Bingo, I appreciate your support.

Can't speak for the pad, but with a wheel the Rally driving is exceptional.
And Nascar, i'm in the EU so not really a motor sport we see much of, but GT has given me a new appreciation for Nascar and for the skill of the Drivers, so much more to it.
I'm glad it has these different types of events, there's just not enough!

Can anyone suggest a car for Indy (specifically bspec on Like The Wind). I've tried everything I've got maxed out and my poor drivers just can't compete. The best results I've had are with the race modded ZR1, and even that can't come close (9th position best so far).
Am I going to have to save up for an Audi R10 or something?

Even though I'm pretty bad on gravel, nailing the perfect countersteer for a drift around a shallow corner at speed on a wheel was an almost revelatory experience. That plus the often beautiful lighting at dawn/dusk did make rallying one of my more memorable GT5 experiences.Ainigma said:
Yeah, there were some great highs, but many were just poorly executed IMO (NASCAR, Top Gear, pro driver "instruction" being the worst offenders).marc^o^ said:
Some people just can't appreciate what Polyphony are doing to the driving genre.
If it wasn't for these guys we'd be stuck playing against 7 ooponents, on tarmac in a sunny climate.
But now, the next iterations of the driving simulator (e.g Forza, NFS etc) have to push the bar even higher and to be honest I can't see any developer doing what PD have done this gen.
Removing those above mentioned features is a massive step back.

It's about a second a lap off the ZR1 RM.-viper- said:

It is a bit tricky with the wheel, but imagine driving on gravel like a lunatic isn't easy!
The driving experience in all the events, Nascar, WRC is fantastic, and gives you an idea what its' like and how skillful these drivers are, but they didn't do enough with the events, maybe in time. More please!
Thats not a complaint, love the game.
A challenger appears!
Z06 RM(866hp, 1090kg) 1.18.789
McLaren F1(864hp, 970kg) 1.18.355
Zonda R(just for reference, probably without the engine upgrades) 1.20.260
The Mclaren will get into 870-880 as I break it in. Both done around Laguna Seca. Maybe it's the fact that I spent like a mil more on the f1, but it's more fun to drive. Center driving position is awesome and unlike the Vette, it's not so clinical. It actually will light up the tires from time to time and is much more nimble in corner entries/exits. The Corvette thunders around, perfect traction from 3rd gear on, perfect stability in corners.

Shall give it a go. Might have a look around for a specific tune for it.dwebo said:

zonda or your ZR1. A-spec lets you have better tyres, plus you can be braver into corners. B-spec driver slows down too much, so even if you bump up the transmission you can catch them on the straights but lose it in the corners.
I think we need someone to lend us a Toyota 7 or mazda 787 for the b-spec like the wind oval, then we can win a toyota 7 and give it back.

Interesting, just noticed when racing my Stealth SLS in B Spec chase came, the side view mirrors have the reflections on the wrong side. It looks like the code is placing the right side reflections on the left mirror and vice versa.:lol Will have to see if it is the same on other cars.
Look, GT added a lot of things, but you act like no other driving game has ever introduced a new feature, or that rally games existed prior to GT. Calm down. GT5 is absolutely amazing in a few ways, but a little bit shit in a lot. That is my personal judgement, yours may differ.CozMick said:

I don't care for 16 cars on track if the AI is as bad as it is in GT5. I stopped playing because of that. The AI simply kills all the fun.
Nascar and other events in the Extreme Series are utterly terrible.

This is god damn torture. I am saving up the 4.5mill for the elusive PD F1 car but in the mean team I swear every bad ass race car ever is appearing in my Used Dealership tempting me to blow all my money. Just need to hit the 4.5 mar so I can rest easy knowing I can poach that bitch when it finally shows its ugly head. No man should have to turn down an Impreza LM 
I hear you. I've been trying to save up for my Raybrig NSX and after every race it's like "Ohhhh that's cool. GIMME."gutterboy44 said:This is god damn torture.

Not to further rain on your parade, but I'd get 5m to be safe, since I think that's what it'll go for if it has no miles. Bonus points for 6m, since if you do get one with mileage, you'll probably want to engine / chassis repair, which are 500k each.gutterboy44 said:This is god damn torture.

A) Thanks for the heads up. B) FFFFUUUUUUUUU
Wake up O.Goh and L.Bean you have work to do today.
Admittedly, I've only seen Top Gear a handful of times, but do they ever race with other cars on the show? I thought it was for time trials only? Don't fucking set me up in a race where if I tap another car I get DQ'd, especially if it's one where I have to go from last to first in 2 laps. And seriously, I grazed that goddamn cone. Give me a fucking break.

Watkins Glen International would be perfect for this game. Has two configurations, NASCAR races there, IRL does for future license shit, and has a history of F1, ALMS, Group C, and vintage races there.
Also I have a massive bias towards the track since I grew up 15 minutes from it.

I got the game on US launch date and since then I was waiting for it. Yesterday late at night finally a F150 came up. So I had to wait for almost 2 full weeks for it to show up. Good job Kaz & game design crew at PD!TheSeks said:
Hit me with a FR and I'll lend if you give me a "deposit". I'll return your deposit when you return my F150. It's already souped up to be competitive in the truck challenge. The PSN ID is "T-Ghost-"
