How to properly start GT7?

[Lightpilgrim]

Thank you for all suggestions. Then I will keep collecting money.

Guys, maybe it was discussed and you know where I can find it: I would love to understand how I can have more 5-6 star tickets. Where they are available? What is the best way to ge there?

5-6 stars are directly available only through extra menus other than pure chance through daily marathons.
The roulette system is rigged by itself, so i wouldn't recommend buying $500k cars to get a 6 star ticket which may give you a High lift camshaft S that worths no more than 10% of that.

Buy the engines you want, save credits and be patient to receive invitations.

I agree with the severe imbalance between costs of unlocking extra-menus and rewards

Though a 6* will never deliver a part (unless it is a 6* parts ticket)

Here are the stats : https://ddm999.github.io/gt7info/ticket-rewards.html

He can't buy swap engines until he reaches collector level 50 and he is only at level 43 with a long way to go to reach 50.
He doesn't need to worry about swap engines at this time unless he wins one at the roulette wheel or as a prize ticket such as the weekly challenge events reward.

You have enough credits for a Mazda 787B and some proper grinding.

He just bought a couple of group C cars that he can use if he wants. No need to buy another.

Is there a reason I need that car? Something I cannot win without it?

No , there isn't any race that you can't win without it.
It's just one of the cars that many players prefer for many reasons, performance,handling, fuel efficiency, and sound mostly.
Definitely you will have the chance to buy it again soon enough as and the rest of them.
It's well known that gt7 economy sucks, unfortunately we walk with what we have , so building a bank account in case of emergency ( invitation or temptation) and spend only what's above is always a wise move.

possible to get to 100M ? I think I could do 5M per week, so it is 6 months to get to 100M. But then I am not in a rush. GT8 is not until 2027/2028.

Maybe that is my 2025 target: gold on all current F1 tracks and get to 100M. Which is roughly 10M monthly.

 

[smoothbore12]

Isn't so realistic target to reach 100 with so many cars missing from your garage.
After all are enough only for 5 Unicorn cars 😂 ( cars at 20 million) and you're gonna need way more than this.
A smaller " cup " ,20 millions for example is more realistic and the game isn't only griding,you need to have fun , running different cars , challenging yourself or your friends and whatever pleases you anyway.
Buy older cars from used car dealer and if they are cheap, buy a couple for example,not a single one.

In general put griding or collecting credits in one side and the fun and entertainment in the other side.
The balance between them is your decision and of course can be different in a couple of months from now as you get more familiar with it.
With saying Take it slow i mean don't get upset cause you can't buy this or that , you can't earn in a few months achievements that others needed a year and more .
You are already in a good level ,you have unlock everything, so no time to rush , fun factor is most important 😁

Thing is, yiu can buy majority of cars in the game for 100 odd mill... brand central and used car dealership. Plus some cheap lcd cars.

I dont have exact numbers to hand.... think you can get an idea from pinned thread at top of forum.

Just bear that in mind.

Agree that whenever you get invite... buy them without hesitsting. As you may be waiting over a year.

Dont worry too much ablut state of funds, as you have a month before invite expires. So can easily get credits by hitting big grind races.

A few of lcd are nice, but not worth 20 mill at all... if large part of value is derived by imcome they generate. Theres few races theyre useful for, so value comes from how much you want it in your stable for whatever reason, or collect every car in game.

Unless yku have real burning desire for one of these cars, dont worry abkut them until much further down the line. As from practical in game perspective, tgey really dont offer anything, that vastly cheaper cars do.

To be frank, some are amongst worse performing/handling cars in the game. Not surprising, when built 70 odd years ago.

Kaz seemed to think itd perhaps make us cherish/owning them, perhaps. I think he took it to far, as theyre obvuiusly not the real car

I think I could do 5M per week

There are a few races in the game wich a much higher reward per time invested than all the others.
Basically, you can recieve about 800k per 30 minutes of racing on these selected races.
If in need for credits, this can propably be boring to repeat over and over again, though it also could be a challenge you find interesting for yourself in how to win them in different ways.

Depending on how much time you play per day of course, 5m per day is a possibility.

Le Mans is one of them, 825K for 30 min. And I like the track too. Can be very easy and relaxing!

Was my favourite race at the griding procedure period, different cars , different strategy, testing, looking for faster lap times , lazy and easy cars etc.
I was doing it 2-3 times per day trying to invent ways to to do it more interesting but i have to admit that i had company with other friends here that trying some challenges between us and wasn't boring at all back then.

My first online daily event today.

I agree with @smoothbore12 here. I consider LM the easiest and most chilled way to get credits. You can use a plethora of different cars, the AI is really slow on easy mode and the track is long and wide with relatively few corners, so there is no need for deep concentration. Just keep an eye on the fuel and the weather radar und you'll be fine.
I was grinding LM occasionally over a few month and got all the credits I needed to buy all the cars I wanted.

Drove around LM a couple of times and finishing a week with 7.5M in my pocket.

 

[Lightpilgrim]

Now I have 10M and lacking an invite. Now sure what I should do to get a better chance:-) Ready to spend a few dollars:-)

There is nothing you can do to increase your chances. They will come in time.

Edit: Did you ever buy the Aston Martin One-77 that you got an invite for? You only posted about buying the Vulcan.

If you already only lack one invite, that's cool, some people waited for years to complete their collection of invite cars.

Keep the credits necessary for this invite and spend everything above as you wish.

He lacks more than one invite. He just means that he wants to get an invite to use the credits that are burning a hole in his pocket.

I guess he feels rich right now 😂 and the credits are burning indeed.

It's a common mistake that usually end up calculating how many griding races you must do in order to catch a car before vanished.

I guess we're gonna have and a update this week which means more credits to spend 😁 .

Based on previous updates, this update will be next week on the 30th which is the last Thursday of the month.
At least there should not be another 20m. car!

 

[Lightpilgrim]

I got the following invites so far and purchases these cars:
1. Veneno “14
2. Carrera GT ‘04
3. One-77 ‘11
4. Vulcan ‘16

I do not know which invites I am expected to get still and what is the cost of these cars. Surprised that Ferrari did not get in touch with me as they are my fav Brand.

Also, I am confused how many cars I have?
See the two pictures. One one it says above car collection (83), but when I click there, I see 111 of 519.

Ferrari has 3 invite cars and the sum is a bit below 10M IIRC.

83 is the number of cars you did not look up after acquiring them. It is 83 "new" cars, and the red spot disappears once you click on the car in your collection to read about it.

Perhaps you're right , might be next week.
I guess it was the first time that appears a 20 million car in update, unless i miss something cause i start gt7 one year after released.

@Lightpilgrim you need 4 invitations more that have 6 cars.
3 from Ferrari and one from Citroen , Pagani and Bugatti.
Although always there's a possibility to be gifted one of them from a ticket .
Mines was usually Ferrari and Bugatti and i wait too long to buy Pagani for the second time (bought 4 more ).
The last 6-7 months i only got two invitations!!!! While in the first year always was at least one invitation active all the time in my board.

There are 10 total invite cars and these are the invite cars that you lack:
Bugatti Veyron 16.4
Citroen GT by Citroen Road Car
Ferrari LaFerrari
Ferrari Enzo Ferrari
Ferrari FXX K
The Pagani Huarya is also an invite car but I think you won this when you completed menu book 39, so you don't need to worry about getting that invite. Remember that you can receive duplicates of invites you have already received.
You can see the prices of the cars you lack in Brand Central in the Europe section.
PD doesn't know or care that Ferrari is your favorite brand and issue an invite based on that. 😂

You have posted that you have won a couple of engines. If you don't mind, could you post a screenshot of them from the Garage>Tuning Parts? Depending on the engines, it might be time to experience an engine swap if you are interested in doing one.

What ?? I am happy when I get less 2 per week 😅 but before that when 2 years after launch I was "desperately" waiting for a Lambo invite, I happened to pass one or two months without an invite.

Currently I have at least 3 active (including 2 times a Ferrari, so 4 invites in the last month)

I got Pagani from the ticket.

Lucky man ! (I had the Carrera this way, and I sold it, before they added the extra café menus where you need the car in the garage in order to get the ticket, hopefully I got 1 Porsche invite one day)

You push him on dangerous and costly roads 🤣
Although the truth is that very few swaps worth to deal with ,most of them are making the cars residents of Spin city.
