I really wish GT7 had a system like F1 games, where your team gives you the heads up about rain incoming, or before you go into a race it shows the conditions of the track, fuel left, gap between opponents, race strategy. Even if it was only for GR class events.

If the intent is to simulate a long race in a condensed format then the radar distance needs to be expanded. 60 mile range isn't very helpful when a storm moves in at 200 mph, SMH.

FYI my mileage leaders right now are:

Aston Martin DBR91 - use for almost every Spa 1 hour race
R32 GTR (highly modded) - this was the first "fast" car I won that was easy to drive
Ford GT (2006) - use to earn credits in the WTC 700 LeMans 30 min race.

I used it in 2 of the human comedy missions. I never tried using it against Gr4 cars since I know it won't have the reinforce to keep up. Lol

I'm assuming you purchased one online. And not that it was stolen from your house.

I am staying with my parents while working on my house. So I essentially leave at 5:30am and get back at 9:30-10pm. PS5 is in storage. So sad.

Been getting worse than the lowest cash prize in the roulette tickets. One was brakes for a car I don't have nor would want to ever use, and two have been invited for the Euro cars. Blah!

Is this game worth it on a controller? I’m being cheap lol.

But that doesn’t answer my question.

I’m trying to understand if it’s genuinely enjoyable with controller, or a little frustrating as some games can feel that way.

Yeah, it's still worth it. Unless you're planning only drifting in the game, then you're better off with a wheel.

Yes. I switch between wheel & controller. Some nights, it’s easier to just use controller, while some nights it’s easier to race in the wheel.

It’s kinda funny, all the drifting is done by controller for me.


On the side note, if anyone wanna start practicing drifting in GT, Sileighty is in used car market. Highly recommend it for a beginner drifter. It doesn’t require in-depth suspension setup & it just keep going sideways!
