and also :rofl: kaz proved that almost no one reviewed this game properly.

From what I have seen, he has just proven that they missed the damage progression. Wouldn't change a review score by more than a .1 if anything though.

Which starts happening at level 20, hardly that far into the game considering the maximum level is 40+.

i think it would do more then that. because if we are comparing this game to forza (which obviously we are) and none of the reviewers saw the realistic crash damage that is going to effect the score quite a bit becuase forza does do a really good job of it.

I'm 15 and I've seen damage, not anything drastic, but it's there.

To repair my GT-R is tens of thousands at the moment, lol.

It must be level 10 then, not 20.

And yeah cost is why it's said damage is incremental. If it was full blown at level 1 you'd be unable to play the game due to damage costs occurred in learning to drive your cars with the new physics :p

There be no rewind feature or automatic braking in GT5!

You know what I find funny in Photomode? If you are in a standard car, you only zoom in only so much to the car, or the camera will tell you to go back furthur lol. Oh.. PD.. you should've just remodeled those cars.

Does anyone have a good resource online of just the best overall approach to things?

For example I am going through be A-Spec Beginner races still, and I am now at a point I need certain cars for certain events. So I am wondering if I need to purchase them, or go do some license tests to get the cars, etc.

For the first time in a long time I actually looked up an official strategy guide, was going to pick one up from Amazon with the credit I received for purchasing GT5 from them, but I do not see any official guide that is released for everything. The only thing out there is some track guide, which is not what I need.

I've found the best way to quickly earn money and level up (if that's what you want to do) is run the special events. You get a LOT more XP and cash for those, than starting in the A spec beginner championships.

You can buy any car that has those kind of requirements. Say if it's an FR challenge, just go through your list (if you have any FR cars) and if you don't, you can buy one at the Dealership or at the used car lot. So far license test didn't get me any cars.. only the A-Spec races do.

Sorry for the double post, just had to make a couple of points:

- I just finished the World Championship in the professional series. Haven't finished a lot of the lower ones yet but I like to mix it up a bit. The weird thing is after completing that you get shown the ending credits... Considering I've probably not even scratched the surface in terms of % completion, it seems a bit weird to me!

- Possible spoiler:

I got the Bugatti Veyron for completing the world championship. It's not even a Premium car!

wtf is with that?!

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
    • "...will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update...". Three names that all refer to Windows Update. Does the author even understand what he is writing about?
    • and somehow windows is the only one with issue every patch tuesday is a mess, android macosx have all that and it never had issues locking people out of their own data.
