Been having a break from this but since everyone’s talking about the new track being added thought I’d try it out.

Think it’s the first time I’ve ever gone round Watkins Glen but have to say it’s a really enjoyable track, spent about an hour doing the races and circuit experience and thought it’s got a really good flow to it!

Thought I’d try a quick daily race while I was on….BOP and connection still as random as ever.

Agreed on the track got a lovely flow to it fab in a gr3 car tbf. I race on Thursday and connection seemed ok apart from one car lagging everywhere but that could be his connection. Doing manufavture series tonight so see what it's like as that be just for PS4 players. Be interesting too see what connection is like.

I'm waiting for the 787B lump and the GT3 engine. And stock piling SR20's, Hellcat and LS lumps in the process it seems. Could do with another GTR lump actually come to think of it.

I've had three engines out of about 15 tries on the 4 star ticket too.

First try of the manufactures cup and leave the pits straight to a black screen seems the issues are still present. Let's try again for the 2nd race.

Nice. I've only had 1 engine from that but have had half a million credits once and a couple of cars/tuning parts.

I had another session while watching some youtube. I've had five cars, 2.5m+ credits and four engines, plus some parts off the 4 star. Still no second Porsche engine.

I've just been reading a thread on the GT7 bit on reddit, a few people are saying that the GT3 engine was removed as a transplant option before release. No idea if it's true though.

Edit.

After a quick search on Google the main engine swap thread on GTP has people saying the same thing also. Gutted if that's the case

I’m not that familiar with the engine swap options to be honest, are there any that I’m missing here?

30 engine tickets and eventually got a 4 rotor on the 4 star ticket.

I thought there had already been some people that had done the Porsche engine into the camper?

I put it in and fully tuned it, 450bhp 917kg, lol. Almost impossible to drive, bounces around pulling 160mph, lol. I think it was 33bhp as standard.

Definitely possible to get in the 44’s with a bit more practice, the top guys were already in the 42/43’s I think?

Looking forward to some daily races at this one actually.

Since the game was launched I’ve done the ‘daily workout’ pretty much every day. I think I may have missed 4 or 5.
I still have not won an engine. Instead I win invitations to buy cars that I already have in my garage.
I hate this roulette wheel system.
Complete the menus, one of the prizes is an engine.
Ok. Back to the menus this evening.
Arrgh! I have all the cars I need for the extra menus except the mk2 RX7. And you can’t by that until it comes up in the 2nd hand car dealership. So I’m still waiting for my first ever engine stop.

Why does the car collecter level stop at 50? I’ve been there for a while, so there’s nothing to be gained by collecting for its own sake.
