Cool, i wanted this one but instead i got Gordon´s car, which now has almost 2.000 kilometers in it.
About the expert Nascar events, the settings are pure bullshit. Nascars do not have active stability manegement systems, so you don´t need to feel like cheating when you turn it off, because they don´t exist in real life.

FYI, you don't need to use a Super GT car for the Super GT Series in Extreme. Any Japanese car will work. My MINOLTA made short work of it. :lol

I've just made this biggest mistake of my life...maybe this deserves its own thread but I'll post it here:
A few days ago I hit lv 30 and get the message that the X1 is available at the dealership. Excited, I go check it out and then decide to save up and buy it rather than doing the challenges. Today, after spending nearly all of my spare time for the past 5 days by grinding, I finally hit 20 million credits and get the message saying that I've reached the maximum amount of money that I can have. As you can imagine, by now I'm really excited to have finally saved enough money to buy the X1. I head straight the dealership, choose the nicest shade of blue, and click "buy".
Game: "Sorry, you must be level 40 to buy this car."
Me: "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!" *looks at his current level* (only 31)
:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
I completely forgot about having to be a certain level in order to buy a car :lol
So now I've got 20 million credits and my bank account is maxed out so that I can't earn any more credits. I've already bought almost all my favorite cars.
Do I:
A) Buy a the Mazda 787B + Ferrari F1 + something else
B) Buy the Mazda 787B and buy all the upgrades for every car in my garage
C) rage quit :lol
D) something else?
Well, what would you do?

Buy a Ferrari F1, save rest (don't need to spend all of it bro), XP grind B-spec to level 40.

Dead Man said:So what is the most efficient way to grind XP in B spec? I may as well go up some levels while I'm not playing
what level are you?
Oh man, I feel bad for you. That must've been a whole ton of laps around Indy :lolcelcius said:
Personally, I probably would've rage quit right there for a few weeks, but that's just me.
Also, if you had spent all that time instead practicing with the x1 in the challenges, you probably could've bronzed all of them and gotten it for free :-/

So my buddy was saying that he read that racing soft tires are actually better in the wet than inters or full wet.
Anyone experience this too? It wouldn't surprise me at all. I swear I was quicker in my softs as it started to rain than my wets the other day. I just figured the track was more wet.

Except racing slicks, no matter how sticky, are like greased glass in the wet.

I believe you get 65k xp for Grand Vally Enduro, which took about 2 hours with the Minolta. The Polyphony Digital Cup on Extreme gives you about 15k for each of the 5 races, and takes about 1 1/2 hours, plus you'll bank around 350,000 total credits for winning the championship. So that's my go to grinder for right now.
Nice one, thanks for the tip. Sounds good.weekend_warrior said:
Edit: And I'm sure most people have figured this out by now, but if you want more of a paint colour, you can trade a car with another account on the same PS3, so you can get as much paint as you want, as long as you can find it on a car and you are patient.
Edit2: Do you mean Dream Car cup? The Digital Cup is a 3 race series in expert.

Yeah, sorry, the Dream Car Cup. Last series on Extreme.
The PD Cup is good XP grinder for lower levels.

Good news, everyone. They're going to be upgrading the standard cars to premiums.
http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/12/15/flying_get/
I wonder if they're going to upgrade them all or just a few.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
What is the point of B-spec? I messed around with it a little bit... but my driver, I think he has a learning disability, and it seemed pretty frustrating and boring.
Just a literal grind.
You guys find some enjoyment from this -- not driving? I can't wrap my head around it.

Awesome news.B.K. said:
I got it without too much work later into the game. Some new cars had given me odd 10s values so I had to look around for something to fix, grabbed 2 wrx, a mclaren F1 and some car washes. Since cash apparently caps at 20M it could also be gamed that way if someone planned what to buy with 20M even.Melfice7 said:
