Yeah, it was pretty easy... and HEY! Guess what I won?

:lol
Tesla ran out of juice 25 minutes into a 4h event, after which it is apparently limited to 49mph until it makes it back to a pit stop. :lol The description said this thing was supposed to get 200+ miles a charge!
edit: Oh god, it didn't recharge the battery at the pit stop...
Pro-tip: don't use a tesla for an endurance race

At least they're being realistic with it. Tesla's take around 4 hours to recharge.
Wow, you're right - just watched that review again and they said it would only do 55mi around their track. It puttered out about a quarter of the way into the third lap of the Nurburgring,TTG said:
edit: nvm, was reading the wrong distance on wikipedia. Still pretty cool, though.
Indeed, but I was kinda hoping they'd forsake realism in this case. Oh well, my b-spec team can suffer for another few hours. :lolSolidSnakex said:

I wonder if they stay true to the Ford GT's fuel consumption

GAF whore truck gives me an idea. We need GAF Paint Whore Car.
GT5 GAF decides on a car paint color we all want (such as Matte white) and buy a car that has this color on it. We start sending her around and voila! Matte White paint chips for everyone!
What do you guys say? I've already traded for paint chips this way with leunam. It works great. Matte White is a fantastic choice btw.
man, I love driving Cape Ring. That track is damn awesome for an original.
I played GT1,2,3 (and don't remember it) but wasn't gaming up when 4 came out. Not sure if it was new to that game or it's a GT5 course, but it's an exciting drive.
Also just unlocked the Finale trophy and end movie which I totally wasn't expecting yet...

The recurring problem for most people is to not brake enough and too late. You got to probably take the corners wayyyy slower that you are right now.
And then there's the whole drifting thing. It's not magic and you have to initiate this with the same logic as in real life. The weight of your car needs to be on the front wheels so when you turn, the back slides out because it's actually lighter. To achieve this you need to plunge right into the interior of the curve and hit the brakes. When you car is starting to slide you will have to re-accelerate in order to keep the momentum, and to counter steer so you're not spinning out.
Brake too much and your front wheels will lock and you won't turn. Brake too late of not enough and you'll will miss initiating your drift and therefore will probably either stay on grip or slide laterally on the wall.
If you're interested in cornening logics and just driving fast in general, take a peak here. They will explain it all way better than I do.

This is relevant to my GT5 interests.
Thank you for that explanation! I'm improving...I think. Atleast I don't stall at every single corner now.Ranger X said:The recurring problem for most people is to not brake enough and too late. You got to probably take the corners wayyyy slower that you are right now.

I like this idea but I ran into a problem and now my matte silver paint is wasted on a crappy Cappuccino. lol
So I painted the car matte silver and gifted it to a friend. He received the car but the following paint it came with was the factory color. The car is still painted in matte silver but he didn't receive the custom paint for it. Told him to gift it back to me and I got the same result.
Yeah, I finally completed the first set of B-Spec events and then the top row of the 2nd. Hate how long the races are, but valuable assets if you can manage to not have to spend extra money to make your driver win.expy said:
I think the top 3 of that second set don't have any restrictions so I just let my boys drive my DB9 with a simple oil change pick-me-up and they tore it up. lol

Yup, custom paints don't apply in this. There are a few cars that come factory with matte paint.
The LF-A is one of them. We need to find a cheap alternative that comes with factory matte paints. The LF-A has Matte Black. Let's look for some Matte White on a stock car.
Get on it, Detective GAF!

Fuck this shit to hell. Fuck the Muscle Car Championship and fuck my idiot B Spec driver who insists on rubbing against the butt of every single car he's supposed to overtake.
How come only my driver spins out in every other turn and the rest of the AI drivers seem to be glued to the track?

The first few times, yes. But these last attempts I have been carefully micromanaging his mood to keep him in the blue, and he still finds a way to get out of the track in the most crucial moments...only to politely wait until every car has passed before entering the track again. :lol Damn you H. Andersson. I thought you were cut from a different cloth.Metalmurphy said:
