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!

Go on son. I still need to do that.

I used automatic and TCS 1 aswell on a controller 
. If i had a wheel and pedals id try manual, but flicking X and square for gears is too unnatural as a driving style for me, and to do it over 6 minutes and 40 is too distracting. But i kept on the arse of the ghost where i was only 2 seconds behind half way round (usually sat around 3+) and then the second half i just remembered where the flat out bits were and over done the brakes on a few safe corners. Everything nearly went slowmotion as i rounded the last corner to see 6.33.00 knowing it was going to go to the wire .

This is really great news. GT7 and No mans sky VR are going to keep me busy for a while I reckon.
I can't believe how awesome GT7 is with a steering wheel setup, add VR to that and ...
Which wheel did you go for? I'm really tempted.This is really great news. GT7 and No mans sky VR are going to keep me busy for a while I reckon.

I went for the Fanatec DD Pro GT edition with loaded pedals.
I got it second hand off Fleabay, perfect condition and genuinely a game changer. Came with a frame and spare F1 wheel too. F1 games are now incredible whereas before they were so hard to handle and control.
I knew as soon as I played GT7 when it came out I needed a wheel, everything else about the game was at such realistic levels, the controller was it's biggest handicap. Always wanted one but could never justify the expense. Yes it was expensive but it has levelled up every single driving game instantly.

Literally spent the weekend packing my G29 and Playseat away, incoming child so the sacrifice had to be made, didn’t even get 10 months out of it.
Sad times dude but congrats, you’ll be way too busy for a while
Or a sad fecker who is old enough to know better, depending on who you askLiving the dream
Yeah just the next 16 years at least. I think I may as well cut my losses on it and sell up.Sad times dude but congrats, you’ll be way too busy for a while
Yeah, sounds about right. Mine are 18 and 15 now so I’m coming out of the other end. Golden pastures dude.
Just got a basic wheel and want a setup. When you can get back into it and teach a noob, I'm here my friend.
I've always wanted to drive you off the road all these years.
Serious though, I hated the G29 brake pedal with some passion, it took me a good 6 months to adjust to it and even match my controller pace, finally cracked it and knocked up the missus, sods law.
You have to remind me what I said to elicit this response!
But you'll be grand mate, kids are only as hard as you make them. Trust me on that front, you don't have to be worried and give up your passions.
I'm only kidding, still appreciate the Weaste PS3 cell wars.You have to remind me what I said to elicit this response!

Aye it's more of a space issue for now, I had a handy little home office/games room that's now a nursery. I'll get back into it at some point, perhaps I'll finally renovate the garage I've been promising to do for.......3 years.
Well we can make a deal, you can swap driving tips and I'll swap parenting tips
Sounds like a deal to me.Well we can make a deal, you can swap driving tips and I'll swap parenting tips
Lesson One, gold all the GT7 licenses
