Lol, I thought your total would be somewhere in the billions! Is it a glitch?

it restarted to 0 when it got to 2.3B something like that. @Famine know better then me about that stuff but the credits spent on cars still says 0 amount.

EDIT - I found the post from last year that explains this.

Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

I don't remember PD ever reacting in any way to a new Forza release And as is tradition, they won't. They have never even remotely been THAT interested in what Forza is doing no matter how much people want it to happen. They just don't operate like that.

In news, I managed to upload a Gran Turismo 7 short, this is when I was grinding Hypercar Parade with one of my Diablos. This is the Trail Mountain race. Remember to subscribe for more content I plan on uploading.

 
I can't actually tell - are any of the newly-added Pokal wheels center-lock designs? Or do they have a central cap more akin to the BBS RS?

The situation with invites is so bad, I managed to get an Enzo in a 6-star roulette before I get a single Ferrari invite. I really don't understand why they decided to implement this system of invitations in the worst way possible.

My last three Marathon tickets - in three straight days mind you - are as follows:

4*: Ferrari invite
4*: Ferrari invite
4*: Lambo invite

No solace to those who are waiting for them, but I am not. Two Ferrari invites in back-to-back days, followed by a Lambo. The invite system is broken; always has been and always will be simply by definition (aka, so long as the system is around it will suck).

Thanks, Kaz.

Mitsutoshi Sato - Flatout


Sorry if it's already been done by someone.

Actually, I had this idea where the pre-race music used is Flatout from GTHD/GT5P before update 1.49, but on High Speed Ring, but I didn't go through with the idea, unfortunately.

The DR5 in game are the centerlock as seen by the nut. Same as the Porsche RS nut.

Are been waiting for the Ferrari invite so I can buy my last invite-only car.

In the meantime, I've bought 3x 20-milllion unicorns from the LCD.

And I don't grind.

Did some grinding on Hypercar Parade, and of course uploaded some gameplay from yesterday onto YouTube.

Here's the link to the video for viewing at anytime:

Nice driving!! Also, I completely forgot about these visible braking assists. I might want to use the braking one since I suck at the new physics.

Thank you so much. I've been playing the Gran Turismo games for many years and still enjoy them today. I hope you enjoyed the video. I'm starting to embrace these new physics now.
 
So, completed my second car livery and have imported several Suit liveries I shared in Sport (completely forgot I could do that). One thing I'd like to ask is what is the limit on liveries for Helmets, Suits and cars. Like what is the total number before you can't make more?

@wowbaggerBR What's exactly so funny?

I just realised Kaz never posted silhouettes this time. Previously he always has done, even when we've known the update contents in advance.

He didn't do that when PS Store once beat him to the punch in the GT Sport era (this was the S2000/GTO update iirc).

I thought something like 1000 liveries was the max.

People have been asking for the end of the invite system almost since the release of the game. And it makes even less sense now with cars like bugatti chiron and aston martin valkyrie coming to the game and being buyable.
But for some reason PD just wont listen to the community on this subject. Its even more angering when you realize they actually unlocked the invite cars for 1 month when gt7 released, meaning they can do it, they just dont want to.

It isn't just the Bugatti Chiron and Aston Martin Valkyrie, but also even the Porsche 918 Spyder. All three of them don't need brand invitations.

Brand invitations are just some terrible mechanic that just doesn't make any sense, or is just implemented so poorly.
 
Is there an online source of the current PPs of GT7 cars? Kudosprime is great but as far as i know the PP values are old.

That poor mechanic makes players come as often as possible to do a daily marathon hoping to get the famous invite they are lacking.

I despise it, but from Sony/PD's point of view it is a (bad) way to maintain playerbase engagement.

TT's and weekly events are a hundred times better way to keep players engaged, they should drop the bad invite system now that those "new" features are available.

Yes. It would be much better to have an option to win invitation or even car requiring invitation on those weekly events. Like special car prize.

The second one seems better than invitation alone since players who got invitation cars wouldn’t mind getting second expensive car.

I really don't understand why they didn't just add the invite cars to the hagartys legends cars rotation.

Now we have 2 content walls

1. Legendary dealer rotation
2. Invites

They only needed one mechanism IMO

UCD is the same, just in smaller scape for its bigger size.
To me there is no reason to make cars available on random encounter.
It is not like they are temporary buffs to a player character or anything remotely similar.
 
The invitation system was an experimental feature. In concept it's not a bad idea, but the way it's been implemented isn't that great.

If they had a "Brand Affinity" system like Forza Motorsport 4, where you level it up by completing races with said brand's cars, having a non-expiring invitation to buy otherwise locked cars once you've reached a high enough level would be a far better way of doing what I think Polyphony were trying to achieve.

Because the invitation cars aren’t considered classics or legends. They’re all relatively new.

I've believed for some time that even PD knows this, otherwise various post-launch cars like the 918, Valkyrie, and Chiron would similarly be invite-only.

EDIT: In the UCD, what colors are the Volvo and the Sileighty? I'm curious, since I think they're lower-mileage examples.

Oh, you wonder why?

To entice you playing the game for sole purpose of roulette tickets and such.

Pretty pathetic system honestly, as if game itself can't provide content, which it certainly does, albeit could've done it better by not relying on masses that play what they've given, rather playing what they want (Looks at GT7 career structure vs GT4)

This is actually the only sane explanation behind it. Doesn't make the system any better, but at least makes some sense. I definitely find myself doing daily mileage pretty much just to get that invite and sometimes I do open the game just to have another chance, so it kinda works. Still weird, they got rid of all other casino-locked things in the game. First they introduced part and engine only tickets, which increased chances of getting this stuff, and then they just completely scrapped it and made it purchasable. I guess after all the complaints they decided to fix other roulette-exclusive stuff and left only one. Would explain why this system is so incredibly bad (surely they can't think this is the best way to implement exclusive invite-only vehicles, this thread alone has millions of better ideas) and why we didn't even get at least a ticket with only invites. Also, looking at all those "I can't get that one invite" messages making me wonder if they actually coded it so one random invite is almost impossible to obtain.
 
Well, I did some racing again recently, and I uploaded this YouTube video of when I was driving my custom Nismo 400R '95 on the Nürburgring GP/D doing the Japanese 4WD Challenge 600. How do you guys think I drive in GT7?

I did slip up in one part of the video though.
