Welcome to Update 12.3! Aside from the 1-2-3 sequence in the version number, there’s a few things to look forward to in this update, including the Rimac for some of you, the KTM for others, or something else. It’s the spring update for the Northern Hemisphere folks, so looking forward to warmer weather and longer days! For this week’s lineup, it should be good fun for the first two cars and maybe for the third one as well, with the 2017 Ford GT, Lamborghini Essenza SCV12, and Koenigsegg Agera RS at Suzuka GP for the third time this year.
Performance wise, the Agera RS will be best. Great news for those who just won it at the end of last update, though there’s probably some of you frustrated with the sale timing. Suzuka won’t be best suited to the speed-driven Agera RS, but it’ll still be considerably faster than the next best car. Despite what the stats say, the 2017 Ford GT will actually be second best, better than the Essenza which has a 13.8 PR advantage. The GT has OP grip, so it is able to make up a lot of the .36g statistical grip deficit, but also has 50kph more speed than the Essenza. The 100kph speed deficit will show, but it looks like a C is quite doable. Same with the Essenza, as it’s about half a second or so slower than the GT. The lineup is definitely statistically imbalance, but it is good to see that all three cars should have a chance at something higher than D, which isn’t common nowadays.

This week’s sale is 40% off the Koenigsegg Agera RS! Its last sale was a 30% in July 2021. It is also very convenient for many of you, as you may still have the event open from last update and can take advantage of a rare event-upgrades discount!
Purchase price: 600 gold
R$ Upgrades (1111111): R$462,300
Series Upgrades (5353333): R$2,204,160 and 561 gold
Fully Upgraded (5454334): R$2,204,100 and 903 gold
All 3’s -> Fully Upgraded (3333333 -> 5454334): 573 gold
This car has 4 series, The Winner Takes It All, Angelholm’s Advance, Full Throttle Free-For-All, and its Exclusive Series. They pay 79, 81, 79, and 225 gold respectively, adding up to 464 gold total. This assumes base completion and all other cars are owned/sufficiently upgraded.
Well well well. I historically have really disliked this car, but with cars like the Jesko’s and such of late, I’ve grown on it recently. It rarely performed well back in the day, but this seems to be the revenge arc of the Agera RS! This would be a great opportunity to get the car from the event if you haven’t already (assuming you started before 12.2 ended) and/or to upgrade it with a great paying ES.
It’s a very unusual case of a car having both a WTT and a TTC in the same update as well! Last time that happened was with the Volkswagen XL Sport in v10.6. Some of you may find a net profit!

This week started on April 8th and will end on April 15th. This is the first week of the 12.3 update.
Much of North America had a partial or total solar eclipse today! If you got to see it, I hope you had a great viewing experience! The next eclipse cycle will be in September/October.
The OMP sale for this week is 40% off the Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4. Its last sale was a 50% off three months ago for New Year’s. I like it but it can be seen as a B-spec Sian to some, and doesn’t have huge importance.
All the best for this week everyone!
