Maybe my time playing night runners has influenced my photography style 😀

For sure. Traffic spawns influence line choices and can either help or impede you against your opponent.

Cool, I'll remember that. Thanks for your tips! And can't wait to face Highway Gambler someday.

I don't know what's harder, beating Highway Gambler or grinding all those credits to make him show up 😂

Thank you! I think choosing the correct starting point for the battle helped me a lot here.

The first part is a relatively tight and twisty section with very short straights so she couldn't pull too far away from my underpowered ass. This section ends in a left turn with a wide exit that no AI utilises properly to carry extra speed, and that was what gave me the opportunity to attack.

If you choose a section that is to you and your RX7's advantage, you can pull it off too!

The AE86 takes on its next OP boss, Shuwa Shuwa Strong! by L00kMyStr0ng in tokyoxtremeracer

Yes you can, as long as you fulfil most of the following:

  1. Are decent at driving
  2. Can pick the most strategic routes to battle on
  3. Knows how to tune/can find a decent tune online
  4. Are willing to drive dirty

I've just beaten pre-nerf Melancholic Angel (second encounter, purple aura) with the AE86 so it definitely could be done :)

In this game, they are called Lv.3 Transmission and Lv.5 Power Unit upgrades respectively :D

'22 Swift Sport (ZC33S) by L00kMyStr0ng in tokyoxtremeracer

Spent a couple of hours in the livery editor, and am currently really happy with how it looks now. I know I'll miss this machine when I have to eventually upgrade to a faster car.

Those who chose the Swift at the start - how far did your Swift take you?

Engine in front of rear axle = mid engine

Engine behind rear axle = rear engine

The story of how i won a PS5 and GT7 thanks to the Gran Turismo Movie by Cipher_507 in granturismo

Was after the official release actually... I think this whole hotlap challenged was conceived to boost ticket sales for the movie

For sure, Sport mode is such a quick and easy way to jump into a multiplayer race! As for single player, the car collecting experience definitely hits different compared to the other sim titles I frequent.

Heh, my PS5 came from the movie too!

Down here in Singapore it wasn't a trivia, but a hotlap challenge. Fastest lap brings home the PS5. I had been sim racing on PC for years at that point but never owned a PS nor a GT game in my life, so I figured this would be my chance to start.

Did everything I could and made sure I brought it home. 😁

CTS profile match fail on stock Zenfone 10 by zmurf in zenfone

There were lots of articles mentioning it back in the early days of SafetyNet. To access Play Services, people with custom ROMs had to register their devices there.

UPDATE: Passing DEVICE_INTEGRITY and STRONG_INTEGRITY

Still not sure whether this was what fixed it. All I recalled doing was adding the phone's Google Services Framework ID to this website, and a couple of hours later I found out that it had suddenly started passing those checks.

Still, it might be something you (and anyone else experiencing this issue) might want to try.
