2 quick questions-

1. Is there an easy way (or a way period) to turn off the music?

2. Two-player split screen. There is no replay option????? Am I missing something?

1. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that if you went into the music menu and set it so that all songs were not used for M-R-S (Menu-Race-Slideshow) then maybe it would disable all music.

Or just go into options and set menu, replay, race, etc. music volumes to 0. lol

2. Not sure.

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.

I love it... but I've also realized that I'm incapable of remembering what gear I'm in. :lol

I've used it as a crutch for so long apparently. It's taking some time to adjust, and I notice I've been driving more cars with the digital indicators. haha.... sigh. I suck.

I believe some people won that race with a ZR1(Race Modded)

As for me, I had a choice between the Minolta 88C-V or Formula Gran Turismo so it was a piece of cake :lol

Ok Bonus #4, the Dodge Challenger. Am I just bad? I'm getting left in the dust. When I max speed @ 105 or so on the straight aways they just burn me.

I could read the help, but what does the higher speed offset?

Kept coming 5th in the Honda CRZ race until I realised it could be bumped up 4hp and so I did it and then I came first. Who woulda though 4hp would make such a difference?

Acceleration, so it's better to have a balance rather than shooting it to the max.

I've looked everywhere, but how do you turn on mechanical damage in offline mode?

It's only available in the practice mode. It will show as an option in the screen were you pick automatic/manual trans, tires, etc.

So the fiat 500 challenge in the seasonal events, it says the car has to have 65hp but the one in the dealership has 68. Halp?

When I bought it the HP went down to 63, I didn't know if my eyes were playing tricks on me or what. It did qualify for the seasonal event though.

PD's answer: the car hasnt "broken in" yet, hence the lowered HP. Once you drive it for a few hundred(or thousand) miles, the HP will bump up.

Just realised it's now playing Jazzy/Lounge versions of Christmas songs at the main screen (where you select GT Life, Arcade, GT TV etc.). :D

In the general wheel settings under the game's option menu, I made sure and turned Power Steering to "on" and as far as force feedback goes, I found it to be pretty nice at around 7. Although that's preference.

:lol Oh ok. Yeah, I would turn it on and give it a try. lol I just did that by default because I've driven cars in real life without power steering before and it's kinda crappy. So naturally I thought that option would help out, and that setting combined with force feedback at 7 really feels about right compared to a typical car.

Which GTR did you guys use for the last seasonal challenge? I'm looking at the Spec V thinking this might work but it's 157,500 and didn't want to spend that much on something I wasn't sure of.

Spec V. There's probably a more optimally weighted GTR somewhere, but you're going to want to have a Spec V in your garage anyway, since it's a great car.

Anyone else find themselves shuffling through camera angles? A lot of the time I'm in cockpit mode, but if the view is restrictive or it's a standard car, I use the bumper cam. On rally stages and in the rain, I still find myself going to the chase cam to see exactly where what is sliding. If anyone is using the chase cam for dry events, you're really missing out on the detail. Not visually, but in terms of when your car starts to lose grip. There's a huge difference in how perceptible it is with the cockpit/bumper cam vs chase.

Get the vanilla GTR, the specV isnt worth it for the price (double the price, only marginally faster). With the 70k difference you can buy all the weight reduction upgrades. Then blitz the seasonal challenge.

well that makes sense because modern cars have power steering anyway :D i'll turn it on later after this 1000km Suzuka race, my M. Burns is already lapping the 2nd place driver by 26 laps :lol
