Anyone can add to this but here's a few things for new players to take note. First some tips, them some etiquette. Tips Cars cost money. Money is gained by driving. Simple. In Campaign you can choose between GT League, Driving School, Mission Challenge, Circuit Experience. I'd do Circuit Experience first as it provides money. Mission Challenge and Driving School will give you free cars after various stages. Every day you play the game, you will be given a free car, so long as you drive a minimum 26 miles. Etiquette There's a quick tutorial in the Sport section. It's a requirement before you're allowed to race online. …

For the tl;dr Selling cars will be happening. New tracks. New cars. New events. 1m credits. Dear Gran Turismo Community, Thank you for your continued support and feedback on Gran Turismo 7, your voices have not gone unheard. I would like to apologize for the frustration and confusion caused last week with our patch updates which resulted in, not only a server outage but also adjustments to the in-game economy which were made without a clear explanation to our community. We know that this is not the Gran Turismo experience you expect and we will be making a goodwill gesture in the form of a non-paid credit…

So, to try and gather everyone from different time zones, let's try some weekend events. If the US crew can say when is good for them for a session. Best day, time etc and we'll book it in the calendar. @Capn_Underpants @Misneach_ @Shucker @TurboR56Mini @VGon_BGon48 Let me know if I've missed anyone. Also, @BO7H B4RRELS do you by any chance have the game in your household?🤗

I was going to pick up the game the other day for a low of £56 but I've been hearing some major controversies regarding microtranasctions and their predatory implementation. There was apparently an update that slashed prize money by 50% and a host of cars that not only cost 8x as much as they did in GT Sport, but they are timed offers and priced where users essentially have to pay real money and in many cases, have to make two or more transactions leaving a reserve because there isn't enough credits to buy a car outright i.e a car may cost 3.1m CR so you have to pay $20 for 2m CR and then make up the rest either with grinded funds banked or more payments. I also hear you …

My wheel started acting up... it wouldn't calibrate properly (full left, then full right, etc.) but instead goes hard to the right and then twitches a bit before giving up. Did this on any USB port I tried (Windows PC, PS4, Macbook, phone charger, etc.) so I knew it wasn't software related unless it was the wheel firmware. Got on live chat and explained the situation and had a video of it malfunctioning, which they reviewed. Took a while, as live chat usually does, but they processed an RMA for me, didn't ask for a receipt or how old it was and are sending a complete replacement within the next 5 or so days and don't want the old one returned. I did not see that com…

Following @Mikepjbell posting in the summer league thread about not knowing where he's losing time to myself and Kiwi. I thought I'd start a thread where we can discuss and compare laps to try and improve everyone's lap times. I figure this can take one of 3 forms, 1. A lap guide. I've done a couple of these in the past but basically talking through one of my fast laps, where I'm braking, references I'm using for braking or turning in etc. If you want one of these just say which track and car class (or specific car) and I shall get try to get it done asap or; 2. Drop me a message and we can hop on a server together and compare laps in real…

Ok, so here we go. Spring Season starts on March 2nd and each Tuesday we will dedicate one race as a League race. Points for places from 12 weekly races. Best results from 9 races count towards final tally to decide seasonal winners. This will be decided after all 12 races are done. I'll add the specific points available at the end. I'll put a league table up after race 1. Each seasonal winner will also generate points for the Grand Final in December. Spring Season weekly tracks Season_Week Track Class s1_wk1 …

After Lee suggested having FG skins for our racing cars, Mike asked for the FG logo. As there’s no way to share in game you’ll need to upload it yourself Logo's currently made; I've also made 2 website decals, one lowercase and one all caps. Download; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nb4yntiqnvmba97/AAA0q7UuMdnadYsdEDpnPkW6a?dl=0 If you need any other logos / versions of the FG logo let me know. I’ll keep the dropbox updated so it can act as a logo pack for us all. You need to go to the gt sport website to upload. Specific instructions on how to upload to follow shortly.

Just an idea I thought may be worth getting opinions on for the next season of GT races. Alongside the usual drivers championship, could we pair drivers together for a team competition, with both drivers scores combined? Figured this could help achieve a few things: Closer competition within the overall standings (assuming more experienced drivers are paired with newer guys for fair teams) More experienced drivers could focus on helping their teammate, almost as mentors. This could be really useful with race strategy becoming increasingly important. More incentives for a consistent turnout (at least I myself would make sure to find time to practic…

Congrats to @JBR-Kiwi and @Greboth for providing a battle that went all the way to the wire. The Kiwi takes the title, although if it was just the best 9 races of 12 both would share honours, so well done ❤️ Some great racing from everyone, we all got to see @Mikepjbell up close and sometimes too personal, but also some really quality driving. @GazzaGarratt will need to try a bit harder if he's going to beat this committed cyclist who doesn't drive IRL 😅 Some drivers who will clearly threaten next season include @Lurch @Macca89 and @crispymorgan . None more so than possible team buddy @jordie1892 who will help me reac…

Good few races this week, unfortunately the GT Sport update delayed us all getting off earlier than expected but worth the wait. I don't think i've ever seen so much practice go on in previous weeks so nice to see the buzz around! @JBR-Kiwi had some stellar races, winning the first 2 and wiping the floor with us if i'm honest. @jordie1892 showed great pace and he was just unfortunate that a miscalculation meant he wasn't even higher. @Macca89 showed some promise again but his race was impacted early from lack of knowledge on the track 'prone to the dust zones' I think others had an off week or moments that just defined th…

What a league race this week! Lots of things happening, it felt like most drivers were in it with a shout. @JBR-Kiwi had a cracker of a race given for the fact I think he got away from everyone else without a scratch the entire race! Everyone had struggles but came through the pack well - most notably @Mikepjbell and @phil bottle. And then @Greboth making his way back from dead last to second was an achievement...probably lucky it happened on the first lap! I somehow spun the car nearly half way through the race whilst sitting in 3rd after such a good start - devastated. @crispymorgan really held the second fantastically well, but came unstuck …

I've mentioned it a few times, but I'd quite like to have a blast down to the 'ring. Would anybody else be interested? Costs are reasonable, and I usually stop in Bruges for a night and go to ribs and beer where you get beer and unlimited ribs. Nommy. Do a few days at the ring then home. It's worth it just to enjoy the atmosphere and looking at all the awesome cars.

Some really good drives throughout from what I could see this week. 1st and 2nd (@Greboth @JBR-Kiwi ) was kind of dictated by strategy mess ups so for me the stars were the middle of the pack with Clive @Teenwolf25 and Crispy @crispymorgan having their best drives since me, James @Lurch and Paul @slamminbones really struggled to keep the car quick and on the track. I think Clive just edged it for me, however there's no doubt Crispy will be a driver of the week over the next few weeks if he can avoid my utter rotten luck 😄 There might be a race report up soon to give more detail but for now let us know what you think if you saw or raced in it!

A spin off from what we've doing over recent months (or should I say @Greboth and @phil bottle a lot more than me!) is rather doing just time trials, selecting the weekly race, having a few practice/qualifying laps and then having a 11 lap race. Phil took me on a spin last night and it was seriously good fun, much different to our Friday night banter, smash everyone in sight, games. I think it also helps you understand more about the cars strengths/weaknesses as well as the track layout which is a massive factor if we are turning it into a race. There were minor penalties on too for cutting corners or going ignoring the speed limit which really did work when i thought ini…

So, next week's tracks have been announced and they're not great, so I'm suggesting we choose our own tracks instead. Next week it's a Gr.4 at Lago Maggiore and a Gr.1 at Spa. My suggestions are: 1. Blue Moon Gr. 3 Loads of laps 2. Sardenga Road Track (a or b) Gr.4 7 laps 3. Kyoto Driving Park - Y&M 4 or 5 laps But that's just suggestions. Would be good to sort so we know what to practice. I'll raise it tonight during GTA.

I always find it funny when important gaming information turns up in a non gaming media. This from PS5 head honcho Jim Ryan...in GQ 🙄 "GT7 has been impacted by Covid-related production challenges and therefore will shift from 2021 to 2022. With the ongoing pandemic, it’s a dynamic and changing situation and some critical aspects of game production have been slowed over the past several months. We’ll share more specifics on GT7’s release date when available.”

Following some comments on WhatsApp, thought I'd set this thread up for race requests. I know @Mikepjbell and @JBR-Kiwi are interested in trying out the rally tracks. We could do that next week if nobody is averse to it. Not a massive fan myself but always happy to give it a go. Some also like the occasional wet experience. This week's Tuesday races are back mirroring this week's GTS daily races but it doesn't always have to be me setting up the event, tracks and lobbies, so say in this thread anything you want added or changed.

Here's the poll for this week! Put your votes in please!! For me whilst a few people had some moments of glory and brilliance, I think @Greboth showed his ridiculous pace on both tracks, holding off @JBR-Kiwi in the first race and absolutely destroying nearly all of us in the second. Top job mate 👏👏👏 Who and why do you think won it this week?

I thought this would be a great way to start sharing how well we thought others did in the night as no two evenings are usually the same with all of us. I think this will boost some people when they think they might not have done so well but also gives us a little highlight for each week that we can think of how others did, not just ourselves. If we can try and get one up after each Tuesday race night thats the plan but obviously if others can help me get the poll up before I get here that would be awesome stuffs. Its really easy getting a poll up and adding the names. I'll make sure it shows on the Game Hub GT Sport page too! Great racing everyone…

I've been thinking about trying out manual gears for some time now on Gt Sport as I know its generally faster times you can get however at the best of times there's a lot to concentrate on, let alone then change gears as you race. So are there any helpful tips on what to look out for, how to change gears, etc. I appreciate I know how to do it in real life but racing in a virtual world is very different to the real thing! Likely to start out on controller but obviously tips for people with racing wheel's are welcome too as I'd love to own one in the future. Cheers all!

I'm wanting to suggest more tracks each week with our regular GT Sport races slot gathering lots of interest of late. So I thought i'd open it up to everyone. For me, Sardegna and Willow Springs in Gr.4 cars can lead to seriously close times and very rewarding when you nail the laps. They're not super hard tracks to race on but there a small areas where you can work on each lap to get faster and better at the corners. They would absolutely lead to interesting races for sure. And yes, Blue Moon Speedway is basically nearly an oval but surprisingly made for interesting races (and yes I did win that one but thats not the point …

I think we have enough people to consider starting a league. Obviously not right away, as some newer players need some time with the game. But I'm thinking of doing a league by season, kind of like Gran Turismo do. My suggestion: 1 league race a week. 12 league races per season. Points for places. Final league table will take your top 9 points from 12 races. You have to pick one car manufacturer at the beginning of each season which will the one you use for all FG league races that season. I can share the planned tracks and power levels in advance of each season and share results on a weekly basis. Grand Final at the…
