don't suppose you'd lend that car to me for a while after? Just want to get like the wind done so I can get my own historic race car for b-spec. Hit a dead-end otherwise

It's a bit more complicated than that. Used the...

Toyota 7 Race Car '70 which I'm currently using for B-Spec Historic Racing Car Cup.

Which car did you want to borrow?

Minolta would be great. If I can do like the wind and all stars then I'll get the Toyota for historic and you can have the minolta back. I'm too far behind in a-spec to do like the wind just yet.

So you've played all the games I've mentioned?

I prefer gtr and lfs (rfactor doesn't click with me). Haven't ponied up for iRacing yet. But I think the point is if you put in time with GT5, and then try the aformentioned PC sims, it's not like you're going to be vaulted into some new astral plane of simulation, as if GT's model is merely earnest simulacrum in comparison. You'll hardly be out of your depth handling the nuances of these different driving models. In fact you'll be right at home, because they share quite a lot in common. (like maths and stuff). That's all.. I don't see how anybody is impugning PC sims by giving GT's driving model favorable or even comparable marks. That's silly, reflexive even. Anyone with the equipment should check out PC sims because they're great sims, period. But they're far more idiosyncratic than some 'ideal'.

And you get the cars even without getting a trophy in them? oO

Sorry, I should have clarified. This is to quickly cycle your used car dealership. You don't actually need to do a race to cycle a "day" and therefore 6 new cars in the used lot. So by loading B-1, then going next, to b-2 and so on to b-5 you have cycled 5 game days which will have fully cycled in an all new used lot. Quick way to see lots of used cars.

just won some chrome paint. Considering the stupid way GT5 doesn't let you preview what it'll look like before you use it, and you can only use it once before it disappears (smh), what car would you recommend putting it on?

You can exploit the gifting system by setting up a dummy account and gifting the car you paint back and forth to regain and multiply the paint chip.

I just finished the 5 Mercedes AMG challenges in one sitting, playing with hood/bumper cam. When i had gotten used to the speed of the Mercedes car in rainy condition. After that i took an Audi R10 to Nürburgring in dry condition. Man.. to begin with it looked like the gameplay was speed up a lot! Hehe :D

Polyphony Designer #1: What is the best way to torture Steroyd?

Polyphony Designer #2: Make him drive nurburgring

Polyphony Designer #3: That's not enough, he needs to feel more PAIN!

Polyphony Designer #1: I know we'll make him drive nurburgring in the rain with a shitty car.

No problem bud. I'm sorry you feel like this place isn't friendly because I feel the opposite. Sure there are morons in random threads, but game/community based threads are filled with people who just enjoy gaming, not so much the media/fanboy drivel. It's all in good fun (which was what my "boo this man" comment was, just kidding around).

Don't worry about the truck. Looks like we have a few going around now. Enjoy the game and definitely don't be scared to post on here.

Thanks! People are QUICK to judge here and hate is even faster. There's never a: "what do you mean dude?". The pointing finger screaming "a-hole"is lightning fast here.

All he meant was a security, something other posters have asked for for rare cars.

Exactly. And I was explicit in my post: "I'll return your deposit car as soon as you return my truck". Now I'm being called a jackass because I used the word deposit instead of security. Welcome to my NeoGAF. I'm amazed I wasn't banned yet for this.

Exactly. I've only used a duplicate US account but I haven't heard anything about gifting being region locked.

What's going on with Gaffers and online play? We should organise some set nights, hopefully we can get a good number of us playing. At least until the league thing starts

and T Ghost. Don't be so sensitive! Most people on Gaf are very friendly, far friendlier than a lot of message boards

I really hope they change up the online login bonus later on. Getting a can of paint or a new horn would be pretty nifty.

Also, I just realized I haven't installed any horns whatsoever. :p

I've gone in a few times, but seems to just give you a history lesson on the particular car. Don't think it's more than a picture and text, but I haven't dove in any further so I could be wrong.

Went back and tried the Vettel challenges again after a day or two of no driving. Yeah, I think I'm even worse now. :lol

So terrible. Three stupid time trials, and you won't even give me a useful ghost, ie. my own. Instead it's some near perfect driver, which is absolutely useless when you're just starting out since it'll zoom out of view within a few turns and you'll learn nothing (yay, get to watch his replay over and over). And times that aren't bronze don't count at all, so you have to keep mental notes of time checks to mark your own improvement.

Ugh. So fucking terrible. Why the hell would I ever want to drive this racer around anything complicated? I'm not an F1 driver!

it’s more the manufacturers than the cars.

when I started scrolling down the blank spots in the lists, I realized there are hundreds upon hundred of these factoid an pictures and it would take years to see them all if you get 5 cards a day.

kinda hope they release a patch that unlocks them all down the line… (or let you unlock them with in game credits)

Finally won a Delorean. Now I need me a Flux Capacitor and a Mr. Fusion installed so I can travel to the future to pick up GT6.

Man, the tv ads for this game in france are such complete ass.

"OH MAN, I HOPE YOU HAVE GOT GOOD INSURANCE!!" "OH SNAP!!!" "WOOOO!!", ends with a douchy "zeee game eeezz jus' zeee stort" in fake exaggerated french-american accent.

Fucking truck cups. I was left with no money after tuning my truck for the B spec Daytona race. Sonofabitch. :lol

At the very least the B spec event is done. I'll finish the A spec cup tonight and after that, if anybody wants a 750+Hp truck for those events, I'll be glad to help so nobody has to endure what I just went through. >_<
