There are no words to describe the Vettel challenge. I think it´s the best gaming moment i´ve had in a while.

It´s just so... amazing! You can take corners like you´ve always dreamed.

Takes a time to get used to the car, since you never driven anything like it.

I grinded enough on b-spec to open the challenge, and my god, crazy XP:lol :lol :lol

I still have to gold the Suzuka event, by so far i already went up five levels:lol

With the amount of XP it gives, i can still get up another one with an extra gold. Crazy fun, and a nice change of pace from the endless grinding.

The car is just absolutely insane, people will love it. 200kmh in first gear:lol

Finally got gold on AMG intermediate full lap! Pad and only ABS 1 on, that was one hell of a lap but the practice paid off. Final time was 7:04.007

Why can't I change my gear ratio nor top speed with a custom transmission for the Challenger challenge? Cannot change a thing, just keeps my cursor on the Question Mark when I want to change it.

It isn't there when I open the tuning shop. There is only the 5,000 and 8,000 CR transmission. Now what?

EDIT: Oh it's there, I just didn't notice it because of the huge picture and not being in a box. Fucking UI design :lol

Sounds awesome. My B-spec is at a high level 26 right now, what's the quickest way to 30? I'm thinking of leaving it on overnight to do the Tsukuba 4 hour or something.

Also, what's the difference in the prize cars for bronze/silver/gold in that event? I heard there's a carbon version of the X1?

I want to win the Super GT (legit, no Minolta etc..:lol ) which GT car should I get? It doesn't matter if it has a cockpit or not, and money is no object.:D

I think they're all the same - they all list as the same BHP and weight. I'd probably go for a GTR-based one though

Got golds on the first two, the last one is a bronze, therefore i only got the prize for all bronzes, which is the S.Vettel X1. I plan on finishing that tomorrow, and i haven´t read anything about the challenge, so the prizes will be a surprise. I hope one of those 20 million Le Mans cars, beause i don´t to spend that much money.

As for the grinding, Indy 500 with the Minolta was my path. two hours and fourty minutes if you leaves the bobs by themselves. Now i want to see if i can use the X1 on that event to save some time.:lol

I really need help on rain races. It seem like I do worse with rain tires. The computers are doing better than me when they have their standard tires on for that one lap.

Spinning out.

I used the Lexus ISF Racing concept as you can use it in the DTM and Super GT races. I think it's cheaper too.

Can the Formula GT be used for "Like The Wind", and is it quick enough?

I believe the answer to that is yes and yes.

Thanks for the help, I settled on the Nissan Xanavi Nismo Z '06.

B-spec on the other hand.:lol I'm throwing the best I got at the Super GT for that one.

If you can be bothered to push a button to go to the next race or change tires (when needed) then the Dream Car championship with the Formula GT is the most efficient way to get to level 30. Offers the most xp/money per minute.

When i played the Dream Car challenge (or what it's called, it is the last challenge/championship in A-Spec) i noticed that the AI was driving into the pit stop after each round, even in the races when it wasnt raining (so no need to change the tyres). Does anyone know why? I just got curious about this :)

I love all the "almost" real racing drivers as AI opponents. Seen a ton of finnish names like Kankkunen and Raikkonen too.

Yup, that's a really cool experience. No stupid gear indicator flashing constantly makes all the difference. It also makes you appreciate the smooth visuals a lot more.

Alright, 4.7 million in the bank once again, which is the better car with performance upgrades: the Audi R10 or the Mazda 787b?
Click to expand...
I've got a Mazda 787B with all upgrades installed and some tune from GTP and it seems to want to spin out at corners. It's difficult to control. Or maybe it's just my driving style. :\

The R10 on the other hand handles beautifully. Plus, the open top cockpit view is really nice. Hits 220mph pretty easily. The 787B is faster though. Can hit 235mph. But it's still quick and has superior handling so I prefer the R10.

yeah, i quite like that the R10 has an open cockpit. It comes out of stock under 700hp, what can you get it to with the upgrades? Above 800hp?

With some tuning of the transmission you can get the R10 upto like 400km/h (about 248mph) :) I havnt tried the 787B myself, but i agree that the R10 is great to handle. The R10 is one of my favorite cars in GT5 so far :)

781 with the high RPM turbo kit.

I simply love the car. Would have preferred the R15 in the game though :p It was so good in F3.

I'm also looking for a premium Le Mans prototype. There are conflicting posts everywhere about which is the one to buy. It seems to be between the Mazda, Audi and Peugeot. The Peugeot looks awesome, but the open top Audi sounds nice(although the starting stats are in Peugeot favor). Mazda is the most expensive and it's old.... arghhh

If you need something for the GT All Stars/Like the Wind/Dream Car series, then the Peugeot 908 HDi '10 is the vehicle you want. 922hp with upgrades and an oil change, great handling. Either you or your B-spec racer can win handily with it.
