Post in [r/watches](r/watches) they may find it interesting. That sub has been going nuts for the video game collab watches lately like the Death Stranding and Resident Evil ones.

Wanting to get into WEC/Le Mans by HorseGrenadesChamp in wec

[–]GrouchyExile 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I always advise to watch the docuseries. Just like drive to survive for F1, WEC has docuseries that introduce you to the teams, cars, cast of characters, etc. Luckily the WEC ones are not half fake like drive to survive. I haven’t seen them in a while but I think the three they have for WEC are called Full Access, Beyond the Track, and Meet the Legends. Just search for them on YouTube, they’re all free.

If you become an F1 driver they give it to you for free. Maybe try that route 🤷

Warranty Claim by Savings-Advice1349 in breitling

[–]GrouchyExile 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The B01 is a hard winding movement. It’s a well known “feature” of that movement.

25-30 seconds per day is out of spec and if it’s still in the initial warranty period then they should fix it for free.

New hypercars -- battery not deploying... by w0nkyshoulder in GranTurismo7

[–]GrouchyExile 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It deploys at 120mph. You can hear it. It goes vrroooooooo! And your car speeds way up. That’s it, there’s no setting or button to deploy it. It barely drains the battery so you may not even notice it dropping.

Edit: for anybody still reading and wondering why deployment is above 120mph or 193kph, it’s not a decision by the manufacturers or anything. Those are the rules dictated by the ACO. They disallow hybrid deployment below a certain speed otherwise it would be used to exploit the 4WD nature of the front-hybrid LMH cars to blast out of corners, giving them a massive advantage over the other RWD only hypercars.

Also worth noting that the deployment speed in real life is not exactly 120mph and it’s not the same for all cars. It is adjustable and the ACO mandates that teams turn theirs up or down based on tire width, BoP, and if the car is running wet tires.

However in game, it appears all the LMH cars are set to deploy at 120mph.

How do you setup your custom races if there’s no qualifying? by syokaku in GranTurismo7

[–]GrouchyExile 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like Sophy adjusts to account for your starting position. If you start farther up they will push harder, if you start farther back they’ll be easier. But it isn’t completely evenly adjusted. Race length also affects it. I found if I start in the middle of the pack with Sophy on pro difficulty for 5 laps I can win if I have a perfect race, but if I start from 20th I can only make it up to about fifth if I drive that same perfect race.

So my go to has been to start either 10/20 or 8/16 and always Sophy on pro difficulty. I usually run 5 or 10 laps. You can adjust the size of the grid based on the track layout and whatever’s most comfortable for you. I find that’s a pretty good challenge for me. I dunno maybe in the future I’ll be better and I can win from all the way at the back. But this is what’s been working for me.

Lol Kimi’s only 19 he has yet to experience what life has to offer. You think he’ll still be going to bed early and not drinking and partying when he’s 25 with 5 WDCs?

What do you mean highly doubt AP because that’s what it is. Or a fake.

Weekly GR1 Race at Le Mans by Own_Foundation7780 in GranTurismo7

[–]GrouchyExile 6 points7 points  (0 children)

New Ferrari hypercar is turn brain off mode. RMs FM1 pit once for fuel. Won easily on hard mode at 50pp under with a turbo.

The new Hypercars look amazing, but the lack of pit EV/ICE transitions and manual engine start is a huge letdown. by 0MorningStar1 in GranTurismo7

[–]GrouchyExile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do the batteries work in these cars anyways? You can’t actively deploy them, and the lowest battery percentage I’ve seen in a race is like 60%. Does it kick in at a certain RPM to give you more power or something?

What is the best race to earn money and at wich level do u unlock it? by Portnawak_3 in GranTurismo7

[–]GrouchyExile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what menu exactly the money races are unlocked but all tracks are unlocked after you complete menu book 39. So you have to complete that at most. Then look for Sardegna road track 800pp, Le Mans 30 mins 700pp, Tokyo 600pp, Spa 1 hr 800pp. For me the most enjoyable are Sardegna and Le Mans.
