What did you do in GT7 today?

This become my daily routine now:

1) Check the UCD and LCD for cars that cost 1,000,000 Cr. or less which I want and buy them (grind if needed). Yesterday I got the BMW CSL 3.0, Mangusta and Stratos. At least today and tomorrow there are no new cars (because something needs to go “out of stock” first).

2) Take my Tomahawk VGT S and grind Daytona Tri-Oval from the American Sunday Cup 600 for 4 races (that’s probably the quickest way to grind the daily mileage and get a little bit of Cr. while doing it (90,000 Cr. for 4 clean races).

3) Use my daily ticket and receive my 5,000 Cr.

4) Log off and play another game for fun. In this case that’s GRID Legends or Horizon Zero Dawn.
 
Finally beat the Daytona 730PP race with the Ford GT '18 Race Car. Have to do some down tuning to get it below 730PP (unlike the Vette or Jag where you can just jump right in); took a bit of messing with but found a good combo. Actually beat it twice: one race came down to a ~+1.5 and the other was +2.5. Fun stuff.

Beat the 800PP around Dragon Trail reverse. Used the NSX GT500. That car is so sick. Great on tires and great on fuel. Won by a good 20 seconds; was way easier than I thought it would be. Will likely go back and do it again with a legit Gr3 car.
 
Go to the UCD, look at the Lancia Stratos an ponder around if I should get it or not...

It's a classic an I would like to like it, but in every GT game that I played so far, I was completly unable to control that thing and it got all dusty and rusty in my garage...
 
Today well I updated the 930 yet again , entered it in that All German Car Race at the Green hell and won quite easily by over 30 seconds

Won another race at Daytona by 0.2sec , now that was fun

Finally decided to run any championships that would let me enter my rather silly Super Raptor

So it won........

HSR Cup , wet race was erm interesting ,
Trial Mountain Cup , even got a sub 2 min lap in the clockwise event ,
Pan Amercian Championship , yup all 3 races easily ,
WTC 600 , now this again was fun seeing this huge truck playing with the little cars ,
Finally the WTC 700 , little bit of a struggle here but the Truck held on for another championship .

All in all a sub 400 mile day but my CR now stands at just over 5 Million CR and no grinding as such , just straight racing , mostly in a truck though :dopey:

Logged in for the first time since 1.06, bought MK3 Supra and something else I don't remember from the UCD, pondered the CSL 3.0.

Put a bigboy supercharger on the '15 Stang and took it to Trial Mtn Cup. Once. Logged off.

Also did some fiddling with Custom Races, payout calculations are quite interesting if you start messing about with race length.

Today I decided to mess around with the livery editor for a bit and decided "Why not a Z-tune of that old Chonker from 89'?" 🤣

Fine tuning it using the Clubman + races, too.
 
Decided to fully mod my GT40 2006 and............its absolutely undrivable. All the credits wasted. The snap oversteer is so bad I can only coast through corners.

I spent HOURS trying to find a setup that works for me, and found none. Super soft rear suspension, LSD maxed out, rear downforce maxed out, racing hards, proper toe 0f 0.30 on the rear - nothing helps. Its around 700PP yet I can easily beat it with my 650 PP Integra because that car can actually corner.


I have played all Gran Turismo games sans Sports, I have played many Colin McRae games and also Richard Burns rally and Assetto Corsa, I consider myself an experienced sim racer, and this snap oversteer is absolutely RIDICULOUS.

Did my daily mileage, got a 3 star ticket that gave me 10k.
Shut down the PS4, started up the PC to practice for the iRacing 12 hours of Sebring that I'm racing with a team this weekend.
 
Couple things from me:

  • Bought the Red Bull X2014 Junior and brought it to the WTC 700 championship with no modifications or detuning required. It was quite good. It was seemingly on par with the Gr.4 cars I have used previously without any mods.
  • Bought a black Honda S660 and gave it quite a few mods. Medium-RPM turbo with anti-lag, race exhaust, fully-customizable suspension, some aero bits, and more. Just over 500PP with a little over 110 horses. Took it to the Tokyo Highway Parade and it very easily won.
 
Been punted by Gr3 iA et Laggo Maggiore and Spa. It was enough for my daily workout and patience
 
I did more endurance races, beat the L750R Hybrid 2 days ago, then mixed it up last night with the Mark IV race car vs GR.4

The Mark IV is a handful, se easy to over steer. I had put it on random weather as well, except for some 'pprogrammed' rain at the end for a rainy finish. Of course, random weather was all dry as last time. The thing with the Mark IV is, it handles better in the rain! Or rather easier to catch when the back breaks out. In the dry you don't get any warning, it just goes. High speed sections are terrifying in that thing :lol:

Poor car got all scratched up from randomly seeking out the wall

Close finish, past the last one on the final straight.

I had the fastest lap for a while until the AI got its catch up boost again. They're just toying with you, go out up to 2 minutes ahead in the beginning of the race, then slow down so you can catch them and speed up again when you get close or pass them. It provides entertainment along the way, they spin out regularly as well.

It looks like the AI is slowest in the TT Cup, best in the Viper and Cayman.

The last lap in the rain

Btw I didn't mean to go wide at T1, the car veers off course that easily.

Fun and exhausting. Fingers cramping from the necessary throttle control, yet can't wait to go again lol. Hopefully we'll get more weather options, thunder, lightning, high winds, snow, hail. Bring it on!

Finally got around to completing the IA and S Licenses. Spent most time on S-7 without realising the car had nitro 🙈 Despite some frustrating challenges, it made for a nice break to grinding. Will turn my hand to the endurance races tomorrow.

I thought they got rid of the boost after the patch.

That makes me feel a bit better if true! I completed it without looking up guides and looked at Reddit afterwards to see if others found it as frustrating. Saw lots of people mentioning nitro boost and felt a bit of a Wally for missing it.
 
Completed the WTC 600... I'll admit it wasn't my best and if the AI were real people I'm sure they'd labelled me as one of the dirtiest of drivers lol 😂....in my defense though, there's only so many time that I can tolerate being pit maneuvered into the barriers, either way I won the championship by 1 point and didn't even win any of the races. Got to Cafe Menu 35 and have to call it night.
