What did you do in GT7 today?

[Chris30]

As i always do a few days after the Time Trail has landed, i fully upgrade the car and smoke the hell out of it, this time on the Alsace test track just because i never drive it, ther NSX doesn't like the down S curve ,

The mother of all B#.... did smoke quite good with over 800 hp ,

That's awesome, how'd you get the car to do that?

I did a few CE's, did a couple custom Gr. 2 races in Autopolis, Suzuka and Tokyo South Clockwise, took some scapes/pictures and are fixing to work on some more of the NSX Daytona Time Challenge. Gonna strive for gold this time!

 

[LeftoverPizza]

Grinding Sardegna, just in case tomorrow's update drops a car I want. Trying to race as clean as possible, just for fun, but always colliding the most 3 idiot AI drivers; Kokubun, Kawakami and Ordonez. Doesn't matter what you do to avoid them, they will find you. Even if you stay behind them, to pass on the main straight, they'll just brake test you mid corner.
Good thing CRB is no issue on Sardegna, but they are a very annoying trio.

 

[snowman_pr]

This morning, I think I broke the Ol' Mule rear axle

 

[kjb]

I did LeMans with one of my A220s got 5k from the wheel. I went to Brand Central to think about whether or not to buy a 2nd Valkyrie before 2/21. I might let it ride since I want to be able to get the cars in the update

I also have a invite that expires on the 2/21 the Lamborghini invite and I also thinking of buying a second Veneno but the one I bought didn't leave a good impression I just found it to be a horrible car to drive its slow and handles like a truck.

I didn't sell the Veneno of course.

 

[kjb]

I actually like the Valkyrie I just don't have anywhere to use it right now. I tried it on Sardegna and it doesn't work for as a 1 stop car. I think I might be able to use it at LeMans though because I have not used it there

I used the Valkyrie at le man you wont get 3 laps on a full tank as I member and it was way slower then the p1 gtr.

Okay thanks for that. so right now no use for it then

It kind of a beast when fully upgraded, 800hp + and sport soft is smoke garanteed 😁🤣

 

[Strax]

Today I wanted to grind some credits to both buy the final Ferrari invitation car (the Enzo) and start to put away some money for the update. Started by taking the FXX K that I had recently bought to Sardegna.



Despite two spins I still managed to win with a two stopper on RM and FM6, really nice car, you do feel the hybrid loss when the battery is depleted but nowhere near as much as in the LaFerrari.

Decided then to try Spa in the R8 LMS Evo that I had rediscovered a while ago, but AI kept on ramming me constantly, which made me nervous and caused me to start making mistakes, so I gave up and decided to hit Le Mans. I had the 918 from the Porsche menu still unused, so I decided to put a Weissach Package livery and tuned it to 700pp. Forgot the car was a hybrid too, what a huge huge disappointment! Battery is depleted by the end of lap one, and the performance of the car drops dramatically, the loss of power in the LaFerrari is completely negligible compared to this. But, the car can still do a one stopper, so I said "meh, I'll win with one less stop"... well, heavy rain hit the track about halfway through the lap right after my pit, and Haywood pitted NINE WHOLE SECONDS faster than me which makes absolutely no sense.

Got angry, closed the game, will now play some Yakuza 0. Wheel of (Mis)fortune went back to normal with 10k.

 

[LeftoverPizza]

Grind grind grind! At the moment, all I care for is payout. So, Sardegna is my second home for a while. I don't mind racing this track over and over again. It's a fun track and I know every inch of it. Can even answer my wife during races and not make mistakes.
When I have a decent stash of credits, I will do other tracks too. Up to 25mln credits now, but want at least another 25mln to feel comfortable.

Got 10K from the 3-star misfortune ticket.

 

[Eggstor]

On the GTP account, I ran Sarthe in one of my Focus Gr.B cars. The no-cash 4-star marathon roulette gave a GT-R NISMO road car engine. While it's not the Escudo engine I really want, it brings me up to 2 of the 4 I absolutely need to complete swaps, plus a fifth in reserve.

On the Plus account, I took the Gr.4 version of the GT by Citroen to Sarthe. Unlike the Gr.3, it's fuel-efficient enough to do the race on the normal 2 stops and fast enough to win in the dry. It was anything but dry, and the car doesn't exactly like rain - I catastrophically hydroplaned 3 times with the track just under 2/3rds full wet on full-wet tires. Still, it was a laugher of a 6-lap win.

The 4-star Wheel of Despair gave the low-showing 10,000 Cr. Even though I have over 21,000,000 Cr., and the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe showed up in Hagerty's, I held off because I'm anticipating needing to blow 7 figures on the new cars tomorrow.

I really liked the Shelby in GTS, but skip on it in GT7. The lack of races to use it in is the main reason. Kinda like with many cars, actually.
If I wanna enjoy those classics, I'll start up GTS and do some classic races in GT League. An option I really miss in GT7.

 

[DextroCat]

Well my evening grind has concluded with the server maintenance currently underway. I bought all 3 of the legend cars that became available today (330 P4, 250 Berlinetta, and the Cobra Daytona Coupe) which was quite costly but with today’s grind I ended up at 62 million credits. All my roulette tickets have been garbage lately and all my invitations have expired as of a few days ago so I’m eagerly waiting any of the invitations that I have yet to receive such as Ferrari, Pagani, Bugatti, or Aston Martin, but given the state of the invitation system I will be lucky to get those in the next 6 months which is nonsense. I really wish we got spins every 20 minutes like FH5. Now that’s how you make an enjoyable roulette feature in a video game, one that enhances the fun experience instead of punishing the players with once a day crap results.

 

[Will Once]

Grand Valley, of course. Went round in the M3, a Cobra and a GT-R. Great fun enjoying the scenery and learning a new circuit.

Bought the update 911 and Citroen DS. Buying the Porsche finished my set and that gave me a second roulette ticket.

The two roulettes gave me a safety car part that I'll probably never use and the Bugatti invitation I've been waiting for. So I bought the invitational Veyron, which completed the Bugatti collection and gave me my third ticket of the day. That threw out a Hellcat engine. That makes for an interesting decision about how to use it. Do I really want to blow it on the jeep?

Maybe, maybe. A decision for another day. In the meantime, I think I'll fire up Grand Valley again.

 

[justin credible]

Missions.....Beyond the Horizon..........second mission.....One Lap Magic.......Nissan GTR vs Skylines and you have to come first by overtaking them all in one lap. I give up I have done it a hundred times and have got the GTR to go like a dream but no matter what you do it is always a split second behind and you finish second.
I started off by hitting walls and all sorts lol Now I can go around without hitting anything absolutely fly around smooth and quick as possible but still second? What am I missing apart from skill lol as many others say it is easy! Well not for me it isn't but I don't know what I am doing wrong?

 

[Gomario JSP]

Golded the circuit experience Grand Valley, was easier than expected, and let my new white Enzo F40 out on GV..... the sound..... the scenery...... life is good

 

[Strax]

Update day! So the first thing I did was buying the DS Pallas and the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 since they were both cheap. Porsche menu 5* Wheel of (Mis)Fortune gave me a miserable 100k, that I immediately put to good use to try out one of the new swaps: the S14A with the C7 Corvette engine.



Fun car, even on FM6 it's hellish fast on Le Mans, despite the heavy rain it was a very easy two-stop win which restored my credit balance a bit. Then, since we got Grand Valley, it was time to drive it! Unfortunately there are no interesting races to be done (with interesting I mean "with a decent payout to sometimes do something new instead of the usual four") so I decided to try myself on the Circuit Experience.



I'm a bad driver and as usual CE reminds me of that. Immediately started with the full lap as usual, was always too slow and really not in control of the car, so I had to give up on my pride and DualSense it. Yea, with the DSense I'm a lot faster due to way better throttle and brake control rather than with the G29's crappy pedals; steering is way worse with the pad, but overall I'm still a lot quicker. And, as I imagined...



I did manage to gold the full lap. Sectors were trivial after that, so I got the 1.2mil from it. Very nice track, it's not the same as the original Grand Valley but the feeling is there, and the scenery is breathtaking. Really wish there was a decent race to do on it.

Daily Wheel of (Mis)Fortune was a 4* ticket that gave me the most useless of prizes, a Citroen invitation.

 

[kjb]

Did LeMans with Mark IV got a 3 star ticket 2 days in a row and got 5k 2 days in a row. To me it seems like every time I get something nice from the roulette I get punished afterwards. I went to the UCD thinking I might empty the bank to get P4 330 nope not enough credits maybe next time since I want to buy 2 of all the new cars in the UCD

 

[Eggstor]

On the GTP account, I bought a third RE Amemiya for future engine purposes and the three new Hagerty's cars (1970 Citroen DS 21 Pallas, 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS and 1965 Honda RA272). With the last 2 purchases, I won a second SF19/Honda, which I off-loaded for a mere 298,290 Cr., and a 5-star Wheel of Despair, which turned into a Honda NSX Gr.4 that I didn't already have on this account.

I then decided to take on Sophy, starting at Tsukuba. The Beginner race was a romp for me, done in 3:14 and a 9.9-second win over Violette. Interestingly, there was a clean race bonus to be had. I barely held off Violette on intermediate with a slower time of 3:22 (with a CRB), and finished 1.1 seconds behind Violette in 2nd on Expert with a time of 3:25 (again with a CRB). I got smoked by Violette in the 1-vs-1 battle by 6.2 seconds.

At Alsace, the Beginner race was another romp (4:16, 17.0-second clean win over Violette). The Intermediate was a nail-biter (4:34, 0.7-second clean win over Violette). The Expert was a 0.2-second clean loss to Violete in 4:34. The 1-vs-1 "battle" wasn't - I lost by 16.8 seconds.

At Trial Mountain, the Beginner race was less of a romp (4:03, 9.3-second clean win over Violette). It took a few aborted runs at Intermediate to get a nail-biter (4:11, 1.2-second unclean win over Violette). I did another couple aborted runs at Expert before taking a 2.2-second clean loss to Violette in 4:15. Again, the 1-vs-1 "battle" wasn't - she smoked me by 18.2 seconds.

At Suzuka, the Beginner race was another romp after relearning the track and car (6:05, 10.4-second clean win over Violette). Once I stopped making rookie mistakes, Intermediate was another romp (6:08, 7.8-second clean win over Violette). I actually held off Violette on Expert (6:19, 0.1-second clean win). She got her revenge in the 1-vs-1 battle by 8.3 seconds.

After all that, the 4-star Wheel of Despair chucked out a lowest-possible 10,000 Cr. Some things never change. One thing that did change was my version of the progression bug - the Monza Hyper Car event (not run clean in the Ferrari FXX K) and the Mount Panorama American Clubman Cup (run uncleanly in a RH-equipped Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, with a punt from the rabbit) finally registered the wins.

On the Plus account, I bought all 5 new cars (the three Hagerty's and the two Italdesign VGTs). I didn't have the McLaren MP4/4, so I only got the 5-star Wheel of Despair, which awarded the middle-showing/lowest-possible 100,000 on an all-cash wheel.

Next, I did the Grand Valley Circuit Experience. The first 2 sectors weren't bad, but the third and full-course gold times were tough nuts to crack. The insulting 4-star Wheel of Despair chucked out a low-showing 30,000 Cr.

I started with the new races, not at Grand Valley, but at Laguna Seca, and the Sunday Cup Classic. After finding the Honda Fit Hybrid too modern and overpowering, and the stock Honda S800 not quite powerful enough, I dug out the Mini-Cooper S I used for the Goodwood Clubman Cup Plus race, put the CH tires back on and took off the custom suspension, custom LSD, power restrictor, ballast and nitrous. That left the sports air filter, sports muffler, sport brake system, sport brake pads, semi-racing clutch/flywhee and weight reduction 1, giving me 295.23 PP, 71 HP@6700 rpm, 59.5 ft-lb@5200 rpm and 1195 lb. Drumont in the Citroen and I were side-by-side from the Corkscrew on lap 2 to the finish line, and I nipped him by 0.069 seconds, finishing not-cleanly in 4:27.885.

I then went back to Grand Valley for the Japanese Clubman Cup 550 in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV I previously tuned for the other Clubman Cup Plus events. I turned the power down a bit to get back to under 550 PP, and barely beat Kondo's R34 to the flag in 5:32, while missing out on the CRB.

Next, I took out the Chevrolet Corvette C4 that I previously built for the earlier Historic Sports Car Masters for the Grand Valley edition of the race. I held off Serrano and his Lamborghini Miura by 1.5 seconds, winning in 7:00. Again, no CRB.

After that, I grabbed the Nissan R32 GT-R that had been doing duty at Tokyo until the easy CRB was taken away for the WTC 600. Again, it wasn't clean, and again, it was too close, but my 10:45 was good enough to beat Blazsan and his 2001 Porsche 911 GT3 to the line by .3 seconds.

The penultimate race was the American Sunday Cup 600, done with the Chevrolet Corvette C7. It was my first clean win, a 5.2-second romp over Solis in the 2002 Dodge Viper, in 6:54.

Finally, I grabbed the Mazda LM55 Gr.1, kept the Suzuka tune on it, and barely won a dirty no-stop (mostly on FM5) Gr.1 Prototype race (16:34, 1.7 seconds ahead of Wilk in the Peugeot L750R HYbrid

 

[LeftoverPizza]

Bought the 3 new LCD cars today. Had a ton of fun driving the RA272 and spent the evening on doing a livery on it and finding a setup for it, so it's not a handfull while racing.
Not done any racing at all, though. Just doing laps with the RA272. Lots of them. What a fun ride!
Completed a few Extra Menu's for engine tickets. Got 2 of those and both gave me the same engine, which I didn't accept. I think it was a Ferrari 458 engine for the Alfa Romeo 4C. I'll wait for the next refresh to try them again.
Wheel of Eternal Despair ticket gave me 10K credits. Whoopie.....

 

[Pulsar-NX]

- Bought the DS and 911 - was too poor for anything else since I only get to play about twice a week.

- Ran the GV vintage race and the American race in my 578pp ‘78 Trans Am.

- Ran the GV Japanese car race in an RX8.

- Decided to save future GV racing for another day, so instead I went and finally won the Tokyo 600 12lapper in an RX7 I put together for the event. Barely.

 

[kjb]

I bought 4 of the 5 new cars. It did some testing with the Italdesign street mode. I got to the 2nd lap and after being almost spun 3 or 4 times I quit and did the Japanese 550 at Grand Valley. I used my Mr2 and won but because I had a bad crash no CRB. I took the GT40 to classic. That race was different because I stayed in 1st gear most of the race. Might need to play with gears for this race. I didn't get to finish as my wife wanted to watch some TV with me. Got a 5 ticket to go with the extra menu 5 star but I didn't open them. Will wait on that

 

[OldandSlow]

Took a chance and bought a BMW M3 to complete the Cafe Extra Menu for an engine ticket and (finally) received a Coyote engine. Bought a Testarossa, tuned it and ran LeMans once. Ran the CE,(Bronze) and the three lower pp races at Grand Valley. Bought the Honda, Carrera, and the DS. Ran one Sophy race at Tsukuba on Beginner. Finally, got my 10k from the wheel.

Heard the last 911 Carrera I needed to complete that extra menu was in Used Cars so when I got home from work I jumped on quick to buy the winged smurf.

Got an Audi racecar on the 5-star roulette spin.

 

[Will Once]

I am alternating a Sardegna money grind with different races and cars around Grand Valley. The A272 was a bundle of laughs in the 600PP race but only came 6th. New car and new track, those are my excuses.

Marathon roulette gave an X-Bow which I already had so sold it for 40k.

I reckon I have two mini goals right now. The driving goal is to get better at grand valley while trying out different cars from my garage. The money goal I think is to grind up to a mclaren MP4 when it comes around. En route I'll look to pick up the Pagani invitation, which is the last invitation I need for a full set.

 

[Gomario JSP]

I started by buying 3 of the new 911's , one to keep stock, one to max out, and one for future swap possibility
Bought the new Honda and DS twice.

Then did the 600PP race at Grand Valley, i thought i would make things interesting by using the porsche Cayman from the GP layout timetrial on sport tires, i must say, i did really needed to push to hunt for the Supra in front, the 911 was all over the place with these corners, but was more fun then i had had in a long time!

Then i ran the race at the South layout, don't remember how it is called, shorter track, little damp in the air, but realy a nice flow on the lap, took out the GTR ( very OP here ) and blasted trhu the tunnels hearing that typical GTR engine

And then took my baby to the paintshop, and let it loose on Grand Valley, maxed out, out of the box without any tuning it is not a easy car to tame, easy on the throttle does it or you are backwards staring at the mountains.
the Enzo engine sounds amazing and driving it at such a scene is nice!

Then took some pictures of it, Swappalicious, my precious...

These are the cars that makes GT so much fun for me, you have to handle them, not just a full pull around a lap, but easy, gentle and try to survive, what exactly would be the case if you drop an enzo engine in a F40

 

[MoLiEG]

Updated the game and bought a Stratos afterwards. Not much has been done for the past week tbh. Real life has been veeery time consuming lately.

 

[TechnoIsLove]

Finished work and I don't think will be turning PS5 off for many, many hours 🤣

Tried and golded Grand Valley Highway, which I like even though it's not exactly Speedway.

Beat Sophy in all Tsukuba races and love the new AI for the Violette version! Doesn't feel like AI at all and is how it should've been all along!

Got an early birthday gift from PD, which was a nice surprise and now will try more Sophy races and Sport Mode as usual 🙂

 

[FOG-Smokebeer]

Booted it up after months did one race at the new valley and turned it off then put the cover back over the ps5
