Oh My God!

Last lap on Cape Ring, final corner in 2nd place, I tell my B-spec driver to overtake, he nudges the first place AI into the pitlane :lol :lol :lol

The only difficult one is S-8 but that's because it forces ASM on. You might be able to turn ABS off and it will force ASM off as well. I didn't try it that way.

That is stunning. Hadn't seen that before.

For some reason, DLC hadn't occurred to me until I read your post. Now I have to write 'Sierra RS500 Cosworth' on 50,000 pieces of paper to airdrop over Polyphony HQ.

Tried that one too, didn't seem to work out too well. The only car I've had any degree of success with is the Toyota. I'd buy that fan car... except, well, I haven't seen it and I don't have that sort of money. :lol

Wouldn't be so annoying, but there are so many utterly retarded crashes which happen in the race. :(

I have a chaparrel 'D' '69, the older one. Not sure if its a lot slower than the J but you can try? Or a fully tuned cobra which is supposed to be enough. BTW, you talking about a-spec or b-spec? If b-spec ignore everything I just said because they aren't enough :p Let me know if you want to borrow them

(oh and accepted your friend request. Can you send me that car and I'll see if it shows up in 'my GT home' on the web without switching on the PS3.. )

You can always force it off during the race right?

hmm to me though , GT is all about driving a car around the track, cutting off seconds from my personal best while enjoying the driving experience

have you never tried GT before? driving a car you like in the Nurburgring here is a sublime experience

tough one to call then, in GT5, its more of finding your own personal goal, collect all 1000+ cars, gold all the licenses, finish all A-spec races , get all RM cars etc ...

plus the online

I think if there is any game that has a chance at holding your attention span for more than a week, it has to be Gran Turismo 5. There is so much in this game that you are a) bound to find something you like, and b) take more than a week just to check out all the stuff that is actually in there. From Rally in the Alps, to weird cars on the Top Gear track, NASCAR, go-karts, learning all about photography, generating tracks, or driving on the Ring with changing weather and day/night - this is the biggest and most varied racing game in existence.

Mazda Eunos (bronze IB license) and Dodge RAM (bronze IA license) are useful cars, as you need both (a Mazda Eunos/MX-5 and a truck) for race events.

I'm not a racing game fan too. Only played Mario Kart, Modnation Racer and MotorStorm off and on. Ignored the rest. I got GT5 and loved it because it's very easy to start and rewards/encourages the player. The driving is strangely fulfilling. I actually don't mind the retries here.

The SambaBus challenge is frustrating at first because the speed is slow, and I tried to Gold it asap. Once I let go and focus on driving carefully, it kinda clicked. The Mercedes challenge is amazing ! It's the exact opposite of the SambaBus challenge. Here I let the car go wild. Am intrigued that the same game can provide drastically different driving experiences. The karting is fun too because it's easy to steer the little thing.

A-SPEC LEVEL 24 FINALLY woooo
Click to expand...

I got the feeeling that after level 21 it turned into a total grind. I´m at level 22 for four days, doing some stupid 1000-2000xp races in a-spec.

I want to unlock the AMG challenges so i can get a boost in my xp levels, and unlock the endurances, but i don´t think i´ll be able to pass two levels during the weekend.

From 35 to 40 it will be an unbearable grind if they don´t patch xp on online races.

B-Spec. I'm starting to suspect that I'll want my driver at level 30 before trying again.

Yeah, the pace of leveling is clearly flawed. It took me like three or four days to get to level 24 but I'm pretty much already level 25 in less than 2 hours thanks to getting gold on all expert AMG events (±35 000 XP per gold medal...).
Also got like 1,500,000 Cr. with the AMG events !:lol



Oh and I've finally got the gold cup in the GT All Stars Championship !
I swear, this championship was made to show some of the biggest flaws of the game : the AI not being aware of the player and those fucking terrible collisions. Yesterday, I was so pissed at the terrible collisions that I wanted to throw my PS3 out the window !
I hate it when you're following those goddamn LMP1 and suddenly the car in front brakes (for no reason), you bump into him and by some magical physics of which only Kaz has the secret, your car begins to spin...

Today as I'm going through b-spec mode I've only got the last two series in extreme left to do (not including endurance races). So I go into the formula gt series and it's 37 laps per race, for 5 races (and these aren't short tracks either). There's no way I'm going to sit through that :lol :lol
I'd probably have to leave my ps3 on all day just to finish it.
I'm just going to grind until I go up 1 more level, then do the dream car championship, and be done with b-spec mode.

Printscreen and MS Paint? Does the GT website let you lookup your stats or are you plugging a usb keyboard into your ps3 and pressing printscreen?

Feel free to add me, check my profile for my PSN name.

Semi related, how long does it take for new friends info to show up on the website? I just added a bunch of people (Hi GAF!) but they do not show on the website yet.

How long do this website takes to update? I got the A-License last night but it's not showing on the GT5 home website yet.

BTW, I got another truck, so if anyone needs it I'll lend it WITHOUT a security deposit now.:lol

Also I got the Zero-Dome for the Japanese classic events if anyone needs to borrow it.

Finally if anyone wants to trade a California '08 with upgrades on a Lambo Gallardo, please let me know as I have 2 Californias and Zero Gallardo.
