Gran Turismo 7

Don't forget Snoop Dogg!

I take it back, just drove the F1 car. That scared the **** out of me.

Nothing better than throwing the super formula around.

If you want a poor man's steering wheel. You can use the motion controls on the controller.

To turn it on. When on the world map go to the top left to the GT symbol (or Press the Options button) to open the dropdown. Select "Options" and on the next screen, Press R1 to move over to controllers. Then select Wireless Controller 1P.

Here you will see all the buttons mapped out. Look in the top left and you will see a Blue rectangle for the Steering controls (it will be set to Left Stick).

Click into this and you can swap it to Motion controls. Jump into a race and you hold the controller like a steering wheel.

Finished all the menu books today.

was good fun but have to say I’m a bit underwhelmed by choice of races at each track in terms of prize money. Looks like a serious amount of grinding to be able to afford the more expensive cars. Also noticed no endurance type races. Might be added in future dlcs possibly. Have the licenses and missions to finish now.

Anyone else getting finger fatigue playing this? Had to stop after about an hour today, I think the resistance on the dualsense triggers is too much. I could turn it off but then that’d mean losing out on all the feedback. Maybe it’s time to buy a wheel

Yes. I applaud anyone who can achieve the superlicence golds using a control pad. I very much need a wheel to be as precise as it seems you need to be. But maybe that's cos I'm used to using a wheel on my other racing games. I can even get around the first bend of the first test without sliding into the barrier 😂. I tried the F1 test at leguna seca and got the bronze but miles off the gold time.

I curse fanatec. I bought a CSL DD before Christmas and the week it arrived they announced the playstation variant which I'd have bought instead 🤦‍♂️

I just read earlier that the latest patch introduced a bug that all dirt tracks in the licence tasks equip your car with non dirt tires making it impossible to get gold. That might be it?

Ah ffs. Just took me over an hour to get a bronze on the 3rd license for the dirt section, none of the other (non dirt) sections took more than a few goes. This might explain it!

The dirt tracks were the only ones I was getting gold on. Must be from all the time playing dirt rally.

It's a totally different style of driving. You have to really take weight distribution into account. Tap the brakes to throw all the weight to the front wheels to grip the road , then turn into the corner about 6 feet before the corner, and then quickly flick back the steering wheel and hammer the accelerator to straighten back up.

It feels so at odds with everything they teach you for the driving in track tests. To brake in a straight line, keep the car stable and only accelerate when you are out the other side.

Anyone hate the drifting as much as me !!!@

I think NFS Shift 2 did something similar. I never drove cockpit view in racers before and that blew my mind. The drivers head would turn into corners, bit more difficult but very immersive.

Right stick is accelerate and brake for me with the radar as the default hud to assist me in car positioning.

Any word on when we'll get a patch to put dirt tyres on the cars for licence tests and missions?

I was happy to see a BOP race in the Daily Races, but I don't have one of those cars yet and they do be expensive enough still at this stage. Hit a bit of a wall, the American Cup for the menus is doing my head in. I've a fully modified Focus, the ONLY 4WD 'Merican car I can find that suits the cup, and it still spins out even with 50:50 ratio. Trying anything RWD is just pointless, things spin out on the straights even with racing tyres. So the menus are out for a while. Daily races are just rigged unless you're driving the specific car that is beating all other ones (that concept Nissan in the Trial Mountain, and a perfectly tuned Aqua for the 147bhp one). The missions are hard and I'm not that interested in them anyway, music rally is only ok. I feel like progression is now gone, and it's just down to being able to perfectly tune a specific car and know the track like the back of you hand in order to be competitive online.

Anyone trying the, I think it's called Meeting Place on a track?

Thanks for the warning, oil get right on it...
