So how do you get the Chrome paint and is it true that you can only use a paint color one time once you acquire it?

Im only level ten (and i started a b-spec driver who made it to level 1 yay!). I got the first two licenses and did all the special events i could. (GoKarts at normal difficulty are insane! Can they be upgraded?)
I also cleared most of A-Spec Beginner cause i lucked out and won a '73 MR Lotus that won me the Euro Classic Car championship. My best luck was finding a '69 Stingray in the used car for $20,000. I dont know how much i spent on engine work and tires and a fully customizable transmission, but i have a feeling that 525bhp with Corvette handling is gonna carry me through quite a few challenges.

Just let me know in the thread when you're ready to do it and we'll set up a time. We could do it right now if you want

But here's a question to ponder:
What if you paint a car chrome. Then, trade it to a friend, and he gives it back.
Will that car (being chrome) give you the chrome paint chip again?
This works with other cars - for example I gave out my Dodge Ram to 3 people. I received it back 3 times, and I have 3 more "Flame Red" paint chips for a total of 4 due to the first time I won it.
Haha brilliant.
At B-spec level 25 you get all the slots open for the six drivers, so I have 2 middling drivers one slightly hot, one slightly cold, one Ice cold the other super hot and then my last two are inbetween middle and super cold and vice versa.
I just put my shit hot driver as the starting driver for the endurance race and he's batshit insane O_O overtaking wasn't enough he pure rammed into the poor driver while overtaking, and he's treating the race like a drift challenge which would be funny if it didn't eat at the tires so quick. :|
He's starting every endurance race from now on. :lol

Nürburgring Type V might be my new favourite track. The detail is astounding. Feels like a totally different track when there's a million people, tents and flags everywhere. Even the roadside ads seem to be completely different. Took like 12 minutes to drive around it with a Vitz but it was oh so worth it. :lol

Just ask bunch of guys a favor. Sent the car to guy 1 and guy 1 sends you the paint and send the car to guy 2 and repeat. You'll get multiple paint in 1 day.

One point I have to make about the Tesla. since it doesnt shift gears, the pitch of noise inside the car just gets high and higher the faster you go.
its excruciating!
at around 150 kph, its like a dog whistle. I wanted to rip my ears off.
how the hell could anyone drive one of these things in real life, at those speeds, if thats the sound it makes?

If anyone wants to send me a CHROME paint car, I would be happy to send it right back, for as many days as was wanted, to help build up the chrome paint collection.
it's just a limit of 1 car per friend per day right? I have not sent two cars out in one day to two different friends yet....

I want to join the league but am scared.
I mean, I'm confused by the first 2 rules. 2 players per team, but must have a minimum of 4 players to enter, but there's no member limit?
I only got 2 hours of sleep and had to walk half hour in the snow both ways today to get my tires changed in real life so please be patient if what I just got confused by makes perfect sense to everyone else.

Think of it like this, basketball tournament: The lakers can have as many people on their team as they want. During a single game, on 2 members of the team can play (race). To make the Lakers, you need 4 members or more.

Trying to keep a line with the controller is hard. :/
In consolation: I slammed into a few cones on my second attempt at the hammerhead. Trying to quick left/right and misjudging speed is WHOOPS on controllers.

Offline GT5 Review:
I'll keep it short. I haven't had online since the release of GT5. Yet I am still very much entertained. The game has reached almost an open world variety of options. GTA is a good example. You had missions, but then when you got bored, there was plenty of content to keep yourself busy with. I feel GT's working the same way. I'm sort of lucky that I have online to look forward to, considering the wide range of options that will be fresh & new to me then. I've had a few close races (lvl16) to where I've won 100th's of a second trophy... The A.I feels great if you play along with them, sure you can grab a 900hp car for a 90hp race, but there is an honest challenge to beat cars with like power, with driving ability. I have yet to feel the sting of not having online, just when I see that the GT Academy has started & with all you guys playing with one another. I'm just working on my skill, and enjoying my alltime favorite pass time, hotlaps & replay fapping. Unlike GTA4, where you found yourself completely bored of the options out there.. there is always a race to do, or a challenge to be done, even more with unlocking lvls.
screw you guys and your online!... for now
truly entertained,

Wow... doing a bspec endurance race in the rain and the AI is utterly awful. They don't seem to understand the concept of half throttle and they're all lurching forward, then slowing down... and so on. Taking about 5 minutes a lap in wet tyres when normally it's about a minute in the dry.
