Today in GT7 I forgot to play GT7 lol. Ended up getting so absorbed in WRC10 career that I ran out of time.

Same. I started playing Stray and told myself I needed to leave time to get my daily miles in GT7 and check the UCD and LCD for new cars. Didn’t happen. lol

I can't believe that one of my Scapes has now hit 1000 likes... I also can't believe that it's still top of the Recommended Scapes page after more than 3 weeks.

This one picture now accounts for one third of my total likes - my next highest has 60 likes :lol:

Went back to LeMans today after being away a long time at Sardegna.
Something appears to have changed.

I normally win that race pretty easily with the Jag or AM Gr4s, whatever the weather.

Today I was struggling, my normal lap times were down a lot, and when I came out P16 after 1st pit stop, I knew something was wrong. After getting punted off on lap 4 I just quit. Went to the garage to see if any settings were off, and noticed the oil was now "Worn"..... so did an oil change and tried again.

Performance was much better (maybe the oil really makes a difference even though PP not affected?) but still not blazing away as normal. Came out of the pit end of lap 6 in 4th, immediately span off (track not fully dried) and ended up 3rd, 10 seconds behind winner.

That hasn't happened here before.

I am either having a really bad "off-day" or PD have tweaked the AI.

3 star ticket, Cr 10k.
 
I created a basic livery for the Alpine 220 and took it to Tokyo again and it felt too slow. I used Praino's tune and the handling is great but I wasn't keeping pace. Got to figure that out. I started on Sardgena with Rx Vision and I did okay I didn't finish as I was crashing too much so I went back to CE. Won the daily ticket and it had 3 cars and 10k & 100K usually once it does the initial stop it moves two times and that normally puts on the 10K or whatever the lowest credit value is so this time it stopped on a car and the next stop was 10K so like a dummy I though it move 2 times to the 100K which it didn't 😞 Should have known better than to think I would get 100K
 
Did a full 1 hour - 24 hour cycle at Le Mans in GT3 cars. Was a fun race. Had a decent amount of tyre and fuel wear to make the stints enjoyable. Fuel was like x6 which was maybe a lap or two short of the half way estimated lap, which allowed for majority of full speed running but with a lap of fuel save, and tyre wear (maybe x6/7) on softs again lasted about halfway too. Tempted too at some point to do a 2/3 hour 24 hour endurance with same settings. Hopefully I can get some dynamic weather included as well to spice it up.

On the Plus account, I finished buying all the sub-450,000 Cr. cars available (and the first handful of those), then took a break from the circuit experiences and sent the R32 to Tokyo. It's not quite as fast as the R33, partly because I did a no-stop strategy, but it did well enough to buy a couple more 450,000-Cr. cars. The all-cash 4-star Wheel of Despair gave the 2nd-lowest 30,000 Cr.

On the GTP account, I did the same in the R33 with the usual result. The no-cash 4-star Wheel of Despair gave a worthless Bugatti invite.
 
I started a new thread compiling my road car trials at Sarthe as there seemed to be a demand for tunes for specific races. This gives me the opportunity to track my performance(s), test cars and/or tunes I may have not otherwise tried, as well as, a reference for others looking for such information. My hope is that it serves the community well, highlights our wonderful tuners and their efforts and maybe inspires similar threads for other circuits. Managed to get through 4 cars today, the Alfa 8C, AMG Black Series, Aston DB11 and the Audi TT 3.2, which was my goal. On top of that, I gained some valuable skills in formatting.

Good times, enjoy your weekend(s)! I have no work this weekend, so I might get some play time in, bonus!

One race, one win, at the ring. Not much today but a fun race! Also took this scapes picture of the 2 cars i won a race on the ring with! Gonna be back to grinding spa after this fun sport mode week!

Also, anyone noticed that in sport mode after a few races the traction control is automatically put to 3? I never use traction so is deffo noticeable. Had it a few times now, weird

I do know they changed the weather there awhile back (maybe update 1.16 or 1.17) because immediately after whichever update it was the weather has been much less predictable than it had been prior, so it’s possible they changed other stuff also. Anymore I only run Gr.3 cars there or those swapped with racing engines like the Tundra with Lexus GT500 engine so I can 1 stop it, so haven’t noticed it being harder to win. In fact I had my largest margin of victory there last week where I finished well over 3 minutes ahead of 2nd place, normally it’s closer to 2 minutes for me.
 
Today I reduced my time in the S10 License Test from 1.1 seconds off gold to .2! I've been trying and trying on the Spa Wet test for a while and its hard to crack. I was stuck on being 1 second off for a couple months. Getting this gold is the last thing I need for the Platinum Trophy.

Tried the Aston Gr.4 today - 6th. WTH is going on???? Weird.
 
Never been a fan of the Nordschleife but after managing a 7.06 for Race C i thought it was time i tried to get all gold on the Nordschleife Circuit Experience. So jumped straight to the 1 lap final challenge, managed a 6.39 after a few attempts then called it quits as my head was beginning to hurt with how much i was having to concentrate, the FFB also gave my hands and wrists a proper work out
 
Finally won my last outstanding single player race, Group1 at Suzuka. Not a fan of that class, especially on twisty circuits and whenever I've done it before the McLaren did a no-stop and I couldn't beat it. Don't know if it was nerfed in a recent update but it was stopping like all the other opponents now.

Used the Gr1 VGT Tomahawk, handles very nicely with max downforce and still has just about enough top end. A lot of rain which made things easier, won at a canter in the end.

Golded the CEs at Trial Mountain and Big Willow, but Laguna Seca is giving me headaches. I've hit a wall a couple of tenths off the required time. Need to take a break from that.

Continued my Brand Central buying spree, now in North America. Have all the Ford, Chevys and Dodges.

I was bored today, so I got on GT7 and sent my Alfa 155 DTM car to another dimension at Monza. The Della Roggia chicane is a great place to get a car airborne.

I created two car review videos on the 2002 Ferrari Enzo, and the 2009 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 USING THE IN-GAME BIOS FOR THE TWO CARS.

It's amazing how this game can be used as a tool to create various types of car videos.

If you would like, check it out and let me know what you think.

This site is full of very knowledgeable individuals, and car enthusiasts so any feedback would be greatly appreciated positive or negative.

On the Plus account, I golded the Brands Hatch, Goodwood, Sardegna Road and Deep Forest (the last after turning on ASM and TC1) CEs to have enough cash to buy the UCD/Hagerty's only cars under 451,000 Cr. that I don't already have, and bought the Mustang Gr.3 to continue the current quest to have all the sub-451,000 cars. The 3-star Wheel of Despair gave the low-cash 10,000-Cr. option.

On the GTP account, I took the Huracain Gr.4 to Sarthe for a 1-stop laugher in the dry. I merely needed to short-shift at 8000 rpm to make the first FM1 run 4 laps, and I still turned 4:18 laps. I almost made it to the Porsche curves on lap 7 before the 30-minute clock ran out, and won by 1:02. The 4-star Wheel of Despair gave the usual lowest-possible 10,000 Cr., and with the cheapest Hagerty car that I don't have a cool 8,300,000 Cr., I'll be waiting for the Alfa Romeo Giulia to show up before I can buy something I don't have.
 
Woke up way too early and gave Pra’s P330 a go. I do appreciate a good race car every once in awhile after so much time in road cars and she didn’t disappoint.

Then back to the Certified for Sarthe grind and knocked out 5 more cars today, had a couple that jumped their places after noticing results on other threads. The M3 ‘03 (swapped), Veyron, C4 Corvette, Challenger (swapped) and Mach Forty have now been immortalized.

I don’t think I could run another race if I wanted to right now. All-time high in credits, about double my previous high. I’m ready for whatever they throw in the LCD and then-some, hooray!

EDIT: I almost forgot, lapped half the field at Sarthe in my final race. It was a nasty, 2 bars of water for 3 laps kind of race, but I persevered in a most unlikely American FR…

I bought some wheels and paints. I guess I’ll start collecting those while I wait for new cars and more events. Reminds of GT5 and trying to get all those items.
 
Just completed a 1.5 hour nurburgring 24hr race.
I chose: all custom weather but kept it dry, 8 Gt3 cars with custom liveries, 12 gt4 cars with custom liveries, boost weak, time set to 12x, tires x1 and fuel x2.

About 4 of the custom liveries (including my car) did not load despite showing up on the mini icons at the end of the race and during the replay. Additionally, throughout the race the game would hiccup and freeze for 1 to 2 seconds randomly and then return to normal running.

Has anyone experienced this? Could my connection be an issue? Or is my PS5 on the fritz?
