Made a nice Red Ferrari 296 into the Novitec looking 296 GTRooooo treatment and modified it to 1,218bhp and it got Ceramic brakes and heavy mods, to make it zooom zoom around Tsukuba, traction a bit sticky on drag races as it so powerful!!! But a great sounding car and lovely drive for a modern ferarri.

I finished 2nd in the Super Formula race at St Croix (C layout, I think), I probably was very conservative on tire selection, I should go softs next time. I finished the Subaru WRX menu and also purchased both 296 Ferraris, my collector level is now at 46.

What Fuel mix did you use? I tried it last night I was able to get 3 laps at FM6. I use a manual and I do a lot f short shifting. The car is a great car so smooth and quick. <snip>
Thank you! I took your advice and played with the FM control. And indeed, short shifting and FM6 allowed me to do the final 3 laps without a pit stop, sailing to victory. The first 4 laps were driven hard with a pit stop in the middle for both fuel and IM tyres since the weather was about to go full-on monsoon at the end of lap 2.
 
Again welcome to the club, glad you are loving it... We don't lie, we truly want more people to experience it the game the right way.

Do you have a wheel ?
😅😅 Thanks for the most warm welcome!! I do have to say a lot, but it’s mostly variations of the same answer: IT IS REALLY ANOTHER WHOLE EXPERIENCE and I don’t even have a wheel yet…! Have already done like 5 hours of VR play today and no dizziness nor headache nor eye fatigue (and with glasses! Which I started using this year for the first time in my life 😅😅) only true excitement (obviously I’m very new at VR and that coolness factor may heavily influence my opinions) but for being the first time ever and again going almost blind, I can say my first impression is basically flawless!

I’ll share more of my experience in the PSVR2 thread!!

WOn it on one go, was way easier than I expected
Drove the 2008 Epson NSX GT500
I didn't have to buy the new 2023 Ferrari 296 GT3, still saving it for later ...

Your welcome! I usually start at FM6 with any car I try then depending on how fast it is I will adjust the fuel mix to get the best speed/fuel ratio for the race. For the longest time I was obsessed with being able to get the most laps before pitting but that would cause a car to be slower than I like so I wouldn't use the car. So * missed out on a lot of capable cars for LeSarthe. I had to adjust my thinking and I have been use a wide variety of cars there.
 
My honest to God reaction after finally playing GT7 on my new PSVR2:

I honestly feel like I finally got into the 21st century after living my whole life like a hermit playing games on a black and white old tv set 😳😂 that’s how I can best describe the impact of just doing three laps in the Mines GTR at my go to test track DragonTrail Seaside. I had no idea of the track’s very surprising elevation changes which made me react waaayyyyy differently as before (and I have a 55” 4K tv at 8 feet from me).

Plus the amazing, surreal and very highly detailed interior! The rear view mirror even has the Mines logo etched in it!!

Now I fully understand. Now I fully appreciate what Kaz said as VR was always the main focus for GT7. Now everything makes sense.

Yes it was an impulse buy. And the best impulse buy I’ve ever done in my life!

I am still having goosebumps!!!!
For me, purchase choices (especially for expensive cars) are HEAVILY influenced by how the interior looks.

So I sit in every car before buying it. And I turn around to peer in every direction. Sometimes slumping down in my chair to look under the dash.

And when I win a new car, I just have to sit in it.

On the other hand, when I win a car which has no interior, I'll usually sell it. Driving a car with my chin on the top of the windscreen just doesn't do it for me.
 
Finished the Historic branch of the Power Pack and unlocked the Gr C Le Mans endurance. Gonna hold off on doing the enduros until I finish everything else.
 
Tripped over something odd at the start of the 24 hour variant of the Ring.

If you look closely at the following screen shot, in the area of the license plate, you'll see a reflection of a text fragment...

I used a glossy decal to cover up the number plate. I guess it must be angled upwards to catch this reflection.
