Gran Turismo 7

[Fat Thor]

So did the gazoo championship at the weekend, had good fun apart from all the Mazapins and torpedos on the first lap.

Only realised after there is a kers/boost button ……doh

Anyone know which one it is? I am a t300 gte and also use the Ferrari f1 wheel?

I couldn't decide what to do with my Tuscan, so built a Carisma TVR sort of tribute




I know how much so many people on PH love that car

I’ve been using the newest GT500 Skyline thing for Spa, it’s got slightly worse fuel economy than the 787B, but still excellent, and seems to corner even better. I’m doing low 2:15.xxx laps in both, it’s just nice to use something different occasionally

I opted for the M6 today..... Came second, bah !!

Not tried the 787, I like my Lambo

Been thinking about different cars to use may give this one a try.

Gave Spa a go in the 962 - it is a bit easy really, even with power down the thing has so much grip you can just go around the outside or inside of a corner ... Not too bad in the rain either with inters... Oh and it is so light on fuel..

I saw someone had a pic of the F1 car, can that be detuned to sub 800 pp?

Yeah that's me, I didn't do anything funky with the gearing, I got it down that far by removing all the down force and playing around with ballast and power, so it's not actually that quick in my spec. There's probably a much better way of doing it and retaining power.

Mine ends up not handling well and not being much quicker than they are in a straight line when you're on fuel 6. Plus the added disadvantage of not being able to see particularly well at night.

On another note - glad I put some money aside for the new legends cars! F50 woohoo!

Been trying the circuit experience for the high speed ring for a while now, just can't get gold on the full lap. I really suck at these kinds of banked corners (corners 2 & 6). I see what the demonstration does and I just can't seem to replicate it. I'm about 3 tenths away. I have golds on the rest of the circuits i've tried.

Ah yeah night would be a bit interesting - maybe I won't give that a go after all............. SO far the Lambo is the best but the Porsche is fun with the grip..... I may try the 787 too but at the moment I am buying inters, wets and racing hards for all the cars I try at Spa so burned through some cash.... Had enough for an F50 though too

Nice. I got the Nissan engine swap on a 4-star yesterday. Not much else of note lately.

I did the Fuji Touring Car 800 in the rain, massively bodged it up by gambling on slicks at the pit stop and came last. It did get me a 4-star roulette ticket for the daily mileage and ended up winning £1,000,000!

I think I shifted down a gear as I entered the last left banked corner but didn’t brake, try to keep it wide too but you don’t need to fully follow the ghosts line

Haha, it's like the game knew!

Must be due a decent prize soon. Minimum cash for a while now, though yesterday I won....sports suspension....about as useless as it gets.

I've not won any of the other parts you can't buy like carbon driveshafts yet either. How long would you have to play the game before you won carbon driveshafts for everything that they could be fitted to?!

I’ve received a car each of the t two roulette tickets. Something fishy going on? Have they changed the odds this week?

It did make me laugh as I only won about £6000 from the race! I think the GT gods felt sorry for me.

I wasn't aware of these special parts that you cannot buy. Apparently there is also an ultra high rpm turbo for the R32 GT-R, Bugatti Veyron and Ferrari F40

The propshaft one is odd. IIRC you could buy them off the shelf in previous games.

Yes I have actually won the ultra high rpm turbo for the R35, it's for the Nismo version too. I can't remember how much it added but it's a decent chunk of bhp

So actually I have won one thing you can't buy. Rest of the parts have just been stock items

I actually had a gold bar yesterday first one for a long time. Still yet to get any good parts on the spin though.

Anyone knows when the next content update will be could do with new set of missions and some gr1/gr2 races.
