Finally !! Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this one?

Its Been A Long Time Waiting GIF


Last car from Brand Central will soon be mine.
 
The requirements are that you made it through Menu Book 39, watched the end movie, reached Collector Level 35, and then accepted Menu Book 44 in the cafe.
Thanks mate! :D

Not the place for complaining, and this isn't even a complain but, wow... soooo many requirements :lol: It almost looks like a "to do list" to summon a demon :lol:
 
On the GTP account, I took my tuned Ford Focus RS to Sarthe for a wet Sunday drive. Despite not taking rain tires, I made it work.

The no-cash 5-star Wheel of Despair gave another Bore Up S for the AMG A 45, making 3 total. I bought a bunch of Countaches for future engine purposes.

On the Plus account, I used the Alfa Romeo 155 at Sarthe for a carbon driveshaft for the 2002 Dodge Viper from the 4-star marathon roulette.
 
Tuned up my 2013 Viper GTS. Used Praiano's 700ppp tune for LeMans. Got an Ultra-High RPM turbo for an Atenza,(another car I don't want).

I also tuned the Viper to the max, (830pp), 1004 HP. It'll hit 212 mph at LeMans on FM6. It really comes alive at full power, and turns 3:45's easy on RS tires.
 
Taking my WeatherTech GT cars out for some WTC races. Got a dupe TT '03 from a 3-Star and sold it for 11k.
 
3 lots of Le Mans 30 minutes using the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Toyota Supra Gr. 4 and Genesis G70.

The Aston and Genesis were fairly simple wins (Aston has decent fuel consumption so went 3 on FM1 then 1 on FM4 before needing to pit so got a 1 pit race).

The Supra though, if it wasn't for being able to also do a 1 pit race it struggles to catch up to the Corvette and Viper.

Got a 6 star daily roulette today which gave me this.

Saved me 3m Cr.
 
Jan 5th

- yesterday I completed the World Touring Car 800 at Watkins Glen, so today I followed It up doing its CE.

- I also completed today the WTC800 at Barcelona. And man, what a horrible track. It just doesn't flow.

- the wheel dropped a giant brake pad for a Mustang I don't own.

- no buying, no selling cars today.
 
Started prepping for vr2, focusing mainly on eye fitness today. I'm rolling my eyes to the left, then to the right 10 times. Rest for a min then repeat for 4 sets total. I then do the same volume, but vertically instead.

Tomorrow I will focus on neck muscles, oscillating in various directions for 20 minutes. I'm probably going increase resistance by purchasing one of those neck weight lifting harnesses, but need to conduct further research, as iirc they carry a fair risk of injury.

On Saturday I'll be heading to the harbour and will go out on a boat for 20 minutes, then gradually increase the time at sea, to build up tolerance/threshold to mitigate any potential motion sickness issues.

Finally tu(r)ned my neglected De Tomaso Pantera into a GT4 car. I didn't expect much from it but I tweaked the setup a little and it turned out to be a wonderful car for the GT4 races! It has immediately become my favorite car to do the 700PP 30 Minutes at Le Mans.

It has a lot of mechanical grip, it can keep up with the GT4 cars in the corners despite its minimal downforce, its goes easy on the tires and at the straights it does 320 km/h. On racing hards I can do a 4:06 at LeMans (chicanes) at 685PP.

And man-oh-man, the idling sound in the pits is probably the best in the game. It does not sound like a car engine, it sounds like a hammer mill. :drool:

If you have this car give it a chance - for grinding cash at 700PP LeMans I recommend using the tune in the picture below. If you go at Lean setting 2 and shift gears at 5000-5500 RPM you can do 3 Lap stints while easily beating the cars at normal difficulty.

And on the last lap at the 700PP Le Mans event I smacked full speed into the start of the tire wall - which was entirely my fault as I got wheels into the wet grass just before the braking zone. :scared:

I'm taking the night off from GT7. Been playing it every day for the last month. I did play last night until 12:45am, so I got my roulette ticket for the day. 30k credits... Ended up getting my best lap of 4:03:808 at Le Mans in the Celica Rally car on FM:6. So I'm happy with that. I'm sure this car can hit sub 4's with the leanest fuel setting, but then you will just sit and wait at the finish line even longer unless you want to do an 8th lap. So I don't try to push much harder since the reward is spending another 3 1/2 minutes on the track than necessary.
 
On the Plus account, I dragged the Renault R.S.01 out to Sardegna for an easy 1-stop win (FM 3). The 3-star workout roulette, instead of giving me one of the 3 cars on the wheel, gave the low-showing/2nd-highest-possible 100,000 Cr.

On the GTP account, I lapped the bottom half of the field at Sardegna with the Aston Martin DBR9. This time, the 3-star Wheel of Despair wasn't nearly as generous - it still gave the low-showing amount of credits, but it was also the lowest possible 5,000 Cr.
 
Working on doing time trials on Le Mans with the Gr. 1 cars. 3 laps for each car.

Got another 6 star daily roulette which gave me 1m Cr.

What are the chances of 6 star 3 days in a row?
 
Drove an RX-8 to victory in the Spa 800, then tried to convince the wife we should buy an RX-8 that's for sale locally.
She was not impressed. Wait til she hears of my master plan to tactically acquire a 26B engine like the one I drove in the game has!
Also purchased a Subaru with the half a million credit daily marathon prize. It wasn't enough money to get my Toyota out of the "pawn shop", but tomorrow I'll have time...unless I'm burning up I-40 in an RX-8.
I have yet to figure out how to no stop Sardegna or the Group 1 Road Atlanta race. I could no stop the Tokyo 600 with an engine swapped RX-7, the Spa 800 and the Le Mans 700 with a 787B, but no dice on the others.
All three of those cars have a 26B engine. The easiest to drive is the 787B but it requires the most detuning, the RX-7 is the fastest but hardest to control, and the RX-8 is somewhere in the middle. Neither of the RX models require much de tuning, though if you run either of them, leave the option open for racing soft tires. The 787B can get by with hard tires and rain tires.

- I got gold from CE at Interlagos and Laguna Seca. Also completed Lago Maggiore WTC 800 and GT Gr3 events.

- Went shopping and collected these cars: BMW CSL '73; Toyota Sports 800 '65; Toyota MR2 GT-S '97: Ferrari 512 BB '76, Subaru Imprenza 22b STi '98 and Subaru Imprenza Coupe WRX Type R '99.
 
Ran LeMans with the '13 Viper GTS. One 10-lapper at 700pp, one 5-lapper at 800pp, and a few time trials at max tune.

Got it down to 3:40.3 at max tune.

Received an Amuse NISMO 380RS from the wheel.
 
Finally golded the Gone With The Wind mission that is drag racing against the Viper at the quarter mile strip. I'm not a good drag racer but I finally managed to beat the AI Viper with my Nissan GTR 17' NISMO, and I beat it by a huge margin, I did a 8:713.
Had to carefully adjust the gear settings, AWD torque distribution and suspension.

At the finishing line:

On the GTP account, I used the Huracan Gr.4 at a wet Sarthe for the mileage/credits. The 3-star Wheel of Despair disappointed as usual, giving the low-showing 10,000 Cr.

On the Plus account, it took quite a bit of an assist from the weather, but I won a soaked Sarthe with the BMW M4 Gr.4. The 6-star engine Wheel of Despair gave me a Civic engine (which I didn't already have, but I really want the Escudo engine so I can keep track of its price increases).
 
Since release, I finally reached and bought my 200th car, which happens to be my second Ferrari Daytona...

My collecting level is at 46.

I have done only one mission so far, saving them for later to have fun, as actual breaks when I will have to grind.

I am currently halfway through my International A licenses, Golding them as I work my way to the Super license.

Been pausing my Cafe Menu progress for a month now, stopping at book 36 ot something like that...

I am currently focusing on acquiring cars / collecting my personal favorites, as well as Golding every single events that is currently available, and that I have been ignoring a bit during the 2nd half of 2022...

Will resume Cafe Book probably next week

Overall progress is 49.9%
 
FINALLY!!! I got a clean race bonus on Tokyo. I just need to remember to lay back and find gaps in the pack for the first 4 or 5 laps of the race. Hang out there and pass other cars on the long straight or wait for them to pit. Anyway, now that I know it's possible I will have to give this race more consideration on my nightly grind for credits. Also ran Le Mans and got rained out hard. Laughably finished 3rd in that race since I dont own intermediate tires for my Celica. Oh well.

Got a 6 star roulette ticket. 500k. Not bad but would have been much happier with the GR.1 car or the 1M credit prize.

Hello does anyone know if the collector level will ever go higher then 50 I have reached that level and beyond been playing for 3 months a couple hours a day thank you

Not sure. I have nearly 100k collector points and it's still on level 50. It doesn't really matter in the long run. Those levels were just there to unlock portions of the game. Now that there is nothing left to unlock, there's no need for more levels.
 
Just completed my grind tlfor today in order to buy me the white Lambo 25th anniversary Countach in the UCD.

Correction to my previous post:
I now have 201 cars in my garage, but I bought 117 of them...

I currently have 15 events to Gold in the World Track section.

I will also try to complete and gold all of my circuit experience as my next goal while I resume my Cafe Book adventure.

I will also try to complete and Gold all of my remaining license tests (last 15).

MY estimation is that I can complete all this before April.
(I don't have the luxury to play a lot)


I guess that's my goal achievement in celebration for the 1 year anniversary for GT7.

I probably will not complete the last Cafe Book, saving it to the very last 1% overall game completion, because I heard you cannot meet some of the celebrities once the Cafe closes... (Why would the Cafe closes??! That's stupid.)

I want to be able to take every single car I have to the cafe...

I am a bit of an OcD completionist
