The best money maker in Gran Turismo 7 ? | Aston Martin DP-100 VGT Build | GT7 Money Grind

[@PLAYER_42069]

You've definitely earned your title of "Influencer" because you've influenced me to try this car! I'm in my VGT era, grinding the big money races and new events using VGT cars. So, the timing on this is perfect. I get why many GT7 don't like the VGTs, but it comes down to how PD executes them. If more of them weren't EVs and had lower PP so you could run them in grind events, I think most people's opinions would change (from negative to at least neutral). Keep up the great work!

[@KCR-Mark]

Many thanks hope you enjoy. Totally agree, the EVs are too common and basically useless especially for money grind events 👍

[@Cookie_Monster77]

Another great suggestion. Love trying these new cars I would probably never drive. This thing handles like a dream.

Oh wow. I thought I had the best all around grinding car. I can win all three major grinding races with one car & 3 tuning sheets. This one is better. Only thing I got is mine is around $80,000 and around $200k in upgrades. Your way definitely is the easiest way! Great video as usual

Hey Mark! Great idea on the Aston VGT. I started to venture into the VGT's in the past weeks. Thank you. :)

@@TechnoRacerX No problem hope you enjoy. Some of the VGT cars are surprisingly good , but I think this is my favourite 👌

[@calcinho]

I tried the wrx Gr.B rally car in le mans and man, it works really well, even better than the dbr9 gt1, the dbr9 i just put the intermediate tyres and ballast on the front, refuel just 2 -3 times to change tyres, last lap every bot goes to refuel too and you dont need to, you can save fuel from the first to the last lap (try to stay between 7th and 4th with fuel map 6, this way you can go all out on the lat lap) but its way easier with the wrx Gr.b rally car, start with the hard racing tyre and if its going to rain you can just change it to the intermediate or heavy rain... btw you can get 1th in the first lap and put fuel map 6, ai cant get closer to you even when you go to refuel... for me at leats the hard tyres are the best since you dont need to change it at all 😊

I bet this car could easily be all 3 600, 700, and 800 for multiple events. Can you provide an 800pp tune if its possible. It's absolutely phenomenal to have one car do the three biggest grinds on GT7. Thank you Mark!!!! Your videos are much much appreciated!!

[@KCR-Mark]

Thanks , you're welcome. It's on its limit of power at 700pp unfortunately so even with racing softs it won't be competitive in 800pp. I have done a video on a car that does all 3. Think it was either R34 Skyline or the Porsche 911 Gr 3 swap 👍

Thanks for the tips. I am trying to get a lot of cars down/up to 700pp and determine the top 12 cars for running the 700 WTC in Le Man's. Problem I mostly have is tire shredding.

[@KCR-Mark]

No problem , the wet tyres won't last long om a drying track which might be your problem

[@jsleeio]

I've tried a bunch for that event. 911RSR on hard tyres with minimum downforce and power reduction is my favourite. Though I've done a fair amount of adjustment to make it friendly to drive. Can consistently do 3 laps on map 1 without no fuel-saving. For me that's in the 4:04-4:05 zone, which is *much* faster than any of the AI cars in that race. And it's available and relatively cheap. Also really like the BVLGARI VGT, it's quite economical and easy to drive, not quite as fast as the 911RSR but still fast. I had some fun with it too; changed its colour to one of the Porsche browns (Moccaschwarz I think?) and the wheels to Porsche Racing Yellow. Haters gonna hate 😂 Also: Ford GT40 mkIV (fast, very appropriate for the race but required significant adjustment to drive nicely, and of course it'll be expensive), Alpine A220+turbo (fast but lots of pitstops), Honda RA272+turbo (fast and decent fuel range) and the 1990s GT500 cars (TOM'S Supra, Pennzoil GT-R, Mugen NSX)

[@lukedawg2787]

Can’t say this is the “best” money maker when there is clearly a quicker, cheaper, and less of a headache way to earn credits. Running a Honda Beat on a Daytona custom race vs Tomahawks is still the quickest and cheapest way to earn credits. Way more boring yes but it’s the easiest and quickest method hands down. And before any of you say it’s been patched it absolutely has not. The only thing they patched was the absurd amount you used to win from it which was like 700k for 10 laps. The method still works but it’s about 640k every 30 laps which takes about 20 mins to do. Oh and bonus, if you’re busy doing school work or working from home, you can use the same method AFK. Takes about 10 minutes longer on AFK but does it really matter if you’re AFK. Rubber band your throttle, change steering to tilt, and put a magazine under the left side of your controller

[@KCR-Mark]

[@jsanders299]

Funny side note - This car, in VR, lol… Your head is on top of the roof! There is no “inside”, also no mirrors, no indication of speed or rpms. You didn’t say if you were running on hard, easy, or normal. I usually run on hard unless it is a GR1, LMP etc. LeMans was a no brainer win by 1 lap (on normal). I pretty much used FM3 until the rain (lap 3 I think), pitted, fueled up, changed to wet tires for the remainder, pretty wet the entire time from then on. Once I was in 1st, FM 6. Probably a good win on hard too. Tokyo… I don’t want to talk about it. I have dishonored my family for generations to come. This car is junk in automatic mode. I switched to manual on around lap 3, it was better, but WAY too late for me. I hung on for 5th. Not much of a grind day on THIS profile (I have 3)

Pleased you're liking the tunes. I always use hard difficulty 👍

[@jsanders299]

@@KCR-Mark I have to recant my statement above about Tokyo... I recently discovered some sort of intermittent "glitch" with my Fanatec V3 pedals. Above LeMans was obviously fine, but later when I went to Tokyo, clearly it was not. Similar weirdness has happened occasionally since then when I go to a race that I had no issues with (such as the LeMans grind with the engine swapped Mazda3). Usually before the first turn (on hard) I am in 18th. Today, on Mulsanne I was in 20th and losing ground quickly?? 30 minutes later after trying to figure out WTF, doing all the things you do to narrow it down, I discovered that my accelerator was only outputting 70%! I guess that somewhat limits a cars capability ;) Sooo, your tune for Tokyo (and/or the car) is probably not the problem, lol. Sorry for any stress or confusion I may have caused! The Fix - the only thing that made it go away (for now I guess) was plugging into the Fanatec software and changing the switch on the pedal from manual to auto and then back to manual again. Wish me luck!
