Yeah I think you can make a backup save then gift then overwrite your save with the backup. Not 100% sure though.

EDIT: Wait I've already got the car. Must have been a prize in A Spec or something.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ: Rules and Regulations

Additional rules:
Always make sure at least one pair of wheels are inside the white lines! Using the run-off areas as "long-cuts" or short-cuts is not allowed and will be strictly enforced.
Missing a brake point and thus overshooting into run-off areas is ok, but when you rejoin the track you must wait until cars close behind you has passed.
Missing a brake point is a mistake and should lead to you having less speed out the corner, not more.​

Toxa is it Nurb GP/D? (the shortest version in the game) Type D is the massive Nurb and I can't imagine 15 laps in a lupo on that lol.

Anyway I done a bit of practice today. Managed a 1.57 this was with ABS off though and with the clutch so I could find a bit of time there.

LMAO yeah it's Nurbur GP/D xD
 
I could make it if it's a Sunday, sadly I'm away this Saturday so pop me down as a reserve if that's ok. I doubt I will be up to your standards, but will get some practice in tomorrow on the tracks.
 
Lupo race? In Monaco and Nurb? Count me the fuck in (unless something totally unexpected happens again)!

Not sure I own the Lupo though, I'll have to check :(
 
I'm 100% there for sunday, might be also for saturday.

Let's got the old gang back because GT is back on the subject once again, so many people are feeling the need to play again.

Will test the combo tonight.

I have to check if I have the Lupo, pretty sure I do since we've raced it before.

I might put my hands on a custom made cockpit tonight as well, so finally I can compete using my now covered in dust G27.

Weeee ~

No worries, I have the '00 too but couldn't find the '03 on my garage.
I too see what it is probably the same massive thunderstorm coming up from my window

EDIT: besides the car, I'd also need GT5NRL to accept my friend request, somehow it was not on my friend list anymore...

I haven't played GT5 in ages, I'll see if I can find a Lupo :)
Also, GT5NRL needs to accept my friend request, it seems I deleted it from my list some time ago...

Best Laptimes prediction

Cote d'azure : ~2m01 or 2m00

Nurbur GP/D ~1m53-54

Lol, oh dear, I just looked at those and thought, "Hmm, that doesn't seem that fast..." Sure enough I checked my car and there were a few bits on it that I must have added in the past and forgotten about, whoops.
 
WTF, I created my own online room to practice a little and the tuning prohibition won't let me in. But I'm completely sure I never tuned anything in this car :|

Erm, I just tried this to be sure and the same is happening for me... Is it because it's a race modified car?
 
I checked in the Tuning shop and it doesn't have Rigidity improvements nor weight reductions. x_x

I'll try restoring the engine and chassis but I doubt that's it.
