Yay I got gold on Dragon Trail Seaside circuit experience Sector 2!

I finally understood I had to trail and turn and not stomp and turn into the first left hander in order to keep the line and speed.

I'm still struggling with sector 1 though, I do well in one section or another but I can't string it all together! It's so satifying when you do though :)
 
Yesterday? I got gold for the time trial-based weekly challenge featuring the Renault Espace F1 at a segment of Spa-Francorchamps, and also got into silver range for the online time trial featuring the Pagani Zonda R @ Dragon Trail Seaside. The former was done on the first attempt and the latter involved a time that was about a tenth or so under 1:33. Which, I may say, is pretty good seeing how I was also under the effects of THC for the first time, specifically a 5mg gummy.

Been doing a lot of custom racing lately, 11 custom race events splitted on a few tracks in 1 day.

I also full Golded the Yas Marina Circuit Experience. At first I wasn't doing too good and I had a few DQ's but with perseverence I ended up mastering the track!!

Proof that even the average drivers cars can do it! PS Some cars turn faster the more you set brakes rearwards. I set the 296 GTB at -5 and it ended up paying off in this case!

Not the only purchase of the day! The Group 4 Suzuki caught my eye, and of course, it had to be tuned to EXACTLY PP 700.00 for the WTC700 at La Sarthe.

The close finish was a load of fun, and a well deserved coffee to celebrate...

Not sure how I didn’t know you could visit the cafe in photo mode like this! I will have to take a look this week.

It’s hard to say why exactly but the cafe is somehow one of my favorite features of GT7. I went there yesterday to claim my seasonal menu 5-star ticket and got one of the best rewards I think I’ve ever received - GR LMP car I already had but sold for 1.5 mil 👍

It's a trick in PSVR2, where from the Garage, one can go into one of several VR views and "walk around" the car and "sit in it". One of the view locations is the Café, there's also GT Auto, Hagerty's and others. When pointing one's head the right way, take a screen shot, this is the result. It's a cool experience, but not really "photo mode" since there's no control over exposure, depth of field and so on.

Here's what it looks like in practice



 
-Painted some of my Ferraris in Rosso Corsa
-Drove the Ferrari FXX-K around Yas Marina
-Bought the McLaren P1 GT-R and drove it around Yas Marina
-Bought the Focus ST and drove it aroun Circuit Gilles Villeneuve
-Drove my GR Corolla and tuned R34 GT-R around Circuit Gilles Villeneuve
 
Bought a 3500 b for the 5 ⭐ 🎫.Got a Supra engine and put in and engine in the N22. 8 wanted to take it to LeMans but I was in a tuning mood so I turned the game off. I wanted to do LeMans but I couldn't figure out which car to use. Sometimes so.many choices causes an overload for me 😁

I also paid a million for the 3500B to get the 5 ⭐️.

The wheel paid me one million credits.

How can ChatGPT tune a car?
Simply ask it for recommendations.

I'm no tuning expert, but the conversations I've had with it about tweaking suspension settings sounded plausible and the cars felt good afterwards.

I've had interesting discussions about the principles of tuning. I trust these principles more than I trust the actual numbers it comes up with, but that's because its principal skills are with words, not numbers. However, this stuff is moving fast, so my reluctance may be out of date already.
 
I drove 324 km today... granted I started around midnight yesterday and an unhealthy obsession with the Tokyo Expressway WTC 600 doesn't help (I also did 2 1-lap races at Nordschleife, so...). I won the Le Mans race of the green path of the PP after starting in 10th because a straggler ruined my hot lap in qualifying (they should address this). Still, starting from 10th was thrilling and I exchanged positions with the leaders up until the last lap, and they can do dirty stuff!

And with the daily roulette ticket I earned a car... which I don't remember, but it barely moved the collector's level, so it must not be important.

Did my daily and signed my driver contract. I am now finally an official BMW factory driver and did some quick laps around Road Atlanta

Bought a new Audi TTS coupe ( 2014 ) and used one of my 23 Audi R8 swapped engines.
 
I don't know how I missed this before, but today I picked up the 18 free cars for speed-running through the "My First Gran Turismo" game.

The 300SL is quite incredible. Didn't have lot expectations but it's really fast considering it's age, and fuel last very long.

Also I just discovered it's one of those cars that has alternate interior color.
 
So, I was there, running another failed experiment at Tokyo Expressway (you know the one) when all of a sudden, a silver trophy popped up. Now, I don't really mind the things, but after exiting the race I looked it up and it turns out I just drove the entire length of Germany's Autobahn network! :eek:

So... I put my controller down for the day.
 
?? Please elaborate. Anything we can help with?
Thanks, well, I once place 4th there, in the WTC 600, but for the life of me I can't remember with what. All I want is a car build that doesn't stress me and can reliably grind there without having to resort to lowering the difficulty.

I'm tinkering with the Honda NSX (2017) and I think I'm close to something.
