You don't want none of this!

If you have a PS4 and buy GT7 I think we can race online. I've been at this since Christmas, I've built a garage of about 225+ cars (well over 100 million credits) and have gold on all license except the last license test but I have silver on most of them. I've beaten all the races and even all the challenges included in the updates except one.

I can't drift and have no interest in learning so I have to settle for silver in those drift trials. No, I didn't watch any of the Fast and Furious movies.

Spa is not my favorite track. I had to race it at night against equally powered cars in the rain. I beat it with Porsche's Living Legend 917 which is a virtual reproduction of some older model. No, it wasn't a fair fight. The computer can't drive when the road is wet. It's way too conservative and applies brakes gradually rather than tapping them intermittently. It sounds good on paper but in actuality the machine more respects the speed of the car on a slick road when the brake is tapped.

Spa wasn't a prominent track on the previous versions of GT.

I do not know the qualifications required to race online. I'm sure you'd need a PS4 or 5 and GT7 and I'm guessing you'd need to pass all the (challenges) presented in the licensing center. Maybe not but you'd have to buy at least one car.

Imo, Sarth, which has been renamed is my favorite track on this version of GT because you can run the 24 hour race in 30 minutes. It's always in the light of day and the rain shows up in 7 or 8 of every 10 times you race it. First place pays 550K credits with a bonus of 50% if you don't passs cars when the yellow flag is out. That's where I got all the money to buy most of those cars. IDK if I can give cars away online but if so I will furnish you any car you want from my garage.

As I said before, there is no 'Rookie,' level on these tracks. The fans have complained that the computer runs tracks too perfectly to beat. I'm not one of them though solving some challenges took me a lot of precious time.

If you feel froggy, jump! lol

The 24 Hours of Le Mans track has several races on GT7.

The one which has dark and rain is a higher Power Points race. I think it's 800 or less. The 7 lap race with just rain has a 700 PP qualification so I use the Ford LM GT which can be reduced to below that.

On long tracks I set most cars up to max speed for the longest straight by gearing them down. With a fully adjustable transmission you can set the ratio of each gear including the output shaft. Usually, dallying around with those will work unless you're in a race which includes a long track and several laps. At that point fuel consumption comes into play.

Figuring out whether you can finish faster without a pit stop will win some races, Toyko, so the car might not have the power to keep up with the top of the field but the time saved (40-50+ seconds) might put you across the finish line first. There are many advanced races which have steep penalties for shorting the track or touching a wall. I reckon they don't like paint on their walls?

GT7 offers a weather map on the HUD. Some races will have rain coming so you have to pit to get correct tires, find a balance between that and other considerations.

I might have an extra PS4 laying around somewhere. I know we had a few and I choose to keep only the one which first came out, it had a 20g HDD in it.

Dude can still play a piano, but has a very hard time

I can't think of anybody I'd pay 4 figgers to see,

Waaaaay back in the day, I saw Black Sabbath, Van Halen,

Tom Petty

Saw Petty. Great, but not 4 figures great.

I wouldn't pay 4 figures for anybody. Tom was the best.

The Stones in a small venue. Less than 3000

I'd like to see Neil again but I don't think it could beat

Rockin in the Free World has held up surprisingly well.

He was super grungy that night, lots of feedback, etc

I was always partial to "This notes for you"

Nobody.

But if we went back to the 1970s, 4 figures would be like 5.

U just blew my mind. Don't you mean 3 instead of 5.***

Ratt and Cinderella, shared bill.***

He was my first concert as a 11 yr old

I got free tix to Elton last time he was in town. We were at
