Gran Turismo 7

It took me a while to get that drifting event down. However, I didn't use the parking brake at all. Just a brief lift off throttle while turning a little, then get back on throttle and find that balance!

After beating the Le Mans race with my Ford GT I thought I'd give it a shot with my R32 GTR. Had to abort that after discovering that my 550hp GTR gets roughly HALF the fuel mpg of my 700ish hp GT, LOL. Could barely go one lap on a full tank. What in the hell?!

So then I started up again with the GT (let's make some money). This time it decided to rain on me on the 4th lap and I had zero traction. None. UGH. Dropped from 1st to last...1 minute 42 seconds BEHIND the lead by the time i stopped crashing/spinning. It was a mess. Still managed to get back up to 10th - won roughly 100k cr yay hahaha.

Gotta use between fuel trim 4 to 6 to be able to get 3 to 4 laps before refueling.

GTR was too slow if doing that. For the Ford GT, it doesn't matter. I don't trim the fuel at all. 220 mph down Mulsanne is a huge advantage. Pit every 2 laps and still win.

lol. That's one strategy.

I didn't really want to spend money on a car I wouldn't really use, so I stuck with the RX-Vision Stealth car thing that came with the pre-order. I maxed out the ballast, well, 199 since 200 actually made the PP go up, and moved everything to the front in order to not reduce the power so that I can gear it a little longer for the straights. Oddly enough, it made the car handle a little better, and actually gets better mpg. So it's really a one stop race now with this set up.



Although I would highly suggest you try experimenting with fuel trim strategies since the Human Comedy missions heavily rely on it.

Do you guys remember the 24 hour races in GT4 lol.

I mean I'm quite familiar with fuel trim strategies from past versions of Gran Turismo. Additionally, in this instance I didn't buy the GT and/or the modifications for this work. I won the car, and had already performed all modifications for some other races. I believe that super high speed 14 mile oval race was the one. Got the car up to a drag limited 243 IIRC, lol.

Remember? Hell I miss them. BTW GT5 also had 24 hour races. Don't think 6 did though.

Ah, yeah, I forgot we were given the GT. I never planned on using it for anything, so that's why I didn't want to put money into it. LOL.


Man, I don't remember a 24h race, so maybe GT3 was the last GT I had/played before the PS5 came out. haha. I remember either a 3 or 4 hour race in GT2 and the original GT.

Yeah I didn't use the handbrake either. I did get gold eventually, it's like you said with finding the balance. The speed seemed important too. Right around 130kph seemed to work well for me to be able to rock the wheel and feather the gas. 130kph, 6-7k rpm, and a lot of back forth between over-steer and counter-steer seemed to be the magic (for me on the drift corner in 2nd mission menu). The line is important too, you still have to take the turn right but that is the same as grip-driving anyway.

Make her play first for daily bonus to get a car then kick her off and tell her to make you a sandwich.

We split the races. So PP800 or some of Group B races, first 5 laps or so she race. When she pit-in, I take over. Apple to apple race in Trial Mountain, she have 50/50 chance of beating me. Other circuit? Not really, but she’s def a queen of Trial Mountain.

Plus, if I don’t have to grind by myself, why not? lol

That's a great idea to switch during endurance races

I cashed in 3 tickets last night. Care to guess how many times I got the lowest value "prize"? How about...every time.
