Nah it's alright, I'll manage it if I can stop the AI from hitting me, but thanks. That 458 was great, a bit loose in the corners but it got the job done. You sure you don't want it back or another car instead?

nah its okay just treat her well okay?

 

and also heres a little tip. not many seem players i have met know this.

 

when you are driving a high powered car (for instance the 458 i send you) its vital to wash it and to change the oil every 100km, and around every 500km its advised to give it a engine rebuild and body restoration.

 

these are expensive but are vital to keeping your favorite car fit :D

 

and also about the RS6 issue, i've got one too and its not really fast. get a R8 V10 and you'll notice its pretty fast from the start and ends up having the speed of my 900HP Lambo SV

Mellors, did you make it?

I had no problem with that i think.. I used the Furai with the topspeed set to 380 or somethig. Only thing i did was block them and never brake.

just another question where do you win the zonda and the toyota race car?

 

The toyota race car as Mellors said is yours after winning like the wind.

The Zonda R is for winning the last championship in the pro series i think, in b spec.

It took my driver almost one and a half hour i think after i gave him the race car.

Ofcourse i was not watching him for that long , i was doing homework xD

Finished off the Beginners Series today, almost finished the Amatuer Series too, I just need to do one race on the Classic Supercars championship or whatever it is. I was waiting for a Countach but then got fed up of waiting for one to appear and saw a Jenson Interceptor in the Used Cars section and bought that instead. Then I upgraded it as I knew it wouldn't be quick enough. It has almost 600BHP now :p

I got pissed off and just turned it off at 5 attempts. Second to last try I got rammed on the second to last corner and lost and on the last attempt they didn't brake like usual into the last corner and used me as a brake instead.

 

They've rushed the game in areas and not put enough races in. I've got to the point where I need a race car to compete in the rest of the races but they cost 5M+ for a decent one and I've only got 2.5M and earnt a total of around 3M. I've even done all the Special events for my level too and still can't buy a race car.

I had a feeling that would eventually happen to me as well, esp since I've been wasting money needlessly tuning cars.

well i have send you my minolta to make it easier :D

[And3rs]

Heh its not gonna be hard now Mellors :)

The nascar is really hard.. A half million wasted :P

[GTAMADDOG]

I'm guessing I'm not the only one who found the AMG Advanced Special Event stupidly easy? Because it was for me, I barely even tried and I got Gold on all four sectors and then completely blitzed the Gold time on the full lap of the Nurburgring Nordschleife.

 

Ah well, easy money. Oh and the German car race on the Expert series was easy, mainly due to my RS6. Shot past most of the AI before I even crossed the start line at the start of the race and I never saw any of them again :p

[DJdan]

YAY I reached lvl. 25 yesterday!!

 

that means its time for endurance races and they seem fairly easy for what i can see :D

[Camel]

Thanks Dan, did it first time with that! Sent it back.

I can trump that, did it with ease in my trusty M3 too :cheeky: no tune-ups.

 

It's cos they're all silly things like 120i's/d's and opel speedster's/speedster turbo's, and to round it off, the 120d kept beating the 120i and the turbo lost to the regular speedster 0_o

[DJdan]

yeah the M3 really is a good car but i really racked up some mileage on it when i just won the first endurance race with it :D it has 558km on it already and its still rising over a 1000 for my GT-R

[GTAMADDOG]

:/

 

I had the likes of M5s and other RS6s in the race I did but never mind :p

[And3rs]

Where do you see the km?

[Camel]

Find the car in your garage and click on it. It's on the right hand side near the bottom.

[pyrre]

I did the 'Like a Wind' event today with my fully tuned Motul Autech GT-R and tbh it wasn't that hard, when you put the gear ratio to the top.

Just had to do some blocking (or not as the other cars give you a nice little speedboost when they hit you on the back :cheeky:).

[DJdan]

you know with all those GT5 photobooks around here we should have a GT5 POTW contest or some sort :D

 

 

just a suggestion

[Ryzza5]

Do you realise how hard it would be to pick a winner each week? :lol:

[DJdan]

yeah i know but with different themes and such will make the players try something else once in a while and we may get to see even better shots :D

[GTAMADDOG]

Something's amiss with this game. I did the Gran Turismo Rally stuff in Special Events yesterday and finished them off this morning. The snow event under the highest difficulty GT Rally was stupidly easy, seriously I swear they must've put the wrong events in certain places. I beat the AI easy, the courses were easy as well. SS1 I beat the second place time by 30 seconds, and then carried on increasing my lead over them more and more with every stage. I think I end up beating the second place time by just under three minutes by the end of the event and I wasn't even giving it the full beans.

 

Bah, easy money again. Level 21 A-Spec now.

[DJdan]

well i found the beginner rally way more difficult than the latter two of the series. because you can only have 250 hp. time to race more need to get to lvl.26 fast :D

[DJdan]

yay im on lvl.26 now i can participate in the 4 hour race with only MX5's :D

[Jazzi]
