Thanks, picked up the 908. Awesome car and I love the interior didn't break it in the first enduro but I'll definitely use it when it next few. Dat start up sound *bites lip*
Oh and my B-spec driver C.Sanders once again smashes the competition proving he is not chicken. :lol

Like the plan! The first three Enduro's I don't mind (4 hours at Tsukuba was a bit mad). It's 1000km at Suzuka and Tsukuba 9 hours I'm really not looking forward to. I'll have to do them at some point, but I might use your plan to skip a couple of levels in the middle ther so I can unlock Le Mans sooner.

Suzuka I don't mind doing lap after lap, it's my favourite circuit. Tsukuba will literally be hundreds of laps of mind numbing boredom.
A sadistic part of me is really looking forward to A-spec endurance. Really looking forward to it. I've got till the 10th to get to Level 35+ on A spec, cos when work starts I'm boned, will have hardly any time.
My plan only works because from my current Lvl 24 A-spec status I have still up for grabs
200k from seasonal events not attempted yet
16k from DTM
100k from FGT
85k from Dream Car Championship
113k from Grand Valley
200k from Mazda 4hr
158k from Laguna Seca
268k from Indy 500
Then I need around 900k xp from remaining special events including Vettel, AMG challenges, Rally, Grand Tour and Loeb which I've not attempted. Should jump me to 30+ and straight into Suzuka 1000k.

I finally reached level 35 in B-Spec yesterday and got my X2010 S.Vettel which I oil changed right after.
I then went to arcade and drove around for awhile(using other cars) and went back to GT Mode only to find my X2010 gained 4.5 miles without being used wtf.
Random glitch or logical explanation? =/

B-Spec Bob took it out for a test drive >_< /sarcasm
Nice. I only have FGT, the Grand Tour and the second set of seasonals completely clear. I'm about halfway through the AMG Driving School and I've just finished the first three Enduros.avaya said:
The enduros are great because you really learn how a car handles. Sitting there with a wheel in cockpit view you can zone out and just focus on the driving and how the car behaves. The Viper I was just in for example was really heavy on cold tyres, but went where you pointed it, then slowly lightened up and really started to fly after a couple of laps until, many laps later and with little warning, it had cooked it's rear tyres and couldn't even hold a bend without any throttle applied.
Still, 9 hours at Taukuba... Hmmm. Suzuka as you say will be OK if I get the car right, I normally love it too, but I re-did the Supercar Nostalgia beginner race there in a Miura yesterday and it's temporarily put me off it a bit!
Edit: I'm back in to work on the 4th so it'll be setting B-spec going when I get in and only getting to properly race on a weekend after tomorrow!

Is that right? Is the jump from 29 to 30 tiny then? Surely it's more than that?avaya said:

Laguna Seca 200 miles. A stock Viper ACR with Racing Hards, really enjoyable. Although if you do try it out, beware the tyres, the racing hards look as if they'll do 45 laps allowing you to only pit once, but they'll be useless after about 30 laps turning it into a two-stopper (90 laps total).

false. you cant adjust the top speed in the red bull X1, you can in the other versions.darkwing said:

Just hit level 6. Bought a WRX STI for my first new car. Always wanted to drive one.
Probably not the wisest buy. But I'm having fun with the game.

Getting close to Bspec level 35. will be nice to have the X2010 for endurance races in a spec.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
Just felt like sharing this with you all. Like I said earlier, made a few specific mentions of GAF.

So what exactly is the deal with damage? Im not talking about visible damage, im talking about in the GT shop, how it wants something ridiculous like 500,000cr to repair the chassis on my Veyron. Thing has like 11 miles on it! It wont let me touch the engine rebuild, says it doesnt need it.
Is that from crashing the car? Is that how damage and repair works in this game? By making crashing super expensive to repair? Also, does damage affect the cars handling?

Thats good to know. I don't know much about racing and niche cars. Just the mainstream ones. I'm really enjoying the game. Progress feels very brisk, leveling up every few races, winning cars, and unlocking new events. I'm loving the special events.djkimothy said:

Ah, you were talking Indy Endurance weren't you? That's where I got confused! I've not unlocked that one yet, but what vehicle did you use? Does it have to be a NASCAR? If not I am guessing the ZR-1 RM which is the favourite for Like the Wind? An easy win? And, how long does it take to complete the Indy Enduro in both A and B Spec?
Questions questions!
Thanks

Late to the Bspec driver name party, but my main guy is S.Kato (as in, he likes poop).

The average time of the 2nd place guy is around 42-45 seconds per lap at best. I'm not sure if you can do it with ZR-1 RM. When I did it on A spec it seems like the A.I had 1.5x the amount of fuel that I had. It takes me almost 2 pits in order for them to pit in once.KennyLinder said:Ah, you were talking Indy Endurance weren't you? That's where I got confused!

You can use any car. I'm using the X1. Minolta will do the Indy 500 in 2hrs:40min in B-spec. A-spec will be about 10-15mins faster. ZR-1 RM should be able to beat all the LMP cars in the race.

Nope, it's not crash damage. it's to fix chassis flex and is only really relevant after many 1000's of miles travelled.
The game models chassis flex based on distance travelled and any chassis is going to relax a tiny tiny amount after just a single mile; the game doesn't make any distinction between repairing that and repairing a warped tired chassis after 50,000 track miles so it gives you the option of restoring back to factory fresh after driving it once.
The cost is always the same, half (or is it 2/3) the cost of the car up to a maximum of 500,000 credits.
It's nothing to do with crash damage so don't worry until you can actually feel the car not holding it's lines anymore.
Engine rebuilds are much more common, do these when an oil change alone doesn't return the car to it's optimum horsepower.

So I'm new to GT5, just working on the amateur races now. I did some seasonal events and got the ZR1 I was lusting after. Did a couple more and had enough cash in the bank for the race mod and tuned that sucker up.
I can't fucking believe this car. For what I'm used to driving, it absolutely smokes everything, both in a straight line and around corners. It just whines and goes, grips when I can't imagine there's anything left. I went into cockpit view with the HUD turned off at night in the rain--bloody amazing.
Now it all makes sense, this GT5 stuff! Can't wait for my wheel.

there is no mechanical damage in any a or b spec events. it's restricted to arcade,practise and any course you design with the course editor.Broseybrose said:

I had the same experience. Since i installed the race modifications, i love that car. It's insane to drive. Feels really good. My favourite car so far.
Only problem: i painted the car not knowing it would only paint the front. Now i would like to restore it's color to the original white but i have no clue which white to pick to match the back of the car.
