Gran Turismo Integrale, a GT7 Custom Career, is Available Now!

Holy moly, do I feel slow. “Track Stars” in the Pro League, BAC Monos (and Radical SR3s that could not keep up, sorry to report, Vet) at Bathurst. Oohwee, Sophy dusted me! I was able to steal a split-second win with a superior (read: not braindead) pit strategy, but color me nervous for the next two!

…though, I think I get to face Reggy at Big Willow (no slouch!) for one of them, thankfully

Anyone else making progress?

Great pic! Did you have the Radicals at the default PP of the Bac Mono? Tyre wise they are at a disadvantage but I found the Mono to be understeery when I've driven it, and I would've figured that the Radical at the same PP as the Mono would be competitive.

I actually forgot that Sophy was at Bathurst lol. Much needed because Reggy is slow coming down into the esses.

Nice work with the strategy and I hope you score well in the following races!

Humorously, it was Big Willow Reg’ that gave me the toughest time! Won the first two (Interlagos easiest / still tough) and dropped to sixth in the third, partially due to a mistake in my rabbit-tending that saw a 10-lap, 5 sec gap closed in two corners when the pace car pit and passed me the lead. Spooked, I put a tire in the dirt and dropped about 10 seconds. I did have the Radicals cranked up but they couldn’t keep up / additionally have smaller fuel tanks that exacerbated the difference over 20 fuel-multiplied laps.

Now I am struggling on Six’s Mirror. Thought the DB11 I cruised to easy British Championship victory with would be enough. 2 Reggy-run lambos (Murciélago and SH-default-tire Aventador) are lightning quick, and I’m chasing a Ferrari F12berlinetta and McLaren F1 for the final podium spot. Probably going to drop some funds on the widebody, I’m just too low-traction to make up any ground on the AI. Wonderfully frustrating! Dropped from pole to sixth at Nurb GP (with obvious player advantages at Schumacher S and fast right-hander turn12), scraped back two positions at RBR in a bit of rain, and then dropped the same two at Tsukuba. Thankful for my season-accumulated points cushion!

Pretty cool to have the Pro League end in sight, too! It’s been a long time comin’!

(Funny that I keep missing the ‘68 Charger - would prefer to buy 7 or 14 for the livery and tune diversity!)

This game desperately needs the ability to share custom races. The cynic in me wonders if that will eat into Power Pack sales.

I doubt that. Most people didnt buy PP purely because of some more special races but more for qualification in events, Sophy 3.0, extra cars, prize money etc

The DB11 did NOT work out for me Came 2nd in the British Supercar Championship and then got whooped in Six’s Mirror! I ended up keeping Reggy behind the wheel for all of these…too frustrating to work around Sophy’s circuit/car limitations sometimes, and clearly I don’t need a ‘faster’ opponent!

Don’t throw poo at me - I did have a passing thought today that maybe PD’s/Reggy AI is superior. Instead of ‘trained’ lines, equally-powered Reggy exhibits realistic intelligence, tucking into my slipstream as I attempt to evade, dodging and switching back beneath my greedy divebomb, spinning out while battling me/itself…then again, maybe I was in a good mood because I finally nabbed a podium

I may add the last two races in a later edit

I’ve ended up ignoring the suggested ECU nerf in favor of just making every grid as fair of a challenge as I can, usually by downtuning my BHP by 10% in prerace and always setting a rabbit in front with weak boost. These cars and characters are fast! I hate seeing Hlengiwe Mahlangu in my mirrors!

I did notice a potential issue, within the above concept of fair challenge, with the upcoming Royal Blood event, which uses homologation specials tuned to 700pp on SS tires. As all (listed) eligible cars use SH tires as a default, they can’t hit 700 unless they run RH tires. Furthermore, most of the “Make Model Gr.3 Road Car” cars can’t equip enough tuning parts to hit 700, even with RH tires. I’ve engine swapped several of them to muscle up to the limit, but it might be easiest for written progression to drop the limit to 670ish on RH tires (I did this in my spreadsheet template, though I’ll be at 700, personally), or maybe lower using SH.

…also, totally get it if this is a relic at this point, haha.

Excited to dust off my trusty Mustang (Trustang?) for the NA Masters 2 series! My most used car, so far. Here’s a progression shot:

I almost broke even on the Aston…

Thanks again for creating this wonderful experience!

It's been a minute since I jumped into Integrale, I've been working on other projects. I still have a bit left to do, but once that's done I'll get the last two events in the Beginner League finished by hopefully next month.

Speaking of the Beginner League, I made custom logos for the events with help from ChatGPT:

I made different versions of Turbo Twirl to fit with the different stages (Green for Low, Yellow for Mid and Red for High)

Hi, sorry for bothering but I have a question. I tried doing a WEC campaign (Gr.1) in accordance to the document. The document says to let BOP take care of making the cars equal, but for some reason BOP is unavailable for Ferrari VGT in game, is this a recent change unreflected in the document?

The Ferrari isn't classed as a Gr. 1, so it wouldn't be auto-balanced with the rest.

So best thing to do is just down tune every endurance car (including the Ferrari VGT) to a similar PP?

This is an oversight on my part, my apologies. You can enter it without BoP but you will get field spread and for as long as the hybrid energy lasts, the Ferrari VGT is quicker than other Gr.1 cars.

Otherwise yes you will need to manually tune the opponent cars or omit the VGT from the grid. I’ll update the documents and find a replacement team if possible in the event that a player wants to use BoP and not use the Ferrari.

Alternatively though, if you wanted the Ferrari or wanted it on the grid, you could heavily downtune the VGT more to maybe 90-93% ECU so that it’s more in line with the McLaren VGT if that appears in your field (did a quick test at 96% ECU at Le Mans and I was still quicker albeit than the McLarens but not a ton when the hybrid ran out).

Thanks a lot for the reply! I'll try tinkering with the downtune

Just added an alternate team to the document if you want to substitute the Ferrari VGT. You'll need to re-copy the document for the changes to appear, or you can make the changes yourself, if you want, they aren't large so it's not super time consuming.

The changes:

Genesis Magma Racing (AF Corse Alternate)

Car: Genesis X Gran Racer VGT Concept

• P. Derani (BRA)
• M. Jaminet (FRA)
• D. Juncadella (ESP)
• Empty Slot
• M. Jaubert (FRA) - If empty slot is not taken

---

I also changed the name of the Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo on the teams list to Ferrari VGT for consistency with how it's displayed in-game.
