Lads where the feck are the Go karts and what's the best one. Just after getting back into this after a long break. Also what's the best GR3 Car, WRX?
I went back to this challenge this morning and legit my first reaction was “wahey rpitroda golded it!”. For around an hour after that I was various levels of raging as I still couldn’t get close.
However, I did watch the demo lap just to see how close I needed to be to the ghost as it invariably pulls away after Adenau Forst, and was pleased to see the ghost is a 6:28 lap so don’t need to be overly worried about that.
I think my best time is around 5 secs off gold so I’m sure I’ll get there eventually.
Nice! Basically what happened to me was I’d tried it so many times that for the first 3 or so minutes of the lap I was probably no more than a second behind the ghost. But after that because I’d hardly reach that far that often, I was nowhere near as fast. But together just crept under.

Its definitely makeable, but just takes time because (at least for me) it Is just a case of basically memorising the track and the braking points. The car itself thankfully is pretty consistent and stable.
I’ve golded all the circuit experiences now except the long dirt one in the Americas, which I don’t think is happening any time soon. Think I’m going to do the missions next.
There was a few points on the demo lap where I thought to myself “holy crap” because the speed it was carrying through certain corners or the sector splits were considerably better then I’m achieving. However I’m definitely more confident after seeing the overall demo lap time.
Golding all circuit experiences is very impressive, well done!
Thanks, but I think all it shows is I have far too much time on my hands / have no life
First full lap was 5 seconds off. I'll come back to it I think. Can certainly see where I can pick time up so not too fussed. Its just shit there is little indication through the lap that you're on course.
Im on controller and i have lost the will to play GT7 after not being able to better a 3 second gap for golding the Nurburgring. Ive tried the whole course on 3 TCS and 0 TCS and I just can't get nearer. My friend says move on and go back to it, but getting disinterested instead which is a shame.
otcs and play around with the brake bias… but yeah take a break. You’re probably in a rythm. I suggest take the same car on the same track and just do laps and practice without the fear of reset make mistakes
Agree with @mariachi-19 come back to it later. Watch the demo though, that should help. After the hours I spent on it, I would note:
- Corners before the long flat-out sections have to be perfected. Otherwise you just continue to lose time throughout the straights.
- There are some corners which don’t seem flat out, but are. Again have to nail these.
- The car surprised you in some corners and makes the corner at a higher speed than seems intuitive, gotta figure these out and build the confidence to throw it in on these.
- It’s a long track, and you’ve got a buffer from the ghost. I just couldn’t nail certain corners, eventually I just realised to take what I could from them and accept as if I didn’t I’d feck them up each time.
I did it on controller and think I either did 2 or 3 TCS.
I’ve been messing around with settings this morning and can’t believe the difference it made going from 1 to 0 on TCS. I thought I was nailing the first few minutes and couldn’t understand why the ghost was moving away so much, turns out TCS scrubs off enormous amounts of speed through the really fast sweeping bends.
I’ve not been able to put together a good complete lap yet, but have been around 2 seconds faster just to the exit of Adenau Forst which is nuts when I already thought I was nailing that section.
Definitely confident now, just need to keep at it and knit it all together.

I've just got a PS5 (wohoo) and am looking for games to buy. I'm massively tempted by this, however:
- I have never, ever played a GT game. My only previous Playstation was the PS4 and I was pretty much Nintendo + Sega only when growing up. (the dream team) Didn't get GT Sport, so this may be my first GT.
- I don't have hours upon hours to sink into this game. I may only play for up to an hour a night or for a bit longer on weekends, due to work. (my wife is currently playing Elden Ring, so will also need to balance using the PS5 with her)
- I don't have real experience with racing games of this type. There wasn't a huge abundance on the PS4, although I really enjoyed Drive Club. Played Need for Speed Most Wanted on the WiiU and enjoyed that, but that's a different sort of game to this.
- I'm not technical whatsoever when it comes to cars.
Would GT7 be a good fit? Would I get enough out of it despite being a complete novice, or is there a better suited racer already out/on the horizon for me to look at? I like the look of it but get worried that I'll get bogged down with all this technical stuff that I have no clue about.

Its a great game but realistically you'd be wanting to spend 2+hours in each sitting in the evenings. Depending on what level of completion you'd be aiming for that is. If you can just be happy with Bronze times then moving on etc its fine, but to get gold lap times and gold challenges its alot harder and you can spend 2-3 evenings trying to just do that.I've just got a PS5 (wohoo) and am looking for games to buy.

But its a great game, stunning graphics on the PS5. Definitely recommend it.

As above, it depends on what you're happy with. I'd say it can be played casually but only if you're happy with quite slow progress.
I have been using the ghost on the Nurburgring, and then thought id have the ghost reset on each sector. It used to work fine but recently the ghost just carries on? and no matter what I do do it stays the same even with the setting on or off. Any easy fix?
Also, can't believe in 2022 they can't save a ghost. Takes a serious amount of effort to complete a decent lap thar i can use as a ghost, and one close of the app means it's completely wiped. Its ridiculous. Wheres a cloud save?

Cheers for the responses, guys.
Would I be missing out on an awful lot if I played it casually? What's the benefit exactly of going for gold lap times and gold challenges?
Leaning towards giving it a go, because at least it would be something pretty to look at.

It’s really as challenging as you want it to be, or let it be.
If you’re happy achieving bronze times in the challenges there’s no issue with that whatsoever and god knows it’ll cause you less stress, and there’s lots to love about the general races etc.
It is, however, much more of a “sim” than any kind of arcade game; with braking points, speed management, tyres, suspension setup, acceleration control all being factors to consider rather then mashing the X button and just turning left and right.
There’s nothing wrong with arcade racers if you want them, just be aware that isn’t what this is, and you’ll be rewarded for patience, time, skill, and learning tracks etc.
Man some of these missions are butters
Also the mileage missions are a waste of my life
They need to make them better. Like, give me a race where I have 4 laps of fuel and 5 left to go against a bloke with more fuel than he needs on worn tyres. Not only does it challenge your fuel management, but also teaches you defensive techniques to keep a much faster car behind you
Literally anything is better than pressing the accelerator to then coast as much as you
can before you need to tap the accelerator again. I like your suggestion though.
Also whilst I’m in moan mode, why must I wait and watch the cars on one lap magic all start before me for 75 seconds FFS? Can’t it skip?
Any tips for the endurance races? Suggested cars?
Just got back into this but if you type human comedy gt7 into Reddit there should be a decent guide of what to use and strategies.
I have a long weekend to myself so I’ll be trying to grab the last of the circuit experiences. Trying to get 50 online races for the achievement but it’s effort. Too many cnuts and glitches.
I’ve generally really been enjoying the online racing. Haven’t played too much but got into a bit last weekend. I really can’t bring myself to do the long dirt CE in the Americas not the 30 minute and endurance missions. Or a lot of the circuit races that I didn’t do to complete the menu items either for that matter.
We got a Bathurst bop one this week with night day transition which I’m loving. I’m pretty bloody quick there.
FYI - for qualifying, leave your car on the track and walk away for 15 minutes until the sun comes up. I didn’t realise how accurate they’ve made the day/night transition including surface grip levels subject to time of day.
There’s actually considerable complexities to this physics model which I don’t think we all properly appreciate on the face of it because it’s not obvious.

Nice that they added more Cafe stuff. Finally some Gr. 1 racing.
Now that the update is out which has nerfed the Tomahawk which are the best races to grind? I want to get to 12m credits to get the last Le Mans car for the platinum achievement and then I’ll just play it whenever an update is out.
Well after a delay of a few months I have finally got this all updated and working with my Logitech wheel and pedals. Was confused as hell only finding the music mini game at first but into the main thing now.
This is gonna take a lot of practice for an old gamer.

It’s actually disgusting that you have to log in everyday to check if legend or used cars are in stock for you to complete achievements / menus. They’ve really pissed me off. I’m sitting with most of the game completed (aside from all cars purchased) and I’m just having to wait for one legend car to become available so I can platinum and the NSX 92 so I can complete a menu item.
Someone didn’t gold the final licence.
Finally hit the platinum. 
Wow! Good work, that’s quite a difficult plat no? Have you been mullering this pretty much since release?Finally hit the platinum.
For around 3 months I played it solidly. You don’t need to hit absolutely everything to get platinum, I still need to do the Nurburgring circuit experience lap and the new one that’s gone up. It’s not too difficult to achieve if you’re able to get golds on all licenses. It’s more time consuming than anything as you have to log 50 online races + wait for the legend cars to pop up which means checking in most days to see.
Yeah, that’s what I figured. Kudos anyway!
It’s so far the first iteration of the game where all the golds have eluded me and convinced me I needed a steering wheel setup.
Another update this week with 3 new cars
pontiac judge (who actually gives a feck about classic American muscle?)but more importantly a cayman gt4 and the McLaren mp4/4
purchased the gt4 and got it to gt4 rs spec and just wow. I love this car

So i made loads of progress at the beginning of the game, got a load of the circuit XP's done and thought id try my luck at the Nurbergring. Golded the sectors but could never gold the full lap. After many hours the best i did was 3 seconds shy. I gave up the game as a result and didn't touch it for a couple of months. Then this week i thought id give it another crack and after a few days of intermittently trying i managed to finally gold it at 2am last night! by 0.34 seconds too. Literally jumped for joy and now i can go back to enjoying the game and finishing the menu books again!
