I imagine the science behind the invitation system goes something like this. If you want to collect every car in the game, you need to play the game a lot. You need to earn enough credits to afford cars you have to buy (as opposed to those that you can win). To get every car in the used car dealership and the legendary dealership you need both to earn enough credits and to allow the stock list to rotate.

All of this means that we need to do a lot of playing and winning to come anywhere close to collecting every car.

While we are doing all this playing, the invitations are coming round infrequently, almost certainly on a random rotation. My guess is that PD will have set the frequency so that players are likely to receive all the invitations during the many many days it takes to collect all the cars that don't need invitations.

If you're aiming to collect every car there's a good chance that you will get all the invitations on the way.

So... this isn't much use to you at the moment, with no known date for the next update, but...


When you get a ticket that has an Invitation in it, and the Invitation isn't for the brand you want, there's a way to potentially change what the Invitation is. It's convoluted and required a game update - so if your ticket expires before the next update the method isn't of any use.

First you'll want to restore the ticket. You can do this by shutting the game down directly from the XMB without exiting the Gifts screen.

Keep hold of the ticket until the next update, and once the update has been installed you want to open the ticket again.

Note that this may - and only may - change the brand of the Invitation. However it's still better odds than waiting to receive an Invitation to drop from a 4/5-Star ticket only for it to be the wrong one.

I ended up with 4 tickets that had invitations before the game was updated and none of the tickets changed from the original brand. Funny, what did change was the position on the wheel where the invitation stopped! :D

I am STILL waiting on a Porsche & Bugatti Invitation...:irked::irked:

Just the Ferrari invitation missing for me. I'm about 30m credits away from completing the collection, barring those 3 Ferraris. I've had multiple of all other invitations, just never that one. I'd love an Enzo!

You have clearly sent out positive vibes to the universe! I have been waiting since DAY ONE for this invite: :bowdown::bowdown:

Full disclosure: I probably got this when I first started the game in March 2022 but didn't have or want to spend the credits...:embarrassed:

After 2 years of playing, I finally got this elusive luxury...!

3952DB45-9B13-4A2E-8F4B-8F24FD70A1DE.jpeg


The Citroen invitation is the last one I need to complete acquiring all of the cars locked behind invites, and one that’s particularly bittersweet, because after getting the Enzo during the period of offering all invites to the whole playerbase, the Citroen was the next one (and the last before the time runs out) on my shopping list. I was in a rush to amass enough credits during the last day, but I got stuck with a Circuit Experience so much that I couldn’t make it (both the CE golding and enough cr.) before the deadline. After that, I’ve been wishing for the Citroen invite, but to no avail...

But earlier last week, when playing the roulette scene for a 3 or 4 star ticket the first time, I spotted a Citroen invite within, and while it didn’t land on that slot, my gut told me that sooner or later in the next several/ten days I will get it if I do my daily GT chore without missing a single day in that period. And come the next day, I did the marathon, and Christ the Holy shone on me... :cheers:

I think I can now focus on the Legends (after getting 4 GTbCs in quick succession :lol:), and leave the dupes for invitation cars that I like lower on the priority. I’d hate to see the invitation system return in the next installment, though. Ridiculously overpriced Legends can be ameliorated by grinding (and to a larger extent AFK methods), but this? This has no remedy whatsoever. :crazy:
 
Same :D This and the Pagani invitation, I've not been able to acquire for over a year now, and I'm always 2 cars short of having the full collection. To make things worse, I've recieved invitations for Porsche, Ferrari and other for like 10-15 times in that period of time, but still no Citroen/Pagani.
 
I saw the Citroen invitation a couple of times in the roulette but it always stops on something else (last time I won an awesome.... Cr. 10.000 exhaust).
 
I can't even count how many times I've had that Citroen invitation. Same for Bugatti, Aston Martin, and Lamborghini. Had Pagani once. I finally got a Ferrari invite the other day. I bought two Enzos, two La Ferraris and an FXX K, (my least favorite of the bunch).
 
So, in case this turns out to be false, I’ve decided to post here instead of opening an entire new thread for it, but anyway…


If any of you have saved a ticket that is supposed, pre-Update 1.49, to award a Brand Invitation, you might have a different invite for opening the ticket after the Update is installed.

Saying this because I just opened my tickets after the installation, and now I’m receiving Porsche + Citroen. And I remember very vividly (probably just yesterday) that I was given Porsche + Ferrari for the 2 tickets before…

The ticket that probably changed the Invite awarded is, I suppose, the one that was awarded for a Daily Marathon done on the same day as the Update lands.

No concrete video proof, but I can show you that I have won the Porsche + Citroen invites. Not that it helps. :lol:

It's all entirely true, and I stated it on the last page.

Other than credits, which always seem to stay at the same value, all tickets can have different rewards after a content update. Thus far I get about one in eight changing, but car rewards appear to change more often than any other type.

Yeah, I know that they can sometimes change. I just always assumed that the change in rewards is because there’s a change in the code list or in the position an arbitrary player is on in the list, and that such changes can only occur if something (say, a new entry) is added to the list, or if there’s been a modification to the code the player is getting at an entry on the list (like a minor screwup on PD’s part), or if PD swapped the list being used for another one. I remember reading something similar on the forums, and that’s what I am basing my knowledge on, although I cannot be sure about its truthfulness.

Since it seems there has been no entry added to the Brand Invite codes, I find it particularly peculiar, hence the post to remind others.

There's never been an entry added to the brand Invitations. They've always had the possibility of change. My records say I had Citroen to Porsche in January.

That’s… weird. Do you happen to know if what I said in my previous post is actually accurate? Or if it’s just some GT urban myth, and that something else’s actually in the works for these unexplainable changes? 🤔

It's more or less my theory. My notion is it's repurposed GT5 UCD code (which was basically how GT Sport's daily workout worked), and you're placed on the list somewhere by some pseudo-random generated number (GT5 used a combination of PlayerID and console ID) and simply work your way along. Then, when anything's put in the list to change it - in a content update - the whole list changes.
