Tomorrow (31st) is the last day to register a lap time in NeoGAFer in a Reasonably Priced Car challenge for the month of February. Just by setting a lap you'll be eligible to win ANY purchasable Premium car as well as one of over 450+ (and growing) Standard cars. The winner and a random participant will get to choose what car they want and receive it BRAND NEW (or restored) at the end of the month.
Everything you need to know here:

Yep. Send me a friend request. Won't be able to get it to you until tomorrow or Wed. Is the X2010 a color version (not the Vettel or Carbon)?fu3lfr3nzy said:You got any "spares?"dupe? lol

What "190" are you guys talking about? The Elise? The Merc? I think I might have one of each.

Found the Tommy Kaira ZZII '00 in the used car dealer last night. This was one of my favorites from GT3 and it's still great here. Think it was only like 56,000. Great power to weight ratio, especially after you pump it up to 740hp. I just wish you could change and/or paint wheels on the standard cars.
They're talking about the only worthy 190 of course, the 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II Touring Car !
Anyway, I must have some good luck with the used dealership recently as this showed up the day after I bought the 190E. :-D
Also, the Ford GT must be one of the first Premium Car that PD did because the car has some seriously rough edges (of course I try not to show it here but rear-view mirror is one example) :

Does it look the same on the Photo Travel mode?

Yeah, models do look better in Photo Travel most of the time (PS4 models
). It could just be that the FordGT got a more aggressive LOD change then other cars.All we know is Mid February, and it will bring remote B-spec.Wax Free Vanilla said:
Also, you're insane. Start participating in some online races/leagues if you're getting bored with the SP.

Anyone else playing GT Academy?
I did not like the choice for round 2.
R34 on crappy tires and a SuperGT GTR on a Toscana made up track that´s all sorts of bad.
I thought maybe one of the 512 finalists would be here on GAF to discuss...

I don´t know if only the top 128 on each region can try, but it´s worth a look.
Round 2 just started and there´s already a huge problem: corner cutting is allowed on the track.
Guys are going nuts over this here: http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=173819
Sony and Nissan need to do something.

It appears that you win a copy of GT5 if you manage to stay on the top 16 for your region on round 2.
Yes, lol smiley insert.
Strange choice for a prize, but hey, it´s for free. I´m just doing it for fun, since i don´t live in the US anymore, but round one had some cool prizes like wheels and wheel stands.
Also, to the other question, GT Academy already had two editions in Europe. I guess the next one will be later on this year.
The big question for me is when will GT Academy come to Latin America. I think it´s the next step.

I'm just surprised by how many GTs are in the game. What about that test car one, that's a premium one, wonder how that looks. And then they have the 05 no stripe, the 60s original, and then the LM racing one. To me, I wish the 60s original was a premium model.

Did anyone ever get an explanation for that? I mean, the F2007 was usable in the races in Prologue so it was odd that its restricted in GT5.
Or did it have to do with Sony still having the F1 License around the time Prologue was in development?

I know, yeah. Thursday is a day I now look foward to ^_^fu3lfr3nzy said:The new seasonal events needs to go online already, seriously
I'm still eight million away from twenty million, but I'm hoping by the next update, Yamauchi sees the light and removes the frankly ridiculous twenty mil credit barrier. Or I suppose they'll have to raise it, as they have that "Penniless" trophy. But even thirty million would be better than nothing. It's so stupid.

No worries. R10 TDI sounds cool.
The UCD is killing me again lately. Ford AU 2000 Falcon XR8 & Volkswagen W12 Nardo Concept 01 (almost $2M each). Honda HSC, Nissan OPTION Stream Z 04 (this thing has 795hp!) & HKS GENKI HYPER SILVIA RS2 (D1GP) 04. Back to the grind...

You can use any car you want for the SuperGT Series. I used an F1.

So congratulations to both UFRA and Brentech.
Here are UFRA (left) and Brentech (right) prize cars:
The car for this months NRPC will be announced soon. Hopefully we'll get more people participating now that we're giving away prizes.
Races with more than 20 laps are absolutely bonkers!
I bought the Formula GT which was the biggest rush I've ever had in a video game (4.8 mill + 1 mill overhaul WOW!) only to find out it is far and beyond anything I can handle with my DFGT, and to top that off I have to compete in multiple races with 20+ laps.
Are there any tweaks that can be made to make those races winnable?
I can get to first place by purely muscling my way through the pack but keeping the top spot is insane.

I haven't raced those races (fuck that) but while messing around with the FGT, try max downforce, racing softs and keep your speed as high as possible around corners. The slower you go around a corner, the less downforce (and grip) you'll have. You'll be surprised just how fast you can go around some of the tighter bends in that thing.
This is a copy and paste job. Not my work, just something I found on GTPlanet.CozMick said:
He apparently made this for B-Spec, but it works extremely well in A-Spec as well. Generally you'll overtake faster than he says, but if not, don't worry. There was a few where I took the lead later in the race. Worked great.

Finished buying the last of the premium cars. Only missing the gold rank X2010 (hah, never getting that one!) and the stealth cars, which I assume I can never get.
Will take an eternity to do the same for the standard cars.

I'm having a hell of a time with my Logitech Force GT. After playing with it for hours, I went back to a Dual Shock and all of a sudden my driving improved dramatically. I mentioned this to a friend who said that it was probably because I had to drive in 900 degree mode.
I'm not sure if this has been covered in the 500+ pages before, but is there a way to fix this? I'm reading online that Polyphony doesn't give you the option of a 200 degree steering lock?
I'm a bit upset because I understood that the wheel would make for a more realistic and accurate driving experience, when in fact it feels just the opposite. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Thanks for the information guys, appreciate it.
Gonna give it a rest for the night as my nerves and reaction speed are shot to shit (2am here
Thanks again
eh, look, there's only one thing to "tune" and that's to switch skid recovery force on. Not saying the tune above won't help, but that aid will make all the difference. I can appreciate the challenge of the fgt championship, but that's what I went to in the end(that is, my second try lol). With the way Polyphony has it structured, the chances of wasting hours of racing because someone hit you or you put a wheel on the grass one too many times is not worth it for me. I think I ended up retiring out of 2 tracks(monaco and suzuka) and still won gold.
Just wait till you hit the Zombie Vettel Challenge, save your efforts for that!
As a side note, looking back at it now, I(along with a bunch of other posters) was cursing this challenge for any number of things back in the first OT. Now that I'm aware of the problem Polyphony had with the F1 license, things get a little clearer. I imagine the original intent wasn't to just make the player refresh the used car lot over and over again(remember there was no online dealer back then) but to simply require the F10 or F2007 for the race.

I might read the info on them one day... but no, would take forever to actually drive them all.offshore said:But have you driven them all?
I think it just proves that they really didn't need to put the standard cars in the game. Once you start buying the premium cars in earnest, it becomes more than obvious that 220 premiums is absolutely fine, and there was no need for the standards.Psychotext said:
Too bad Yamauchi didn't feel the same.
