Today i raced in Daily Race A in Sport Mode with the Volkswagen Golf VII GTI '14. These are my stats as it stands in Sport Mode.

I enjoyed most of the races i did and did my best to race as clean as possible, but most of the times it got completely ruined by some people that don't know how to drive.

After all that hard work, i obtained two Platium Trophy's today.

Left the Plus account alone once again.

On the GTP account, I ran the Tokyo rain race with a Praiano-tune R33 (I can't remember if I changed it post-1.15), then, after an aborted run with a detuned FXX K (it burned too much gas), I found out I could still get my Tomahawk S just under 800 PP and cheesed the Sardegna WTC 800 race. I then proceeded to buy the 911 GT1 before it sold out (with it set to go up 100,000 Cr. the next time it appears), and started a thread on all of the Hagerty's price increases that are coming real soon. I finished things off by charting the Saturday night updates in Hagerty's and the UCD.

The 3-star marathon ticket was the typical low-money 10,000 Cr.

I got round to driving the 911 GT1 Strassenversion on Catalunya and was surprised by how well it handled. Easily the best handling "road" car I've driven in GT7 so far. After that I continued with the Group 1 Prototype Series, doing the races on St Croix and Suzuka in the 919. I managed to get third place at St Croix without too much hassle but really struggled at Suzuka, with my best result being a 5th place finish.
 
Nothing, got my daily ticket last night already since the race finished after midnight.
Forza 7 campaign tonight. How come GT doesn't have the Bugatti circuit at Le Mans.

I watched a bit of the N24 race, yet that just makes me sad I can't join in :lol: Interesting bit when there was collision a discussion started over indicating on the track. Apparently the pros aren't all in agreement either whether to signal where you are going or the side you're sticking to, or indicate at which side you want the trailing car to pass. They initially blamed the incident on an indicating misunderstanding.

Ah it's getting light already in Germany
 
Did the sectors for Dragon Trail Seaside Circuit Experience. I got gold in the sectors, but could only manage silver in the full lap. I'm close, but still need to find another .666 to get the gold. I'll get it eventually. I just need to find a cleaner line through the 3rd sector. That dang COD is where I'm losing time. I either lift too much or don't lift enough and wind up in the wall either head on or on the exit.

I also did a livery and did an online race (B); where I got a weird penalty. I got a 2 second penalty for "Colliding with another car". The thing is, I don't think I actually hit them. I never felt it in the FF on my controller. So if I did, it was the lightest tap I've ever seen and didn't even register on the controller. But the game sure registered it; and it gave me a 2 second penalty. But even with that, I managed an 8th place win from a starting position of 14th. So not too terrible. And I was catching 7 and 6 (right behind them at the finish) on the final lap, so without that penalty, I might've finished even higher.
 
Getting better with the triggers and MT!

Happy with the progress given that I switched about 5 days ago from X and Square and AT to Triggers and MT.

Not amazing, I know, but having put 10 days+ (240 hours) playtime in pre-switch and pre-reset, happy that something that seemed so foreign is slowly coming to me. I missed my last shift aswell; might have been marginally better.

On to Golding the S-Licenses.

Im also up to the Moby Dick set of missions having completed the first 3 sets up to that point.

 
I finally won at Suzuka in the Gr.1 Prototype in my birthday gifted Porsche 919 Hybrid, and won the 6 star ticket , I open the tickets at the end of month rather then daily. I’m hoping to win a VGT to compete in the new VGT races. Rather then buy up loads of cars, i prefer to drive the cars i have on all the available tracks and having a real fun time. Quick question does anybody know what the garage limit is ?
 
Finally got a podium (3rd) at Daytona in the Peugeot 908 - so that's 2 out of 3 stamps done. Tried Suzaka a few times and gave up for the day - shunted off too many times! Will try tomorrow.

Second time in a row I did not win the moneymaker at LeMans - only second (but over 400k payout so not bad). Again down to a poor tyre choice. Started raining end of lap 3 and I needed to pit for fuel, so popped some Inters on. Track was still wet and radar still showed rain end of lap 5 but needed to pit for tyres as they were fairly well worn. Radar showed rain when I pitted so I put inters on again for the last 2 laps.

Came out of the pits into bright sunshine. By the time I got half way through lap 7, in the lead, the tyres were pretty much full red because the track was dry. I was skidding all over the place. The Corvette went past right near the end, and I just pipped the Viper for second.

3 star ticket gave Cr. 10,000.
 
Did two of the three Gr1 races in the Mazda VGT: Dayton & Suzuka. Finished P2 & P1 respectfully. Only really trying for P3 at the moment to finish the cafe menu, but any I don't win I'll go back to and push for wins. Just need to do the St Croix to finish.

Got a 3 star for 10k.

Cool livery! Are you using the straight VGT or the Gr.1 version (I'm assuming that's you in the Mazda!)?

All credit goes to the one who made it... I just found it and applied. :cheers:

I'm using the Gr1 version. Wouldn't be surprised if the other one wasn't allowed in the races.
It's a PP/tire limitation, not a Gr.1-only (or even race-car-only) event. I won Daytona with a Tomahawk S...with the game accidentally left on hard after a futile attempt at clearing the last Human Comedy event.

Well, good find! The VGT is allowed - that's what I tried today after reading some tips on here. It's a flyer and handles well!
But it still can't repel shunters!

Earlier in the week I was going to ask which is correct. AI in game uses both too. But I guess no one knows.

I prefer the traditional, I am tuning this way, you pass on the other side way.
 
I tried a different setup for the Focus RS to reduce fuel consumption, but did not reach my target of "no pit stop" on my favourite event. Total time was faster anyhow, so it was a minor success to this point.

The AI doesn't use both, at least not from what I've seen. They just stick their blinker out even though they're at the opposite side of the track and you're already about to pass on that side. Then they drive to the side they're indicating with total disregards of your position and intentions :banghead: Beware when they indicate, they will go to that side no matter what! At least they have the decency to indicate before pushing you off :lol:

Or they do what I do and accidentally hit it and don't notice until they watch the replay. :lol:

Last few Arcade races I tried had both. And like super long too, like a half mile ahead. But as you said once you get close they aren't safe, sometimes it feels like a trap.
 
Took my Super Formula car to Suzuka to settle the score, this time with the power adjusted from 83% to 100%
Got a healthy first place and 5 star card.. and i won a pretty nice car, now.. imagine if i already had bought that car, wouldn't that be funny, almost like the Wheel of Misfortune making a fool of me even when i get nice cards with nice rewards.. anyway, here is a scape i did today..

Cars.jpg


Besides now having 2 RAMPAGE CAMARO, it's a fun car, so much fun i thought, lets race this thing..

BUT in PD's al embracing we know it all wisdom there is very few races where it can apply. It's not a road car, so that takes away a healthy portion, same goes for not german, no turbo, ff car? nope etc etc.. But i can take it to 730pp etc events with no chance without tuning it to hell and back. Thanks PD! Imagine if you could pick a car and then the car presented all the races/events you could compete in? :)
 
For some odd reason I decided today to personalize all my cars by adding plates to the cars that can have one, as well as putting custom rims on a select few. So far I've added German, Great Britain, Qatari, Japanese, Egyptian, and Californian plates. Ideally I'm trying to add plates where it makes sense e.g. German plates only on LHD cars, with Japanese and GB plates only on RHD cars.

Honestly not sure what made me do this but I admit it does make each car feel more unique.

Was able to play some more today, took the Mazda LM55 to St-Croix and won it easy. Despite not remembering the track and having a couple offs, still won by over 15 seconds.

I really wanted to buy the Sauber C9 from Legendary and had 3.1mil in the bank. Decided not to buy the C9 and buy the Mazda instead so I could do the 950PP races, thus the Mazda would pay for itself. When I got my 6 star ticket, I won the Ford GT LM II Test Car, which I was quite happy with as I didn't have it (I have the Race Car one but not the Test one), wanted it, and it's like 1.2mil. So, I can't complain about that.

But, winning the car I was a bit short of the 3mil mark for the C9, so I did the Sardena to make up the difference. Bought the Sauber and now have less than 200k in the account.
