I’ll do all I can to get on next Saturday if we go for 8am BST. Not really been online on the PS4 since a couple of games of golf years ago!! Will try to figure it out. Looking at the info coming from GT they seem to have listened to the community so I shall be persevering!! Yes Ben, agree. The April update looks promising. Should have launched with all this anyway! No progress on the lost data but I've now resigned myself to grinding through it all again  Bit embarrassing though, I had to pay my 12 y/o grandson to pass the drifting missions for me - can't handle that shite! |

Same here with the drifting. Hate it both here and on Forza. Hacked through the first few but now stuck! Thought I’d give Circuit Experience a go to do my daily marathon. Love Le Mans but really struggling on Sector 5 for some reason. Looking forward to the appearance of Endurance races. Hope they are reasonably rewarded. |

sid snott SkyBlueBen Crazy Croc Update just dropped. 3 high pp races now carry prizes upwards of 500,000 8 x 1 hour endurance races added to missions - each 1 carries 500,000 prize for 1st. Not as much new content as I'd hoped, but better than nothing. Will certainly be easier to afford some decent cars now.

I’ve put the PS to one side for now Pete as having a lot of fun with the online mayhem in Grid Legends with TBC. Will no doubt fire it up though and have a gander when time allows. Career was woefully short. Not added to that? |

They haven't added any new menu books, just a few races here and there. There's some detailed notes with the update so make sure you read that when you fire it up. Also enjoying Grid Legends now that I've got the controller under control  Just bought myself a Commodore Super Car! They were popular until GM pulled out and stopped manufacturing here in Oz. |

I’m finding now that I’m back in the office I’m really struggling to find enough time to do what I’d like so GT7 will have to wait until they’ve finished the game! |

So I've just finished the new World Touring Car 800pp race at Sardegna Road Track - 15 laps
Finished 1st in a touch under 28 mins.
With the 50% clean race bonus I picked up $727,500!
Some of those cars I've been dreaming about might now become a reality!
Don't bother with the race in Tokyo - wet track & every time you graze a wall it's a 5 sec penalty. Needs a superhuman effort to clear 12 clean laps in those conditions.

May try a couple of races tonight to pick up a few rides though. |

Needs a superhuman effort to clear 12 clean laps in those conditions. Was a bit miffed today after i tried Tokyo of the new big purse races and got creamed. Sport hards on the slippy track and took a few laps before i managed to make it around with no slow down penalties but by then the field had checked out already and best i could do was 16th and last. Did receive 115 000 ish for maybe about 30 mins, but a total waste of time considering. Included 'clean' race bonus, lol, maybe dirty laps get wiped when one takes penalty slowdown, hehe. Still a whopping 8 seconds slower fast lap than the fastest AI, i'll have to rethink what to drive or git a LOT gud Glad to see possibility of decent payout at Sardegna, just hoping the 800 class not so fast my tired old eyes start skipping frames! Hopefully Le Mans will be doable without too much sweat too Some circuit experience all golds pay 1 000 000 coins (A1 Ring not too difficult to gold), some do pay much less though. 200k for just bronze all round and one can build up a small once off cash injection fairly quickly. The larger showrooms will eat through the new cash fast though. I made maybe 1 and a half mil today, spent it all in less than a minute. Can't even recall what i bought! |

Much better. Just toyed with the races so far but got a 500k Driving Marathon ticket which I turned into 6 old bangers. As always quantity not quality with me!! Worth a proper revisit when I have the time. Perhaps I should have stayed in the queue for a PS5  |

The Burger joint in Germany pays a whopping 5 000 000 coins for all gold circuit experience! Bloody difficult though! |

Cooking all those burgers to perfection will probably burn through too much electricity. If all gold = 50 gold bars then bronze should be 10 gold bars.
I started doing the sectors at the green hell a long time ago, can't recall how far i got, but some of the gold requirement times were a bit too short for me to fit into. Probably worth a shot to do the full lap and if bronze pops then start filling in the blanks.

Le Mans good fun though I did have intermediates in the pit which were useful. Over 800k payout. A further 7 old bangers bought and some cash left in the bank. I want the 458 GT3 so will have to go back out!! |

Pity the enduo races are missions and not chilli races. Once you've done them that's your lot, can't redo them and earn more dosh to to buy the legends.
To be honest I'm buying what I like the look of and can afford without taking out the PD loans, the interest rates are extortionate. Gotta watch the pennies.
