You can have one tonight, once I can gift another car. Then just use the USB exploit to pass it on once or twice. My PSN name is in my profile.TheSeks said:I'm generally not one to beg, but does anyone have an X1 (Prototype and/or the normal store-buying one) and Chrome Paint they'd be willing to dupe for me?
PM me if you're a kind soul.

I just golded the championship A-spec Expert Japanese Challenge and won a Gran Turismo 350Z RS.
Whats the story with this car? I just won it, havent driven it yet. Is it useful in any races?

Quick question, probably asked tons and tons of times...
Which is the best car, besides Toyota 7 and 2J, to win Historic Cup A-Spec? the Lambo? Is there a tuning guide for this competition?
Thanks!

Completed the Suzuka 1000km... in my brand new X1. :lol ~3Hrs:53Mins, I lapped everyone over 50 times... The sky was overcast at the start but 1Hr:30Mins in the sun came out, the transition was amazing looking... Simply gorgeous.
Now at level 32. Nurburgring 4Hrs is next on my list...Was planning on using a BMW M3 but I'm going to try it in a Lexus ISF (Racemod/fully tuned ~599BHP)

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
What the flying fuck is happening to my transmission on my G25?
Started playing again and shit doesn't work anymore... it works when I'm using the "buttons" on the wheel but the actual fucking gear won't work. IT WORKS WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING (when I'm racing in Nürburgring and the car is on a rolling start, it works) but when I do a race and I'm on gear #1, it doesn't work. Neither does any other gear...
WTF did this patch do?

I'm down to 2:12 at Monza X1.
Shit's way too hard and totally unrealistic. You would snap your neck trying to beat the time in real life and still not be fast enough.

Am I right in thinking that the double XP lasts until the end of January? I don't need to try and rush a bunch of levelling up now right?
Yeah, I had watched one as well. I noticed that and slowly pushed my limits through there, but always found myself lifting off slightly on at least 1 of the S bends.-viper- said:
The first 2 right turns out of the pit, you have to break on the 2nd, or you'll go into the sand. After that you should be full throttle and only really lifting when you feel you're slipping (almost impossible to have much reflex on that, but after doing it a shit load of times I kind of got a feel of what type of response my wheel should be giving me).
Basically, sometimes I had to lift more than others depending on what kind of speed I was carrying. I did find that I didn't need to lift at all, which I had been, on that final left bend out of that section. Then as you go full throttle towards the double hard rights (I have little race course terminology if you hadn't guessed...I'm sure people have more exact names for this shit), you just tap the brakes and kind of jerk right for each one. I was hitting that check point right after those and before the left hairpin anywhere between 28-30seconds.
Outside of that, it's mostly just practice that got me through. Even if I clocked a bad time on my first lap I kept going and pushed the limit on my second lap to see what I could get away with. That's kind of how I learned where I could hold more speed....

Yep, that and the increase in credits should last till the end of Jan. I don't see how they can take them out without another patch as the improved rewards are embedded right through A and B spec.
Edit:- FGT question, I'm caning it on B-spec racking the mies up; I do an engine restore when I see that an oil change no longer takes it back up to 935hp but I'm wondering if I'm going to do it some permanent engine damage if I keep going like this. An engine restore will always take me back up to 935hp, right?

Someone tweet Kaz with "make X1 bronze time easier" or something like that.
Speaking of which, his latest message is interesting:

I think best way to approach it is to do free runs on practice then come back and do the challenge.

When you start out hot drivers don't know how to brake. Cold drivers don't know how to overtake. They improve as they level up. Generally hot drivers are better overtakers.
Give them understeery cars to begin with so go for 4WD and FF cars.

Just completed the Grand Valley 60 lap Endurance event. Shot up to Lv. 27 now, so far away from the X1 Challenge though
In A-Spec I have the remaining Endurance events and Formula GT to do, oh and the Expert AMG special challenges. In B-Spec I have done the first Extreme event (and everything up to it).

Not actually that important
[edited out/snip of stupid]
edit: nevermind, I've read the posts above and there also seem to be a veeery long line to pass one around, how much time is one given to check it out before returning it? At this point I'd be content to check it out for a couple of hours?
edit2: Ok, maybe next time I should catch up better with old posts.
Anyway, if anbody is paying it forward, I'd love the F1 2010 or F1 2007 or X1 gift as well
psn: DashKap
pm me in case you wanna add me so that I'll get online

Hit level 35 in Bspec yesterday. Did the 24 hour endurance and became really annoyed when it didn't get me to level 36. Ughhh

Really pissed that I just can't seem to kick this flu away. Haven't played GT5 for ages now :/
Can't get on the wheel for more then 5minutes without wanting to throw up.

Hey guys, any chance I could swap an X1 Red Bull for a F2007/10?
I know I got the X1 duped for free but if anyone has been given a Ferrari under the sane circumstance and hasn't yet got the X1, I would absolutely love one.

Just did the Nascar bonus event. Can't say I enjoyed it.
Hate Nascars, hate the ring. :lol

Long time lurker, 1st post on this thread.
I've had GT5 for nearly 3 weeks now, fortunately due to holidays and snow most of this time has been at home so I have been pushing my B-Spec drivers as much as possible, basically all day and night ;-). Even had my 8-year old son starting races in B-Spec when my Bob's had finished ...
GT5 is my GOTY
Its incredible in many ways, but also incredibly annoying, I'm stunned by the number of times I find design issues that just don't make any sense :
Loading times ...
Not having the right tyres and having to go through 3 menus to buy the correct ones
Buying new parts and having to go through 3 or 4 clicks to get back to buying another part
Accepting and buying cars and sitting through the animation and then being told I have a new paint ...
Used Car dealership and having to keep checking for specific cars
Why can't I see premium and standard on the same screen ?
Not being able to set the time/weather on Nurburgring etc ...
Top Gear challenges ahhhhhhgghhh ...
I could go on, but, without a doubt none of this matters one single bit, highlights for me :
I adore the Nurburgring, driving in rain, it clearing up, turning through dusk to night and then the early morning all in 3D with a wheel is an experience and dedicated race driver (real or virtual) should experience.
Rally driving, the Sebastien Loeb challenge was epic
AMG Challenges, the SLS in the rain was incredible
Buying all the cars I always wanted, (collecting Subarus and GTRs ...)
Premium Tommi Makinen EVO 6 ;-)
Photo Mode and more specifically getting inside the car and getting pictures of the interior (WOW)
Again I could go on ...
For me the game has improved as time has gone on, my driving has improved, I started some of the challenges and could not get even silver, after a few weeks went back and was suddenly able to Gold all the AMG challenges, Top Gear, Sebastien Loeb etc ...
Finally, I won the X2010 last night for all bronze, took about 2 hours, hardest track was Suzuka, easiest Monza.
My pro-tip for any challenge and specifically the X2010 is to switch off traction or have it has low as possible, control the throttle and push harder than you think you can. Don't worry about the high speed corners, where you make all the time is the low speed chicanes, get them nailed and the rest will come. Good Luck ...
I'm pretty sure I can get Gold on Nurburgring and Monza, Gold on Suzuka looks like a nightmare ...
An amazing game and incredible experience ...

I'm sick of driving it. It's in pretty much every racing game I own, and it's all anyone ever wants to use online.Melfice7 said:
