Jeeeeeeesus... Somehow these values still hurt even if I knew it was going to be peanuts of a car's initial price.

Oooookay, so which part of this needed 9 months in the oven?

It actually pays nice amount of money, You just showed less valuable cars here. You really wanted more credits for base brand central starter cars?
 
You also get the 500k (2nd prize) and 300k (3rd price).
Nopes, it's not like the Circuit Experience, it works the same as the Time Trial in Sport Mode. You get the amount associated with your position. Won both races already and got 1mil each.
 
judging by the Kart figures, I'm guessing a lot of people had a buying spree on that one for the trophy.
Given that nobody could sell anything before today yet they still have graphs of fluctuating values from before then I find it hard to believe these figures are anything to do with user activity. Probably just generated server side as whatever they want.

People can buy beforehand though.
 
YOU'RE MEANING TO TELL ME SHES REAL?!
Did you think she wasn't real? Do you think any of the people that appear in GT7 aren't real?

It would make sense that they were testing their algorithm over that period. But it's PD so who knows.

Thoughts on the new "Popular Users" bit in Showcase...

A really cool feature to find some of the most popular users, but just wondering how the "rankings" are calculated? Just checked through the list and I've got more followers, content, likes and reposts than some of the users in the top 100 but I'm not there. Is there some sort of popularity box you must tick in order to feature?

The link through from selecting a user to going to their page (at least in a PC browser) takes you to the same level of scroll as you needed to find them (ie. if you scroll all the way down to #99 / #100 and click on their link it takes you to the bottom of their gallery - which is a bit stupid...

Just my two pesos worth.
Yeh, I like the update to Showcase section... it's still not easy enough to interact with others in Showcase IMO, but this new 'popular users' bit is really good, though I was also gutted not to be in any top 100s either :lol:

I reckon it is maybe a monthly thing, as currently #2 in the Scapes Photos ranking is a user that has featured very heavily in the last 3 Scapes updates (suspiciously so in fact), even though their images don't get a lot of likes overall. I've had two #1 trending Scapes in recent months and yet nada when it comes to ranking. I've also been largely inactive in the game for the last month or so, though, so I reckon that's got a lot to do with it!
 
Then why did I get 1,8 mil from each races?
I'm sorry, but you are mistaken :) I'm sure others will confirm as well soon. It even said the top prize is 1mil when opening up the Special Events tab. It's set up the same as the Time Trials, not combining all rewards, but giving out for where you place.

Been playing this morning with friends, same deal, 1mil for the win. You probably thought they would combine and didn't notice when it was paid :)
 
Oh no, they ruined the sound of the GT350R in chase cam.

See those blue checks beside the rewards? You probably didn't notice what you really get.

Yup you're right it's absolutely 1.8 mil if getting 1st place but only if it's your first time getting it while also doing the race for the first time. if you got second and then did the race again then in that case you would only get $1,000,000.

Yeah my apologies, I was so certain of this, but surely it has to be myself who didn't notice what I got paid :dopey: I won both on first tries, so I guess I don't keep good enough track of my money! Can't complain, got 1.6mil mor then I thought I did :D
 
Car reselling is surprisingly robust but it's not even worth the time unless you have OCD about duplicates.
Sold a couple of unwanted dupes at lunchtime (Roulette punishments. I mean prizes) but almost all of my dupes are entirely self inflicted. I bought 3 extra Focus STs, 4 extra BMW M4 Gr4, Genesis Gr4s, Lexus Gr4s etc for a custom race (BTCC at Brands Hatch) and I'm not selling them

Widebody Sierra opens up more wheel choices.

I have to admit, I fired the PS5 up at lunchtime and bought two straight away! One to tune and generally screw around with and one to leave unmolested as Ford intended. You know, exactly as I would in the real world if I had millions burning a hole in my pocket!
