Glad to help. Let me know if you're in need of anything else and I'll see what I've got.fu3lfr3nzy said:I didnt get to post a reply this morning, but thanks for the 190E

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Ahh, Group C on the 'ring, in the rain. Sublime.
ps: PD really need to be more careful with the QA - Chaparral 2J was not part of the 'Can-Nam' series, contrary to what the X2010 info blurb says. Actually, I don't thing there ever was any Canadian-Vietnamese racing series.

Does running out repeatedly count? I've had 100 litres numerous times.TTG said:
Ground through indi 500 to get the Jaguar XJ13, man endurance races are dull. Absolute gem of a car though, couldn't stop looking around the cabin. All the little stamps on who made what, the gauges, that engine! I was also lucky enough to win 2 P4 Ferrari's in 2 different prize tickets, so I'm now only missing the Ford. If anyone is interested in a P4 and is willing to give up a Mark IV, let me know.

Your car goes into "limp home" mode. I think it basically tops out at something like 40mph. Fun if you're doing Nordschleife.Shaneus said:

Lack of seasonals is making me realise how much I look forward to them every week. Hopefully we'll get a point to point rally seasonal judging by the OCD.
After looking for a good couple of weeks I am totally desperate for either a Toyota 7 or Chap 2J for the historical. Does any kind soul have either they could send me please? I have a decent array of toys if anyone wants one in return.

Story right here: http://us.gran-turismo.com/us/news/academy/d5531.html

The real question should be why does the "real driving simulator" has physics that allow you to go faster on the grass.
Now people have three days to run the competition.
What a mess.

huh...? It's faster cause they just cut the corners, not because the grass makes you faster... it obviously doesn't.seattle6418 said:

Glad to see GT getting a bit more public humiliation. They need it. They need a massive fire lit under their ass.

It does, with the proper setup.
Grab the X2010 and go to the Indy oval track.
Run the car on the back stretch, watch the top speed.
Run the car on the Grass, and watch the top speed.
I got 472kpm on the grass and 457 on the tarmac. (my car needs all kinds of maitenence, but you get the point).
Grass were not just been used for cutting corners, but also for getting higher speeds.

Tested it on a Zonda. 300Km/h on the road, almost 290 on the grass Km/h. Not to mention that it is pretty much uncontrollable on anything other then in a straight line. Also if you watch the youtube videos on how people were cheating it was clearly through cutting corners and not by gaining speed on the grass.

Some cars do go faster off track on grass in real life.
I forget which F1 driver said once you are off the road into the grass, the carefully controlled air flow beneath the car is ruined and not only can you not control the car but it often speeds up due to lack of downforce and proper ground effect. This also happens in LeMans cars. He said that's one of the reasons for "ugly" sand traps instead rather than "pretty" grass runoff.
Not saying its accurate in GT5, only that going into a grass area off track does not mean automatic slowdown, particularly at high speeds in a superlight car.

- What are the prizes?
At the end of the month, the NeoGAFer with the fastest time, as well as a randomly selected participant, will be allowed to choose ANY purchasable premium car, as well as a limited list of standard cars (I don't have them all yet ), to receive as a prize.
Craving for that F1 car? Here's your chance to get it!

Yeah, should definitely light a fire under their asses. The fact that you can get a better lap time by actually wallriding and cutting corners is ridiculous. I'm also surprised there's no way for them to detect (and disqualify) when a driver does that. Other games do.gutterboy44 said:
So, what track have they settled on now... Daytona Speedway? Indy oval?

There is and they do. Your laps get disqualified if you cut corners or hit the rails in Time Trial mode.
Also, the purpose cutting corners, anywhere, is to be faster. It works everywhere...

Alright GT-Gaf I have an extremely stupid question. Keep in mind I'm not into the specifics of cars that much, just enjoy racing so pardon me if this is a retarded question but I'm sure someone else knows.
Anyway I bought a car (nissan gt-r if that matters) and I spent about 115K upgrading it. It was a fucking MONSTER. But then when I got myself another 100K I wanted to finish the upgrade. Keep in mind I have no idea what I'm doing so when I say upgrade, it entails just going into the tuning and pretty much getting everything and anything that sounds good/increases horsepower. But After that second round of upgrading I wanted to test out my upgraded monsterx2 so I do a normal race on the speedway because it's easy to pick up speed there, anyway my car all of a sudden won't fucking budge off of 189mph or whatever When before that upgrade it was going up as much as it could past 200 and on. And it makes this loud sound as well.
So what did I add that I shouldn't have and how do I take it away

Does it reach 189 and goes down then up again? Or it simply can't go any faster? If it's the prior then you need to change the transmission settings.
If not then it's possible you actually installed an upgrade that is worst then what you had. For example you can't have Turbocharges and supercharges. You can re-equip stuff on the car settings menu.

It won't go past 189 it just stays consistent at that speed while making this loud sound like the car is going out of its way not go fasterMetalmurphy said:
Just raise the top speed in the transmission settings. If you can't do that - get a custom transmission, allowing you to change the top speed.-Pyromaniac- said:It won't go past 189 it just stays consistent at that speed while making this loud sound like the car is going out of its way not go faster

Ah you guys were right, I went into my custom transmission thing and changed it from what it was to 273 which seems to be the highest. 842 HP goodness. Here she is :')
