Back using the alt. Only up to Collector Level 7. Menu Book 13. Golded all the Circuit Experiences thus far. Only bought two cars, the initial game starter Toyota and an NA Roadster. Spent about 15k in tuning parts and have 16.26mil in the bank, with 16.28mill total accumulated. Knowing what I know from my main account, not Buying cars until I actually need a specific one. Also, only using my bonus cars for as many events they qualify for. I’ll tune them instead of buying a new car.

I’ll no doubt have to buy some LCD cars when reaching the higher books. So, just saving the credits until then.

I drove some cars and watched some music replays. This game looks 9/10 running on an older PS4 engine, god knows what GT8 will look like. Took a lot of share screens while the camera zoomed in on the cars, just great graphics. Even tracks are looking great, with real high-res textures everywhere (mostly), Le mans is ugly
 
Because of boredom, I did a Le Mans 2 Hours endurance with Gr 1. Then marked the CLK and McLaren Longtail in the LCD so I can start saving for them when they pop up again.

Couple of Daily Race B this morning then decided to try and gold the remaining Special Licences I had.

Tokyo, Trial Mountain, Interlagos and Deep Forest all done with beating the gold time by about 2 seconds.

Sardegna I only just beat (I hate rally in this game).

Now only have Laguna Seca and Spa to complete. Knocked 3 seconds off my Laguna Seca time, but still need to find another .500 to get gold.

Having a wheel and the updates have helped with them immensely.
 
Some good news: I am able to play GT7 every weekend, as I am visiting my aunt’s house each weekend. This is where my family will be staying until we get our BS sorted out. I am temporarily living with my grandfather with literally no Gran Turismo to play there (my PS3 and both GT5 and GT6 are at my grandfather's house, but there is no available TV for me to use).

So, being able to play GT7 at the aunt’s, I thought I’d share this base tune with you following my acquisition of the 787B engine through a six-star engine ticket I got today from the daily mileage quest. Of course, I decided to put it in one of my RX-7 Spirit Rs, which had the fitting Renown livery applied already (courtesy of GusButts).

With the power set to 420 hp, and the weight at 2529 lb (incl. ballast), this thing is capable of getting through the entirety of the Le Mans WTC700 on one tank of fuel on FM1, maximizing my fuel saving by short shifting, lifting and coasting. I also happened to get lucky today and got a race with no rain (well, not enough rain to force me to slap even the inters on), so the day only got better for me today! I did stop once on lap 6 for new rubber because the rear tires were starting to get a bit worn.

Oh, and that quad-rotor sound is such a blast to listen to. To those who happen to have a 787B engine laying around or already have one in the RX-7 Spirit R, enjoy!

On the GTP account, I did a couple laps at Watkins Glen, then took an engine-swapped/widened 2003 BMW M3 to Tokyo. It has the speed and the fuel efficiency, but it doesn't handle well. Still, I survived a 5-second penalty to collect the win.

The all-cash 4-star Wheel of Despair gave the 2nd-low-showing (and lowest possible showing) 30,000 Cr.

On the Plus account, it took a last-lap pass, and a surprise 3rd pit from Gallo, to secure a win in the Jaguar F-type R at Tokyo. The 4-star Wheel of Despair gave the low-showing 30,000 Cr. As none of the "cheap" Hagerty's cars I still need are available, I continued on the 1,000,000-Cr. kick, buying the VW GTI Roadster VGT.
 
Beat all the new events from the last major update and got the V8 from the Ford GT LM Spec II race car from the six-star engine ticket. Put it in a Focus RS and tuned it for 700PP events.

I also bought an Aston DP-100 VGT and used it twice for the Tokyo WTC600. Not stopping in that race saves a bit of time compared to one-stopping in all my other RM road cars.

I now need 26 cars and my collection will be complete. The vast majority are VGTs, but I have some eight-figure classics to get too.

Hi,

I managed to get into the 1:14:0xx range on the TT at Watkins Glen. I am pleased to say the least! Once I work out the throttle position for the bus stop and the infernal / cursed / diabolical / hated / who the **** designed this corner: right hander, I reckon at 1:13:xxx is on the cards for me. Only another 1500 attempts and I am home and dry! :banghead:

On the Plus account, I got rain tires for the Subaru Gr.4, then took it to Sarthe. Despite the low PP, it probably would win a dry race. It wasn't exactly dry - a short band of yellow sent me to the pits for intermediates after the second lap, and a second bout of rain during lap 5 sent everybody else down for intermediates. I had planned on pitting on lap 5 to put the slicks back on, but I saw the second batch of rain incoming and stretched the fuel out to lap 6. A win is a win, as is the usual lowest-possible 100,000 Cr. on a 5-star roulette wheel. It wasn't enough to get the other Volkswagen VGT.

On the GTP account, it was a wet laugher as I pulled out an old Praiano-based tune for an R32 GT-R. Once I remembered I had to set the fuel map down to make 3 laps (I used FM 6, though I probably could have done FM 5 or maybe even FM 4), it was easy. The soaking rain came starting at the end of lap 2, which is when I came down for full-wet tires. The rest of the field waited until lap 3 to choose what tires to switch to, and they were all over the field. The on-track rain lasted until I made it through Dunlop on lap 4, though a band of rain stayed to the east throughout that lap, so I came back down on lap 5 for a fresh set of RH tires and fuel. Even though I kept the fuel map at 6, I set the fast lap of the race on the final lap (7), at just under 4:20.

The 3-star Wheel of Despair chipped in no cash, instead giving a camshaft for the Jaguar F-type R. Still, could have been worse and a semi-racing muffler.

Had a bit more time later in the day, so I ran the Spa GR.3 with the Jaguar and won it.

I also ran a few at Sardegna,(C9, BMW F1 GTR) and one at LeMans with the P330.

I‘ve switched over to TCS 1 and like it much better. I tried the GR.3 races before without success until I switched over to it.

Got gold in Laguna Seca licence test.

Only have Spa left and it's going to be a mission. Couldn't complete a single lap on it today.

That one lap (and the 3 legends cars) is all I have left for the platinum trophy.
I'm been trying for ages to do it with my normal settings and assists, but I may cave and turn everything on to max - just to get it out the way.
 
Did the Nurburgring Nordschleife Circuit Experience. Along with a bunch of others.

Have a dozen or so left. Then onto Missions.

Yes, young padawan, feel the anger and come over to the dark side (add evil laugh) :mischievous:
 
On the GTP account, I did some final laps at Autopolis for the soon-to-be-expiring WRS time trial, then got a duplicate 2016 GT-R GT500 for the new one. I beat my previous time by a full second, but it still is slow (at least through the second sector) compared to the rest of the gang.

As I hit the marathon cap, I took my low-showing 10,000 Cr. from the 3-star Wheel of Despair before heading off to Sardegna for the daily grind. I used the 2008 NSX GT500 with RH tires for that. I got punted while trying to lap Bishop, but it otherwise was the normal stomping.

On the Plus account, I took what finished last on the GTP account to Sardegna, the NSX Gr.3. It has the fuel to do the 1-tire-change 6-5-4 strategy, but not the tire wear. Mendoza and his Vantage was just too quick on the first 2 attempts, but I managed to get out of the pits after my second stop in front of him the third try, and I cruised to the win in 27:06.

The insulting 3-star Wheel of Despair gave the lowest-possible 5,000 Cr., but I still had enough to get the (2015) VW GTI Supersport VGT. That leaves just the Zagato VGT and a couple of Hagerty's cars at or under 1,000,000 Cr., at least until near the end of the week.
 
I got back to this game after finally figuring out what was wrong with the SSD I had installed on my old PS4, it was taking too long to install because the SSD didn't had cache DRAM so it was running out buffer while installing the game's massive size when I already had other games installed, so I switched it out for a Crucial MX500 which solved this issue...It's wasn't exactly cheap but at least I can play all my games now with reduced loading times while also having more storage, without needing a external HD.

Today I tried my hand at the Tokyo WTC600 which pays 500k and its being harder than I expected, the best car I got for it is the swapped Delta Integrale I have from the roulette bonanza, whose 4x4 system is indispensable for the wet roads, but holy **** the brakes are awful...

And whoever though about adding those ridiculous penalties for colliding against the walls needs to be fired, having the car damage from light touches on the walls is already crippling enough, the penalties just royally **** me over!

Did the 5 race 800pp championship for a change. With the tuned up f50, which is a blast to drive. Also finally got the 800km oval trophy, that was a lot of super boring driving. Now only got about 20 photos to shoot, including the ones with a certain car and then im platinum! Back up to 8.2 million after buying some expensive cars. Hoping to get the gto but probably wont make it tll 20 before its gone. Roulette ticket gave me a useless invite for a car i already own....

Grinding for a 4th and final F1 GTR LongTail as one of them The one I use to grind was equipped with Racing Hards before I knew that the AI will only use those in custom races so I will probably either give it the LARK livery or the slowest 1997 team F1 GTR livery for my 1997-1998 FIA GT/Le mans races.
 
Got home from my holiday getaway and purchased the Ferrari 250 GTO '62 for 20m credits.

Car collection complete! 442/442. Job done! :) :cheers:

Did a race at Sardegna for credits and purchased all the Pastel real car paint jobs. Purchased a third of the black ones.
