GT7 Gran Turismo 7 - General

What level licence is needed for on line room racing?

Looking at the stream of content from other players, some liveries now say they can't be edited... which I assume means we can now share liveries and allow them to be modified (so for a team livery, you make a base livery and share and everyone can put their own name/number on it - or for livery regs, the base reg car can be shared and then edited by teams)
@CaptainRisky21 @Viperzed

probably but I'm still going through the game and haven't gotten to online yet (granted haven't done too much)
you get quite a bit of coin still for circuit experience etc, I think I'm up to a few hundred K

yes, the first licence is enough and just doing the cafe menus for an hour or so
By that time you should have a couple hundred grand (if not, circuit experience is a good way for fast money)

I think for the test season car we need something cheap and racy.

Mazda Demio?

I have finished all the licences, just one attempt at each so mostly bronze, still no online so will go back to the cafe tomorrow.

The guys who will be hosting rooms need to just follow the cafe/menu route so they can unlock more courses to host on, then after that go back and play the rest of the game. I read that nurburgring is something like 23 menus in

As for first car ideas, while I like FF cars, I feel like with the way this game feels more difficult, we should be going with something FR so we can get good data on where to place drivers in divisions.

Don't feel discouraged if you find GT7 difficult. Because it is. I myself am spinning out in cars I wouldn't have thought about spinning out in before. I even flipped the Clio on it's roof lol

i might look to download tonight

Custom Weather allows to set either random, or a preset. Some tracks allow only 1, others allow one for the start to then transition into one at the finish eg Start sunny, finish raining.
(If we decide to go with random weather all the time, different variations of 'dry' racing may produce different data per division, making it difficult to use the data for future division placement @Matthyus)
