That damn Vitz/Yaris race, lol.

I did it fine on A-Spec, but my B-Spec driver was have some real trouble getting anywhere during the race, I ended up spending like 80k upgrading parts for the car and he was first within a matter of minutes and stayed there with a rather large gap, maybe I went overboard on the spending. :rofl:

[MightyJordan]

I only looked at B-Spec for a couple of minutes, but is there a way to fast-forward races? If not, I'm just gonna leave it alone.

I haven't seen anything while playing, so I'm pretty sure there is no fast forward button, lol.

Which is good, because I would feel like a right idiot if I had watched all these races so far and never found the FF button. :p

Yeah the Lotus Elise is driving me and my GF mad just now, spins out soo easily.

Is damage not unlocked at earlier levels?

Maybe it is in the GT Life mode or whatever it is called, but I know I quite easily crushed part of my car in arcade not long after I started playing.

And I was around level 10 when I nearly destroyed the front part of an expensive car on the Japanese Highway, and it didn't take long to get through the levels, I would assume if it is locked it is just so you don't destroy the cars when beginning out because you do have to repair the frame of cars after crashing them a lot.

You don't start the game in GT mode with vehicle damage unlocked. We've been told once you reach level 20 (we're only at level 11), you'll get access to realistic damage including mechanical problems and then, when you reach level 40, you get access to simulation-level damage where parts can fall off and cars can be completely totaled.

Just be happy you got a Bronze and didn't go on a killing spree instead, lol.

Best just to jump in, make sure you check the driving options, they turn some stuff off which is why it is such a pain in the ass, a little fiddling can make it a whole lot easier than the kick in the balls it was beforehand, lol.

hmmm good idea.. I should do that.. lol. Btw, online--wise.. it's still not as smooth as Forza 3 so far. I was playing with Rapjutwarrior and I see him just glitching everywhere it's terrible. lol.

Once you get the hang of it sliding around in the elise is a little bit fun :p

Getting gold in it though.... eh, no.

GT5p was the same way :(

I can't even get bronze in the damn VW vans :(

[AbandonedTrolley]

Got gold on vans, not tried Elise yet.

[Renshaw]

Going to buy it todayyy!!! :D

Add on Psn network for some inter neowin competition! xrenxshawx

[Mr_Edwardo]

Finally managed bronze with the Elise last night - did take a fair few tries first though!

Does anyone know what the advanced challenge is?

I got that second try, but I have no idea how to get gold :(

Elise

[Lingwo]

I had gold on the VW one and on gambon i thought i'd try and cut it, like they do on the show and it disqualified me. I was annoyed after that, so every other try got worse. It isn't like it is difficult, it is just the AI doesn't get out your way and brakes way to early and for far too long. A lot of corners you can just go through without actually braking.

[Aaron Olive]

I did the Lotus TG challenge with a DS3 and got GOLD no sweat.

Tips: use SRF setting, leave TC at 5 ABS 1 everything else off.

[MightyJordan]

I'm currently doing the Yaris/Vitz race with the '07 1.5 RS model (failed earlier with the Sport model), and it's got 7 gears. :blink:

[rajputwarrior]

just power slide like crazy... and go into the turns really late.

[Razorwing]

What I did on the Van.. was go into turns really late as well.. Some turns like Chicago you can get away with to take the inside and make sure you are in the right gear. It does get close to the end, you have to pass the leader at the last turn.

[Mr_Edwardo]

I'm starting to get really annoyed about the way that my settings for each race (TC, ABS, Stability etc.) don't seem to get saved, and I have to go and change it back every single event I do. Anyone else find this to be a problem?
