Can you upgrade the NASCAR's to give them more power?

In my playing the only thing I have been able to do is adjust the final speed of the gears. I remember in GT2 and 3 (the last ones I played before this) I could set my gear 1 to ridiculous levels if I wanted. So far I haven't been able to do this.
Am I missing something or can you only do it on racing modded cars / cars that are specifically for racing?

There's only one Formula GT championship race in the Extreme series and you can only use that vehicle. I don't remember there being one for the Endurance races though. It's a tough cookie as one mistake can really fuck you over, granted you have 20 laps in each race.expy said:

What is the point of having several of B-Spec drivers? The driver that is leveled up several of time must be better to drive compared to a newly created driver that havnt leveled up once?

Few race series, too quick a jump to very high powered cars, too many race series requiring the player to buy and tune a new car for each, a race series that requires 12,000,000 cr cars at a time where you earn about 30,000 a race, endurance races giving negligible financial rewards, prize cars being once only rewards, races that allow you to enter cars that shouldn't be eligible, no mechanical damage, very slow visual damage, awful shadows, complete lack of driver AI, no option to save mid championship or in a endurance race, an insignificant amount of cars that have RM available, weak array of tyre and tuning options, no ability to set gear ratios, no brake upgrades, no wheels for standards, cars dont get dirty despite having a carwash, no machine test 1/4m and so on, inability to do standing start time trials. etc...
GT's have never been anywhere near close to this amount of grinding and too be honest I preferred GT4's B-spec driver controls.

Ah, so you change drivers in the endurance races? Then it makes sense. Thanks!Goldrusher said:
Is that the arrow icon? I have seen an arrow pointing both down, straight and up. I did some races when the arrow was down, but i couldnt really notice much difference in his driving. I am only on level 9 in B-Spec though, maybe that is why.darkwing said:

Do an arcade race on special stage 7 (no rain.) Drive one of the GT-R's. Turn the rear speakers up on your 5.1 system.
Watch the replay. Enjoy.
Almost brought a tear to my eye during the replay of the tunnel part, and then the fireworks

I'd like to see some kind of amphetamine DLC to remedy the 'down' days. Someone tweet Kaz.

yeah the arrow icon, i just assumed it meant that, gives me the excuse to level up my other drivers lols and of course you would want a somewhat equal level of drivers for the endurance races

My biggest gripe on this game has to be that the first 3 classes almost every single race requires you to drive a 1960-1979 car from various countries.
I'm all for doing stuff like that, but when your biggest selection is standard cars and the used garage is lucky to even have one car that would meet that criteria, that is a huge problem to me.
This game does this to me while I have my 2006 Viper, 2002 Viper, 2006 Corvette, and 2008 Tesla Roadster all sitting in my garage useable in like 3 races. Shit sucks

Ye, it definitely wouldnt hurt to have more equal drivers in the endurance races indeeddarkwing said:
Maybe i should start to use my 2nd driver as well so that he would also level up.Air Zombie Meat

Ok awful n00b question....where do you put on tyres other then we prompted to buy them?

Before a race under driving options. I think you can also do it in the garage. Hit triagnle over the car of choice, then select tuning. Maybe there as well.Starfish_Oxide said:

I have slowly been going through the Apex collectors guide which is wonderful if I may say. I just got to a section that talks about Photo Mode and was actually surprised to see them providing photography composition basics along with the technical aspects which are more evident in that it's in your face as soon as you bring the camera up in game.
I know Photo Mode isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it's one of those segments they obviously put quite a bit of care and thought into....just exemplifies the total (previously coined in OT1) car-gasm with which this game provides.

I can change them in the driver settings before a race rather than the tune screen - the tune screen just gives me a description of the tyres I've bought in the middle section and what tyres are fitted top left above the dyno graphs. Clicking on them just brings up some text - I'm missing completely how to change them from the tuning screen or does this get unlocked later? (lv 21 A spec at the mo)

True. There is a knob beside each gear, so it looks like th game is made like it should be possible to change the ratio on each gare. But for some reason the knobs are "blurred" out, like this feature isnt made available yet for some reason.Leunam said:
