Help a noob with the game

[mangov]

Hello, i want to know more about the game but i dont know people who are into racing games so i dont have with who to talk and exchange info so i have to ask you mates. I have played years in gt sport but i was just doing custom time runs for fun but now i want to experience everything the game has to offer.
Can you tell me what things are good to be done in the game. Which tracks are worth learning the most and for which car category. What are the best tracks to learn gr3 and gr4 cars cuz i am little slow. I havent played online but i hope soon i will try it and want to know what is best to do so i train and get prepared for what to expect.
Maybe other things that can be usefull to a new player.

Have u done the Menue? I would start this first. U will get some cars, roulette tickets, credits an a first overview of the tracks and cars. Then maybe do the license tests. Nearly about the same reasons like the menue. -> Cars for free.

After that, do what u want and u have the most fun with. If ur goal is Online Racing, take ur won or buyed Gr3 Cars, look/search for praianos Setups for them and drive the WTC700, 730 or 800 Races, until u feel save in handling them.

If ur more the Collector/Singleplayer Type, use ur Gr.1/2/3/4 Cars and „grind“ the endurance races at Tokyo/Sardegna/Spa/LeMans for lots of credits and waste them at the brand central or lcd.

Most people do menus, licences, missions and circuit experience in roughly that order, but overlapping.
The menus and license tests give you some 90 cars quickly, so they are useful. You need licences to open up some circuits and menus. Also you probably need a couple of high payout races to quickly earn credits.
After that it is mostly personal taste and preference. I am a Nurburgring fan and like some real life circuits like Spa and Le Man's. But to each his own.
Please be a bit more specific with your question, and we can help you more. Also read some of the pinned threads on this forum.

OK seems I have to give you feedback where am I in progress. Done all menus, all licences not all gold, done most of the missions not all gold, don't want to do the circuit experience, have 140 cars and don't want to grind cr anymore.

If you're looking to go online I'd say just jump in, there's no real reason to be apprehensive about it.

Every Monday Sport mode refreshes with 3 new races so you have a full week to practice those 3 tracks if you want, plus the championships are open so you can practice those before you decide to take part.

Otherwise there is no specific tracks that it's important to practice besides the ones you personally don't know well or are slower at, as Sport mode will pick generally quite randomly what tracks to use (though it's typically not rally circuits).

Circuit experience is quite fun and easy to bronze at for a good haul of credits before you even consider gold times which on some circuits are very easy as well and will net you even more cash so there no reason not to do them. You can typically bronze most without any practice so it doesn't take long to make a lot of credits from it.

You can also have endless fun with the custom races.
Adjust the weather slots, increase time ratio so you get those lovely day to night transitions.
Adjust to grid with any cars you like.
I like having cars of various classes and put all the slower cars at the front of the grid, faster cars and me at the back with rolling starts. Fun challenge.
GR3 or GR4 classes as my favourite, especially GR3. Most of the cars are evenly matched so you get nice close races.
My favourite tracks are:
Spa
Full Nurburgring
Dragon's Trail
All the Tokyo Express courses

I would suggest looking for some online events in the GT7 online section here. The racing is normally clean and competitive. It gives you a chance to focus on a car and track in detail (perhaps make a livery) and then race with people who aren't A-holes and will be much more fun than the IA.

For me the Circuit Experiences give you the tools to attack the Missions - albeit I do Bronze all the missions first and then Circuit Experience. There are 2 trophies with Circuit Experiences once you have done 5 and 15 circuits. An all Bronze Nordshliefe is a nice 1million

Lol thank you so much. All answers were great. First I am leaving sport mode for later cuz I have not payed for online play - money reasons. Second Can you tell me more about that championships and where to find them

 

[mangov]

I am really grateul about your answers

At Spa the gr 3 cup vs AI I get first 1 out of 5 races. Is this bad or not that pathetic

Well, at present state, if you don't want to grind, should go to Sport Mode.
If you feel you aren't fast enough, definitely should do some of the circuit experiences.

Firstly because most of Sport Mode races are based on Gr. 3 and Gr. 4 cars and many of the experiences use cars from this two groups (30 of the 43 experiences), so no harm on doing them to get an hand on this cars and find out the models that suit you more.
