Gran Turismo 7

Lol, I wouldn’t put it past them!

So how many hours grinding would you need to buy the mclaren f1 at 18,500,000? 50 hours? Or you could just hand over €185. Absolutely outrageous and indefensible.

100% Yes to 1, and I’m pretty sure 2 is a yes also. Have a GTO Twin Turbo souped up to the last and I’m having great craic winning tough races with it. There’s a limit to how far you can take a car, of course, you’ll never be able to race a Viper against proper super cars no matter how much you put into it but there are plenty of upgrades available to take weaker cars up a few classes.

Awesome, just got it. Won't be attending much time on it with Elden Ring but hopefully we can get some online races just for boards going. My psn is in my sig of you want to add to compare times.

Ah the top 10 friends listing on my game.

Tried the multiplayer just in lobbies and if the host quits it's over which is not great obviously. Was doing a 5 lap race and host quits on the last lap after getting in a tangle with another player.

Next lobby host quits after 2 laps so we're all kicked again. I get the frustration when you get hit by other players but just quitting like that and the race ends sucks.

Hard to put the game down when ye start I'm finding,constantly just thinking ill just do one more race....

Favourite cars so far are the R32 Skyline and the Camaro ZL1 1LE. Really enjoying both of those.

I got a million on it the other day. Other than that I only win 5,000 or parts I'll never use.

CMP--23 is my PSN. Count me in for some boards racing 👍

There was gold bars. I never counted them though.

Have it turned off now thanks. Just turned it on for a quick spin so was annoying. After the music race, i turned off steering assist, braking assists and racing lines. Kept corner indicators and braking area just until i get used to them. The assists are weird, no idea of I'm driving or the AI, much better with them off and actually learning.

Cockpit view is brilliant and my Demio actually feels fun to drive. Any tips starting off? Try looking for specific races that will complete menus or start on the licenses? Maybe a mix of the licenses start getting repetitive trying to get gold?

Man the amount of sleep I've been losing out on because the game is just too much fun. Since I finished the menus last week I was planning to play it a bit less and get back to my Horizon Forbidden West playthrough, but every time I turn the Playstation on I plan to just quickly do the marathon mileage before switching over, and end up just playing GT7 for my entire session. I'm working my way through the missions and the remaining world circuit races and dabbling in sport mode. I've got one win in sport mode, with my trusty Mini I upgraded heavily during my menu playthrough and now power restricted to meet the requirements. I've had less success in the faster cars, with one third place in my BMW M3 GT4. I always enjoy the road cars more, looking forward to events with some faster road going cars.

I do think they've missed a trick with the amount of single player events after the menus. Surely it would be next to no work for them to add an endurance race to each world circuit for example, along with a few more car categories. The game already has all the content required and you can DIY it with custom races, but it seems a bit of a waste not to have more curated events. For example the first 30 minute race during the missions with increased fuel use was excellent. I found myself adjusting my car by reducing engine power and turning down downforce to eliminate drag, while reducing weight too to get myself to a car that ran well and was fuel efficient. A bunch of events like that in World Circuits would be amazing.

I've had Wheelstand Pro and a GT Omega Apex at this point,Wheelstand folds up smaller but has a pole in the middle,which some people won't like and is slightly less steady than the GT Omega Apex. Apex does take up more room when folded and requires more effort to fold up.

Both are pretty heavy with the wheel attached but I'd say the Wheelstand Pro is a bit lighter overall.

Personally I like the Apex better but if space is a major concern for storage the Wheelstand would be a better bet

Was that not always the case, even back to GT1? You had to earn your way to the good cars. it took months to get to anything really exotic.

Are you supposed to use your invitation to buy a car ? I have one for a Bugatti Veyron for €2m. But I have no races which I intend to use it on. Also have a invitation for a Lamborghini. Can’t remember it’s price. I have €2m banked so far and regularly use it to get upgrades of current cars. Can I just ignore the invitation?
