Yeah, NASCAR was unexpected on my fun-o-meter.
I had a great time using racing modified civics/integras/golfs on the 'ring the other day as well. Just a bunch of randoms, but we were doing 3 lap races and it was good times.
I don't spend a whole lot of time in FF cars, total traction monsters.

So my PS3 just died a YLoD death with my GT5 disc in the drive, is their a trick to getting a disc out of a dead unit? I have an unopened launch 360 on standby so I just need to find a way to remove the disc.

What´s funny is that nobody ever goes to Indy, it´s all about Daytona.
I hope PD is taking notes, because Nascar online is really fun.
If they correct the draft effect, and if they add the right settings for the cars (like tire pressure), it will improve a lot on GT6.
Also, the course generator should allow us to create ovals. With the simple ability to choose banking, and a few parameters live tri-oval, indy style, martinsville style, things like that, people won´t need to keep repeating Daytona endlessly.
It´s by far the most played online event.
I have a friend who hates Nascar in real life, never watched a race and still likes to race in Daytona in GT5.
I guess people really love the bunched up racing where it´s almost like a lottery.
Yeah, it's just a little too extreme at the moment. I'd like to see the option of two draft settings, like real or standard, where standard is the draft effect now, and real tones it down and makes it more realistic.seattle6418 said:
They also need to come up with a better penalty system. When someone puts penalties on, if you glance the wall you get that 4 sec penalty, sometimes you just end up losing the draft and your race is pretty much over.
That second Loeb challenge is killing me! I got so pissed that I went out and bought a Logitech wheel at lunch. I wish I would have bought this months ago, what a difference playing with it makes.
I still havent beat that damn race, but I cut quite a few seconds off of my fastest time with a controller in only 4 or 5 tries with the wheel.

That is the only race I have left besides the two 24hr races. No matter what I try, I can't beat the championship. :-[

This is my only Nascar Event left as well. I came sooo damn close the other night (pure luck) and thought I was going to get it and then a car slid up into me and I got DQ'd even though I was holding my line. [FACEMADASFUCK]
Ive also read to turn off ABS, but as you stated you cant. However, last night I read that if you have the Logitech GT5 official wheel that you can hit that red button and turn off ABS on the fly that way, even though you cant in the pre-session settings screen. I plan on giving that a try this evening when I get off work.
That and the middle Loeb Rally challenge are my 2 biggest challenges that Im working on right now. The Loeb Rally, Im not sure where/how to shave more time off. I feel like Im flying through the course and getting out of corners fast, but I still fall 1-3 seconds short of bronze every time. I had no trouble with the 1st or 3rd courses in that challenge. And yes, I have turned off traction control
offshore said:
You are probably right -- I knocked the first Loeb challenge and 3rd (snow one) out no problem. My first time on the middle one I was 15+ seconds off of Bronze. Since then, I have always been rushing since I was so far off. Ill give it another go tonight and try your approach.
Yeah - all Ive read online is to turn off ABS as well, but you can only turn it down to 1. But as mentioned above, I read late last night that you can override the settings by using the wheel to turn it off, so Im going to try that option tonight.
I watched a few videos of Eiger gold runs and I think I have an idea of where I can shave some time now. Hopefully Ill wrap it up tonight.

Yeah, I thought I was doing something wrong, haha. Only chance Ive had is to get right behind the Lowes car and stay perfect behind it through the first corner. If so, you'll be 1.3 seconds off at the first marker but can close in on that straight away. I got up to 6th ONE time but thats when an inside car road up and barely touched me which gave me DQ.
I really hope that modifying the settings in race with the wheel work -- otherwise Im guessing Ill never beat that challenge unless they update it with the next patch.

So which 900k range race car should I buy?
The Lexus cars have lower HP's than the Nismo's and etc.

The air of experience trophy is stupid.
At first, I thought you can get it by just maxing out one driver's experience bar (thats how the trophy describes it), but apparently you have to do 500 races on one driver.
All my drivers are already level 40 and none of them have even close to 200 races. More recently, 4 out of the 6 drivers are starting to lose their stat points (green bars are turning grey) so I'll have to retire them since theyre becoming useless.
Apparently the "best" way to get the trophy is do Sunday Cup B-Spec over and over and over and over. Sheesh PD, everything in this fuckin game is grinding relentlessly and 99% of them are for pointless reasons *smfh*
/end rant
ps: oh and remote b-spec races dont count towards the 500 races requirement. Fuckin really PD??!?! >_>

Really? You sure, cause the count doesn't go up in real time. Only when you select "retrieve rewards" or whatever the button says. Once that's done, you exit out and back in, it should have an incremented count.fu3lfr3nzy said:
So are you saying that even with the count going up, it doesn't add? =\

I dont know this by experience, but I was reading over some posts on GTP and some of them have drivers with over 500 races (most of those remote b-spec) and the Trophy never shows up.
Unless, you need 500 races AND max out the experience bar, in which case PD needs to be more clear of the requirements instead of their vague "let them figure it out" approach.

Anyone else got a Nissan R92CP?
I was checking my garage today and noticed mine had an unusual high HP, and were talking about one from the used car lot with dirty oil, etc.
Supposed to be rated at 788hp, but mine was 934hp
After oil change, it was like 1027(?) and with a Stage 3 Turbo, its around 1070+ which makes it the most powerful Group-C LM in my lot.
I figured it had to be a dud. If its a rare bug, well at least shes a keeper :lol

No.
I hated getting that trophy but my driver Peter Schuhmacher got it for me with 165 races.
What you do to get this trophy is create a new driver and start using him on endurances and high rank races. His experience bar will raise considerably.
Then when you are close to it, like it was my case, it´s just a matter of 20-30 tsukuba sunday cup races to finish it off.
But you don´t need 500 races. That would be awful. (as if b-spec needed to be even more awful).
On a related note, i just got level 40 on boring spec a few hours ago. Took me a while because i only did Le Mans once. Since i´m collecting cars, i just did dream car b-spec endlessly.
Now Nurb24 is running and tomorrow night i´ll be able to say: B-spec NEVER AGAIN!!!
---
The R92CP does have 1027hp tuned, so it´s not a bug. It´s one of the few cars i´m still missing, but i know it´s supposed to have that much HP.
As for the 1 million car choice, i´ll always go with a SuperGT machine.
Yellowhat GTR ´08 or Xanavi GTR ´08 are my picks.
As part of next season's schedule we are aiming to use one user created track. To involve you guys we are going to hold a competition were you submit your track to us and we will vote on the best track.

Nvm the Air of Experience. I checked this morning and now it says I got the Trophy 2 days ago wtf!??! Just yesterday it said I didnt even have the Trophy ._.
As for my R92CP, the hp is 1027 before I even slapped on a Stage 3 Turbo. Normally a Stage 3 Turbo should bump up the hp to 1027, but mine was already 1027 to begin with (after oil change)
After I slapped on a Stage 3 Turbo, the car now makes 1079hp, which is highly unusual.
