I've finally finished all the Cafe Menu books so now just have the Extra Menus to work on which is basically unlocking the cars. Trying to not to spend too much as I wait for the Ferrari to be on sale for the Platinum PS trophy.
I like the fact I should be able to save money via these menus though, as i've got 150 cars so plenty of purchases to make!
Yeah I only had 12 million by the time it sold out, but I'll need 40 million to pick up the ferrari and mclaren, so I'll just carry on.
I have some photos to take and some online races to get the platinum so might as well start doing that 🙂
Honestly, if the Ferrari I now need to Platinum this game sells out before I logon, I will be screwing so badly.
I've just found a website where they'll send you an email once the car is available in the Legend shop. It updates daily so can't see it selling out by the time i get the email. Might wanna have a look mate.
Of the 494 cars available in this game, i currently have 491 🤗
One car, a Porsche, is locked behind an invitation, so that's in the lap of the rng gods 🙈
The other two, a Ferrari and a McLaren, I'm waiting to reappear in Hagerty's Legend Cars. The Mc was there last week but very annoyingly it had sold out by the time I'd raised the 20 million required, so will have to wait for it to rotate around again...
First GT7 race night in ages starts at 8pm. I might be on earlier.
We'll start in Spa, as requested, I've saved lobby settings already. 5 laps, no fuel or tyre wear stress to worry about, and any tyres allowed, so Softs.
What are people using for their Gr.3 or Gr.4 cars? How much HP and mods are you running? So with mine the way it is I think I should just race it. It should be good for the types of races we are doing?
The way the online races are set up, we use BOP, balance of performance, which adjusts weight and power so that all cars in the race are similar.
But the races we do are by category, so if it's a Gr.3 race it needs to be Gr.3 car, same with Gr.4.
Toyota, Nissan and Porsche tend to be strong all round on most tracks but for me it depends which car you feel most comfortable in.
Nevermind. I searched my garage under category and I have 1
Here's a tip for you as the Gr.3 & 4 cars cost around 400k.
To earn money I do a race at
Circuit de la Sarthe that pays out 850k. It's a 30 minute race but probably the quickest way to build up credits. Note, the race says its a 550k payout but you also get a clean race bonus that tops it up.
So when you play multiplayer, do you use cars you have gained during the career and tuned or pre-built cars? If it's the former, what PP cars are you guy's using? (So I know what to aim for) I think my best car is only around 5-600 odd
Start by purchasing Gr.3 and Gr.4 then Gr.2
Most races actually involve BOP balance of performance and and tuning isn't allowed in those races.
We do the odd PP tuned race but mostly focus on BOP and Gr.3 is the most used category.
To earn money I do the Le Mans 30 minute race which starts at 500k prize money and goes up to around 850k with clean race bonus.
Do we know what the cars will be @phil bottle? Nice update to come, I wish I tried and understood more on the tuning of the cars but never know if you're making a huge error by changing a core bit of data. Have you played much of this lately? I'm missing it for sure. Might check on building my money up as I was getting close to Platinum last time I was on this.
I usually try out the new daily races each week to see what laptime I can get. Sometimes on a Monday lunchtime I'm in the top 1000 but that doesn't last long 😅
Yeah I know sweet FA about tuning and have no desire to do so with an game engine that clearly needs tweaking.
New update brings new cars, a new track, PSVR2 and new AI, named Sophy.
