Gran Turismo 7 - Smash or Pass Ep. 1 - Ferrari FXX-K 14’

[@GTJesse]

Welcome to Smash or Pass GT7 Edition! This first episode is a bit more technical than what you can expect from future videos but I wanted to have a reference to point towards as questions arise in the future. Sit back, relax & enjoy! 🍻

[@thedevil9743]

hey dude do you play with subs on gt7 at all ?

[@GTJesse]

@@thedevil9743 hey man, I haven’t in the past but once I start live-streaming I plan to host casual lobbies for racing, drag, drift, and just chill.

[@thedevil9743]

@@GTJesse heck yes let us know :)

[@bigsarge8795]

NOW I find this.... I finally bought this yesterday.

[@nikbear]

Excellent idea! Really looking forward to more in this series 👍 😉

[@GTJesse]

Cheers matey! Definitely will be posting more in the coming weeks 🤘🍻

[@BsBrix]

Just found your channel searching for livery videoes, looking tru all your videoes. Great content 👍🏼👍🏼

[@GTJesse]

Cheers man, more to come! 🙌🤙

[@toddhildebrand6057]

Love this series

[@Seneditiz]

Would you check the Aston Martin Vulcan? I tested it myself on Nurnburgring and I found it very enjoyable to drive!

[@optical10]

Thanks, I'm learning & liking your content. Can I recommend that you invest in a quality mic and get some consistent recording and edited sound levels though in the same video playback as the wild variety in parts of the sound playback makes it jarring to fully enjoy your quality content?

[@GTJesse]

Thanks man, yeah it’s definitely on the roadmap! I hear you loud and clear. Believe it or not I’m actually creating these videos end to end on the PS5 using share factory (except for the Inkscape demo) as my PC just doesn’t have the processing power to do longer videos. In this video when you hear it start being inconsistent it’s because I’m recording audio while in game versus doing a voiceover after the fact. May have to just stick to the voiceover approach for awhile though as I’m right there with you and pick up on the less than stellar audio quality almost immediately.

[@eddierare]

@@GTJesse props bro! Great quality for what you’re dealing with!

[@GTJesse]

@@eddierare thanks man!

[@brunojr05]

Can this car compete with gr.1? (with some setup...)

[@tedmarynowski3881]

I love all my Ferarris especially this one

[@GTJesse]

I really like it too, especially after some of the updates. It’s a treat to drive!

[@davidshekhter5284]

I just won this car in the roulette. Post 1.25 update I find this car fun and drivable but it is challenging in a good way. I wish there were more hypercar races available for credits so in the meantime I'll spend some time on liveries and drive it now and then. I would recommend this as a buy if you consider yourself a good driver in gran turismo.

[@GTJesse]

I agree, challenging in a good way describes the car perfectly

[@omgdiscordemoji]

How did you get it on the roulette Youre so lucky

[@JamesJohnson-cp6lh]

I’m really curious about the AMG CLK-LM ‘98. Especially as by its a Gr.2 w/ 833PP stock! Worth the $6.5M?

[@GTJesse]

I think I have that car! Will do it on the next smash or pass 🤙

[@Sound_Wave117]

I bought it. If you Power restrict it a touch or two, you can use it in your WTC800 races. Still have to test how drivable it is in those races. 😉

[@GTJesse]

Nice man, enjoy! It’s a beautiful machine. I found softening up the rear + a little rear ballast made a nice difference in traction.

[@vrandmusiccorner2291]

I raced it in the 800’s. The only problem was it drinks gas.

[@TCR_TheKnulk]

It even got a GPS 👍

[@gavancorrigan8813]

Do one on the Lamborghini fast!! Please!!! Before I waste my money… I bought this car and had instant buyers remorse. Only bought it because of FOMO effect and how rarely you get the invites on the roulette (except the Citroen which I’ve “won” three times🤦‍♂️).

[@GTJesse]

That bloody Citroen! Looks like a Pug 😂 the Lamborghini is on the docket but might not be til next week. It’s a sharp car, might be worth it just on Curb Appeal alone!

[@donthitthebeam8930]

Could you do the Camaro ZL1 1Le?

[@GTJesse]

I feel like a test at Nurburgring would be 100% necessary for that one! Will put it on the docket though, price/performance, that car stands alone.

[@donthitthebeam8930]

@@GTJesse Can't wait dude!

[@YellowEvoV110]

I bought all anyway

[@Nilvils85]

Btw, do you do liveries regularly?

[@GTJesse]

I do. They’re my favorite pastime 😃

[@Blackriver69]

Better now with patch 1.13 but still not worth the money. Pre 1.12 when I bought this it was the single biggest case of buyers remorse I have had in the game. With 1.13 it's at least drivable but the insane fuel consumption makes it a pain in any race where fuel is an issue. I still would rather have my 3.6 mil back... until money is flat out not an issue.

[@GTJesse]

Yep! Even with the grinding methods out there, it still take a fair amount of effort to work up to 3-4 mil.

[@Nilvils85]

Still watching, it seems promising. However, now you can win 3.6M in less than 2h with the Tomahawk 😉

[@GTJesse]

I can’t keep up with all the permutations of car+track grinding opportunities! Which event is this?

[@Nilvils85]

@@GTJesse the 600 pp event at Tokyo Expressway! If you search that you'll find a lot of videos with the Tomahawk setup

[@XenonOrion]

@@GTJesse best by far@2.5 mil per hour! there’s too many tutorials and you sound like a busy guy so here’s the scoop: TOMOHAWK X :: +racing hard tires ECU output: 70 power restrictor: 70 transmission (manual racing) top speed: 580 (here’s where it gets funky, you gotta mess with the transmission until it matches these numbers. the lower gears will change min & max after adjusting higher gears) 1st gear: 9.619 2: 9.186 3: 8.673 4: 1.410 5: 0.880 6: 0.840 7: 0.687 final: 5.130 PP=595.05 last race at tokyo $550,000 it’s impossible to lose the clean race bonus and it’s fun trying to get a clean lap while flooring it through everything but the first and last turns of the lap! just be alert and keep it in 5th-7th gear! it’s always wet so go slow the 1st lap. after that you’re good! 💰

[@GTJesse]

@@XenonOrion awesome sauce, thanks for the details you guys! Teamwork makin’ the dream work!

[@Snoy_Fly]

This the video I needed. I decided not to buy it.

[@jasonfry2096]

I bought one while I'm waiting for the CLK LM to come back to legends, took it to Le Mans and holy moly it's a rocketship Think you'll find it much better after the update

[@GTJesse]

Nice to hear! I need to hop in there and give it another go. I hadn’t really thought about the physics updates when conceptualizing this series but will have to think about how to consider it going forward.

[@brenofmj3]

how did u get the invite to buy it? it says that i need an invite to buy the fxx

[@jasonfry2096]

@@brenofmj3 there was a standing invite on all of them for a while, it's expired now so you'll be relying on getting a Ferrari invite from a roulette

[@JoaoPedro-hg6dk]

tf bro

[@GTJesse]

What?

[@treyrz8023]

It’s insane how some of the shit Ferrari does is actually legal. Do they get to keep the car because it isn’t for the road?

[@GTJesse]

I can only speculate but it must have to do with the vehicle not being road legal like you pointed out, and also because it’s very much an R&D vehicle, so Ferrari will want to use the car to get as much data as they can from it to use to make their production cars better. Their ability to get that data would be very limited if the cars were distributed across the globe.
