Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

Personally I have no problems with 5k being the lowest reward in roullete. 2k coins go to hell though, it serves no purposes whatsoever. 2 things you could probably buy with it is Ballast and Power Restrictor lol

At least you can make your cars ready for Open Lobby races! 😝

The McLaren F1 GTR finally showed up.

Does not drive as nicely as it did in GTS.

In fact I just did the 1 hour Spa race with it and it was a pain in the butt.

Still one of the cars I look forward to driving in VR the most.

 

[Bojador]

Okay, question about the F1. Is it a choice for Manufacturers Championship?

It should. Just like other cars of other manufacturers.

Last night I tried (for fun, not a serious attempt) to do the Spa endurance race with the Porsche Taycan. First thing that I noticed was that you can't see how many laps you can do on a charge and there is no way to choose between less power and more range. I managed to do almost 4 laps before I had to go in the pit. I was quite curious to see what was going to happen but it was very disappointing. Nothing happened... The car stops, the pit crew looks at your car, probably thinking: 'what an idiot' and after one second the car leaves with a full battery. I know that using an EV in an endurance race is very unrealistic but they should have made this clear by plugging in a charge cable and let you wait for 15 minutes.

EV's shouldn't be allowed to compete against combustion engined cars. At least when there's pit stops involved.

Yesterday, first time I'm trying the 550pp Clubman Cup Plus on Tsukuba, minutes after I get gold on the Circuit Experience. I tried maybe 6 different cars I had already on this, I'm just nowhere ! The Beetle, the 911 GT3, the RX7 are just so much more powerful in the straight!

Then I tune up a bit the stock Alpine I had, same I'm slowly closing up in the turns just to lose everything on the straight. Then I buy the Radical SR3, same again! I tried several setups, tires and downforce, race brakes; It just doesn't work, when these 2 cars should blast anything in a track like Tsukuba, a car that I know fairly well, with all the missions and experiences done there... Not to mention that the fuel consumption and tires wear is weirdly not working despite the parameters of the race.

This is madly difficult isn't it? Should I just mimic the AI and get the same cars they use , but where is the fun in that... Really feel like they are using 600/650pp setups, aren't they?

I used my tuned R32 to win. The RX-7 beats it on the straights, but the AWD at corner exits, helped me to get ahead and pull away start of Lap3.

Yaris is a monster on that race

 

[Coiler]

I see there was an undercover update of the game. Clean race bonus is not guaranteed and the tomahawk glitch has been fixed.

 

[mynameis66]

Still works.At just under 600pp.Where are you to?

Undercover update of the game? That's not very likely, unless they sent ninjas to my house to update the game on my PS5.

Didnt show any update.

Where do you see that? Just got the clean race bonus for a race that was anything but clean.

 

[Coiler]

First race today at Lemans 700 touched a car once and no bonus afterwards. Tomahawk just shows "!" as pp raing.
Did wc lemans once more this time very carefully and got the bonus.

Check your oil. The power loss from worn oil is enough to put the PP out of spec.

No it has not.

You probably ignored yellow flags - IMO the only thing that will take the bonus away.

I´m afraid you´re spreading misinformation.

 

[Coiler]

Thats how tomahawk looks for me right now. Didn't use it for a month now.

As for yellow flags you might be right and that would be a good thing.

 

[permaculture]

Didn't use it for a month now.

1.13 update slightly shifted the PP of every car

 

[mynameis66]

If youve not used it for a month you need to tweak the settings since the latest update.
On le mans i get crb unless i exceed track limits.

 

[05XR8]

I get CRB at Le Mans for exceeding track limits. Plenty of times. Skidding off in the wet. AI ramming me off and me avoiding or hitting AI as they are braking way before the braking zones. Don’t recall I’ve never not gotten CRB at that event.
I think CRB was hit or miss, for me, at the rally events.

 

[mwoodski]

This may seem silly but I really wish the run to the big banked hairpin at Maggiore was a bit less harsh on the transition to the downhill section.

Doing wheelies there is impressively annoying.

I won too many races with that one, especially the grp B stuff she's resting lol

Yes, 4WD will my next try, maybe a Lancer or Impreza... In real I'm sure an Alpine would destroy any of these old Japanese in Tsukuba...

 

[BEBOP_Bill]

Yes, they have been there since the beginning. Really confused on why they didn't do the same for Seaside if having to rush the game out isn't the reason.

I was thinking the same thing. Seaside would actually be very nice to have with rain.

Check your oil. The power loss from worn oil is enough to put the PP out of spec.

Oil degradation will not make your PP go from "glitched" to out of spec or to "realistic".

I ran it in the Le Mans 30 minutes of penalties and rain. It was great. Except the fuel mileage isn't as good as the long tail. I found it handling well stock. It has a @praiano63 tune on it now and is better. What do you think is wrong with it?

 

[Gradly]

So do we expect an update tomorrow? It’s been a while

 

[Bojador]

Update tomorrow or we riot 😂

 

[bnr034]

Unlikely, since its Golden week (public holiday) in Japan

A combination of oversteer and understeer and just generally being very nervous under breaking. Basically what you would expect from an older car.

It felt a lot more planted in GTS.

Will try the tune!
