Seems to have disappeared again. Well it has for me anyway!
 
I don’t like how the wind direction is always changing in every part of the game. I think it’s pretty cheesy how you can just exit the event and go back in to get something more beneficial for yourself.

Finally won that annoying Porsche cup. Did the weight ballast and rain tyres tricks that were suggested. Thanks guys!

Now I'm almost done with the Supra collection, only got Suzuka to go, and I am using the Radical this time in the events. Saint de Croix has never been fun for me but in the Radical the track was a blast to drive.
 
I,ll give you all a laugh.I spent 1,000,000 credits on a car,Audi R18,to do the le man's 24 minutes mission,plus credits for wet tyres.I came 10th and won 2,000credits.🤣
Had a lot of fun doing it though.
I got hit with purple rain on the weather radar in that race. I to used the R18 and the rain hit before I could make the pits I aqua planed for a good 300m on the straight. Steering completely went was on full lock but still kept going straight 😂 pushed for 3 laps instead of 2 before hitting the pits. Still made 1st but damn that race was fun.
 
Question on legendary cars: from what I’ve read I think the answer is yes.

Is the stock in legendary cars always the same for everyone globally? I won’t be able to play everyday and am keen not to miss a few cars.
 
Weird graphics glitch on Fisherman's Ranch this evening. Only on jumps, (which seem to defy Einstein's version of physics btw, but that's for another post) there is a distinct snap visually as the car hits the ground again. Like it's so overstretched by the flying car that it slows down a bit and then has to skip a few frames to catch up.
 
I'm really enjoying the game for what it is. As an OG player, the 2 cars I want the most are the Pennzoil Skyline and the Castrol Supra(pre order bonus)

Anyone who is dead serious on console "racing" games should be playing ACC. It's like night and day. GT will probably never have anything even close to that, and that's ok. I play GT because the simcade physics are enjoyable, and it's a fun game. ACC is much more a thinking man's game. Nothing wrong with either game, but I think some folks are confused about what GT offers. This is a celebration of cars and of driving, it's not a simulation of anything.
I cannot relate to that. GT7 is joyless in the areas where GT once shined, but adequate enough for picking a car and track. So I actually think the problem with GT7 is how it offers a “dry” experience like Assetto Corsa despite trying hard not to.

I attempted this tonight with the red bull car you get for Golding all license tests. Piece of piss I thought to myself. How wrong was I. Did 3 laps on hard tyres, but 2.5 laps in it started raining. Had no traction for half a lap, got some wet tyres on eventually and managed to finish second. I succumbed to the pressure and bought the tomahawk vgt thing. Finished it by lapping everyone.
 
I think having a decent portion of the cars locked through the used and legendary dealerships is a way of extending the game's life. You will always have something new to buy and look forward to which in some ways is a good thing. However if you do have the money to afford something you should be able to buy it right away instead of waiting.
 
My daily mileage reward was a 4 star ticket that got me a............Mercedes A45 AMG. Meh.

I am having the worst luck with these stupid tickets.

That's the worst luck? I've had a total of 4 tickets that weren't the worst possible reward, and that's with every possible daily ticket up to this point except for today, along with all of the cafe tickets. And those rewards were an invite, two tuning parts, and a car from the last cafe ticket. Arguably the invite and tuning parts are even worse than the lowest cash prize!
 
I don't know if someone already saw or posted this:
We can use the High Compression Pistons (HCP) with a forced induction and get extra power, but it only works on cars, which were Naturaly Aspirated on stock config.
Of course, we need to be able to buy it in the first place

Just buy HCP and then you can buy the turbos (I don't know if it works with superchargers). Both are installed at the same time. But be aware, if you remove the Turbo in the settings menu and try to reinstall it there, it wont let you install both at the same time. As soon you reinstall the turbo, it will uninstall the HCP and if you uninstall the turbo it will reinstall the HCP.

To keep this, I suggest saving the Turbo + HCP setting.
If you have already overwritten the standard config, maybe buying a new engine will allow you to redo this.

I tried and can confirm this at least for the Honda S2000 and Nissan S13 Qs

Why wasn’t I told I would need IM tires for the WGT championship…. Instead I find out mid championship that I need to pit for the IMs at Sarthe and basically can’t finish the race since hards won’t get any traction. So ok. Lame. I have to EXIT the championship to buy IMs?! Lol what.

I had a 1 star ticket last night worth 2k credits. :lol:

Side note: Those damn Alfa 155's are too fast to be placed in the Gr4 class.

Ironically, it never rained for me at all so...
I was left confused when the characters talking to me at the end kept mentioning horrible weather. What weather?
