CREDIT GRIND - WTC 600 Tokyo Express - Glitches are Dead.

[Silver_Wolf]

That's already a lot ! Curious to know the average time spent daily by players on this game.

I suppose it is but usally I get home from college about 5pm UK time so then if you factor in food and doing real life stuff I usually get started about 7pm and play till about 10pm by which time my body is saying it's time for bed.

Weekends course I get a bit longer due to being at home but I always try to balance my day so I'm not completely 'always' on the game!

I did too much of that with GT Sport and ended up not doing other stuff I should being doing in my life so I decided to go on a 'play less' policy with GT7.

I'm cool Lomic.
But people just keep trying to exploit a simulator driven game to increase their credits to get through it quicker.

It's not a game that you type 3 initials at the end when you get the highest score.

No wonder so many are struggling online in the Daily Races with real cars, they are wasting their time on this credit grab.

Hey , you know what ? I just banked another 825k.

Are you all here to race real cars against each other, or just here to cheat and gain an advantage with a car that obviously has slot car characteristics.

Did you even beat this challenge at the beginning of your campaign with a real, competitive car?

Go play Wipeout if your into this sort of Fan Game.

Who gives a hoot. It's a singleplayer event. If people want to exploit it, that's their perogative that has no bearing on your playthrough.

How does this effect you personally and why do you care

I don't know if 16 minutes is unrealistic, of course is a very short time. I did the events 4 or 5 times and my best time is 18:49,444 with best lap 1:21,889. I lose time when I lap the cars in front of me and it happens 3 times. Are you using intermediate tyres? You have full control and don't hit the walls, you just need 1 or 2 pit stop, but is only few seconds.

I've been able to get it down to 16 minutes just by racing super clean. I throw on inters for both stints with no refueling. Hitting DRS anytime theres a straight and taking corners flat out is the main time saver. Whenever I do see traffic, i try to slow down to make sure the passing happens on the straights.

I don't go more than 20-30 minutes most days. Work a mission or a license test until I'm about to throw the controller at the TV, then I quit!

I don't even call it an exploit. I call it a work-around for the shoddy economic system PD gave us. And when it comes down to it, its not even that great of a workaround, because its not like instant credits or free cars or anything like that, it still takes 18'ish minutes for the average driver like me, (best time of 17:05), for a race that otherwise would take a little under 28 minutes. And still takes seven hours of mind-numbing grinding to buy some of these cars, which mostly do not have a single race for them.

It might be worth 5 hours for the top few cars IF there were appropriate events for them, but no... PD cant be bothered to put the cars they already have, onto the tracks they already have, and slap a name and prize onto them.

Exploit? No way. It is simple compensation for the lack of consideration for the player on the part of PD & Sony.

Did you? Seems like you haven’t even played this game at all the way you are talking about this and trying to correlate it to things that are completely unrelated.

^ that is exactly why ive been hoarding money lately… I am at 10 million right now and will only be using on used cars and legend cars that are under 3 million…I am passing on the real expensive legend cars until I buy every other car in game…at this point I am just buying cars to collect and cant actually use it in any races which is my biggest gripe… the only workaround is if I do arcade mode… but even then it’s not worth it to grind for countless hours on a car I can only use in arcade mode… it just doesn’t seem worth it at that point… so I’ll buy the expensive legend cars last… as far as the exploit you still have to put the time in just to get some decent coin… I’ve been only playing an hour a day because of work and I just want to do other things and also so I don’t get tired of the game which is working… so I get $2,475,000 per day which sounds like a lot but is peanuts for how much everything costs specifically legend cars and some brand central cars…the tuning is not cheap either…

I love doing this, like a lot. I forgot how may credits I make a day doing this but it's definitely a lot. Today I'm using it to buy a lot of duplicates of the Porsche 962 C '88 so I can do custom races with them in different liveries.

 

[opelgt1969]

I'm getting older by the day. The reason I grind Tokyo is because I have rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and grinding is helping with strength, hand/foot/eyes working together, and to try to forget the pain for a little while. So if your mom/dad are slow on reflexes you might want to strap them into GT7. I'm using a G29 wheel not sure if controller has similar effects.

Yes,loving the speed!
Down to 14:47.5, clean , no DRS, spent about 50 mill in the last 2-3 days buying up cars under 1 mill in BC, around 75, cracked the 300 cars mark today and still sitting at 80 mill, "make hay while the sun shines".🤪

lol seriously?

This is the only way to get a hand on those $20 million cars.

 

[BloodRaven]

I've been doing this race at least once a day since the update.

What's weird, is I just got the trophy Going the Distance Together: The Atlantic. The description fro this trophy says:

Driving with other players online, you matched the distance covered by the first ever non-stop Transatlantic flight: 5810 km (3610 miles).

The strange thing is I've never done any online races in GT7. It's all been strictly single player. But I guess maybe because it's an "always online" game, it counts.....maybe? I don't know. Whatever, I got the trophy for it. I don't know how, but I got it.

I don’t love doing it but I also do it to buy duplicates, I have 20 Mazda touring cars tuned and in different liveries and 10 high performance yaris’ also tuned to about the same as the Mazda’s and I do a custom race with all of them. It’s pretty fun

Ditto (just different Porsches)

Just tried the 600pp tomahawk for the first time.

For some reason my tomahawk can't seem to make the first turn at any speed fast or slow (just doesnt turn). And then after I try to accelerate after hitting the wall it just spins out like crazy. Running on racing hands, keeping it in 5th gear.

Try my setup, "only" 1650hp but tuned to handle (in my GT7 garage)

Use racing intermediate tires then you don't get any sliding.

You will learn it soon enough. Every first timer bangs the wall at the first right turn 🤣

Try starting with Sport Soft, same handling/PP as Racing Intermediate but holds longer (it should last for entire race, you don't need to pit at all). Starting with Racing Intermediate is only useful when regulation don't permit sports tires or you can & want to pit for Racing Hard.

Try slow to 100 km/h (or 60 mph) on lap 1 and lap 2 on the straight before the turn without turning during braking, RELEASE BRAKE, then turn. Enable brake zone for visual hint to practice if needed. After lap 3 you can go through T1/T2 by about 250 km/h (155 mph).

 

[The OG]

the first right turn on the first lap is especially tough because the roads are really wet... you literally have to just brake hard and stop all together... then after that turn you are good until the last turn... thats another tough one...what I realized with the tomahawk after a slow turn when your at a slow speed you cant just push on the gas hard... you have to ease into it or else youll spin out... happen to me a few times... mostly on the last turn and once or twice on the first turn

I use RH tyres on a controller and I find that on the first lap I almost have to slow to about 50mph to make the first turn. For the first lap I just stick the car in 7th gear as well, it keeps the wheelspin manageable coming out of the two slow corners. Once the dry line appears at the start of the second lap whack it into 5th gear and you’re golden!

Do sports soft offer the same level of grip in the wet as intermediates?Never thought to try them,just stayed with the inters.

Do you have TC on 5, ASM-on and CA - strong?, on IM's i run the first lap 1:17- 1:18ish.

 

[R3V]

ASM-on and CA - strong?, on IM's i run the first lap 1:17- 1:18ish.

Don't those create even more understeer?

 

[kowalski__1]

No, only way to keep the car stable and easily turnable at high speed, i hit that 1st corner at 520kph, down shift 3 times ,turn and shift into 5th to take 2nd corner.

You don't turn with DRS do you? I've never had oversteer in high speed with the tomahawk.

didn't have ASM on - will try with that.

Also didn't realize the track was wet, maybe that's it. It's handling like the porsche in S10 on the water, feels like I'm driving on ice
