Other than that , another group of gr3-4 bought today ( 5 of them ) and back from the beginning tomorrow

Had an UH Speed turbo and a Stage 5 weight reduction for a ‘17 Nismo GT-R. I bought one, tuned it and ran LeMans once. Got 10k from the wheel.
 
On the Plus account, I put the Ford Mark IV I picked up yesterday right to work at Sarthe. The 4-star marathon ticket gave a propshaft.

On the GTP account, I ground Sarthe with the older Nissan GT-R GT3. The (what else) 3-star Wheel of Despair puked out the low-showing 10,000 Cr., leaving me short of cash for the next VGT.

I did a few laps around Laguna Seca, not getting particularly close to a silver time.

Ran a few daily races, pulled a 2nd place in race A (8 started, 5 finished), a 5th and 7th in race B, and a 5th and 12th in race C. Overall race A is useless (a DR B driver won by 5 seconds), race B were both close racing (and fun too), race C were both divided races. 1st race C had a pack of 4 in front of me and I think 10 behind. I waited until lap 7 to pit for tires and this is where the packs split with me running the last 2-3 laps solo. Good finish so I was pleased. Race 2 was going about the same but on lap 7 I received a 1.5 second penalty for missing track limits while avoiding a wreck (still do not understand what I could have done other than smash into the 2 drivers wrecking). This took me to 12th where I finished the race. Overall good day racing online - who knew that was possible).
 
I did another WTC700 race at Le Sarthe to put me within touching distance of the Aston Martin Valkyrie (and the 6* ticket for completing the AM Menu Book). There was some very brief rain, but managed to complete the whole race on RS tyres for once...

After the race, I came up just 25,000 Cr. shy of 4 million Cr., hoping that the Daily Marathon ticket would oblige and give me 30,000 Cr. or better - it didn't. 4* got me a semi-racing silencer for the MC20 :ouch:

So I did the Northern Isle Speedway CE; 150,000 Cr. for 20 seconds work, has to be some of the easiest money in the game - pity it is not grindable; I reckon if you could do it twice a minute for an hour, that would get you 18 million Cr. per hour :lol:

Took a swapped A110 to LeMans. Started raining lightly on lap 2. I pitted on lap 3 it was still raining but not enough to switch to wets. Towards the end of lap 3 it turned to a monsoon so I had to slow down and cranked the TC up to 5. Made to pits and switched to wets for the last two laps. The rain stopped after lap 5. Got a ⭐⭐⭐🎟️ which I am going to wait to open
 
Today a question came up I normally grind 10M credits a day outside that time I grinded 100M in 5 days.

10M a day is my normally target.

So my question what's your credit grind target for a day?:)

I don't do daily targets - I only aim for certain cars I want or need i.e. for a custom race grid that I am making.

Not having a target means I don't feel too bad about failing to grind, and to allow me to play non-grinding aspects of the game, e.g. photomode, custom races, and Sport mode.

I also have something of a practical limit - I won't do more than 300 miles in a day, and even that is pushing the limits of what is comfortable for my hands. I used to suffer quite badly from tendonitis in my thumbs and have to be careful not to over-do manual activities.

That said, 2x LM WTC700 (for 1.65 million Cr. ) or 1x Spa WTC800 for (1.5 million Cr.) is normally my limit, plus the daily ticket, but 50% of days I don't do any grind races.

Depends what kind Of cars I want to build for a series. I calculate car + parts = XCr.
XCr. x #Cars = Cr.Target

I mainly build low cost cars. So, a grid cost can range from 1.5Mil to 6mil. Also depends how long a car in UCD and/or LCD are available. Stretch out the grind over days or “get ‘er done!” before the Sold Out day.

Depending on the day, 727,500 Cr. and 825,000 Cr. for each of the two accounts.

Today was the shorter day. On the GTP account, I ran Sardegna with the Pagani Zonda R. The 4-star Wheel of Despair spat out carbon brakes for a car that already has racing brakes and is hidden behind an invitation so I can't really get even 2,100 Cr. for it. Speaking of that brand, I did get enough cash to get the Aston Martin DP-100 VGT.

On the Plus account, I used the McLaren P1 GTR for the first time. It is a tale of two cars depending on the hybrid charge. The 4-star Wheel of Despair gave the low-showing 30,000 Cr.
 
Thanks for the reply everyone.👍 I love that we all play the game so differently I Personally love to grind for credits and making it to 100M so I can do my SSS ( Super Shopping Spree) Since I love buying cars and owning as any as I can.:)

I usually go for 5 million credits each night unless I set aside a day off work as a grind day then I’ll do up to 12 million credits but that’s maybe once a week. I’ve done 50 million in a week but nowhere close to what you’re capable of.

Probably about 200-300k between doing two of that American race at high Speed Ring and one Hypercar Parade at Trial Mountain. I'm always in the poorhouse, since when I do get credits I spend most of them on buying and tuning cars that have a high chance of being sold the following day after purchase anyway. My cars bought stat is almost at 1,700. Anyway, I just don't like the concept of grinding. I play to have fun and I don't find, as Kaz puts it, mechanically repeating the same races over and over, to be fun. Especially if they're races I can't cheese my way through with an OP car for guaranteed bank.
 
On the Plus account, I ground Sarthe with the Alfa Romeo 155. The (you guessed it) 3-star Wheel of Despair (1st of 3 on this account this month, and pending the GTP run, 2nd of 5) pushed out a racing muffler that I didn't already have.

On the GTP account, I bought some race tires (hard/intermediate/wet) for the older, non-race-car Alpine VGT, found I had to turn the power down to 84 to get it back under 700 PP (thankfully, a full-custom computer came stock), and took it to Sarthe. After setting FM to 2 to make it 4 laps on fuel, I came within a damp track on lap 5 of getting 7 complete laps in under 30 minutes, as I just cleared the Ford chicane as time expired. Maybe if the drivetrain weren't so loose that the revs aren't smooth, it would have gone 8 laps.

The 2nd 3-star Wheel of Despair of the month on this account (making 3 of 6 between the two) puked out the lowest-possible 5,000 Cr. Still, I had enough to get the Audi e-tron VGT. That took me over 600,000 collector points.

I'm having trouble with Sector 5 at the Sarthe, now that you mentioned it. I think the gold/silver times are harsh/rough. The best I can do is about 42 seconds. So I am not driving quick enough. I haven't tried the event where 550k is the 1st place prize. I heard that the rain mucks the race up and can cause accidents.
 
During the weekend, i managed to need less than 100 cars to reach 478 .
Still have some cars to buy from gr3-4 group at the price range between 350k & 450k .
Am at 97 now which means that maybe its enough 100 millions to buy them all except the 4 missing 20 million " brides " from LCD .
I have many VGT's cost one million and some others with 2-3 millions but not many of them.
To add some variety, i use some from the cars i get to run at la sarthe at stock form buying only Intermediate tyres and evaluating their fuel consumption and how easy or difficult are with stock settings.
If LCD helps i might clear soon the gr3-4 cars .

Other than that I just wonder where is @Pesselles ?
I think is missing lately and hope everything to be ok.

Have a good week guys , mine will be a bit difficult at work due to bad weather that we expecting for 3-4 days .
 
Bought the beige 356A Coupe and then went on to make a bunch of custom race presets for each track that are basically just me against a slow Abarth 500 SS. Did this as a way to effectively time trial with credit payout and music like it was in GT Sport, since the single player time trial in GT7 is broken.

My only gripe doing this is that to change car I have to back out of the menu and select one of the preset career races and 'change car' that way. PD can never make anything easy it seems.

Today I decided to take a break. This past weekend I did two 6am runs, summary is:

@Single player: I raced the Alsace champ without much practice because it's a complex track and I got impatient. That meant P2+P3 good for bronze, a Corvette and unlocking missions.

I jumped into missions and golded everything but the oval track and Tokyo. I got bored of getting hit by other cars. Enough for a Sambabus and unlocking menu 13.

I think I'll try to gold everything I haven't so far before moving to menu 13.

@Sport mode: I bronzed the movie event. Silver and gold are 4-5 sec away so I don't think I'll manage to score those, but 250$$$ is nice.
 
Yesterday was fun, got back into GT7 after a few days off and it was quite refreshing. I did the new online trial with the Corvette C8 at Laguna Seca and it seems as thought the car feels very understeeerry on the corners. Need more time to get my brakign zones right again at Laguna Seca as they shift with each car I drive there on that track.

I bought the oldy FORD GT40 67 Race car, becuase race car. hehe a cool 6mil gone there.

Then I opened the two gifts tokens which came in very late I think, the GR010 HYbrid and the Corolla MIRIZIO edition. Th elatter being awesome and a nice rally drift car. The other I sold as I already had one during before the Olympics time trials.

Unlocked a a 6star roulette ticket only to get a car I bloomin already have, the LEXUS RC500 GT3'16 race car, sold that and use money for the GT40.

Get back into the swing this week with more Races and TT's.
 
Raced the Super Formula race at Watkins Glenn in VR this morning.

First time in my low budget rig (first time wheel user here) and it was AMAZING.

For all the things GT7 gets wrong, the fundamentals are unbeatable.

I can´t get an experience like this (in VR no less) anywhere else.
 
Today I.

Returned to Tokyo and Sardegna for my daily 10M credit target grind that's done now up to 80M so I'm in the home stretch to 100M.:embarrassed:

Other then that not much else.

Also got a 4* ticket stuff and a groundbreaking 30K.:lol:
