etc next please PD.

I just got the Delta engine swap from the new menu, I only had to buy the newer RX7 to complete it.
946bhp in the Delta is so much fun!
The only other swap I want now is the M3, I was lucky enough to win the 787b one ages ago.

I got the LT5 Corvette engine, which only goes in the 69 Corvette convertible. All modded up it is ~1,066bhp, and the car weighs ~1,088kg or so. It is a touch spicy.

Discovered that even the B/A rating daily races aren't immune from bell ends then tonight. Leading the Gr.4 race with half a lap to go and some bell end I'd been battling with decided to just take me out on the hairpin sending both of us into the barrier at about a million mph. No reason for it at all other than to just stop me winning the race because he wasn't going to.
