I really only used it to buy the R34. But I stupidly decided to buy the GT350 and the F40 from the legends dealership thinking I could keep grinding at the High Speed Ring. There goes that plan...

Yeah I pre-ordered but I didn't spring for deluxe. That did give 100k cr that I spent on a used WRX but that only got me through about 5 Café Books worth of "cheating" before it wore off, lol.

I wanted to explain what happened in this update.

Immediately before the release of the 1.07 update, we discovered an issue where the game would not start properly in some cases on product versions for the PS4 and PS5.

This was a rare issue that was not seen during tests on the development hardware or the QA sessions prior to the release, but in order to prioritize the safety of the save data of the users, we decided to interrupt the release of the 1.07 update, and to make a 1.08 correctional update.

This is the reason for the delay.
My sincere apologies for the late report to everyone.

Also in this update, some event rewards have been adjusted. I wanted to also explain the reasons for it and our plans going forward.

In GT7 I would like to have users enjoy lots of cars and races even without microtransactions.
At the same time the pricing of cars is an important element that conveys their value and rarity, so I do think it’s important for it to be linked with the real world prices.
I want to make GT7 a game in which you can enjoy a variety of cars lots of different ways, and if possible would like to try to avoid a situation where a player must mechanically keep replaying certain events over and over again.

We will in time let you know the update plans for additional content, additional race events and additional features that will constructively resolve this.
It pains me that I can’t explain the details regarding this at this moment, but we plan on continuing to revise GT7 so that as many players as possible can enjoy the game.
We would really appreciate it if everyone could watch over the growth of Gran Turismo 7 from a somewhat longer term point of view.

Most of you guys are probably further than this but I noticed that if you blow through the I-B license (just bronze don't sweat gold yet) the Supra you get is a 'road car' but it's like full race suped-up works awesome for Café Book 32 (The Turbo Challenge Surpa ones).

I didn't even notice it said "road car" for the type. lol. It's the same Gr.4 Supra that I was using in GT Sport. The gold reward is a disappointing Taycan. I literally said "WTF" out loud when I got it.

[StraightOuttaCanadaEh]

I was excited to try the Taycan, I was kinda like "alright let's hear them out and give it a chance". Got smoked by everything. The thing is heavy, utter pig in the corners, does not stop or turn lol

The Castrol Supra GT500 is a monster!!!!!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

The 'Ring at night is crazy hard, but the graphics look so realistic. Headlights on that Castrol Supra suck, btw.

I wonder when they'll put the Penzoil R34 in the used car/legends lot...

Thrustmast T248 came today. I only paid $20 more than G29, so can’t complain. NLR GT-Lite should be coming Thursday.

I'm so tired of the race series I'm currently stuck in. It's after the menu with the Supras. Maybe #34?

I've been stuck since like Wednesday or Thursday. Can't seem to do better than 4th or 5th place. Have tried multiple different cars with different setups and tuning profiles. Debating about switching back to Normal AI difficulty... But don't feel like giving up lol.

I'm still on #33 but I have been playing Project Zomboid this weekend on the PC with my friend.

It's getting ridiculous. I think if the lineup of cars changed at least from race to race it wouldn't be as bad. But starting at 16th place every time is rough.

Been playing little by little. Only have completed the first license tests until I have to get a higher one. Upgrading the HDD to a SATA SSD on the PS4 was a a great choice which has improved the quality of the gameplay experience.

I had a lot of fun with the FF hot-hatch menu, the reward Renault after getting the B license was a blast to drive.
