After grinding to 20mill credits a few days ago, I've been lingering and waiting for the McLaren F1 to appear in the legendary dealership. It appeared today, I purchased it to complete the games most stupid Extra Menu book.
From the 6-star ticket you get from the Extra Menu book I pulled a car that is sometimes voted as the most useless car in the game - the Dodge Tomahawk VGT.
So for over 10 hours grinding just for this one task, I got a McLaren F1 I'll likely never use and a Tomahawk I will absolutely not use.
The whole endeavor highlights another comical wrinkle in the game - used car evaluations. The McLaren F1 is a car that can only be purchased from the Legendary dealership for 20mill credits, which kind of reflects that in real life the only way to get an F1 is through speciality dealers and auctions, but that should mean that it's also the only way to sell them in-game, right? Nope, our only option is the Used Car dealership that low-balls you with 11mill.
This would be comparable to me rolling down to the Barrett Jackson auctions, dropping $20mill on an F1 and then when I'm done with the car pondering "How can I sell it?" and not thinking of going back to auction, but instead deciding that my only option is the used car dealership down town!

The highlight today for me in GT7 was definately doing this F-3500 Monza cup Race, it was very tricky 1st time round, I botched everything. Then a second try and was very smooth minus one botch at lap 8, but it was fine, a solid fun race with balanced AI suprisngly!! ENJOY!

This was a fun experience...
A week or two ago, I went cold turkey on visual aids, turning them all off. I no longer know how many cars are ahead, my lap times, or even the lap number in the current race, let alone the approximate racing line.
Yesterday, this choice hit home hard when driving the weekly on St Croix in the pre-dawn. This is not one of my go-to tracks for some reason, so I had to rely on the cars ahead to guide me. The focus on this meant that my aging brain quickly lost track of the lap number and I had no idea how I was placed.
As the day dawned, and I could see better, I was able to settle into a comfortable rhythm, despite the sun's glare.
Good times!
