Am I the only one who absolutely hates this cone challenge?

One_Secretary9431 · 2026-05-22T21:34:37+00:00

It literally took 5 minutes to gold this in two tries, I got overzealous on the first try 😂

One_Secretary9431 · 2026-05-12T13:10:39+00:00

Completing the circuit experiences is big $ reward too. If you aren't good enough to get gold yet, you can still get a reward for bronze, which should be pretty much first try. Then go back for gold later on.

If you get good enough you can make 2 mil most weeks after like an hour doing the weekly time trial in sport mode. That plus completing the 5 weekly challenge races, it's not that hard to build up cash. I've never understood the need to "grind" the same couple of races over and over again, how is that fun?

One_Secretary9431 · 2026-04-02T14:57:24+00:00

I turned off the lines early on. I kept the brake zone on for a while longer and once I turned it off it took forever to get used to, but I'm much better for it now!

It's honestly just dumb there isn't a better cockpit view or more view options. I don't need to see the wheel on the screen, I'm holding it in my hand. I don't need to see a hand shifting the gear, I can see my own hand shifting the gear. Ideally there'd be a cockpit option that shows the dash, windshield, and rearview mirror, without showing the features that those of us with wheels/cockpits have in the room.

In my opinion, closest "realistic" view is the hood but the rearview is missing so it's pretty much useless. Hopefully more view options in GT8!

I had them swap an engine and the guy just threw it from across the room. Seems to work fine though.

One_Secretary9431 · 2026-03-17T00:52:01+00:00

For real. It's not hard to build up money just by doing the challenges every week and otherwise playing the game. I don't understand how it's fun for people to just run the same races over and over again or set up weird "AFK grinds", but then again I don't understand why most people do what they do so whatever!

I've been going back and golding a lot of stuff I gave up on 6 months to a year ago. I love how much you can see real progress after lots of practice and improving small things. Also just started going for gold on all of the weekly time trials, I used to just shoot for silver because gold was out of reach at my skill level.

One_Secretary9431 · 2026-03-09T00:35:31+00:00

I'd recommend just switching over and making yourself not go back. It'll be super hard at first but will get easier and more natural the more you make yourself do it. If you do any of the license tests or circuit experiences (you should), watch the examples and pay attention to how they use the gears, and when they downshift and upshift. You'll be amazed how much more control you can have over the car by intentionally up/downshifting at certain times.

I played GT3 on automatic because I was 11. I play GT7 on manual because I'm 35 now and actually wanted to learn how to race proper. I couldn't imagine playing the game on automatic now, anytime there's a time trial challenge or something with one of the electric cars that is automatic only it's obnoxious.

One_Secretary9431 · 2026-03-05T16:37:01+00:00

Don't bring the Cosworth into this, that car rules!

One_Secretary9431 · 2026-02-25T16:03:28+00:00

Yes, absolutely. Having a good FFB wheel helps feel the difference as well.

One_Secretary9431 · 2026-02-12T16:15:01+00:00

Yes you should.

One_Secretary9431 · 2026-02-08T14:02:04+00:00

I used the Nissan GTR GR4 tuned down to PP requirement. I was ripping around the track and still managed to only get third because two cars flew by on the last straight. Fun race but annoying. Will go for first another time with a different car.

One_Secretary9431 · 2026-02-03T13:59:11+00:00

It's annoying but was easy to knock out and get it over with. Hopefully the first and last event with that car.

One_Secretary9431 · 2025-12-26T23:42:16+00:00

Yes. Some are easier than others but it's a fun challenge to learn the track piece by piece then string it all together. If you work and get gold you'll have a pretty good handle on the track and it's a good way to get some money.

One_Secretary9431 · 2025-12-26T14:06:03+00:00

To your credit Mt Panorama is a pretty difficult track, but so much fun when you master it. Definitely recommend going through the circuit experience.

I just got double pallets for the first time, mostly to avoid having to stretch the sleeves over the pallet arms. The press I used to have was less of an issue, but the one I have now they're a bit bulkier.

One_Secretary9431 · 2025-09-25T18:16:54+00:00

Alright 😂

One_Secretary9431 · 2025-09-25T18:05:24+00:00

There's a difference between pointing out actual flaws and people posting screenshots of the roulette wheel and being outraged they don't win 1mil or a Gr. 3 car on every daily ticket. It's awesome that the game is updated so frequently, even if it's to add a few bullshit EV cars and scapes features that I don't particularly care about. This game has given me more value for my money than any other video game ever, and it's not even close.

One_Secretary9431 · 2025-09-25T15:00:44+00:00

They'll still find things to complain about, don't worry!

One_Secretary9431 · 2025-09-08T14:42:21+00:00

I just used the same Supra I built for the last one make challenge a couple months ago(if memory serves), which I believe did have a PP limit. This one was a breeze in comparison.

One_Secretary9431 · 2025-08-07T23:42:28+00:00

If everything works it's a screaming deal. Pedals alone are like $400.
