Going to be a long week in GT7. FIA begins in full force, I have 2/5 of the current legend cars and this time I want them all, two leagues I enter practice in, not even touched dailies this week, grinded to buy two Testarossas and one Miura 😅

But the grinding is fine, I vary between all the rally races and do the occasional daytona sunday cup race, I could do 1st race of panamerica champ too 🤔
 
Don't 💩 me but....

300SL >>> Pennzoil GTR

I do not really know where to write this somewhere but when I repainted my Mercedes 300 SL for silver, the interior remains red / beige (original) instead of silver / black as the preview shows 😅. Is it the same for you?

Sorry for My bad English 😅
 
Slightly random, but everytime that 'The Trip' song plays on the map menu I always think "Oh look the Hippies are at it again :lol:"

@GTboyz Yeah, they were somewhere near the boats at the dock if I recall correctly. They were very low res though so hard to really see unless you take a photo and zoom in. Maybe someone with GT4 can post them for us? I don't have GT4 or a PS2 anymore.

This is why I’m not buying expensive used cars in colors I don’t want. Vital details often get lost by applying a paint chip.
 
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

Just think what great logical design they actually could do, and expect them to do the exact opposite. And voila, PDs choice always is stupidity first.

Haven't seen the interior in game yet but the real interior is shades of red even in silver.

I wonder if there will be a patch tomorrow with new payouts. Or will it be next friday. What I see is that PD updates GT7 on fridays.
There’s no notification at the moment so don’t think it’ll be this week unfortunately
 
Well, it is. As much as like the JGTC cars, they just don't measure up to the racing legends of the 50s and 60s imo.
Well of course le mans cars from the 60s have a way more important role in the history of racing cars, but for me JGTC/SGT GT500 cars have a unique beauty, prkbably because they bring the JDM cars that we all love to an extreme level and they still have a very japanese style without influences from western motorsport.
 
I don't know much about EVs so this is gonna sound stupid but why do I still need to shift up 1 time in the Taycan despite it using D gear?
It feels weird driving that car. Fast, but weird.

A few days ago I asked in here how I could get the Speed Demon trophy and a few of you suggested the SRT Tomahawk.

Then I said I had no credits and someone else suggested the best grind tactic of playing the first race of the WTC 700 over and over.

I ended up playing all three races of the WTC 700 4 times, that 100k win bonus really helps, took me most of yesterday in amongst everything else and I made a million CRucks!

Straight to the Dodge dealership, banging on their window and onto Special Route X.

I literally got Speed Demon after 4 seconds, then after pressing R3 (overtake) I saw another notification pop up: Speed Archdemon! I didn't even know that was a thing.

Thanks for all the tips!

I can't upshift the Taycan myself in my game, (controller, manual) but I can hear the car change gears, if that's what you mean. The Taycan does have an unusual setup involving a two speed gearbox at the rear and only one speed at the front, it shifts at 100km/h.

That's similar to the game then. I had to shift up past 90km/h.
 
Too bad. I just want normal payouts. My gameplay in GT7 now just looks like "get daily milage" and go to Horizon Fordbiden West xD
Funny is it's very frustrating experience because I do my part but game give 2000 to 10 000 credits. It's better to put it on hold.
 
I wasn’t sure where to put this observation, does it go into the Photo / Scraps forum or in the General forum. I know I didn’t want to create a whole thread for it, as 1. It’s just an observation and 2. Isn’t a game breaker etc.

The biggest issue I have with GT7 is it’s implementation of Ray Tracing. They didn’t Make a huge deal out of it as a feature. It was mentioned here and there and for me it feels like if they didn’t tack on some sort of RT gamers would be asking why not, so adding a really basic version with lots of weird quirks is just a pass mark and not gold cup for PD in my book.

It seems the RT is only applied to body panels and not glass/windows but I have noticed the side/wing mirrors have a reflection too.

The RT is of a very low resolution and also low frame rate.

It causes a lot of weird artefact-ing/blurring in some menus especially on wheels in the Auto Tune garage scenes.

See these screenshots for what I’m observing…


First two images are from Race Photomode. You can see RT Off then On. You’ll note the windows do not alter in reflection in either mode, yet the body panels do change and so does the lighting ever so slightly.

Weirdly the reflections loose detail with RT On and the windows keep the normal Cube Map reflections packing more fine detail.

None of the images are edited externally to GT7 and are take from the auto upload feature from PS5 to PS-app on iPhone, then uploaded here.
