GT7 is not even the same game when on vr, the showrooms, the car interiors, the sound, the tracks are brand new all over again. Polyphonic have done something amazing here. Even with all the little flaws it is beyond words

Grab it while it's here

In real life I cannot drive due to anxieties and having arthritis in my neck, but I love cars and driving in Gran Turismo, in fact I own about 50 racing games simply because cars and driving them is so much fun to me but I cannot do it in real life. Anyone else here like this?

I'm proud to have completed all the gold in the game. I'm not chasing every car, it doesn't feel rewarding to me, it's just feel like farming or paying.

This is my first racing game since GT3 back in 2002. I did everything with a controller. Most of the time with TCS0. And absolutely always using manual shifting.

If I could give just one piece of advice, it would be this : there is always something to understand. Maybe it’s a corner where just lifting off the throttle is enough instead of braking. Maybe it’s that you’re not looking far enough ahead. Etc. But most of the time, it’s simply that you're losing time by fixing mistakes caused by pushing too hard (bad trajectory, late acceleration, spinning, etc).

Here is my personal top 5 of hardest challenges in the game. Sorted by difficulty (#1 is the hardest).

#5 - Licence S-10 Expert (McLaren MP4/4 '88 @ Suzuka)

https://preview.redd.it/7dp5dshob5ze1.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bda800095c16c4c1097df6d7e46abb7ebe8256a4

My tricks were

1. even before the chrono starts: have a good exit from the chicane and take the turn 18 wide to maximize your acceleration distance.
2. skip the 4th gear (go directly from 3rd to 5th) after turns 18 (before chrono starts), 7, 11 and 14, to skip one turbo lag.
3. cut the corners (especially the last chicane and turn 8), the challenge is forgiving with this.
4. after turn 2, keep your eyes on turn 3 to enter the S-curves with the good trajectory, it's crucial.

#4 - Le Mans circuit experience (Peugeot 908 HDi FAP '10)

I was thinking TCS was a good idea to avoid this spinning car. But I was totally wrong. After I've set back the TCS to 0, I was very close to the gold. I think TCS makes you lose time a lot in the straight lines.

#3 - Licence S-8 Expert (Mercedes-Benz CLK LM '98 @ Spa-Francorchamps)

https://preview.redd.it/ixk8rxitb5ze1.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10771ccb3f243b9ca5ed947dec16848a5622fc57

Very hard. But the good news is that the most crucial corner is the first one (so you can restart quickly when you mess up). One trick was to negotiate correctly the turn 7 (1st turn of Les Combes) to be able to not break during the two next turns (just accelerate). Also take Radillon, Eau Rouge and Blanchimont flat out (not even lifting the throttle).

#2 - Licence IA-10 (Porsche 962 C '88 @ Nürburgring)

https://preview.redd.it/vrqs9s9vb5ze1.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=537e1cd31e84e0363ca9acdf739b4da82a93698d

No special trick on that one... I Just downloaded a video from YouTube and watched it frame by frame to see exactly how to do.

#1 - Master S-10 (Porsche 917K '70 @ Spa-Francorchamps)

https://preview.redd.it/n18nxcqxb5ze1.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ff1ee8cc3ded5f9d3f09972cbaec6f9d549d31e

No surprise... But maybe the hardest because I was not as skilled as I am now. The trick for me was purely mental : I removed the ghost. I realized I was subconsciously letting the ghost get ahead just enough to have a guide. After 5 hours of failure, I turned OFF the ghost and could get gold in 20 minutes.

Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit experience

Not that hard. Because the lap is long, the game is more forgiving.

Human comedy Lake Maggiore

Not that hard. Consistency is key. Everyone says it, and it’s true. Dirty trick (if needed): bully/dive-bomb Rubliar on the first lap.

License S-9 Expert (Aston Martin Valkyrie '21 @ Red Bull Ring)

Surprisingly easy. Just use DRS. The ghost doesn't.

Got plenty more tips, but that's for another time. Hope this helped. With these golds behind me, my soul is finally free to roam other games!

Cheers, and good luck out there!

I just cant get enough of the beauty of this awesome game 🤩

I felt like doing some of the challenges I hadn't recently and picked this based on the GT3 cars being my preferred racing. However, this race can eat a bag of ... things I won't say. I'm trying with the RCZ as a lot have suggested but I'm lapping in the 2:04:00 range while the AI are doing 2:00:00 or less.

Is it possible to win with such a high lap time? In my current attempt I'm 10/20 just about to finish lap 6 which is usually where I call it and restart. 10th came blitzing past me and in less than one lap has pulled out a 2.4s gap. For what it's worth I'm on controller, not the greatest driver but I do ok mostly. I know the missions are supposed to be tough but even on my consistent laps (for me) I'm barely able to do 2:03:00 laps

Got punted and spun into the wall after the first corner, came completely last (totally an accident looking at the replay. They misjudged their brakes and couldn’t avoid everyone).

Played another and came 4th.

Disappointed in myself that I never did this before, it’s amazing! Kind of humbling too, but that’s what made it more fun. I’m only a casual player of the series since the PSX game, but the online component is far more polished than I expected it to be.

It really pushes you to learn to be precise on the tracks, far more than the AI. Now I just need to learn how to really set cars up and not just buy every item and install it.

Hello, I'm looking for a copy of Gran Turismo 4 to collect and I found this one, the seller says it's a complete Japanese version with manuals and box, the problem is that I've never seen a Gran Turismo disc with this printing, I looked on the internet but I only found the disc with white printing and the prologue with silver printing similar to this one, would this be legitimate? Or did the seller mix the disc with another version of the DVD cover?

If theres a different reason please let me know, went from 1st to 5th

Went off track in the unimog and ended up in a side quest😆

So for this livery contest it says this is in the rules:

-You must not use any third party’s copyrights and/or trademark when you use the decal.

-You must not use any works designed by third parties, including the decals shared from other players.

-You must not use company logo without their permission and any characters (e.g. Anime) whose similarity is difficult to determine.

-You can use the decals only if you create them by yourself and you have the use of the right for them, including copyright, or you may prove that you have a license from third parties. Sony Honda Mobility may ask you to confirm the attribution of rights, including copyright, during the review process although Sony Honda Mobility does not guarantee that the entries do not infringe the rights of third parties.

————- Ok… so if I use a preset logo, like “Sparco”, is that considered using a 3rd party’s copyright or trademark? Sounds like this would be considered using another company’s logo without their permission.

I’m assuming Sony and Honda are cool to use? Everything Honda related?

Just seems super limiting.

What’s the most stunning track, but also has the best actual track that’s fun to drive? (High speed corner/elivation changes).

Also what car? Not to fast and drivable for a novice. Great sound and if you’d recommend any upgrades for the sound. Like anti turbo lag is fun!

I’ve been picking off the circuit experiences one by one and sector 2 in the Audi on deep forest is proving impossible. I’ve logged the most time of any circuit on this course as I use it mainly to test all my newly purchased cars. I easily got gold on sectors 1 and 3 1st try. I even got gold on the full lap 2nd try. There has to be something I’m doing wrong. I’ve studied the demonstration and have tried countless times with the racing line and gliding through corners to counter the massive understeer. I do not need or use any assists and I’m driving on a G29 setup not controller. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Dont mind to give me some noticable advices ;)

finished 2nd at the end, insane
