So, another annoying thing I've noticed is that it appears boost is still used even with the Boost option off. I just did a 5 and 10 lap Gr.3 race around the Daytona Tri-oval against the AI and there's just a bunch of weirdness going on.

First of all, the lead car always rockets ahead of all the others despite BoP being on. It's even faster than the same car farther back in the grid.

Then, in the 5 lap race, after 3 laps of the leader consistently pulling away and pretty close racing with the others, as soon they cross the line to enter the 4th lap, they shoot backward and fall behind fast (or I shoot forward?). I also start to catch up to the leader despite it at no point going slower than me.

Lastly, when I finished, the cars behind got a speed boost like my force field turned off.

No matter what you try, it doesn't look like you can get an "authentic" race with the AI. Not even GTS did this in its custom races (but did in career mode).

Any tip(s) for Golding the "endurance" mission on high speed ring ? I still finish 2nd 🤔.

Keep an eye on the weather map, and remember you can change its range, the ai will pit a few times so you just need to stay on track as long as possible, I finished a minute ahead of 2nd after a few infuriating attempts 🤣

Got a 6 star ticket from Daily Workout and received goldbars worth 500,000cr. A nice change.

What did you do before earning it ? was it an endurance race or something ?

I wonder if there will be a patch tomorrow with new payouts. Or will it be next friday. What I see is that PD updates GT7 on fridays.

Yes, rubber-banding is always there. I wonder what boost does. :D

I personally received the 500.000 cr gold bars with a 4 star ticket for daily workout. Just did the usual grinding with the Trial Mountain Cup

So disappointing that when you buy a used car the oil isn't bad. That's always been a cool thing about the used car dealership in GT games and for whatever reason they don't have that detail in GT7

Every used car I purchased has needed Oil, Engine and body services. So what are you on about

Mine were green but only Normal. Not Excellent

Was it all your used cars, or specific ones? I’ve not bought loads, but they’ve all been in excellent condition (and still are!). Be interesting to see if any that are in the UCD today are ‘normal’ to compare against mine and others UCD’s

I'm confused, you say green but normal. Were they green or yellow?
Yellow --> normal
Green --> excellent

All my used cars were green in all 3 departments. No maintenance needed. Green is excellent and it gives the maximum horse power an PP (I guess for both oil and engine, don't know about PP with rigidity maintenance).

This is why I’m not buying expensive used cars in colors I don’t want. Vital details often get lost by applying a paint chip.

I have learned my lesson and I will not repeat the same mistake 😅




@MagpieRacer Yeah, I know, I've seen it in real life. But in the game it is shown as black / silver in livery editor (after repainting) but in race it has the same red / beige interior as it had before painting and it's weird to me. This must be a bug.

V6 Clio around the nordschleife is a bit of a handful on stock tyres! :D

Think I'll get some sport mediums as a 'track day' equivalent.

Yo, are there any events in World Circuits that actually require a Super License? And I know more events are coming to World Circuits - and we know this just from the Jimmy Fallon build - but I'm wondering if maybe we'll get more menus, too. I'd say there's still tons of potential for certain collections, even if we continue to largely have collections featuring road cars.

Here were a few somewhat realistic ideas I had for menus. For what's considered "realistic," I think that if we get more menus, they'll continue to largely be based around various road cars, and more specifically, based on road cars you can get from either Brand Central and/or Used Cars - not Legendary Cars. Similarly, I highly doubt that any reward cars will be invite-only models. This is especially since you can always buy at least one car featured in a menu from the UCD while you're progressing through it.

"Le Mans 2016"
Toyota TS050
Audi R18 '16
Porsche 919

"Dodge"
Dodge Viper GTS '02
Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe '06
Dodge Viper GTS '13

"FIA GT3"
AMG Mercedes SLS-AMG GT3
BMW Z4 GT3
Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3

"Lamborghini"
Lamborghini Huracan
Lamborghini Aventador '11
Lamborghini Murcielago

"Toyota"
Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST205)
Toyota MR2 GT-S
Toyota Prius G

"NSX"
Honda NSX Type R '92
Honda NSX Type R '02
Honda NSX '17

I especially think a Lamborghini and Dodge menu would be likely, considering that the current menus include ones based on these two automakers' rivals, Ferrari and Chevrolet/Ford, respectively. In addition, the reason that I only included Vipers in the proposed "Dodge" menu is because the "Chevrolet" menu that's in-game only consists of Corvette models.

There are also multiple menus we did not see in the final build of the game, but I think could come in updates if more menus are, well, on the menu. This would include a collection based on kei cars, as well as the Toyota 86.

There could even be a few more added:

“Super GT”
Honda NSX Concept-GT GT500 ‘16
Lexus RC F GT500 ‘16
Nissan GT-R GT500 ‘16

“GT Le Mans”
Aston Martin DBR9 GT1 ‘10
Ford GT Race Car ‘18
Porsche 911 RSR (991) '17

And with a couple of new additions to the car roster, we could even have completely new sets?

“90s GT1”
AMG Mercedes CLK-LM '98
BMW McLaren F1 GTR Race Car ‘98
Toyota GT-One (TS020) ‘99*

I like older cars so I mainly buy cars from UCD, but as far as I can remember the one that was less than green in condition was a C4 Corvette that could only be purchased during the Corvette Challenge at the Cafe.
I think I remember this car was all in yellow condition.
 
Second lottery ticket worth 1,000,000 credits for me in less than a week ! And I had another one for 500,000 too . Who said it was difficult to get credits in this game . 2.5m + the 1m they gave us at the update last week.

Last 3 tickets that I got, gave me 5,000 credits each. It still sucks.

I meant to ask this question of the Oracles of GTP a few days ago and then forgot.

Am I missing something, or is dynamic weather not actually available at all tracks? Brands Hatch, for example, varies between sunny and cloudy at various points from dawn until dusk, but I cannot do a night race (fair enough, it isn't a track that night races AFAIK) and I cannot get it to rain. It can definitely rain there in real life, so why not here? Is this vaunted dynamic weather just GTS weather with some tweaks at the same old circuits (oooh, look, it's raining at the Red Bull Ring again😕) and simply not applied at others?

Are you guys winning something that is not 5.000 cr?
The only car that i've won is the M6 GT3
Click to expand...
No, mine is usually 3K credits! Oh, and I'll happily swap the M6, which I would like, for the BRZ Drift car which is about the only one I've won?

If the surface water at start option isn't available it isn't a wet weather track.

That was kind of my point. Why not? Aquaplaning in the dip between Paddock Hill and Pilgrims Rise would be at least as much fun as aquaplaning along the Red Bull start/finish straight🤣. I can understand not bothering with rain at Willow Springs, it doesn't look like it's rained there for about 300 years, or Laguna Seca, but Brands? It's England, on the wrong day it p1sses down! Goodwood is literally 8 miles away and I can assure you, it can get pretty moist there too! I just think they've missed a trick but not offering wet racing at more circuits.
