What did you do in GT7 today?

[GBO Possum]

Bought the new vehicles. Took the Pug to Mt Panorama and two bloody stupid AI drivers decided it was appropriate to enter Toyota trucks in the race. In a later race, a Sophy AI entered a bloody van. Idiotic

I got my birthday present. VGT Peugeot

 

[Imbissbrunto]

Made a livery for the Peugeot 205 (Replica of Colin McRae‘s car from the 1988 RAC Rally):

 

[The Chosen One]

Took weight reduction more seriously.

Friday night I came back home after work, booted up the PS4 and after downloading the new update I still had to wait ages for the PS4 to copy the data before I could start the game.

Once the waiting festival were done I could buy the new cars and test drive them.

The Peugeot initially felt good out of the box, but as I drove it around Alsace (weekly special event) it became an understeer machine. Them I drove the Golf '83 just to realize I like the german hot hatch more.

The Z4 is way too soft suspension wise for my taste. Just like the M3 E36. I believe either the sport or heigh adjustable suspension should be enough to improve its behaviour, and also some sport tyres of course. That's tunning duty for another session.

The Unimog.... I drove it for 2kms at the Red Bull Ring and then I ran out of patience. The thing is just too slow. Maybe I'll give it a try another day.

1992 F1 at Interlagos, Senna vs. Mansell

Dude, that's amazing! Love the idea of filming the screen to give it a more nostalgic look and sound!

 

[Pigems]

A clip from a league race of some all around great racing. An almost pass, some really good defence, and some so great driving from blue flagged driver in a tricky position. This was a fun race.

Thanks for the comment! I thought it created a more TV like effect.

I’m looking into adding 90’s TV style graphics as well, a new rabbit hole….

One of the weekly events takes place at the shorter Red Bull track. I did it in my "replica" of my actual 1965 Morris Cooper and it happened to be raining lightly. The sound of the raindrops hitting the glass was amazing.

And speaking of "replicas", I've been using ChatGPT to help with tire choice. For example, I replaced the stock Dunlop SP crossply tires of my real Morris Cooper with Michelin X radials, and after giving me quite the education on tires of the period, it recommended I choose Comfort Medium in the game to emulate the Michelins.

Made the 2025 Mercedes F1 W16:

Today I was gifted a lovely an early Birthday Present from Sarah and Luca at the Cafe!
I thought the suprise was something else (wink,wink) but hey, beggers can be choosers!

They gave me a Tomahawk all carbon prototype!!! Lucky me! woop wooop!

 

[skydragon49]

After buying and testing the new cars on friday, on saturday I completed the weekly challenge set of races, went full weight reduction on a spare 911 (930) and tested it.

Also bought a couple of spare Civics '93 from the UCD and set a lap time at the latest online time trial.

You can load it with upgrades and give it an extra 100 horsepower or so. Tons of fun at that point.

EDIT, I did a lap to show what I mean. This one is loaded up with 200hp, and max weight loss. This is a fantastic training tool. It's essentially half the power and double the weight of a GR3 car. So, it's like driving in slow motion. The braking points are very similar. It can help you get better at getting that line correct, so when it's time to go fast, you will be better! I love it.

Took weight reduction more seriously.

Did it just happen? Did you do something specific to trigger this?

 

[jrbabbitt]

Each time i select my 'MOG in my garage and it starts up, all I can hear in my head is this...

I'm definitely trying it!

 

[Imbissbrunto]

Drove the 430 Scuderia around the Nordschleife for the first time. Such a great handling car, definitely one of my favorite Ferrari‘s!

 

[The Chosen One]

Nothing specific. I just booted up GT7, and set up remote play to capture some replays on my phone. The car fixed itself after re-loading the replay.

Strangest glitch I’ve encountered and it’s likely the only time I will.

Out of sheer ignorance, Group B Rally Cars, until today, had not grabbed my attention.

The fifth of the weekly five races (Trial Mtn, 10 laps) required me to choose such a car, and fortunately I have just one, the NSX, so was able to participate. I must have won it in a roulette or something.

The race started with me assuming I'd have to take one pit stop. After 3 laps or so, I figured that I might almost be able to avoid that stop if I chose gears and throttle openings more carefully. The gamble paid off.

 

[Bowtie-muscle]

Bought the last car needed for collection completion, 20m Alfa...... and then sold it

 

[skydragon49]

Today I set a time in the online time trial that is gonna expire next Thursday (WRX Gr4 at Fuji).

Then I continued the process of downsizing my virtual garage. I test drove a lot of cars and got to decide what was a keeper and what was going to be sold.

Because of that my credit balance is almost at 100 millions.

 

[skydragon49]

It's Monday but I don't have to go to work. So, instead I went to Nurburgring and drove the lovely Z4.

 

[Famine]

I remembered that I haven't actually finished the game in the three years it's almost been out...

... so on Saturday I finished off the last couple of events and bought the last car I wasn't buying yet (Ferrari 458 Gr.4), and on Sunday I got gold in Master S-10 (on pad too; laziness rules).

All that's left is the photograph for Platinum, which I think I'll do at bang-on midnight - for the precision of being three years exactly...


Although I did have the game on March 2nd, 2022, but don't tell anyone.

 

[skydragon49]

Second go at Nurburgring, this time with the Unimog.

Not gonna lie.... This thing is fun. 😁

I searched my phone gallery as I was pretty sure I'd seen a Unimog at the Nürburgring 24h last year. Turns out my memory is worse than the weather was that day... it's not even a Mercedes 😅

This was at Steilstrecke...

Running on fumes approaching the finish line...

Downloaded the update bought at least one of all 3 new cars and the Peugot 908 to get ..... carbon brakes for something. I chose not to remember. Then I tried out the scapes and found a livery for the 908. I was planning on taking it to Sardegna but I take care of some business
