There could be as much of a difference of 15 seconds between the top qualifier and the slowest person in the A/S races I'm in. I remember when GT7 first came out and in GT Sport, the delta was more around 5 seconds. So between that, and using cars I actually like, and not just the dominating car in the class, it's proving to be quite challenging.

I don't even have PSN, so I can't access the online lobbies or the championships. I can do the time trials though. Helps getting 1-2 mil every couple weeks

Went back to the missions and gold all but the Human Comedy (or what ever the endurance race ones is called). Might try getting all gold for that one.

I think I need 3 to get all gold. Just looked up the prize car since I couldn't remember, and I don't know if I really want to waste a minimum 3 hours of my life for a DB5. Haha

yeah I hear ya. I actually really enjoyed the kei car challenge once I figured out how to be "fast" in a kei car. That's what I love about this game, they seem to have figured out the essence of the driving experience quite well and once the way each car has to be driven clicks, it's so much fun.

I think that's one of the races I didn't get gold in. haha. I might give it another go if my 13B Cappuccino still meets the race requirements.

yeah don't drive them like you do other cars, just keep literally chuckin them into the corners. I was gaining seconds per lap, finished at least like a minute ahead. Also if you don't end up using that Cappuccino, and some other car instead, do a low rpm turbo and shift early, as soon as the turbo runs out of puff

That's what I do with stock cars and non high RPM turbos. Haha. Also saves gas. I try to reference the ECU adjustment graph to see where it's best to shift a car at.

I was messing around in the online hangout for the special stage track last night doing drag races against other people using the LS swapped Miata.

Pretty funny to see the Miata going 237mph with the rear suspension pushed all the way down and the front raised up. Fun way to fuck around and waste time.

Did that Kei car mission. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the 13B Cappuccino down to 400 PP, so I just used a normal, modded one. Tied someone here with 25 laps. lol.
