I think I’ve reached the limit of my abilities on this game

I can’t seem to get any other than this.. tried so many different cars and strategies.. I think I’ve reached my peak :(

I can’t figure out trial braking. Maybe my fingers just don’t work like that? Idk. Sucks though. I want to win this race so bad but after about a dozen attempts I just can’t figure it out.

I’ll take any tips, but I don’t think they will be any different than what YouTube says.

98 ford focus

By far the worst engineering decisions I’ve ever seen made in a car ever. Hiding the master cylinder nut behind the clutch where no human hand could ever reach is a stroke of stupidity unseen before in human history. What a bunch of absolutely brainless idiots.. 2 days later and I still can’t get this damn nut back on.

The attention to detail in this game is insane

These are before and after photos of my tire after a 10 lap no pit race. I was hanging on for dear life toward the end.. managed to take first position, but man.. look at the wear! That’s so cool!

Veloster - Daily Driver

They don’t have the Hyundai Veloster in GT7 so I tried to get as close as possible to my irl daily driver.

It’s not perfect but any means, but I did my best.

Tips - File Size - Livery

Any tips on how to upload custom liveries? I keep running into the issue where the file size is too large. 15 kb seems.. oppressively small. Whah do yall do?

So.. K Cup.. Impossible?

It’s legit impossible, right? I’m running at 399.92pp absolutely maxed the fuck out in everything I can be without braking regulations and I’m landing in 8th place. These cars are impossibly slow with negative turn radius.. but the AI seems to have like ultra horsepower in those little shit boxes. Is this supposed to be unbeatable? Not sure what else I can do because NOS isn’t allowed.

UPDATE

Your guys’ advice worked wonders. Short shifting and turning off traction control.. that did the trick.

This Camaro is an absolute unit

Sorry if the flair is wrong or if I’m breaking rules.

I feel unstoppable in this Camaro. Fully maxed out specs and I hit 240mph. That’s probably chump change to some of you but that’s huge for me this early in my first play through ever.

Enjoy the beauty shots. I love this thing.. the Scottish flag livery I made is the cherry on top 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

2012 - Touch Up Work

Not sure I’m using the right flair. Sorry if I’m breaking the rules.

Didn’t think to get any before pics so the last two photos from when I first got it will have to do… but I touched up the paint on the windshield panel things and then got a crazy awesome idea to paint the gas door thing (what is it called? lol).

Fully amateur hour. Used dupli-color custom wrap spray.. but I think it turned out pretty good. Sorry for the crappy night photos. Will take better ones soon.

What do yall think? Be kind. I 100% don’t know what I’m doing and this is the first time in my life I’ve ever wanted to put genuine effort into a car so I’m figuring it all out as I go.

God I’m so happy with this car

I’m a total noob.. making this livery took me so long to figure out. Hope some of yall appreciate it as much I do.

First time poster - Cleaning Throttle Body - Am I Nuts???

Hi!

I’m pretty new to both Reddit and car stuff. I just cleaned my throttle body on the advice of some other posts I’ve read about my car (2012 Veloster) and general performance.

Am I nuts?? I feel like my car drives so much better now. I cleaned the hell out of the throttle body (correct cleaner, don’t worry!) and it feels so different. Is this a placebo effect? lol 😂

Rant - Parts - 2012 Veloster

Dude..

Why is it so hard to find parts for these? I just need this damn exhaust hanger and I can’t find one anywhere. Help?

Seriously Need Help - 2012 Veloster - 6 speed manual

My 2012 veloster makes the strangest clinking noise when I first start driving. Sounds distinctly like it’s coming from the rear passenger side of the car. Like someone is tapping metal against metal. A very hallow, metallic clink. Any tips? I can’t find anything on any forums anywhere. Scared as hell about what this could mean.

Does My Engine Sound Normal - 2012 6-speed manual.

I swear I hear a faint ticking.. can’t tell if it’s a lifter tick or if this car just has a natural slight ticking.

Any experts?

2012 Veloster - 6 Speed Manual - Weighted Shift Knobs

Hey All,

Just picked this up from my sister in law. Never had a Veloster before so I don’t know much about anything. I’ve also never had a reverse lockout collar before so I don’t really know what to do. I want a weighted shift knob but I’m struggling to find anything that specifically says it will fit the 2012 model.. everything says 2015+. Any advice for a newbie?

Pics of car and shift knob for reference.

Thanks!
