Gran Turismo 7

[Geddes]

I've not played for a long time, I'm very rusty. I did get a taste for it again though, tempted to get a T598 later this year and get a bit more into it.

The thing I find hardest is learning tracks when you're constantly switching between races. I used to do the weekly online races as I liked just perfecting on one track for a few days so might try go back to that.

Will watch that video in a bit, got work in 10 minutes 😭

yeah I'm the same when i started to get back into it months ago it was tough learning the tracks and still don't know some of them and the ones i did on GT Sport i had to re learn them. I played GT7 for a little bit when it came out as i did some Live Stream on the channel and not been on for couple years until now. Starting to get into it but still struggling. I did some Dailys on GT Sport and my mental health wasnt great with the anxiety and pressure of the race, was getting a few podiums but i had to give it up online racing. I did do 1 Daily race on GT7 and that was it, rest on this game is campaign stuff. I do miss the dailys and the podiums but see what happens. I'm still on a controller have no interest on a wheel. There's a lot of competition from Fanatec and Thrustmaster and there talk on a wheel that Super GT uses, can't remember the name but that one uses an adaptor for the PlayStation.

Is there a noticable difference between the 'cheaper' geared/belt driven wheels as opposed to direct drive? Over lockdown I had a T300RS and did some racing with work colleagues but sold it for profit once things were going back to normal but after playing GT7 for a while now I do quite fancy doing it properly with a seat etc

I've never used a DD, I've only ever used the Logitect G27 and then G29/G920 wheels.

At uni my mate had the G27 and I got the G920, then I sold it at the end of uni. I re-bought it but sold again in covid for profit. Would like to try a proper DD now though. I'm going away for 2 months now, but when I'm back in July I might get the T598 and a rig, seem to hold value so can sell again when I never use it 🤣

I can't imagine ever streaming me racing, like you say that's so much pressure.

I remembered that brand I think it’s called Sim Magic, not 100% sure though, heard good things things on the brand.

Yeah, for me doing Live Streams, your watching the screen and your watching at the same comments and thinking about what their saying and what I need to reply with and you loose concentration or ask them what you want for me to do and no one reply’s. I don’t get the views I’d like when I do Live Streams. No pressure and won’t get distracted as other streamers actually do when they race going off track when reading and loose concentration.

Has anyone done any of the Series 1 Prototype races yet, i done the Daytona one couple weeks ago but got another 2 tracks to do and the videos on YouTube are out of date to do with the Updates. Need some advice who's done it recently, if not I'll have another look.

I've just done 3 races for this weeks Weekly Challenges including the World Touring Car 700 at Red Bull, did that first go and it started to rain , ran out of fuel into the entry of the pit lol, also realised i wonder if i have IM or Wet tyres, didn't bother checking before the race and luckly again i had Wet's and they lasted till the end of the race. Quit happy

You need to work on your collector level

I’m already at 50 if that’s what your on about ?

Ah, then you need to do the menus I guess, so you can do all the weekly races!

 

[Geddes]

yeah i just figured that out just an hour ago. After all this time too. I gone in the Extra Menus and actually gone into each menu and it tells you what you what cars that i need and tell you if it's in stock to buy or out of stock.

I know now and need to save up or do more Circuit Experiences plus i still got 2 more The Human Comedy endurance races left to do. their over a million credits each

Just been on and I'm not a high enough collector for the 4th one, I'm level 30 and need 35. I'm proper Yorkshire though, hate spending money 🤣

Done the other 4, the Touring Car one was good, I was sure it was gonna rain when I saw the dark clouds coming in and I only had slicks but luckily it stayed dry.

yeah i spent a lot recently , only had about 10,000 credits left from about 4 - 6 Million or something. Been getting a few Legendary cars just the cheaper ones and the ones ohh i like that one and buy it. Got about 4 Million or so now. These Weekly Challenges come in handy, i never knew anything about them. Seen a video saying get 2 Million Credits and i thought it was do do with these races with AI, i could of started to do these a lot sooner. Yeah the Touring Car was good, it was dark for me too at first and it rained for me then dried up. So it didn't rain for you then? So i guess it's totally random for the weather on these races? Just set another best time on the NSX Time Trial on my other account currenly sitting around 2,200 in the world for that time. Could get a bit more off, think i been getting the wrong gear for one of the corners

Nice one, buying Legendary Cars got my level up quickly

Found the new Time Trial at Catalunya-Barcelona in the VGT challenging, got the Gold but it's a close one this one.

This weeks Weekly Challenge

couple latest videos

I'm completly baffled now, today is Weekly Challanges and i got 4 of the 5 races but the one i need unlocked is the Hypercar Parade , for this i need 3 cars from the Cafe Menu, i had 2 already and the last one i needed was the Group 1 Peugeot 908 and so i bought it for 1 Million credit. So i thought with having all the cars and unlocking that Cafe Menu. The Weekly Challenge Hypercar Parade will now be open to me, but not it's still lockedand yes i am car car collector 50 for some time now. There is a Bonus Menu, Menu Book and Extra Menu. I have done all 39 of the Menu Book, Extra Menu 12 of 45 and no idea how i dont 2 of the 12 Bonus Menu and i can't see anything about it on Menu's?

 

[Geddes]

It’s ok , I think I’ve sussed it now
