Hmmm, maybe I'm not remembering it right. Lol. Gotta look at it the next time I boot up GT7.

Why is it always updating. I get some time and it`s lost with yet another update.

I understand that can be annoying, but by this point you should know when updates occur. It's almost like clockwork.

I believe the updates are every 3rd Tuesday of the month. iirc, PD said they will be giving updates every month, mainly adding cars, but sometimes tracks (new tracks or different layouts), and eventually the whole selling cars back system.

Ahem, Thursday bruh:paddle:

Hey, I got the "T" part correct. Close enough. LOL

So I did a thing, and Corvette swapped one of my 2018 STI Sport BRZ. Got carried away and did weight reduction up to level 3. Clutch upgrade and I think that was about it. Didn't really touch anything else. Which I might have to actually, because it has so much fckn power that the car looses grip even at 5th.



Laz, you are a guru of vehicle setup, any tips and suggestions?

I maxed it out on the GT86. LOL. I can't remember my settings, but I really had to play around with it. I gotta remember to take a pic of it the next time I boot up GT7. But TBH, I haven't played GT7 in a while (last time was for our last TA race).

LOL. I mean even saying "corvette" engine is a bit misleading. IIRC the only engine swap for the BRZ is the turbocharged drift ready Corvette V8, right?

I regret to say I haven't done much fiddling with my engine swapped cars. Not that I'm lazy, but it's a real PITA to get the tuning right on those cars and spending hours fiddling with those settings (for 1 car, nevermind 20+) isn't really my idea of a good time :bellyroll:

I'm still working on the CEs. 88% complete!

The new batch of engine swappable cars include the LT (?) engine into the kouki 1st gen 86/BRZ. Really difficult to drive maxed out.

ahhhh, my mistake!

No Daily workouts. I really have no interest now.

They got rid of being able to get a ticket every day?

I think there's a bug because of DLS, but I just played yesterday and got a 3 star ticket as usual, after a few days without playing.

Ah. I see. I still haven't played it since the last TA race, so I have no clue what changes happened.

Eh? I played last night and got a 4 star ticket, like I always do.

BTW the latest Time Trial may be a good contender for us to get Gold.

ooooh, what's the Time Trial event this time? I really should just boot up GT7. :bellyroll:

Interlagos with a stock R34 GTR V Spec II Nur on SH tires.

Skyline eh? I'll pop in GT7 for that!

Keep in mind this is for a maxed out car on RS tires. Would have to play with the spring rate and camber for lower PP car on sport tires.

Well, only could manage getting a silver.

And I didn't get the workout ticket either. Back to playing something else.

That's so weird. I'm still getting daily workout tickets.

Anyone else try that new 30-minute Gr.1 race at Road Atlanta? It's stupid hard.

Is it? I thought about doing it few nights back… but didn’t look hard, so didn’t try

Yeah, I mean, I just tried it once if you don't count my lap or two with the R35 GT500 (don't bother trying this race with anything else other than a stupid VGT). I think I finished either in 12th or 13th. Highest I got up to was 7th. I honestly don't know how to get anywhere near podium. I got freaking lapped by the top 3 cars!!!!

Edit: It was 11th place. Not that that is much better. LOL

Oh dang! Now that kinda got me interested… but sadly next 3 wks work plus interview gonna keep me busy. I might try it in the Xmas week. lol

I kept reading about it on reddit. Apparently doing the circuit experience helps and then using the redbull vehicle is the way to go.

NGL, been a while since I played a game on RA. It took almost 20 minutes for me to get used to the track. LOL

I tried it with that free car they gave. I was able to get about 0.75 seconds faster per lap than the McLaren VGT, but fuel economy sucks. I think I had to pit in on either lap 4 or 5, which is 2 or 3 laps sooner than the McLaren. After seeing that, I just exited the race.

I hate races that require VGT to win. Master this real life track so you can then win the race with a fake car!

FTR so far I'm struggling a bit with Road Atlanta. It's much easier to drive in real life, LOL. I think depth perception has a lot to do with it given all the elevation change. And yes, the drop off at T11 is just as brutal as it appears in the game. Last time I was there one of my teammates needed dramamine lol.

Yep, I knew some folks here have probably driven this track IRL and I can't imagine that last turn. I find myself getting off the throttle at the beginning fearing the car will whip out. Can't imagine having the opportunity to experience this track one day. Not even going to try the GR1 race for now.

I'll be racing an E36 M3 there in 2 weeks:thumbup:

Completely forgot about the Mazda VGT. LOL. Turns out this race wasn't hard at all. Hahahaha

Didn't notice the 25th anniversary races and gave them both a try. The first one at Spa, I went in with the GR86 and boy is that thing fast. My mistakes on the rain and going on full wets cost me the race but managed to only have to fuel once, filling to 3/4 of the tank.


Escudo race took a little to get used to, came in 2nd because I made a mistake on the last lap by braking a little too much. Escudo is very twitchy.

Sneak Peaks of the new Gran Turismo Movie. Camera angles look sick.

GT7 is also getting a free update for VR2 gameplay. Welp, time to start saving for a headset.



https://www.polygon.com/23540319/pla...-vr-update-ps5

That is a gamechanger. The biggest issue I have with learning tracks is the lack of depth perception makes it a bit hard to judge speed and braking points on a TV/Monitor. And I already have bad depth perception.

I agree, for example, I haven't tried playing on a controller so I can't speak for GT7, but back a few years ago, NFS SHIFT 2 had this feature where you could use the right analog stick for a free view, this helped at times but kind of hard to fully apply. Having the ability to move your head around for better track perception/anticipation on turns would add a layer of immersion. Im all in for it. For those who can afford it, great.

Ha! Thats kind of cool. I got a cake from the cafe, fireworks, and a car!

I have almost 20 million and can afford the 250 GTO soon from completing all of the circuit experiences, which pay out about 1,200,000 a piece. Still working on the nurburgring, which pays out 5 million but I was off by 1.2 seconds. But anyway, I'm starting to run into a problem where having spent so much effort to make all this money, I no longer want to "spend" it on a given car. Why? I can't use it in any races basically and I could buy 50 others instead.

But 250 GTO...

Edit: went and bought the GTO

I've just realized that the PS5 controller has a gyro mode, lol. So I gave it a shot. Holy shit, once I got used to it, it's like a completely different game now! I played AC on a super high end sim rig ($2000+) and still the car handling in GT7 feel way more realistic to me. Wow, getting a wheel is so tempting now, lol.
