Known Issues [UPDATED: 29 March]

Those issues are planned to be solved with a future update.

Good to know the inability to change track isn't an "issue"... 😂

Or the fact lobbies are locked to one host, very frustrating when you're about to get a fast lap and the host decides to switch his PS off.

So many old basic features to online that they've left out on release, for no apparent reason.

So true what is wrong with this series they only seem to carry over the annoying things and leave out the rest instead of building on the series i totally forgot we used to have a track maker and bob to make you cash things like that should have been improved each game but nope throw it away and start again...
 
Any tip(s) for Golding the "endurance" mission on high speed ring ? I still finish 2nd 🤔.
I used a Castrol Tom's Supra from pre-order bonus because nothing else I already had had as good grip even in the dry, nevermind the wet, and I didn't want to buy a new car (first attempt in the R8 Evo was a disaster). Monitor weather radar and fuel. Medium RPM turbo and full wet tyres are the only extras I needed for it, everything else left stock. Start on RH tyres, and about a lap after the rain starts (it started roughly around lap 3-4 on my attempts), just when grip is starting to drop, pit for full wet tyres and fuel - I also own Intermediates and these were basically useless for the amount of rain I got on this mission my first attempt in the Supra, so it has to be full wet tyres I think. Manage everything right and you'll only need to pit once again for fuel and a return to RH tyres when the track is nearly dried. Take the banking carefully in the wet, be as smooth as possible when passing others. I managed to win by a very long way even with spinning twice in the rain where grip is worst (once between the tunnel and last corner, once between 1st and 2nd corner while trying to pass someone else). The Supra doesn't suffer as badly from random loss of rear wheel grip and sudden oversteer the way I found other Gr3 cars I own do, which means when the mission gets wet you can generally move a lot faster than the AI. You'll win by better grip in the wet (a lot of the AI cars spin out, especially just before the last corner and between the first and second) and pitting less than opponents. My brother used the same strategy and finally did it, it was the only mission he hadn't golded - I'm well behind because I can't drift to save my life.

I wish invitations aren't part of roulettes.

Just got 1 from a 4 star ticket...
For Ferrari...
While I still have one from Ferrari also and already bought a car from them.

sad LaFerrari noises
 
I've been trying to log on and at least do enough mileage to get my roulette ticket every day hoping for an engine swap, but if this 1 star and 2k credit thing doesn't change, I may not even bother...
I wonder if it's based on the length of time it takes to accomplish your marathon, to reflect our ticket? It took me awhile today and I got a 4 star, most other days I just do one championship and log off and I've been getting 1/2 stars.

It would be incredibly simple to make a good, successful online mode. Take GT5's online mode and put it in GT7. Add a daily shuffle race (DAILY! - not this weekly daily race nonsense) to Sport mode. Perfection.

Those should be permanent and be aquired when you own enough Ferrari cars for example. I don't know why PD made such stupid move with those invitation.

Or get rid of them entirely

You can follow the used dealer and legendary dealer offers on this link.

But darn, 300 SL Coupe. I am just hoping for that JGTC Castrol Supra or the Alfa Romeo 155 DTM car.
I think you'll be waiting a while! These were available in the first week so don’t think they’ll be back for a good couple months. This does however depend on the future update that Kaz described where the Legendary dealership will have more cars more frequently available!

Really? Ah darn, I bought the game almost a week after it came out, didn't even know they were on sale. I am glad about the Legendary dealer update, will make the wait a bit more tolerable.
 
I certainly don't regret buying the 288 GTO ! It's a delightful drive. I used it to around a few races against the likes of AMG-GT , 911 GT3 , it's fast already. I'll keep it stock (tires aside) and red!

I'll try getting the Miura too.

Spent 45 minutes on that mission with the GTR Nismo GT500 in Fuji where you need to catch 5 cars, that was challenging but I got the gold! Surely they can do a very fast AI when they want...

I'm leaving the wheels, but it's not red anymore! Halfway through a Martini makeover, but I got distracted by another BTCC livery at the moment so it got put on hold.

Was there ever a race livery on a 288gto ? I can think of a few iconic liveries on the 308 gr4 but 288 (sadly) was only a road car

Ok I did it ! Thanks,I was also using my R8 Evo when finished 2nd, didn't thought of the Supra, it was much easier.
Now i'm left with the 2 "endurances" races in "the sun also rises" and I will have golded every mission

Thanks again. 😊

Edit : and all is done 😎 golded all mission ans licence, now let's go for track experience .

Which was such a shame, because it was built as a race car. At least the BMW M1 got to race, but I think you're right about the 288GTO, I don't think it ever did.
 
For the most part Gran Turismo 7 is a very beautiful game, but in some areas it looks downright unacceptable. Take Laguna Seca for instance, environmental textures and pedestrian vehicles look PS2-tier (Wouldn't it make sense to use some of the car models already available in the game for the npc vehicles???) Maybe PD can get their hands on the Decima engine or something for GT8.
 
Quick question regarding a bug for those who already own the game ( i don't ).

Please forgive me if this never actually WAS a bug in the first place, but;

Is it possible to set your breaking/race line markers as ONLY cones yet ?
I really, really hate the look of that ugly yellow floating marker around the track.

I recall some users saying that you can actually choose your marker style, as cones, in the in-game options,
but they don't actually ever show up on the track and it reverts to the ugly yellow floaters instead ?

Is this still a thing ?

Thank You kindly if you are able to test this <3
