The top speed is around +-200KM/H, you can adjust the gearbox to 220, I then tried the manual adjustment to go to 240, but i couldn't get it much faster than 200. There is a light on the front, the races were only 5 laps so i didn't have to refuel.What's the top speed of the kart on the straight? And does it have headlights (or a headlamp on the helmet)
Endurance racing in a kart is something I haven't done yet.
Although I read you can't re-fuel it?

History , the original GT40 MK1 was put together in Slough UK , yes it had issues with gearboxes ( mostly leaving the internal parts outide the engine ) also had aerodynamic issues at high speed were the front of the car would lift ( hey cool so good on front tire wear then ) at high speed and a few other niggly problems .
Carroll Shelby was called in to sort the car out and with the help of Ford a lot of Engineers after a certain company in Italy had ****** off Henry Ford so much so he more or less gave a unlimted budget to " Go Like Hell "
Whilst the movie does give some insight and certainly brings into light Ken Miles it doesn't really tell how this unasuming man really put his heart and sole into this project .
By the simple fact " The Company " wanted a PR Scoop and a photo finish , he was robbed of the chance to Win 1966 Le Mans
Ken would be later on be killed whilst testing the GT40 J-Car later on to be the GT40 MK II .
This Car you see here which was made for Ken for GT 7 ( not by me I hasten to add ) is a fitting tribute , i'm so happy to see soemone else holds Ken in high regard as I do .
p:s the Movie was Ok but seriouly read the book of the same title , you know it's called " Go Like Hell " it's rather epic .
Why did I post this ?
Well in less than 3 Weeks I have to park my Car in Slough UK as i'm going to fly over to the USA to have 12 days of meeting friends oh and a weekend of watching racing at a track , well ok 3 races and a week of camping infield drinking weird moonshine cocktails . so I maybe drunk ............ rather a lot
SetUp
B.bbbbb..u...ttttt you said you wouldn't buy another car , you lied to me .
" Yes dear , its a 1966 GT 40 MK 1 "
They handle like **** and you promised me a Porsche 962
" I know , I resisted the temptation to buy it but "
So you bought this turd of a car that has no adjustable suspension and crap stock tires for 5.6 Million CR , i'm divorcing you , your a idiot .
" hmmm ok as long as I can keep the dog and the Car , did I mention , I have over 125 Cars in my current garage and have not found any other car that can brake at the 100mtr mark on the back straight before the chicane at the Daytona infield track and still over or undertake any other car ? anyhow blame PD for charging 5.6Million CR for a <ahem> Race car with no adjustable suspension and **** tires and brakes "
so your saying it's special then ?

Debating whether I should splurge on the Ferrari or keep my credits in case GR.C shows up :/
I did my longest endurance race so far last Saturday. 8 hours, 4 rain storms, full day/night cycle
Yeah that's 132K for a win against pro AI....
I didn't win, the AI negated my pit strategy, making up the 40 sec it fell behind in half a lap. Then it clung to my bumper for the lat 2.5 laps despite me setting my fastest laps at the end. The way to win is to let the AI pass so it loses its boost after half a minute. The way not to win is to try to stay ahead. The AI keeps its boost and any small mistake (which I did at the end) is fatal. Pit strategy is pointless, just pit and go flat out to the end since the AI will wait for you to catch up if they are ahead...
Anyway, despite the AI being massive bellends throughout the race, the procession through all the changes in weather during a full day night cycle was amazing. Here's the 'abbreviated' video (still 56 minutes lol) with all interactions with the AI
After the race my oil was worn, probably affected the engine performance as well. 1,431 km total for the race, 57 laps.
The results
Pretty much the same spread as after a 3H race. The AI isn't allowed to fall further back and back markers get massive boosts to pass you again while still under blue flag.
Oh, and night racing is so much easier on a HDR screen. I did this race on a 1080p projector. Maximum immersion, but hard to see during the long long night. Last night I did a 3h run on HDR tv and the difference was night and day. I could see the track just as well during the night as during the day.

Finally did the 30 minutes high speed ring and the Bathurst group 3 missions. Only the 24 minutes of le mans left and then I'm fully out of new events to complete.
Hopefully the early April update is on April 1st so I have fresh events to complete.
Also patently waiting for the used car and legend dealerships to get some new cars in ...

Back and forth between Trial Mtn Cup and WTC700 for the credit grind. $425k altogether but definitely a slow grind. Trying to get together enough to buy most of the Gr.4 lineup. So far have the WRX, Atenza, C7 and Megane and they're all excellent.

Took part in some daily races A and won two of them. Man, these are wild. 🤣 Besides that, I did the first moby dick mission. I also wanted to do the second one (30 laps at Tsukuba) but I need to figure out what car to use as my cars seem to be too slow, especially when it starts raining.

Got the Hachi-roku from the used dealer, tuned it a bit and applied the Initial D livery, as one should. Drove it around a bit, it's great fun, might tune it up further and make it into a drifting machine.
Also did the Pan Asian Blue Moon race a couple of times, thinking I'd be grinding for some credits. I then stopped after realizing that we'll be getting new events soon with (hopefully) larger payouts. I might take a bit of a break from GT7, at least until a new content update comes out.

Raced the WGT to get 400k, "won" a five star that gave me 500k so I raced Trial Mountain to fill up to 1mill.
Not bad but I need to keep my fingers off those overpriced oldies

I just want to say, keep posting these!
Bought three cars yesterday: Aventador SV, Murcielago, and C7 ZR1
The Murci' is a blast. It drives so well, it surprised me. She's a fatty, but do a couple weight reductions and put some racing tires on and she's great.
The C7 ZR1 is a BEAST! With some 'bolt on' mods and RS tires was easily hitting 215 on the back straight of Daytona.

I'm hearing Phil Collins in my head now. Just needs a Pinto with a black Daytona kit on it to complete the picture.Got mine sorted too. Not sure which white is authentic, but Bianco Cervino looks fresh! 😎
(I haven't gone full Miami Vice, but specs tend to evolve after I've driven them a bit!)

Doing my daily miles. Started grinding for the Ferrari GTO last night and bought the Skyline 2000. Honestly probably going to set up the afk to do that for me while at work as the grinding feels pretty joyless. I really hope they do something worthwhile about the progression soon.

Taking a break from Single Player until rewards are fixed... Finally getting my teeth into proper online racing in Sport Mode (only done road car races up until now).
Race B, and proving to myself consistency is key. Going up the grid in every race despite not actually performing any overtakes in the non-meta GR Supra

Grinded some more PAN American Championships, (only the first race for the Cr.52.500.) WTC600 and 700. Got my daily 5000 credits from a 3 star roulette. (You love to see it.) 
And took a picture for this thread.

Late last night early this morning I bought the OG SKyline and I convinced self to get the Testarossa. Raised the hp on gr86 to 302. Finished the Nissan collection. I also found out I can't change the rims on the Living Legend. I still have like 600K cr left that I am saving to get a Gr4 for those races later on. If I play today I might snag an AE86. I still waiting for the MR2 I hope it shows up soon

Two days ago did the daily truck grind around Daytona 11 times. Then did the Deep Valley WTC700, took a couple of tries to get first.
Did the Red Bull Ring WTC700 but the rain messed it up pretty badly. Rain starts, switch to intermediate rain tires, then rain stops and the tires wear out. Only made 10th. Never doing that one again...
Then bought, and quoting Talon,
Yesterday I did 11 laps of Daytona grind, then made the Ferrari F430 into a 729PP Gr.3 car and spent all day making a livery for it since nothing in the showcase pleased me. At least nothing that fit a wide body mod. Took a few tries to be happy with it. Took it to Deep Valley, and it beat everything with a new record time. Didn't need much tuning at all, but I'm looking forward to Praiano's tunes for many many cars.

Which it very much is. Made it into a 699PP Gr.3 car with a pilfered livery for now, and it beat everything I tried on the Deep Forest Time Trial board.
