What did you do in GT7 today?

[NicoloPou]

I golded Laguna Seca’s CE. Took me all day. But I did it.
Also I golded the mission with the mclaren SLR on the nordschleife. Thanks to the new physics model.

 

[JimmyPop]

S9 gold.

Three left. S4, s5 & s10.

 

[hardvibes]

Finally
-golded Laguna Seca CE
-golded Willow Springs "Streets of W.P." CE
-golded Willow Springs "Horse Thief Mile" CE
-golded Trial Mountain CE
-golded Deep Forest CE
-golded Tokyo Driving Park "Yamagiwa" CE
turning TCS/ESP off.

And working on some more...

EDIT:
-golded Alsace CE, drunk as hell. But I guess this one doesn't count because of the turbo lag. It was way too easy to exit corners.

 

[robisme]

Hi, Tried my new wheel, improved a couple of my license times, but only ones that did not involve braking lol
I was aweful with wheel, peddles kept slipping when I pressed brakes (on floor) plus my hand make wooded frame for holding wheel needed a bit of glue & nails

 

[speeeyskells]

Got myself a podium tonight on Race a and if you do not believe me I have shared it using skells22 as a tag

 

[Islaygaz]

Did the WTC 700 championship in the S15 Gr.4 (2 out of 3 CRB), then did the Monza WTC 800 and treated myself to a Gr.3 viper and updated my Oreca livery for it

 

[unfairlane]

Did "a few laps" at Le Mans while improving my Tomahawk Model X setup. Can race most tyres now, good suspension &
gearbox

More laps, saving for a Shelby Daytona. And improved the Tomahawk even more, first lap at Le Mans went 2.52

 

[chengman]

Current and have been grinding Tomahawk Tokyo because i like money

 

[CoenRSD]

• Golded every sector and the full lap on Spa Francorchamps.

• Did two runs on the Tokyo Expressway with the Tomahawk exploit.
• Bought the new Subaru BRZ GT300 '21 and did the endurance race on Spa Francorchamps. More pictures here.
• Since a long time i started up a lobby and was cruising around with random people. It was fun.

 

[TRB1999]

• Bought three Cappuccinos because why not? I tuned one of them to the max and got it over 510 PP. Got a top speed of roughly 130 mph at Special Stage Route X.
• Entered the Subaru BRZ GT300 in the one-hour Spa WTC800 race and won easily on hard difficulty. Medium-RPM turbo helps a lot on the straights.
• Bought the Bugatti Veyron just for collection’s sake. I will drive it…eventually.
• Made sure to buy the Porsche 550 Spyder. Ignored the S Barker Tourer since I have no interest in cars that old and expensive…

 

[Wisy]

Stubbornly attempted to win the Trial Mountain Cup with a stock Camaro SS '16. Damn Solis and his Viper (and his 20s initial lead...)

 

[incredirog]

finished off my Gr4 collection aside from the 155 Alfa, and changed every single stock livery to something different, a few novelty ones, a few classic themes and a few wild ones which should be worth a few tenths on their own.

 

[Sunzi]

Finished up 'The Sun Also Rises' missions.

Golded all my missions!

Put my Chevvy C7 engine into a Miata and finished up taking the Pennzoil GTR out to Brands and Daytona for the Gr.3 700PP events!

 

[kjeldsen]

Returned from my trip.. Played around for 20 seconds with ballast and ecu and got my 600 pp grind machine back.

Did one Tokyo, 4 star card 10.000 credits, went to bed, woke up in the middle of the night (hello jetlag), silvered the 1st sector at Nurburgring several times and bronzed it 20 times.. no gold. Did the changes to the car setups include the circuit challenges?
But after grinding tokyo every car in the game feels like a boat the size of a aircraft carrier.. or is the new setup changes?

Earned another 4 star card and another 10k.. The credits the micro transactions etc is not the biggest design flaw in this game it's the absolute disgrace of roulette that only provides frustration.

The more i think about it, i simply don't believe this game had a proper play test...

The patched changed the rear breaking out in MR cars into understeer like GT Sport. So yep, a lot of cars now feel like they don't want to turn anymore, but you can step on the throttle again at corner exit without fear like in GT Sport. Typical PD, no middle ground.

The circuit experience has become a bit easier, but those times at the ring are still very tight. I managed to get a 6:35 lap in today after 700 km trying to get there.

Tokyo feels easier as well after the patch. I can get under 15 minutes now without penalties, no stop on IM. Still the fastest way to get credits. That 6 million from Nurb exp was definitely very nice, but I could have had 15 mil if I had stayed on Tokyo lol. So messed up.

 

[well2thebone]

You're not done until you take off that turbo kit and throw some hards back on it.

can that be done on AI Hard??????

 

[LSFDRX]

can that be done on AI Hard??????

I just noticed that you wrote "sport soft" and not "racing soft", so I might be well off base anyways!

In my own playing, I normally have a PP at least 50 points below the limit, sometimes more than 100 less. In nearly all the events I've done its with SH or RH depending on the class (always like to choose the same tire as AI) and very rarely are the cars extensively modified unless I'm using a much less powerful car in a higher class.

Most of the time it's a box stock rig on the same tires as AI, and sometimes this is super difficult, taking multiple attempts, but I really hate it when I murder a lobby of AI without a challenge. I got done with the BAC Mono 1hr on trail mountain today, and despite everything being equal, I beat the 2nd place AI by well over 2 minutes. There isn't really a way to make that one more of a challenge without tuning it down with a restrictor or ECU, but I'm not that desperate for equality... lol.

Translation: I create my own rules to get more out of this game. Is this a fair statement?

I'm not going to be using Sport Mode's. Not sure about yours either.

Kinda. I just let most of the cars be what they are and try to make it work as best as possible. I wouldn't say that I'm "creating my own rules" just that I'm not tuning the hell out of cars to get an easy win. I like a good challenge and harsh consequences for failure I guess.

I'm not sure what you mean by "sport modes", I was talking about the tires you were using. I thought you were using race softs when you said sports softs, and if you're going up against AI on sport tires when they are using race tires then you're doing just fine.

 

[AndrewMorrell]

600 miles. Sardegna grind, bought the Lambo VGT, and said hello to @Snake55wildcat

 

[ICEYOU3]

Still milking the 30 minute endurances for all they're worth.

 

[well2thebone]

Still milking the 30 minute endurances for all they're worth.

I milked one earlier today. Bought a RUF.

 

[ColinNZ]

I finally went back and finished the missions. Then did the Willow Springs CE. Followed this up with a couple of races at Sardegna and a WTC700 race at Dragon Trail.

 

[Lomic]

Gave another go to Nordschleife C.E, ended up at 6min56 something, so ~+1s compared to my last try. Did 32km total, with 2 failed laps. Got to get used to the understeer, it makes me go out on places I used to have less issues.

Did the truck race at Daytona for a "quick" and easy amount of credits and top of my daily workout.

Got a 2 star, 10k, meh.

Sigh, i remembered the many complaints about the tugboats of understeer in GT-Sport, i guess we are back to that. Thanks for the update Sven.

 

[Tenacious D]

Spent a couple hours doing the Tomahawk Chop, made 7-ish million. Debated spending any of my nest egg, then did, and bought

• Dodge Challenger R/T '70
• 2x Lamborghini Countach LP400 '74
• Pennzoil Skyline R34
• S Barker Tourer 1929 - yikes, that was a pile of caps

I wanted to do something else, and remembered all the Challenges, Missions and Circuit Experiences. So I gave Blue Moon Bay a shot. It took a few tries, but I got all gold. It wasn't much fun though.

Then I decided to explore the physics of race cars to see if they were unable to be overdriven as some swear they are. There was a slight detour when I caught sight of my Gift box with all my roulette tickets. Some were due to expire, and some good ones too, so I gave them a go. Two one stars netted me 2K credits apiece, yay. A three star won me some suspensions, yay again. A four star won me the Gr4 Corvette, nice. Finally a five star, which was piles of monies and some gold bars. I could hardly wait for the 10K or 30K reveal, and when it stopped... I won a million credits! Woah.

So, excitement over, I went physics testing. Took my Gr4 race tuned F430 to the 24 Minutes of LeMans and naturally won. But I nearly spun out a couple of times from overconfidence in the physics update. Check that, I did spin once and restarted.

Then I spotted the Ford GT LM GTE 2018 I hadn't done anything with. The reason being, I had a hell of a time trying to control the tasmanian devil and gave up on it last month. But hey, you can't overdrive the cars now, right? She practically bit me in the neck first go at Dragon Trail Seaside Reverse. Yeah, it needed some therapy. I tried for about half an hour of tuning and finally calmed her down... some. I still had to spend another half hour just coming to terms with her in time trial. But finally, I thought we had something of a relationship blossoming, and tried the Dragon Trail WTC800.

ZOMG... the pain, the pain. First it was the blazing sun blinding me down the straight, and then there was the rowdy Ford GT. When she wasn't trying to throw me, the bots would happily run her into the wall. And then towards the end of the race, the blinding sunset gave way to a deep, murky gloom. I could hardly see the track racing towards the sunset! GAH!! But about a dozen do overs later, I finally got a good race in with just two mistakes, almost race ending, but I still managed to win. I wasn't happy with how the race went, so I did another, and this time was very careful with her. I didn't get as far ahead this time because of that, but at least I didn't leave the track as it got dark, really dark. Except once, when without warning she politely slid off the track in the chicaney turns before the straight. It could have been from a chilly tarmac, but who knows. Regardless, I got her righted and finished the race with opponent's headlights blinking in the distance.

That race though. It's one thing to be partially blinded by the setting sun, but it's another to then have darkness pounce on me like a vampire. And the setting: this is clearly a televised race. Which won't play well when about the only things visible are the car lights and last of the sunset. There are no lights to speak of anywhere - even in pit lane. It's kind of hard to do a job on a car in the gloom. There aren't even lights in the stands. Good grief... someone needs to remind the people setting up races that there is difficulty, and then there is absurdity. GAH some more.

I'll probly do it again sometime though, it was kind of fun. Or I'm a glutton for punishment.

 

[Bobert power]

I tried the WTC 800 Spa 1 hour race in my Corvette Gr.3, and won after passing P1 at the bus stop chicane.

What a race that was. Besides that, I did some other races with the GTR GT500 on the side.

 

[Factor41]

Won the Le Mans grind race with yet another different car. Got proper weather this time after a few entirely dry runs. Even the super-cautious AI were struggling with the storm on this one! 😂

Also Golded all of Rolling Stone for the Gp.3 Corvette

 

[Talon16]

Anyone notice the Gr3 Nissan GTR get Nerfed? I don't remember the pre-1.13 PP value but now it's 717 which I think is about 10 lower than before. One of the lowest PPs on the Gr3 cars and that doesn't seem right.

Anyway, I wanted to drive that car so I tuned it to 699 and ran it at LeMans and the 700 WC. It was fun picking on the Gr4 cars. Once the Legendary cars dropped (BORING!) and there was no McLaren GTR or 962, I went on a spending spree since I had been saving and was over 17mil waiting for the McLaren GTR.

Bought:

BWM M6 Gr3 Enduro Edition (maybe it doesn't suck now?)
BMW M3 GT Gr3
Ferrari 458 GT3
Aston V8 Vantage Gr3
Honda NSX Gr3

Then took the M3 to LeMans. Had to detune it some and basically it turns into a Gr4 car. Decent in the turns but super slow on the straights... slower than the Gr4 cars, but it makes things interesting. It never rained so two stopper for fuel and no tires got it done.

Also did one of the Tokyo CE (the second one over, with the BMW). I hate all the Tokyo tracks, I really do...so I've not really been keen on doing them. Had a tough time with S2 on this one; got silver then skipped it to come back later. S1 was easy; S3 was easy; lap attack wasn't easy but not hard either. After the lap attack went back to S2 and got it by .002"! Take that, Sarah!

 

[TypeRDC5]

I bought ferrari 330 P4, one of 3 of the cars needed for my platinum trophy.

Will do some more sports races later, enjoying the different strategies in race c.
