Ya know that 10 lap PP700 race at the Red Bull Ring where it always rains, don't you? The one with the fuel and tire wear?

So I decided to bite the bullet and fit Intermediates on my GT-R from the start, since while the AI can handle RS tires on the wet track, I'm rubbish. Added more power to compensate for the PP loss of course.

End of lap 4, pitted on fumes and got the Trophy to prove it

End of lap 10 and it still hadn't rained

 

[NicoloPou]

Today I golded Deep Forest circuit experience and the first human comedy endurance race. I bought all the available used car I missed.

 

[incredirog]

Nice little gold rush after yesterdays dissapointments, studied the Autopolis demo and found where my two tenths were hiding. Moved on to Fuji, Suzuka and Bathurst all Golded in a morning session!

 

[TRB1999]

Decided to send some 700PP “RM” Corvettes to the Le Mans WTC700. The C4 ZR-1 is a bit nervous while the C6 ZR1 is much more stable. I won with the C4, but got third with the C6, but only because I got too greedy and stayed on slicks for too long.

 

[Harley45]

Won the WTC700 at LeMans in a Porsche , currentley awaiting my contract from the Factory to appear

Got to 35 Million CR , so i've reserved 30 Million for the Group C Collection i'm aiming for , now I am going to use other funds I get for a GR3/GT3 field of cars I intend to collect for a full on WEC Series of races to run them in .

 

[Raceface1959]

I bought some of the new used cars. Took that DS 3 Racing out again and did some races with it for the daily mileage. It's gonna be a regular driver for me. Then I decided to find out how well a bone stock Cappucino would do against more powerful cars. Better than you would actually think, with a mid pack finish at Tsukuba. Now to buy every race part for one of the two that I have and try it again lol. That's where I find the fun is in GT7. Trying out all of the "what ifs".

 

[CoenRSD]

• Earned Gold on Tsukuba 1 hour endurance race from The Human Comedy series. No problems at all, comfortable finished 1st.

• Also earned Gold in Alsace from The Human Comedy mission. This one was a bit harder for me, but got it after my second attempt. I made it difficult myself because of the wrong pit strategy. You don’t need to switch any tires, just pit once for fuel and keep the fuel map on 1 the entire race. Funny how many times you past that Mini in the race.

The race photos i forgot to take from the Supra yesterday are now added in the Race Photo Thread.

 

[DapperDan07]

I let my kids have a go on the Tokyo expressway with the tomahawk. I took over on lap 8 after being lapped by the whole field. Managed to get the win, overtaking the nsx on the final straight. Got the crb and 6 star roulette ticket for my efforts.

Think i’ve found a new way to make the tokyo grind a challenge 😂

Did the same with my girlfriend the other day. Took her over 45 minutes for 1 race.

 

[Sleazydriver]

Today I was supposed to be doing a family day but frankly I'd rather slam my tackle in a car door. So instead I tried to tune a car from scratch to see if I could. My victim for the day was the 288 GTO and my test track was Lago Maggiorre. In the end I was within a couple of hundreths of my time in a Praiano tuned 512BB, not that I am suggesting that I could work the miracles that he does. I then took it to Brands and beat the BB FL by over half a second. Clearly I need to go to help Mercedes F1 sort their car out.
To further prove my brilliance I then went to Spa and promptly exited Eau Rouge backwards in a cloud of tyre smoke. Clearly more work/talent required.
What a fun way to spend the day.

 

[Touring Mars]

I won the Spa 1 hr enduro again (and again no rain) and with the CRB to boot I scored 1.5 million Cr. for 61 mins work.

I also had lunch with some friends today (a rare treat these days!) and regaled them with stories of how amazing GT7 is - particularly the aforementioned event - but also had a pretty frank discussion on the shortcomings of the game... notably the cost of in-game credits on PSN.

This is what really tears me - GT7 is truly epic, and it can and does deliver pure magic... not only that, but it promises so much more too.

And yet there are still some major shortcomings, and my biggest bugbear of all is the horrendous pricing of their in-game credits on PSN. Frankly, it is nothing short of a disgrace, and it must be rectified.

I personally think that Kazunori-san himself must be similarly torn - no doubt he truly hates the fact that 2 million Cr. costs a frankly stupid £16, and yet can't risk publicly condemning such an obviously greedy and self-defeating thing as this. At yet, it is Kazunori-san and Polyphony Digital themselves whose legacy is being tarnished by this horrible appendage to an otherwise glorious franchise. The horrific pricing of their so-called microtransactions is literally like someone taking a massive dump on the steps of the Louvre, yet expecting patrons to still enjoy the Mona Lisa.

PLEASE, PD, Kazunori-san, stop this - it's frankly embarrassing for those of us who try so hard to advocate for this otherwise wonderful game to justify the unjustifiable.

 

[JoeDaSnow]

What I had done this week was fulfilling invitations to purchase cars from the European section of Brand Central as they expired today. I had to enter WTC 600 Tokyo East and WTC 800 Sardegna races multiple times today in order to buy the Enzo Ferrari and Ferrari FXX K. These were the last invites I had fulfilled. Besides these two cars, I had purchased a Nissan 180SX Type X in the Used Cars section, which got me to collector level 47.

 

[Tenacious D]

First I went shopping in the Used Lot and bought

• 2x Pontiac Firebird Trans Am '78
• Dodge Viper GTS '02

Then I harassed Blofeld - I mean... oh hell, everyone knows by now that V. Gallo is Blofeld. At Tokyo with the Tomahawk. I was going to switch to something else, maybe the RE Amemiya again to make Rose happy, but I'm beginning to crash so after supper I might head to bed early. I want to get back to doing some creative stuff anyway; writing, art, music... much more of all three. Poor Tommy needs some maintenance so I'll do that right now.

By the way, I managed, somehow, to resist spending any real money to buy fake credits, and survived. Even made 240 million on my own.

 

[ScottPuss20]

-Tuned my '15 Mustang and took it to Willow Springs.
-Tuned my DB5 and took it to Brands Hatch.
-Bought an Aventador.
-Bought an Aventador SV.
-Bought the SLR McLaren and took it to the Nurburgring GP track. I also drove the Carrera GT on it.

 

[CarreraGT]

Realised the dealership invitation was about to expire so dropped all my credits on a LaFerrari and Aston Martin Vulcan

Then got a Ferrari dealership invite via roulette the next day 🤦‍♂️

 

[ColinNZ]

Just did the Streets of Willow CE, and reminded myself how much I hate this layout (mostly because of the final sector). I also spent 100 miles or so lowering my time on the Suzuka CE.

Managed not to worry about the price of Cr.

 

[LSFDRX]

Finished the Human Comedy Lago Maggiore with gold, and afterwards had about 20 million, so I went shopping and bought...

Lexus SC430 GT500
Lexus LC500
'69 Fairlady Z
Honda Dallara F1
Castrol GT500 Supra
S13 Silvia K's
Fiat 500 Abarth
GC Subaru WRX STI Type-R
Honda S660
'70 Super Bee
Alfa 155 2.5
DeTomaso Pantera
RE Amemiya FD RX7

Should keep me busy for a bit. The biggest shopping spree I've went on in game by a long shot.

 

[The OG]

did my usual 3 races on tokyo with the tomahawk just to get money... yes this is a daily occurrence lol... but I did finally beat Tokyo Expressway Clubman Cup Plus barely... I won at the finish line with the skyline 94... had to use nitrous at the end lol

 

[Sunzi]

- Golf at Human Comedy #6 - Alsace.

Credit to @GilbertAuSki for his 308GTB tune. I had overtuned mine significantly for the Ferrari challenge and was struggling to find a balance between performance and fuel economy in the other pre '79 cars in my garage but with the Tune I strolled to victory and couldn't believe how pliant the car was given that anything else from the era lacks handling characteristics.

Race itself is simple enough - a usable car was the challenge for me here.

- Gold at High Speed Ring Circuit Experience.

 

[kjeldsen]

Early morning, 3 races in Schwarzwald league, lost the first with a few seconds, got a beefier Porsche, it handled like a brick without front tires, started to rain.. accepted that i was Fred Astaire on a skateboard with 2 wheels.. dropped the race. Changed to a Mercedes AMG, brought back the fun and the win, with a classic crash on the 3rd last corner.

Happy with the races i got my daily trolling card from the department of "we never play our own game" a solid 1 star that presented me with a wheel of moderate interesting stuff and lucky me.. i won the lowest tier of credits. Powered off the PS5 and made this post.

The plan for the next days.. money making in Tokyo and Spa if i get the time, preparing for the next update..

 

[robisme]

Human Comedy #1 - Tskuba 5th with 300hp chilli easy, 1st attempt.
2nd attempt with 45hp approx less and other car, different setup on Hard chilli 1st by 1.199s, not the fastest car, the leader past me twice, but I still won doing 1:00 - 1.2 laps sometimes slower.

 

[LGBT_Barron]

2 early morning Race B & C's. Won a Race C but mainly due to the GT gods taking almost 10 mins to connect us all and start the race, so i went from 6th to 3rd.....and then the guy in 2nd punted the guy in 1st, which i don't approve of but i'll take.

Aside from that not much overtaking happened, maybe a consequence of being on early in morning.

 

[HarVee]

Just been doing the Daytona Clubman race in the Tomahawk. I reached a milestone today - 1,500 miles on the Tomahawk S... all from doing this race on occasion for the last few weeks.

 

[Roggers]

Yesterday was the first time I powered up GT7 flicked through a few menus to find something to do, did one race and powered the game off. I’ve hit that point now where I’m kinda board of the game.
I still have a few missions to complete, all of Licence S to complete, nearly all the track experience and some of the new races they added via the updates, but I just dont feel like doing these.

 

[Touring Mars]

Turns out my win (and CRB) at the Spa enduro yesterday was a bit luckier than I thought. Near the end of the race, I felt like the car was pulling to the left slightly, particularly on the Kemmel straight. It turns out that the direction buttons broke mid-race and now the controller is pretty much unusable. I'm just glad it didn't totally wreck my race, and it's surprising that I made it to the end without noticing how badly broken the controller was.

The annoying thing is that I do have a newer controller, but the analogue sticks are broken on that so I can't use it for scrolling through the options like Fuel Maps and TCS etc. Even more annoyingly, I actually bought a warranty for that controller that gave me a free replacement if it ever broke, but I can't find it anywhere. That newer controller lasted less than a year of occasional use too.

So today in GT7 I'm off to Argos for a new controller...

 

[incredirog]

Ticked off all the Tokyo clockwise CE in gold last night, now only have the 3 Tokyo Counter Clockwise, Sardegna Windmills all sectors and lap sitting on bronze, and the Nordschleife lap attack on silver!

 

[atfmarko]

908 hdi fap NORDSCHLEIFE CHALLENGE...
NO UPGRADES ALLOWED ( turbo, steering angle, gearbox) just changes on setup( downforce and suspension)
-UNDER 5:19:5

 

[seadog777]

Got one star tickets again today and yesterday, back to the Cr 2000 routine.😌

Finally won the Maggiore Gr3 PP730 race - tried first with Toyota Supra GT500 1997, came 5th, tried the Viper G3 3 and won by about a second!
Tried the one hour race again at Spa, gave up after 15 minutes when it went dark AND rained. Not my idea of fun! There are much nicer ways to earn Cr 1,5M.

Finally got a "like" on Scapes......🤣

 

[CoenRSD]

Only did some Tokyo grinding this morning and one round on Le Mans with the Alfa.

Don't have much more time today as its my dad's birthday so of course we're celebrating that.
