I still get that occasionally, but the game still loads. Could just be your connection?



Did you buy a custom transmission and increase your top speed?

Hmm, I don't think so. I downloaded the patch fine. Steam doesn't seem to be acting up either. :/

I hate that the Formula GT is a standard car. It's...it's PD's own damn vehicle. I wish i could teleport to PD's offices in Tokyo and berate whoever thought some ugly,low end japanese production car (like the Daihatsu) was worthier of the premium treatment.

I'm in the same boat, man. I want my paint chips! :(

Paint chips? You get paint chips for golding everything? I did the GTR race first. Spent 3 hours on it and golded it. Now I'm down to the Honda going from fastest to slowest. I hear some bad things about the first race. Can't be worse than the GTR right?

Without some active steering, I probably would've thrown my wheel through the TV for that challenge.

I think the Castrol Supra blends the line between GTPSP standard cars like the Veyron and the Furai and the Premium models. There's just enough detail(and a cockpit view!) but the paint job is low res and the model is showing rough edges... then again it is predomenantly white. Oh, and it's slow. Another bad prize car, just give me a proper Super GT thingy so I don't have to spend like a mil.

:lol I'm not a pro race driver. Real cars that people drive have driving aids. Who the hell cares if I turn some on for a damn game?

Especially for that shit challenge.

Golded the GTR Seasonal Event with 2.8 seconds gap between myself and the GT

Settings:

GTR Spec-V:
EDIT: Racing Wheels as well as Aero Kit
Racing Filter - 492 HP
All 3 Weight Reductions + Carbon Hood + Windows + Chassis Reinforcement: 1362 kg
Full Aero Kit:
-Rear Downforce set to 13
Customizable Transmission:
-Top speed 168
Twin Plate Clutch; Semi-Racing Flywheel; Adjustable LSD (Default settings); Carbon Drive Shaft
Customizable Suspension:
Ride Height: (F) -16; (R) -13
Spring Rate: 14; 10.6
Dampers (E): 4; 5
Dampers (C): 4; 7
AR Bars: 3; 2
Camber: 1.4; 1.3
Toe: 0.00; 0.00 <---- who would have guessed?

Sport Softs
-------------------------
Driving Options:
AT
TCS: 3
ASM: Off
SRF: Off
AS: Off
ABS: 1

Just drive the car with those settings. Use your head. I was riding the GT's ass on lap 4 but got a little aggressive in my excitement and took the final turn a bit wide. A bit of throttle control on the straightaway should get you to 165-166. Throttle control on the turns with these settings should allow you to accelerate while hugging the corners.

*tried settings.

I don't see any difference... 1:27.68 lap.... huh?!
*turns off TC
Race won by 3 seconds.:lol

the challenge is flawed. the lotus elise doesn't handle like that. if it were raced on the snow then i could understand the physics in that event, but it isn't and so I don't.

Are you kidding, a mid engine with a micro wheel base.

Search in 'Elise spin' and I am sure you will find lots of videos that show just how easy it is for people to spin.

If you say so. Ive only ridden in one, too tall to drive it. So when you get it sideways you always have smooth and easy control of the car?

All these you tubes make it look like it has a short fuse and has the car spinning like a top just as it does in GT5.

Phew, saved myself some credits there. Almost shelled out 950,000k on the Autech GT-R, only to realise any Japanese car can enter the Super GT races.

Serioulsy, doesn't that really defeat the purpose of having a Super GT event?

Checked out the seasonal online events last night. Nicely done, good challenge and awesome rewards. I only had time for two races, but ended up going up 2 levels and my credits increased from 2M to 3.6M (gold on challenger/indy, gt-r/ss5) :D

Yes it's pretty weird. Especially when you look at the DTM event where they only allow DTM cars.

But you'll want a Super GT car anyway.

I have the same problem. Yesterday I tried that time trial. Before I knew it it was after 3 a.m. And that for a measly 1.19.642 - and it took me long enough before I was in the right car with the right upgrades, but I probably don't have near the right settings just yet.

Wow, drifting is harder than I thought.

I have an FD RX-7 and a BMW Z4 as my drift cars that I spent 3 hours messing with tonight.

My BMW is far superior to the RX-7 since it's much more stable during a drift and doesn't try to kill itself. However it still feels too "grippy" and I need to tune it a bit more to perfect it.

The RX-7 just spins out like crazy. I tried 4 different set-ups based on GTP guy suggestions, and none of them were that great. Just when I thought it was going well the thing spins out, or suddenly gains traction and snaps me to the opposite direction and I'm off the track.

Very hard with a wheel to countersteer really quickly.

As for my birthday car for today, I got a premium 1988 Toyota Supra. Not too bad. ;)

Golded the Fiat 500 seasonal. If anyone wants this car, send me a PM

Off to try and get Gold for the RX7 and the GTR races now...
Click to expand...

I had a hard time with that race. Finally beat it. Going from last to first kinda spoiled me on the loot. That GTR race was so meaty with it's credits and exp. Too bad you don't get anything extra for golding them all. It gave me my level 24, and just enough for a Formula GT at least.

Give me more PD.

I won this one first try, though it was pretty close. :D And completely stock by the way, just bought the car, turned TCS off and vrooom.

Yeah, I thought that one was the easiest. None of them were particularly difficult, as long as you set the car up right.

ok please post your settings for golding the seasonal events.. I obviously suck at tuning cars and use the right settings..

1. Fiat. Used airfilter, got a carbon bonnet. Ended up in second place 7 seconds of the leader.. damn..
2. Honda CR-Z. Filter and some weight reduction.. managed 3rd. place with 12 seconds to the leader..
3. RX-7. Filter and weight reduction and rigid thingy. Can only manage 4th. place.. car floats alot. But I have learned to drift around the last two corners, shaped of alot of seconds, but not enough..
4. Dodge Challenger R/T. Filter and Custom Gearbox. At first I put the top speed to MAX (400 Km/h) managed 6th. place only. Put the max speed down to 320 Km/h, and managed forurth place..
5. Haven´t tried this one yet, but what car would you suggest buying, and what should I tune/set to win the race...?

btw. I am playing with DS3 and, haven´t changed any settings, just running with the standard setting (I mean ABS, TCS etc.)

I know cars gain HP as they "break-in" Maybe that's what happened?
