Happy New Year everybody. I'll start by saying a big thanks to everyone who has taken part in the fastest lap challenge this year, it's been great to look at everyones times and have different people doing well on different tracks / cars. I started the challenge so that we could all participate in a group activity even if we were in different time zones and I think it's worked pretty well for that. It's also been a great way to get some people into Sunday night race nights where we've had a core group that's there most weeks but also wanted to fill out the grid a little. Again if anyone is interested in joining in then let me know as it would be great to see some more take part in that.
So onto the livery challenge. Thanks to everyone who voted and especially thanks to everyone who created a livery. I wasn't sure how many would be interested in this side of the game and while we didn't get many entries it was great to see some people want to take part and produce some awesome cars.
OK, GT7 in VR is unbelievable. One small detail that literally caught my eye - the HDR glare of headlights in your mirrors during night races. It's bright to the point where it closely resembles reality in a similar situation. I've never seen anything quite like this in a game.
Can’t wait to try out my car collection in VR. I’m especially curious to try out the super formula with the halo. Track & trace says it will arrive tomorrow. 🤞🏼
just got GT7, completed the basic set of menus and have a few questions.
1) I'm grinding money for the Le Mans cars (the Ford is currently in stock).
I've been doing the Le Mans 700 which I can win no problem plus I've been doing the weekly challenges. Quite happy to continue doing this but does anyone have any other suggestions? Preferably something that can reliably be won/completed.
2) Can you change the day/night cycle speed for predefined races such as the Le Mans 700? I quite fancy driving it at night to change up the pace.
@CaptD have you done the circuit experiences? Those are a good way of earning quick cash. And the time trials within Sport that rotate each week can net you 250k-2m
@MatthewJP Thanks for the info, I've only completed one circuit experience but I shall get on those and thanks for reminding me about the Online Trails within Sport as someone did mention that to me but I totally forgot and yeah they have decent payouts even if i don't get gold.
@CaptD
When I was doing the same credit grind way back when I would start with the Trial Mountain cup for a quick 10min 100k then do the Cirque de la Sarthe one you are doing for@ 30mins 800k and I liked the Ferrarri challenge at Dragon Trail. I had then got the best part of a million around the first hour.
Then I'd try to do other stuff to stop it getting too repetitive. Other big credit races were the 800 at Sardegna and Prototype race at St. Croix. There are also a couple of quick couple of minutes dirt races for quick easy credits at Windmills and Fisherman's Ranch if you have unlocked them already.
... I did that Le Mans one so much I was dreaming about it! Anyway hope that gives you some options and variety so you don't have to.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
Thanks @sorteddan and yeah that provides a bit of needed variety.
The Le Mans one is giving me 825k every 30 mins so a good payout , I enjoy the race but as you say it will become tiring quickly although I've just driven it in the Ford Mk4 1967 car which was good fun and an easy win tbh.
@CaptD Did you try the circuit experiences? Helps you get to know the tracks and gives you lots of credits. The Sardegna 800 race is also good for credits if you want to mix it up. Besides that there are also the time trials in Sport mode.
@Mr_B021 Thanks for the info, I had actually already done the Sardegna 800 but that was only because it was in the current weekly challenges.
As for the circuit experiences, I've only completed one so far and that was because it was one of the base menu books so I will certainly get onto those.
I saved up my pennies and bought the Ferrari 330 p4, at 20 mil (up from 9 mil at launch) it isn't a car I would have purchased if not for those meddling ki...err trophies.
But wow this car is my new favourite and fantastic in VR, you feel like you are in a fighter cockpit, love the open roof. Drives beautifully as well but quite scary hurling towards the back end of the supercars.
Not sure it is worth 20 mil though, next up is the Jag as I have the Ford which is also pretty great but doesn't have that Italian flair, so out with the Ford.
@CaptD You don't need to hold on to all three cars simultaneously. If you bought the most expensive one, you can sell it for credits and buy the next. Saves you some time grinding for credits. I kept all three cars for a while, but in the end I sold them all because I never used them. They are great to drive, especially in VR, but so are a lot of other (and cheaper) cars.
Absolutely, great track. I also saw a reset of the circuit experience mentioned. That’s a great way to earn some extra credits while maxing out your knowledge of every track.
Yeah looks like a nice update, I wonder if there will be a dirt variant of the new track at some point as it looks like it would be great in that form.
There were several dirt configurations in the GT5/6 versions. But from what I read this is, for now, the original tarmac track. I think the community would start a riot if this would be another dirt track
