Don't forget. If you enter the manufacturer championship you will get lent a gt3 and gt4 car from a manufacturer of your choice. Really? Why have I yet to come across these races Just changed the force feedback settings for my G29 wheel. Max torque at 3 and sensitivity down to 2. Much better. A bit of rumble from the wheel when in a slide now and can actually feel it go. This was in a Porsche 911 with TC which I don't usually run set at 1 Drifting is much harder on the T300 than the controller BTW. Just can't snap it out of an oversteer like you can on the controller. I did manage to gold the first drift mission, but took ages and I did it on second attempt with the Dual Sense. I hope they fix it. |

I don't think it's broken just much harder with a wheel. Same with the rally stuff, I have to reduce the wheel rotation to about 400 for them but can't stretch to the handbrake button very easily so have to attempt the scandi flick to get it turning. Normally finish up just using the pad.

I know I'm British and therefore genetically interested in the weather but the game really needs to add a forecast before you start a long race just so you know to may need to swap out slicks for inters or full wets. Especially important if you're about to drive a car that you've not paid the extortionate amount of money on rain tyres.
You get a bit of info from the pre-race screen if it's sunny or not but a bit more information would be nice, especially with a night race and they tend not to be that sunny then.
Accidentally cocking up my PP limit by building a car with inters on so I couldn't change them to soft racing tyres has paid off at least.

Yeah, that's caught me out a few times.

Driving on slicks, the sky darkening and the moisture indicator slowly rising is like hearing the opening bars of the Jaws theme for inducing dread.

So there's literally no sense in hoping for anything more from the gacha boxes right? Everytime I always get the lowest amount of credits. It's definitely skewed to give you the shittiest reward, but the better ones are possible. I got 500,000 the other day. |

Some of the speech bubble people will tell you if its going to rain if you click on them before the race, but it should just straight tell you. I get that the dynamic weather might mean that it won't actually rain but just a hint at the possibility would be fine |

The most I've had is 100k.

Dunno if they've changed the probability but I just got a nitro for some Mazda worth 100k off a 3 star one then 500k off a 4 star one. That's the second 500k I've got.

Which reminds me, what does the rectangle with a car brand on it get you? |

Ive picked up a couple of underwhelming cars recently. Would rather the 5k tbh, given I can't sell any cars.

One thing I hope that doesn't get changed is the clean race bonus is a lot easier to get than in Sport, I sometimes get that and I can't quite believe it.

Yeah I’ve slammed into the back of someone breaking before, or scraped past them with little room, and still got clean race bonus. It’s rather odd. |

Reverse course abominations aside, I think that Daytona Infield Raceway might be the worst excuse for a race track on the planet. It’s awful.

Isn't an engine rebuild just a way to reverse engine upgrades?

Then I guess the tuning shop option would become rebuild & swap. www.gtplanet.net/gt7-engine-swaps-confirmed-20220305/ |

Rebuild and swap are two different things.

Sorry I don't get what you're trying to say. It's two different options in the menu. They don't have anything to do with each other.

Anyway, back to the game, did I have to buy a truck to play menu 22 (or thereabouts) or did I miss something somewhere? I just took the path of least resistance.

Did my first big race with pit stops last night. The race leader held on without pitting until the last lap and I went past him with my ice skates on and managed to wobble my way around the final lap for the win.
Loving the Ford GT race car by the way, sticks to the road way better than the road car
This is truly one of those games that's a masterpiece when I'm doing well and an unfair pile of imbalanced shit when I'm losing

Had a great race in the Renault Clio daily race last night . I think I started 6th in the grid and came 2nd but it was a battle between myself and first place for 2 laps of it . They msged to say what a great race it was . Not a bad community online when people aren’t punting you off into a spin!
I’m currently rated D/S online . Does it take long to move up the rankings ?
