It's blowing my mind that these are still basically unobtainable.

Closest I came to buying one was dec 2020. Had the "gotta get the kids the thing for xmas" bug. I had it in cart and lost it during checkout multiple times and snapped out of it. Wanted it for GT7 which at that point still had a "1st half 2021" ETA, dirty snakes. Thank god I failed because GT7 was honestly the only thing it would have been used for and that didn't come out for 15 more months!!

Meanwhile, the only place in the whole game that my regular PS4 stumbles is rounding T10 and heading down to T11 at Spa. Seems like it doesn't like how much of the world can be seen at that moment and lags/tears.

Electronic parts are a nightmare the last couple years. I have simple parts that are commonly used across a lot of industries that have 50-70 week lead times. Just spools of extremely common molex wire terminals I am not going to get until next February.

My pit strategy and A LOT of luck got me the gold in this mission! The leader, who finished 3rd, made some terrible tire choices in the last 8 laps by pitting 3 or 4 times going from wets to wets to IM, and finally back to slicks.

Speaking of GR.3, I did some of the changes you suggested and worked out great. I've also learned to stay patient, most important lol.

Good to hear! Patience definitely is important.

It's been a long week for me so far, so at this rate, I may not make it this Saturday's race. I didn't even play the other day, and I usually can do one grind race each day, but I was that tired that I just went to sleep instead of play after work.

Has anyone noticed whether the marathon roulette ticket star-count has anything to do with consecutive logins? Like every consecutive day you login and do your marathon, you get one start higher ticket?

I am guessing not based on a quick google search, but it would make a lot of sense if they did it. A little like GT6 login bonus, which I'm sure they'd never do for GT7. I ask because that's what happened from Friday-Sat-Sun. I received 1, 2 then 3 star. Probably coincidence. Haven't been able to get on there since.

Yeah I skipped a day and got a 1-star today...

Nope, it's random. I was playing since day one and it eventually started giving me 1 and 2 star tickets. I had to skip a day, and the next day I got a 4 star ticket. Eventually back to giving 1 and 2 star tickets. Once again, skipped a day since I met up with a friend and had work the next day. Got a 6 star the next day. This latest time I missed a day, I only got a 2 star.

The stars themselves are weird since I've gotten 2k credit on a 4 star, and I think I got a gold bar in a 2 star before.

I've also played around with getting as close to that 26 miles after ending a race, and as well as doing an endurance race. Those don't seem to affect how many stars are given either. So who knows...
