Really hoping we get a new city/street circuit this year to give some more variety.
Technically circuits like Grand Valley, Alsace, Trial Mountain etc use public roads, (even if Alsace is more like the Millbrook Proving Ground's Alpine Circuit) but it's not the same as having a circuit in an urban environment.
Tokyo Expressway is the best we've got right now, but even then that's more of a highway than street circuit.

What I'd like to see is a more traditional street circuit in the style of e.g. Long Beach, Adelaide, Rome Circuit etc.
Even if it's a brand new PD original, I'd be very interested to see what they could come up with, and where it would be set.

I'd still really hope for them to create city tracks based on FIA GTC/GT World Series venues. Which means tracks like:
Salzburg (new)
Circuito de Madrid (returning)
Las Vegas (returning) - but with new circuit layouts as opposed to a drag strip
Cote d'Azur (returning)
Paris (returning) - Opera Paris only, as George V Paris is now inaccessible in real life, much like the Seattle Circuit
New York (returning)
Tokyo R246 (returning)
Sydney (new)

Another idea would be for them to bring back Special Stages Routes 5 and 11 (Special Stage Route 11 bordering the Santa Monica Pier would really be nice), but have it set in Los Angeles. This would make sense as Special Stage Route X is in San Diego.

Uhh Salzburg would be really great, and Paris and Côte d’Azur are a must too
 
Close to two weeks after update 1.29 I'm feeling confident in saying that the Credit rewards from gift tickets have been lowered. Before the update, the most common Credits amount I was getting from 4-star tickets was 30k, now it's 10k. The same goes for 3-star tickets. While I was getting 10k before the update, now it's almost always 5k.

Anyone else have had a similar experience?

i don't think you're mistaken - 4 stars used to be 30k minimum (at level 50) but i have gotten 10k a few times. i hope we are wrong though, because that would be extremely petty.

i had been thinking about the 'collector level' recently, and how they likely blocked the levels above 50 for now because it would mean higher roulette payouts. i don't think 50 is the highest it was meant to go, because it can be achieved after owning a small percentage of the cars. maybe changing the roulette payouts is a way for them to open those higher levels up while doing everything in their power to maximize in-game purchases.

anyways, it makes me sad thinking about how much thought goes into 'not letting people make too much free money', this game would be an all-timer if that wasn't a consideration for every decision.

No, it's still just as random as before.



Odds are designed to be always against you but sometimes you luck out - I got a 500k and a decent car last week. I also got 5k and 10k so not all good.

I seem to be getting less useless parts from standard tickets but that's just my experience.

I've had the opposite, two cars I don't have and a million credits in the last 4 tickets.

I got 500.000 credits two times and a car in the last 10 days.

Is there a list of all the cars that can add a supercharger? It doesn't seem like there are that many.
Click to expand...
About 95% of the American cars, a few Japanese tuners like the MX-5 and 86, and then a few oddballs like the Crown and V8 Vantage. Might put it into a spreadsheet one day.
 
How is the negative camber being switched to 3 on every car glitch still there? Surely they play their own game, have play testers or at the very least the pros who attend events with PD staff would have said something by now...

I've never scientifically tested it, but yes the refill rate appears to be the same.

The general refill rate is based on the game settings for that race, whatever PD set it to, so I imagine it will just convert the same rate for different units.
 
Hey all,
Noticed something today. Not sure if already discussed but the 550 PP Clubman event at High Speed Ring could be a decent quick grind for credits. Not as high yield as the Big Four, but it can still yield about 780k an hour.

An average lap of 1:23 in any car will do, though I recommend the Radical SR3. The AI are just fast enough to give you some pressure so it's not super boring, but not so fast that you'll lose CRB.

CRB is ~ 53k and you can potentially run 14 races in an hour to get up to that 700k.

550 PP Clubman event at High Speed Ring

Not even concerning payouts, this event grew on me. I didn't like the High Speed Ring but it is genuine fun to try to win, beginning with 550 PP, going down gradually to 500 PP in FR, FF, new, old, just any weird car you have sitting in you garage. Smashing the competition in a Jaguar E-Type was a special kind of fun.

The Lister Storm would definitely be in Gr. 3, sold in Hagerty. The version depicted in the previous games, all the way up to GT6, is actually an FIA GT2 version of the car.

It would be incredible fit together with supra gt500c skyline and mclaren f1 gtr. We could make great 90s races. I hope this is sign that it will be in GT7 sooner or later.

As soon as it shows up i will buy 3 of them or something xD

Or alternatively an engine swapped Mini Cooper where the challenge lies in keeping this front wheel drive war chariot from ripping holes in the pavement.
 
Has anyone done the clubman cup +, mini race at goodwood lately?
Its become much harder to win, especially without nitrous which im not fond of.

Nitrous is especially illegal (as with wide body kits) for these types of races. Apparently you need to have a good racing line and to hold your own against your opponents who will try and make a move, so you need to be defensive when you're out in front.
