Thank you for your continued support and please continue to enjoy Gran Turismo 7!
There’s a glitch tune for the Dodge Tomahawk X that gets you down to under 600PP. (For me I got down to 497 )
This let’s you enter the WTC600 race at Tokyo Expressway. Takes about 19 minutes with no pitting needed if you set your fuel map to like 4.
Nets 825,000 credits with a meaningless “clean” race bonus. I was bumping in to barriers and the AI cars and still got it
Regarding an Issue with the ‘Invitation’ feature of Brand Central
Unfortunately we have found an issue in the ‘Invitation’ feature of Brand Central in Update 1.11.
It has been confirmed that the expiration date of the ‘Invitations’ can inadvertently become shorter during gameplay.
We will be releasing an update to correct this problem very soon.
With this patch, we will also be sending out invitations to players from all 7 manufacturers listed below:
・Aston Martin
・Bugatti
・Citroën
・Ferrari
・Lamborghini
・Pagani
・Porsche
We apologize for the inconvenience to our players and ask for your patience as we prepare the patch.
I’ve accumulated 10 million credits so I can buy:
Porsche Carrera GT
Ferrari LaFerrari, Enzo and FXX.
Hoping the F40 shows up again in the Legends dealership too. Was “only” 1.3 mill credits.

Reason: Fixn auto correct
I don't think the World Touring 600 race is available for me yet. I'm still too n00bish in my advancement in the game though it's more to do with my obsessions with Golds. That is also combined with my shorter playing times...just enough usually for 3-4 races tops for the Cafe missions...and/or a license/test.
At the following time, we will perform general bug fixes and game update maintenance on the Gran Turismo 7 servers.

Ask Yumcha if he 1) knows how to buy the right car and 2) if he knows how to farking tune.
And wait...3) if he knows how to pit properly.
If you said to all three, you get a ...
They defiantly made the higher PP races harder, rain, tire selection, pitting and a AI that will drive thought you, they are challenging, i just spent a few nights on the 730 PP Daytona 10 lap race, till i hit everything right and finally got 1st .

Yeah, okay...so mebbe I'm not the only one.
Yesterday, was finally my first day clear of the Cafe Missions...so, an exercise in fail for me: I tried the Circuit de la Sarthe -- the 4ish minute per lap course that has a couple of nice crazy straight-aways...Both attempts were just comedic in stupid from me. In a heavily modded 911 with a reduced HP to meet the PP requirements, I did great until it rained. I didn't think to pit to change out my tires and spun out pitifully...this does not count me crashing catastrophically TWICE getting into the pits.
Second attempt, on lap 7 of 8, I run out of fuel because somehow, I must have aborted the refuel and/or miscalculated how many laps I had left (8 you nimrod...not 7!) and died about 1 minute away from the finish line.
Yea it’s easy to accidentally cancel the tire change and/or fuel change. I’ve done it before.
Thankfully I pitted 2 laps before I ran out of fuel. So I got to go around the track again.
Pitting sure takes a long time too...takes several seconds before the car actually SHOWS up into the pit itself. My crew is standing there in formation for quite a few Mississippis.
I would be happy if they had 700, 730 and 800 PP races at every paved track (i don't bother with the dirt stuff, the offroad physics is fucked in GT7), and some new tracks, mid ohio, road america, road atlanta, sebring, sonoma, or VIR? Ive done most of the existing (700-800 PP races) already and don't care to play online.
Yea. Like I just completed a race that netted me 825,000. That 5,000 credits is just a slap in the face.
It's not even a what-if...you get a 4-star ticket/gift and you know it stops on the worst present...and in those, it's usually 10K. Awful.
I've never gotten a triple gold-bar. Or hell, a gold bar. The Bugatti Veyron racecar that was in the daily gift a few days ago? Complete mockery and tease.
(Please note the above times are subject to change.)
During this period only "Arcade Race" within "World Circuits" will be available to play, but various online features including "Sport" mode will not be accessible.
Also, game progress cannot be saved while the servers are offline. To save the current status of the game, the console must be reconnected online after the end of the server maintenance.
