What did you do in GT7 today?

[kjb]

Please do me a favour mate .
Next times you run at La Sarthe, make a note when rain comes and the type of rain.
I have observe that about a week or so before updates, heavy rain hits the track and last significant longer than usual.
Just want to confirm that since am running this race almost every day at least one time .

I can do that. Recently it has been coming usually at the end of lap 2. And it usually lasts until lap 4 or 5.

Good idea and I'll try to note that too, for your data

Nothing, apparently...

I started another 3-hr enduro in the middle of the night last night, as I've got a chest infection and can't get back to sleep if I wake up (which I have every night this week ), so I went to play GT at 3am... I paused it and then continued the race at lunch time today, and I even started writing a report about it here:

Spoiler

I started another 3-hr GT3/GTWC enduro at the Nurburgring, this time with 2x fuel/tyre wear, and it started really well... but it remains to be seen if it will turn out to be a good race.

The fuel lasted 22 laps in the first session, and took almost exactly 45 minutes - so I figured that the race will be 88 laps, and an almost perfect 3-stop strategy for the AMG. However, once again one leaves the pits with less range (20 laps) than from the start of the race (22 laps). So, I switched from FM1 to FM6 for laps or so, to put myself back into the Lap 44 pit window, and that seemed to work fine. But... there's a bit of a problem.

The first quarter of the race (22 laps), the purple time was set by me at 1:59.1xx - second quarter, I was still fastest until I dropped to FM6 and lost the lead, but I stayed with the two AI cars (also AMGs), figuring that I would pass them again shortly as I was able to return up to FM1... but no - the AI went into beast mode and disappeared up the road, taking a massive 20s lead in just 6-7 laps, and was hitting 1:55s - 4 seconds a lap faster than me

I will have to look back at the replay once the race is done, as it's possible that they switched to Medium tyres, but that doesn't explain why they were slower than me for the first half of the second quarter of the race. The change in pace between laps 33 and 44 was astonishing and disconcerting... I've seen rubber banding allow the AI to catch the leader, but I've never seen it propel the lead AI so far up the road before...

I thought GT7 was running in the background as I switched to watch TV on my PS4, but when I went to resume the race, GT7 restarted and I lost all progress - all 44 laps/135 miles of it I don't know if I accidentally restarted the game or what, but my stats tell me I've done 0.0 miles today. My thumbs are still a bit sore so I'm pretty sure I didn't dream the whole thing...

 

[MoLiEG]

Oh well I hope you get well soon. I'm recovering from ACL surgery. Reconstruction of ligament on the right knee with some bone drilling 😬. Now I'm learning how to walk again 😀

Ohhh my. Get well soon mate. Sending many many good vibes for a speedy recovery, too.

So far, I've done the usual Sardegna grind race. If I feel alright, I'll do a 2nd one later with the SLS GT3 I bought today.

 

[NW_Saint]

And awayyyy we go with the trusty PS4/DS combo.. 10 in a row with my Enzo @ TM/HCP from Sunday night to Monday night.. meant to do it all on Sunday, but the BBQ and adult beverages put a stick in my spokes (also, apologies for the delay in the post).. regardless, I'd been running in the mid/low 1:50's per lap & around 9:30 per race.. BUT for whatever reason this car just seems to be getting faster.. just passed 2200 total miles & it's turning out to be like fine wine, just getting better as it ages.. amazing car.. So I won't bore you with anything outside of the top 3 per race, but here's how it went down..

.. those last 3 races were absolute shockers, guess I just got comfortable and loose, cuz i'm tellin' ya, mid 9:20's was my standard/best.. & out of those 3 two were CRB's, and the one I lost was kinda' my fault, scuffed the veneno in lap 2 .. smh.. they gotta fix that..



.. if it weren't for that banger @ 1:33.. smh.. no worries tho', the rest of the race that car was shot out of a cannon!

Anyways, was definitely a kick-ass in 24 hours.. Needless to say, I love my vitamin-E, it is one bad (ex·ple·tive).. LoL.. have a great night/day racing gentlemen!

PS: oh, I almost forgot, not sure how or from what ticket, but I picked this up along the way..

.. ok, that's all, nighty night!

NW.

Slammed my A80 Supra. Fitted it with BBS RS and painted the centres gold.
Bought five Civic Touring Cars. Waiting for the EVo III and IV to return for some Super Touring fun.

1. Banked Cr. 1.000.000 from Spa Francorchamps TT 🥈 Very happy with this silver reward as I couldn't expect the yellow one.

• Gold medals: 5
• Silver medals: 4
• Bronze medals: 4

2. Golded High Speed Ring TT - thanks to @Tidgney 's ghost - with the Mazda LM55 VGT with a decent 55.689 🥰 To be very honest, I've practicing this circuit with this car yesterday to be more comfortable today. And as usual, working is the best way to success.

EDIT: PB improved at 55.645

3. Gained only few hundreds on High Speed Ring CE with a new PB at 1:04.471 - Still in silver, still +0.200 from gold and far away from the 👽 @Evilmuffin and @GlockPants ...

4. ⭐⭐⭐⭐: parts for the Porsche Cayman GT4 (worth Cr. 23.000)

 

[kjb]

I took the 25th Anniversary Edition Red Bull to Sardegna. I had a blast in that car as I hadn't used it in a long time. Next I took the Aston Martin VGT to LeMans where since it was the beginning of the month there was no rain at all. @smoothbore12 I think you're on to something. Got a Hyundai GR3 car that I think I can use at LeMans and Sardegna.

I'm not sure how Alien I am, but I had Silver at the Spa TT, too!

We'll see at the new TT at the HSR if I can carry over the speed I had in the CE. I was honestly pushed to go beyond just getting gold there seeing you and @Evilmuffin on the leaderboard. My time was a hair faster than the demo ghost, but I'm certain I'm no where near the top 10 stars that are tracked.

Yeah, we are both on silver at Spa but your score on HSR CE is just... ASTRONOMICAL You deserve my full respect! Can't wait to see your score on the TT with the Mazda

When I see you, EvilMuffin or any other pro drivers in the leaderboard of any CE, I have the same motivation to push far beyond !

 

[Evilmuffin]

@Pesselles @GlockPants

I guess we all had the same idea with HSR.....need a break from BMB anyways. I actually had a bit of hard time with that track for some reason. Never seemed to get the last corner right for some reason. After that....I decided to redo some S license tests 🤣

Ok now, I know why I have this curious feeling to be watched and followed everywhere and any time

Same issue with this damned final corner for some (same?) reason. If you haven't yet watched, I strongly recommend Tidgney video on the HSR TT.

The last sector was for sure the most difficult to figure out IMO.

I never realized how much faster the high line was on that turn.

 

[GT5 Level 41]

Collected my 250K TT bronze ticket (thats what I call them) and set my time for another one in two weeks. Wheel of Grief spit out a computer.

Thanks mate, also i saw no rain yesterday at one race and the second was so light that no harm done.

 

[Pesselles]

Let's help @smoothbore12 our Greek scientist with the data collected during the daily grind at Le Mans.

Very heavy rain (green and yellow clouds on the radar) started at the end of the 2nd lap and stopped before the 4th.
Another rainy moment during the 5th lap.

 

[GT5 Level 41]

Ran Spa 800 for the first time today. I never wanted to commit for a whole hour so I ignored it. It wasn't bad, just probably not something I'll do again soon. CLK was an easy winner even with a pit mistake on the second rain event.

I love grinding at Spa with the Toyota TS030 because on FM6, this car doesn't need to refuel AT ALL. Yes, 25 laps without pitting (except for rain tyres).

 

[Eggstor]

On the Plus account, I grabbed the newer Mercedes-AMG GT3, set the fuel map to 2 so I didn't have to worry about trying to save fuel, and went to town. Two fuel stops, a tire change, and 26:32 later, I came away with a very easy win, made easier by Fraga first pitting on lap 4.

The second workout roulette of the month was an engine ticket, pushing out my second Camaro ZL1 engine.

On the GTP account, I took my 250,000 Cr. for the wet Spa time trial, then took a rented Mazda around High Speed Ring in 54.406, which should be good enough for silver. After that, I took the Lamborghini Huracan GT3 for a jaw-dropping 26:19 run around Sardegna and collected a Lamborghini invite from the 4-star Wheel of Despair. With the cash, I bought the Lexus SC430 GT500 and the RUF CTR3, the last 2 cars under 1,000,000 Cr. I didn't already have.

Thanks mate, my two runs was one dry and second one " almost" dry .
I was surprised that didn't face heavy rain but on the other hand,that helps me to test my newer settings at my 787 on race trim.
Also i got my fourth 4* in a row for this week.

 

[NW_Saint]

Also i got my fourth 4* in a row for this week.

Handing'm out like candy .. & then some.. but the value still has a bit to be desired..

10K for a Snickers bar.. I mean really..

Better the 4-star than the 3-star variety which I had more than my share of on the Plus account through June and on the GTP account last and this month. Speaking of the Plus account, the candy machine pretty much shifted to engine tickets last month, and that continued this month, but the engines were of low quality.

 

[shadow0460]

The usual, Spa 1 hour, 2 million credits total between it and the roulette. I did it with my green RX7, two stops, great weather for the race.

 

[PGodia10]

I got all gold in the National B license. All aids off (ABS default). Working my way slowly but surely.

 

[Pesselles]

1. Finally, I've golded High Speed Ring CE with the Zonda with a decent human score

2. Went to le Mans for the Weather Researches requested by my friend, the great scientist @smoothbore12 Light rain at lap 3 but no reason to pit, my GT-R was still fast and driveable. The 4th lap was dry but the 5th wasn't driveable without intermediate tyres.

3. ⭐⭐⭐: Cr. 10.000 😓

 

[kjb]

First I took the Genesis Gr 3 to LeMans ran it at FM6 but it was very slow so I quit and made some gear adjustments. Restarted the race it was much quicker but I still need to tweak the handling. So I grabbed 2016 GTR race car to LeMans. The ballast I used made the car feel heavy and sluggish but I was able to win easily. Rained threatened to fall but never did. Got 30k from a 4 ⭐🎫

 

[Owen.C93]

Got gold on the Nurburgring circuit experience. It was so tricky to keep on the road, especially the first few sectors.

I think that just leaves a few more Tokyo Expressway layouts and then the rally ones to get gold in everything.

 

[TonyLomas]

Did the high speed time trial and seem stuck on about 5.1% again. Sometimes I'd rather be on 9% than nearly 5%. It's annoying because I know it's only down to my inaccurate driving. Oh well, back to the old mantra, practice, practice practice!
