But even now, in game nonetheless STILL gets me amazed & excited!

It came blue, so painted to iconic Rosso Corsa (Ferrari red)

It looks the best though.

They definitely cycle. I believe it's the same for everyone (system wide cycle, not individual based on logging in, activity, etc). The current Group C race car up there from Porsche is pretty wicked (well was in GTS, I don't own it in GT7) in its own right. The 787B was in the dealership less than a month ago, so my guess is you won't see it back up there for another 1-2 months.

Which doesn't really matter much since there are zero Gr1 races on offer at the moment.

Set aside $2,500,000 for the day it returns.

Well, I was planning more of a joy ride in arcade mode. If it drives anything like the Assetto Corsa one, I wouldn't really jump into a GR.1 race right away. What kills the AC one is the sound mixing, it almost sounds like the old Need for Speed Hot Pursuit games where all cars sounded the same with a little distortion in between.



I guess I'll have to make do with the Vulcan for a bit.

Lol, I snagged it for 1.75m. The R92CP was 2.5m at the time, which I also snagged.

It does cycle as well since I was able to snag the Superbird this time around. I think it came out during the first week of launch.

Dumbass Fraga spun me out on a straight in Spa!

Forgot to mention, you can’t wide body Testa, but you can wide body Aventador, wtf w that BS?!?! At least Aventador is decently easy to drift. You can’t fully do RWD. Closest is 5:95, so you gotta fully commit to the corner or it’ll understeer, but overall fun drift car.

Probably because Ferrari, even in games, allows very little things to be done to their vehicles.

Lamborghini on the other hand, don't give a F.



To be honest, I'm even surprised Toyota allowed their vehicles to be used for this game. They've been acting like wimps recently regarding their vehicles used for racing games. Guess it makes it okay if it's on a track instead of the streets.

Catastrophe for me at Spa also. GT500 GTR on hards, stock except mid-turbo. I turned the difficulty to hard to make it interesting.. didn't expect the AI's fast pace in the rain. I was able to get into the lead by around 3 laps and made a healthy gap before first pit. Timing was great as the tank was going empty just as the rain came. And it POURED.

My lead went from 14 to 6 sec between pit stop and 3 laps of slow pace on wets. No idea how they found the grip they did. Eau rouge and maybe the back straight were the only places I could make any time on anyone.

I hit a puddle and spun on the back straight at around 30 mins and it was over, never saw the lead again. I managed 2nd because the one guy made an extra stop.

I did the race a few times on easy with the same car/setup and had zero offs. Maybe not AS rainy. Definitely could have won if I managed to stay on the road.

I'll try it again later today. I'm comparing the McLaren to the R34. It's funny how it is using 1 or 2 psi for the turbo whereas the R34 is at least 24 psi.

@ichitaka05, any advice for drifting? You seem to enjoy it lol. I just want help for the Mission drift challenges. I'm stuck on the 2nd one with the Mustang. I am not good and cannot gold it for my life.

It sounds awesome. But I don't have any races for which to use it!

I got the R92CP as well. That's good to know. Hopefully the F1 will be back soon!

I've been running everything in the game on Hard so I don't know otherwise, but I had a very entertaining and difficult win at Spa last night. For the last stint I went with full wet tires, which I realized after 2 laps was the wrong choice. My very big lead started to evaporate, which was fine I could manage the bleeding with the time left. However, over half the field of AI were working on unlapping themselves from me since I was nursing my tires. Big problem there is they'd be all over my ass through the sections on which they're really fast...but still slow through Eau Rouge and a few other spots. So I kept repassing them, and then yielding back to them. And they didn't give a damn about keeping it clean. Super frustrating to be dodging lapped cars when 2nd place was less than 7 seconds behind me.

Yes! This caused a few of my offs. Unfortunately most were just me overdriving trying to make up time. I don't usually do that, but then I almost never drove that hard in the wet in any game until now.

Yeah this game forces you to drive aggressive by design it seems. (Starting a half a lap down to begin with and only a few laps to work with). Although I did notice some of the bigger (maybe newer) races are much more closely spaced. Like the big dollar race at Tokyo Expressway is a rolling start but double-wide staggered just like a real grid. It made me very excite. I don't think I have a good car for it yet though.

I didn’t know there was a drift mission in the game lol Before I left for work, I did quickly do that mission. Took me 2 try to get gold & 5 try to get the drifting I was satisfied w lol

I did save the reply & shared it, so you should be able to see the replay. Mostly faint to get the car sideway, let the gas to get control & rest was power drift. If you just want to pass, you could prob enough points w just power drift midway through the corner. Don’t need to speed into the corner, either way Mustang got enough power to do burnout from stop anyways.
