Not completely sure. Is a very low pay race. 5 laps, compared to the 30 min one.
I’m just very surprised I won it with this car. To be fair the Vulcan is, for all intents and purposes, a sort of track car. The fuel consumption just completely sucks.

Dear god Thrustmaster, why you gotta make wheel update so damn hard. Took me over an hr just update. It would be nice if you got an app or Mac compatible… wasted my playing time.

Finally booted up GT7 yesterday for the first time in over a month. I wanted to start the Kei series menu.

Of course there's no race where I can drive a car I already have to win a kei car, and none are available in either the used store or Brand Central.

I'll sell you one of mine....oh wait

Anyone have advice for beating the Lake Maggiore Human Comedy Mission? I've been using the Renault RS.01 and the best I can do is 12th. One stopping on RH tires. I can occasionally put down a 1:58-1:59 time, but the majority of my laps are 2:00's. I can't for the life of me come close to winning.

Advice?

I used Porsche 911 (w 1 stop? Can’t remember) cuz it’s easier to drive without TC than RS.01. iirc you need average lap time of 1:55~56 to beat that race. My average was 1:57 & barely got on the podium.

I find the Renault really easy to drive. It's very stable for me and rotates when I want to. In 3 race attempts I've only spun once by my own fault (don't get me started on the AI's aggression...)

Barely got on podium means you still haven't won the race either?

Kaotic Lazagna · 07-18-2022, 12:47 PM

I can't even remember if I golded that race or not. I remember trying multiple cars tho.

Don’t think you did. I think we had this discussion & you got like 8th? …maybe 4th?

WolfpackS2k · 07-18-2022, 07:21 PM

^^Laz I think you're shown as 12th place on my "Friends" Results. 12th is good enough for Bronze

Sounds about right then. Lol. I did them right when that book came out and just wanted to get the bronze prize car.

Do I want to put myself through that hell again to try to place better? Nah....LOL

ichitaka05 · 07-20-2022, 02:14 AM

Just checked… I took 4th place. I kinda wanna try again to get gold… but kinda don’t want to lol

Also Thrustmaster shift knob came. It’s unique feel, but not bad. It’s something I gotta get used to. My wife tested it out & lapped pretty decent time, but def she’s faster on the controller.

Remember that there is no need to rev match using shift knob. Saves some time. Just gotta be fast when compared to using shift paddles. Feels kind of wrong using the paddles when I know the car uses a stick lol.

That f*cking final Super License test with the 917K

. Decided last night to give it another shot (got Silver months ago). Shaved 2 seconds off but I'm still 1 1/2 seconds away from Gold. Spent about an hour trying to beat it...only completed a lap twice without crashing.
