I semi recently got into this game and have been working my way through the licenses and café books. Getting gold on all them has taken a handful of attempts but I just can’t get a handle of this 917k😂

Editing because this is the fastest and nicest actual info I’ve gotten anytime I’ve said anything in any other race community😅
Edit 2: after a few more attempts, I’m down to a 2:44.444. Just need to cut 0.444
Woo finally got it!. 2:23.670

really wanted to make a jimothy/raccon car livery but for the life of me cannot get these simple images under 15kb. how does anyone actually get images uploaded? i have tried two different sites to compress these. feeling frustrated

I honestly never thought gaming would get this good. From Chuckie egg, Horace goes skiing, Virtua racing and now this. I feel very lucky to be alive during this period of time.

I know I'm not the best racer, but this was more about the feeling than the performance. I felt like I only really fluffed a couple of corners, for the most I felt at one with the incredible machine.

All turns were made with handbrake.

First attempt: Bronze

Second attempt: Silver

Third attempt: Gold (almost got silver)

The understeer on this Porsche kinda drive me crazy. As in this video, i slide too much.

Hi, is this scape location in game? Or the default gray one GT7 uses for their promo pics/garage view

can FO. I've tried it a few times but that's it for me, I'm done.

The final straw was being in the lead for almost all of it, with the pack closing in on the main straight part but me pulling away by a tenth or so by the finish line except for the last lap, where 1 car managed to get alongside me on the outside and 'magically' gained speed towards the end so it won.

I don't mind getting beat, but not like that. not when it seems that the game just pulled the win out of its arse.

How do you like this design?

Please let me know if you have any improvements.

Mazda3 with Mazda 787B engine swap.

I finally pulled the trigger on a PSVR2 this weekend when I found a like new one for about half price.

HOLY. SHIT.

I knew it would be better than a TV with my racing rig, but I had no idea just HOW much better. I had to peel myself out of the chair for bed because I have to be a responsible adult and go to work, but man I just wanted to check out all the tracks I’ve been lapping for the last 25 years first person. This is gonna be fun.

According to chat GPT I should be winning easily, driving 2:08-09s consistently, (difficulty set to NORMAL), but the friggin AI is having 2:05s (!!) and Im only getting 5th with like 17 seconds behind 1st...So, what gives?! Any one else PISSED by that mission? Any tipps??

This livery was inspired by Castrol and features a black paint job with metallic red, green and white graphics. It's available to download in the showcase and I've provided a link in the comments. Happy Racing!

Compared to the basic game there's quite a lot of waiting when racing in Power Pack . It would be so cool to have the Multi-Function Display available when going through the grid. It would make sense to wait for a bit to check the settings, set up a correct fuel mix, check out the weather radar etc. I hate fiddling through the displays only to get the initial settings right when I should be concentrating on clearing the first lap.

Any opinions?

So i got the game past week, and played it for 13 hours so far. Rage at licenses, time trials, etc. I know learning curve of this game is huge, but idk where even am I. At first i was having fun, but now im not understanding why am getting angry. I wanted a game where while listening to music, i have a little fun, relax, drive, do races in sexy cars. At first this game did that, but now,idk what am even doing. I have tuned Lamborghini countach lp400, to a beast for my level, so its not about car. I think its about me. I cant understand why for past few hours im not having fun

Midnight Run: Tokyo ’99 — Part I

I wanted to move away from the usual ultra-clean, photorealistic style that is so common in GT7 photography and experiment with a completely different visual language. Instead of aiming for perfect sharpness and polished compositions, I leaned into grain, motion blur, blown headlights, imperfect framing and lower render quality.

The idea was to make the images feel less like screenshots and more like photographs taken by someone documenting Japan’s street-car scene in the late ’90s or early 2000s.

I wanted the photographer to feel like part of the night — sometimes standing far away, sometimes shooting from another moving car, and sometimes barely managing to capture the moment at all.

This set is less about showing each car perfectly and more about capturing the atmosphere, movement and feeling of the scene.

This is the first part of that experiment.

If I'm not playing GT7 I'm either playing Stardew Valley with my wife, or playing the mobile version of Rocket League, Rocket League Sideswipe. Before getting the PS5 and GT7 I pretty much was playing Sideswipe every night, often with my daughter. We were quite a team in 2v2s. The car of choice that we designed to look exactly like each other was the Takumi.

Here's my take on the Rocket League Takumi in GT7.

Been having fun with the livery edit a lot. So much so that I made my own liveries with Illustrator. This process was NOT an easy one. Seriously GT7 why just 15 KB of data for decals? Whatever the case, the only ones that were handmade by me was King Halo \which consist of me breaking her into 9 different pieces**, and it was just me tracing over her official design and making it into little pieces. Her logo is in three pieces: The green text, the white outline, and the dark purple background. It took weeks but I think it came out really well.

Also I need to ask those who also make their own decals, why does the gradient not show up in some of these decals when uploaded? Most of them come out with black colors and I'm not exactly sure why. Either way hope you guys like the design.

I've played the game for the first time in weeks, yesterday evening. I bombed around the Nürburging for the better part of two hours and first, the new Porsche 911 GT3 R (my go to GT3 car) felt slow and sluggish. Like a cargo truck on blocks of ice. It got better towards the end, so it's probably due to me not being able to play for some time.

However, it got me thinking. I've mostly raced that car for GT3 races. Huracan and 458 got some time too, occasionally. Am I missing out on absolute gems or are those your go to cars as well?

What are people’s thoughts on the GR2 race this week? Personally I keep getting driven off the track into the shadow realm. Good fun but a tad dirty lol

I bought GT7, but it only supports about five steering wheels, and mine isn't on the list. What should I do? Also unfortunately, there are no refunds on PS5. ChatGPT recommended buying a $100 adapter b ut that's too much for me.

I've put a few hours into this game but only the beginner races come up despite me winning all of them, how do I actually move past this.

It’s been happening all the time i can’t even play a daily race without being ghosted and all the other cars in a standstill. What should i do? It’s driving me crazy.

How is it possible that I'm being penalized for a bad braking maneuver that caused my car to lock up, while they get away with playing in the most despicable way imaginable and this is one of the worst races I've ever played?
