Gaming Gran Turismo 7 (PS4/PS5) | Full game and online multiplayer confirmed in free PS VR2 update

I think the hardest part for me is remembering the tracks :lol: one track I remembered pretty much after 1 lap, it just seemed to flow how I thought it would. Even tracks from other entries in the series I forget.

Nightmare on a long track when you lose track of where you're at. Wrong turn and boom!

Did you gold the Nuremburg lap attack yet? I have two sectors left to complete before attempting it myself :lol:. I don't forsee me ever doing it tbh, not unless i ditch the controller and spend a few hundred quid on a wheel and pedals.

nope. I’m purposely leaving that and Le Mans for last. :lol:

I only have those two, Alsace and the Bugatti one left to do and then I will have golded everything in the game.

Le Mans is nearly impossible on controller.

I saw that, apparently was easier before patching. I also read that GT Sport was far easier than this game in terms of circuit experience. I didn’t play it so would not know.
 
Golded circuit experience on the 24h circuit! So many times I’d have a good lap only to blow it on the max speed curvy corners at the end. If you turn even slightly too sharply on the controller stick, you lose total control. Thankfully managed to build up enough buffer to coast through parts of that section with just enough time in hand.

nice. Haven’t tried it yet but seems tough from what I’ve read and watched on YouTube.

I’ve taken a break from circuit experiences to do some trophy stuff. Just need to do 50 sport races and get the three legendary cars to platinum.
 
9/15 circuit experiences gold in Europe now. Including 24h Le Mans, the Bugatti, and the Audi in sardegna (and that bloody dirt track). The hardest for me was actually the lambo in Barcelona. 6 left (the ones on the right essentially).

Then on to Asia.

And still have that long dirt track in the US to do (done sectors but not the lap), but don’t think I can bear that.

I only have Le Mans and Nurburgring to do now. Don’t know when I will be able to mentally put myself through it.
 
New races and update are good. The Endurance race is what everything should be like going forward.

Big money too… and able to repeat it unlike missions.

Also is anybody struggling with the final human comedy mission. Holy feck balls. I’m consistent doing 1’58’s low 1’59’s and can’t even get close to the leaders. Something is cooked with this.

Yes. It was hard. You’re doing the right thing though. With a good strat you should be able to do it.
 
Apparently the new update has made Le Mans and Nurburgring easier in terms of CE so get on it.

Easier like how? Improved tyre grip or something? I've tried a few times but yet to get close to the gold time on the Nurburgring.

Rear wheel drive cars handling has been improved so both of those tracks should be easier now.
 
I didn’t even know there was a different layout for Spa for the 24hr, where is the difference?

I think it’s just an extension of the pit lane and start.

Interesting, not had time to play in the last week or so but will hopefully get chance this week.

I also got an email from Curry’s giving me a code to unlock:

Content includes:
- 100,000 CR (in-game credit)
- Three-car pack, including
MAZDA RX-VISION GT3 CONCEPT Stealth Model
Porsche 917 LIVING LEGEND
Toyota Supra GT500 '97 (Castrol TOM'S).

Because of my qualifying pre-order purchase that I’d forgotten about so that’s nice!
 
I’d do the Le Mans CE if you haven’t yet. I did a terrible lap and still managed to get gold. :lol: Wouldn’t be surprised if they lowered it or amended the car again.

completed all the Nurburgring sectors now. Can’t bring myself to try the full lap yet.

Hopefully better for full grids than the last one. I did the 8 lapped online “enduro” - I started about 200meters before the bus stop. I had to brake before before the chicane after the race had started…

That’s kinda similar to the Nurburgring circuit experience, which I started last night, for the first sector it counts you in and you then have to brake almost (but not quite) immediately for Sabine Schmitz Kurve otherwise you’re too deep and have no hope of beating the time.

Speaking of that CE challenge, I’ve now golded the first 7 sectors I think, and I’m absolutely dreading the full lap :lol:

yeah, there were two or three sectors I really struggled to gold on that CE which is fine on other tracks because of how short they are but in a 6:30 lap having to restart it is going to be a pain in the arse.
 
What have they done to CE? After having to grind for ages on, for example, the 24H Le Mans track, I’m now golding some of these on the first go. Even Spa. Why has it got to be so extreme

Spa was really easy before the update. Some of them just are. Monza and Spa were v. easy. I agree though that there isn't a good balance with it at times.

I should start this as well. I actually find lemans harder than Nurburgring.

The issue, for me anyway, is that with Le Mans, the hardest but was doing the lap. Not screwing up the fast swirly section at the end is bloody hard. With Nurburgring because the car is actually really easy and predictable to drive, the issue is actually the time. Which makes it hard because to beat gold you actually need an incredible lap and to do that consistently for 6 and a half minutes is bloody near impossible.

Watching the ghost slowly move into the distance is soul destroying :lol:

I’ve only given it a few goes so far as I’ve not been back to it since, but I think the furthest I got was Wipperman before binning it because I was pushing too hard. It’s going to be a right twat, it’s such a fast time required.
 
The lap on both is hard because you have to remember to yourself you’re able to go flat out/almost flat out on certain corners which makes you poo yourself when you’re 2-3 minutes deep into a lap. :lol:

:lol: so true, and even then you have to turn in early due to the sheer speed you’re carrying so even when you can be flat out it’s easy to get it wrong and fall off the track.
 
:lol: yep. I’ve completed a lap, being I would say in the middle between safe and pushing, and it came in around 6m 54. So somehow need to shave like 20 seconds for gold. :lol:
