It shows it on the Profile stats page on the GT website or the top left corner from the map in-game. Under the World Circuits section with the Drift score.
Thanks ! Should be in the game with easy ways to know which tracks you've done (progression bronze/gold)

You can see your progression on your profile in the game and the GTOffical website. This is yours in attached.
ah ? where in game ?

most days in gt7 nowadays are spent doing the new event races for credits. some tokyo, some le mans, and some sardegna. at least it's better variety than just fisherman's ranch from the first patch, or leaving the tomohawk wall grinding with a the remote play app post 1.7, but still

the daily races in the sport mode are ridiculously boring, and the championship races occur too often and are a test season (read: beta test version) to get a good amount of practice to take them seriously enough, and losing recently gained A+ from not getting enough practice is not appealing
 
Got a nice 5 second penalty for forcing another driver off track during daily race A.

Only problem was I was already off track at the time of contact, because the pleb pushed me off track and managed to spin himself out in the process.
Thats the one with the GTO '92 on crap tires right?

Same thing happened to me.
Guy was swerving under braking(most likely to scrub speed) he swerves into me and gets punted, I get punished and to make it worse the punishment area is in a stupid spot
5sec punishment = 20 seconds due to the length of straight.
 
Debauchery.

The beast is only at 560pp. I refined the setup on Dragon Trail so I might be able to improve my results on the first two rounds and win the championship with another go.

Aside from that, I finally got around to importing and touching up one of my favorite livery creations from GTS. All the decal data carried over perfectly so all I had to do was replace the numbering (the racing numbers moved slightly) and change the projection method for one Michelin logos to make it work on the wide body variant:

I have completed the cafe menus last one 39 the Championship World GT series ... got 1st over all with winning the first 4 races so happy with that, had the 3 card pick and managed to get the Pagani Huarya 13.
Bit stuck now as I have done all I can on the licences they are never going to improve, done the cafe menus and got the ending subtitles, The missions are so silly and boring I have no interest in them and I don't race online against others as I am useless and just get in their way and end up last...
So a bit lost at what to do next? I will have to go exploring and see what else there is. God I still miss Driveclub.
Congratulations on the world series win.
Today I won that championship in a Mazda RX-7 with the engine from a 787b!

I really enjoyed some missions, but did find some of them annoying or worse. Worth a look through the list.

More races should have unlocked for you. I really enjoy picking a car from the garage that I haven't driven, taking it stock to suitable races. Then, if I like it, working it up through the ranks to as high as it can go. The Lexus LC500 has probably been the biggest surprise, going all the way to WTC800 and winning them very enjoyably.

Cheers and well done to you too. I used the Audi R8 LMS Evo 19 with a turbo slapped on it and some racing softs, I must have won it somewhere down the line as I know I didn't buy it.
I am going to have a look at the circuit experiences, I did a couple when doing the cafe menus and they were a laugh iirc.
But just grabbing a car and going for a drive sounds fun too.
Nice one.
 
Just finished the 30min race at High Speed Ring where tire wear would be high & multiple pitstops too.

Took my trusted Beetle Gr3 car. Started on the RS tires. By lap 3, it started to rain. The weather remained constant til about 5 minutes were left. At this time, my first pit stop was for RW & then the next pit stop again for RW. In the last pitstop around 5 or 6 minutes to go when the weather was clearing with a drying racing line, I went for RI.

I was surprised to win as in the start the Viper Gr3 car was faster than my car. I had to pit every 6 laps. It was surely a suspense filled race as I was in the second half in a podium position. Got lucky with the weather or the VIper car was more thirsty.

Only downfall was that for running a 30 minute heart-pounding race & also about thinking which tires to go for next, the reward is a meager 10,000 cr.
 
Did LeMans in the Red Bull Jr car. Got caught out in the rain half a lap in while on slicks. That was painful. Almost a seven minute lap haha. Thankfully, so did the AI so I still won.

Golded the Barcelona CE. That one was challenging. S1 took maybe three tries; S2 maybe eight; S3 probably 20; Full lap took one. This game is weird sometimes, but I guess it makes sense that on the full lap you can make up time in S1 and lose it in S3 but still get gold.

Then bought the 787B and R92!!! YES! Didn't buy the Jag... yet. I will before it's gone, though.
I couldn't stay away, went back for the Jag and took all three to LeMans for a couple hot laps. They're at home there!

Also did the Honda Beat Mission challenge and got second by three seconds. Blah! I couldn't understand it as I modified that little car up to the 400PP limit... weight savings, some added hp, brakes, suspension, etc. I was getting WALKED on the straights. I did a one stop as I knew it would be my only chance; leaders pit at ~20 min mark and still came out ahead of me. Oh well. Boring race, won't be doing it again for gold since it's just not worth it, epsecially if I finish second again.
 
After that I played the real life game of 'fix the pedals' as my break started feathering by itself.
My G29 brake pedal did that to me, and I decided to jump ship to Fanatec - a pretty expensive jump for a DD Pro! But I figured German engineering would serve me much better.

So yesterday I finally had it with my "self braking" G29 and unboxed the DD Pro - I evidently got one of the last ones in stock! - and wallowed through the building instructions. Big, super heavy, and the wheel sticks out at too low an angle to suit me, but it's not bad, excellent build quality. Messed up where I plugged in the wheel cable to the pedal for an hour, DOH. Finally got it sorted, though I might have to redo the firmware because it didn't have the pedal plugged in right. I'm not sure it's calibrating properly, but it works.

I had to relearn how to race with it, because it behaves a lot differently than the Logitechs I grew up with. In some ways it's harder to use, in some, easier. Finding the racing line around curves will take some practice, but amazingly the chicanes at LeMans are a breeze, go figure. That took up most of the day. The brake throw is so long, I might try learning how to wean off of ACS. Raced around LeMans for 3 million so I could afford stuff, and bought:
  • 2x Ferrari 512 BB - one in the morning pre-wheel adventure
  • Ferrari Dino 246 GT
  • Dodge Super Bee
  • 3x De Tomaso Pantera '71
  • 2x Alpine A220 Race Car
  • Renault R8 Gordini
  • Toyota 2000GT
So now I have to replenish the bank account with some LeMans racing so I can race mod up some more GT5s. Woops, and 11 mill so I can get those legendary LM race cars...

I started the Porsche Cup. I started with 992 '02 on SPa and it spin out bad. So instead of tuning it a bit I decided to use the Living Legend so I detuned it and got it 649.72 PP and used it at Spa I came in 3rd because the Comfort Softs slid just a little too much in the rain. I went back to the 992 for Maggiore and came in 3rd because it slid just a wee bit too much. So before I went to sleep I added some ballast and set the power restrictor to 98% to allow me to run race hards for the Ring. I had won a Supra engine from the roulette and I just so happened to buy S15 R '02 so I dropped the Supra engine in that so I think when I play again I am going to turn that into Gr4 monster

When a bit directionless, I sometimes have a look at the tuning parts I have in the garage already. Recently I bought the new NSX just because I had a stage 5 lightweight for it. I really enjoyed that for all the assorted events it fit into as I gradually added more bits.
 
Started the circuit circuit experience and got a few completed golds, then on to Laguna seca the second sector wow it is one of those which confuses you no matter what you do it is 23.300 for gold and you always get 23.412 or 23.329 I have just carried a 2mph increase through the first bend and kept line thought I had nailed it crossed the line 24.237?? Ok did it again and 23.818?? again 23.409? It is one of those you just keep doing and ignoring the times until gold pops up, pointless trying to adjust TC, turn off ASM as that slows you a lot, TC 1 makes no difference to TC 5 .
But end of the day it is a viper you have to use which like all american cars hates bends so it is a case of persevering and ignoring the fact you can do one go perfect and get a second over time then do another and have a twitch and do .0100 over it don't make sense just keeping on plodding lol. I am enjoying it as it is like bingo you never know what time is going to pop up next lol.

I let my 8 year old son spin the gift for me I had in my garage and he got me 1 million credits a big pile of gold bars! get in, he can do it in future as I usually get the worse one going lol.


EDIT: I gave up it is pointless just continue going again and again and again the car will not go around any quicker without sliding it is at it's limits, still a fraction off gold so scrapped it off as another pointless quest. It is hard enough to get 23.399 so why they don't just make gold 23.400 and have done then move on in the game I don't know, I have never understood how the makers come up with these gold times to me it looks like they are using a professional f1 driver to set them. pointless to hard. I am not a professional. I am a dude looking for a bit of fun.
Moving on to Autodromo de Interlagos see how I go on here lol.


EDIT AGAIN: saves me doing another post!!!!
I have realised something on this game, the steering on the high performance 700pp+ super gt cars like the skyline race model and the Audi LMS R8 etc the steering is rubbish, think about it we have black cabs in London which can turn on a tuppance yet these guys build a car costing hundreds of thousands and the steering is like a old ERF the turning circles are rubbish, Unless I throttle down and spin the car where I want it I would be doing a 7 point turn! Just a thought.

Yeah, that's the one. I know why I got the penalty - it was the 2nd hairpin after the sweeping right that everyone over-cooks. I didn't so managed to creep up the inside of 3 cars. One of those cars came right to get a better line through the tight left, but I was there.

First contact was light, not much happened. Second contact was intentional on his part (replay shows hard right steering input). I was braking and because of that it was easier for them to force me off track. I turned hard left to try to limit my distance off track, but the pleb had lost control, slid off track and was now across the front of my car, facing right. I couldn't avoid him so there was contact. Pleb went sliding off to the right, into the run-off area, I rejoined the track with a 5 second penalty.

I got the penalty because the game doesn't consider the previous contact and plebs intent, it just sees me hitting another car resulting in them flying off into the distance. We were both off track at this point and it was unavoidable on my part.
 
Bought the 787B I had been waiting on. Took it over to Sardegna and did the 800WTC race. The 787B was almost like I remembered, had to detuned it a little to get it in. Can't wait for them to release a Le Mans race that this car fits in without being detuned.

I had saved quite a bit o cash not knowing what the 787B was gonna cost and it was relatively cheap. So I started on my Invitation collection. We have a month to collect them so I suggest to everyone to buy them now so you dont worry about getting Invites.

I bought the Lambo Venino, the two Ferrari's I didnt have, the LaFerrari and the K XXR, the Bugatti, and the Pagani. Now all I have left are the Citroen and the two Aston Martin's, so about 5.6mil to go. Plenty of time to get those by 5/13.

I did the tomahawk X Tokyo farm 9 times yesterday. I think I'm done doing that! I know this will be controversial but I think they overcorrected and gave us access to more credits than we needed all at once.
 
Yesterday evening I farmed Tokyo Express. Saved up 8 mill which I used today to buy the 5 new LCD cars.
Same.
Spent all my Cr. buying the new cars in the UCD/LCD refresh so farmed tokyo today and back up to 10 million again. :lol:
Gonna be spending most of my time grinding to get as much Cr. as I can and buying whatever's available before it gets patched.:dopey:

Big spender the last couple of days. But with the current exploit you make all of that spend money back in minutes.
Currently still doing Tokyo Expressway, not touching anything else as long as this glitch is still available. I also have a lot of spare time, as I'm enjoying my holiday. Wouldn't surprise me to get to 100 million credits in a couple of days. :)
 
Today:

  • All three Group C beasts are mine, plus the R8 Gordini and 2000GT. Shocked at how “cheap” the 787B was.
  • Grinding the Sardegna WTC800 and Le Mans WTC700 as usual on my road to the new 100 million credits cap.
  • Not much else. Did some scapes with the Group C cars.
 
Did a few more runs with the Tomahawk/tokyo W600 race, played around with the Pantera(so happy for the GTS kit) and 787b. Turned farming on when I was done and continuing my run to 100million credits lol
 
Yesterday evening I farmed Tokyo Express. Saved up 8 mill which I used today to buy the 5 new LCD cars.
I bought three LCD cars (For one of them, I boguht two of them for a Black Stealth Livery from Gran Turismo 4 to put on one of them) with all that same farming method.

Been away for a few days. I decided to check out the Tomahawk hack, I needed the money as people say when they do questionable things..

My results are that credits are addictive...
I got what I needed but I see myself getting more credits from this hack.

Enabled every last bit of assist on the Hawk since it's a pure grind and a very stupid car to drive.

Yep watching numbers go up and down is addictive. I'm still trying to get that sub 15 minute flawless run, but probably need to put some more assists on and not pit. Drive on on completely worn intermediates. It only seems to matter at low speed, still handles the same at higher speeds.

The other reason is, how long until this option is taken away and what other high priced cars are still in the forecast. 962C might be priced inline with the other GR.C cars, but the 917K is probably still 18 mil when it comes back.

Doing a little research of what I would still like for my custom grid line-ups
Porsche 917K '70 18 mil
Ford GT40 '66 5.6 mil
Jaguar XJ13 '66 12 mil
Shelby Daytona '65 20 mil
Ferrari 500 '54 4 mil
Mercedes-Benz S Barker Tourer '29 20 mil

Probably still some missing but looking at another 80 million at least :/
