official Gran Turismo 5

[MightyJordan]

Damn, sorry if I got anyone's hopes up. It looks like you can't drive your friends' shared cars; it looks like the sharing is only there to show off. :(

Back to the begging then. Does anyone have a Formula Gran Turismo they could lend me for the championship?

As for the Historic Racing Car Cup, I forgot there's a way to get a good car for free to compete in it: Take It to the Track. You need a Facebook account to play it, BTW.

All you've got to do is play either game currently available, then at the end, create a grudge with a random recent person that shows up, then choose a few of your friends as well (it won't count as a created grudge unless they have the app on their profile, but if none of your friends have it, just play the game four times and pick a random person each time).

Create 3 grudges, and you'll get a GT race suit for your PlayStation Home character.

Create 4 grudges, and you'll get the Jaguar XJ13 Race Car (Chrome Line as well)! :D

OH F**K!!! The plan's backfired!

The XJ13 they give you isn't eligible to race, because there's no year on it! :(

[MightyJordan]

OK, would anyone be willing to trade my Chrome Line XJ13 Race Car for a standard XJ13 Race Car? The one with the year, that is. It should say "Jaguar XJ13 Race Car '66".

I can borrow you a GTR AB if you need...it's not stock though.

Tried one of the seasonal events lastnight, the fiat 500 one. Managed to grab first on the firs track after a few attempts. Really loving it as its a great challenge, since you are restricted to BHP amount.

One thing that does disappoint me with GT5 is you can simply crackup the power and outpace 90% of the races.

Wish they had a class system similar to Forza 3.

Hey guys, my brother and I are trying to figure out how to get the Top Gear track and the Nurburgring in Time Attack or 2 player so we can just pick a car and send them round.

Neither are in our track lists. Do we have to do something to unlock them?

The Top Gear Test Track is unlocked when you get a gold in the first Top Gear event racing the VW Samba Bus iirc.

For the full Nurburgring course you have to get at least bronze in all of the AMG Intermediate events, which I think is unlocked at A-Spec level 11.

Just picked this game up last night along with the Logitech wheel for it.... just amazing! I just need to find a more sturdy item to attach the wheel to. Is there a way to upload pictures you take from the game to anything?

There is an option to export them to the XMB, then you can use the PS3 photo app to upload them to Picasa, or copy them to a USB pen drive and upload them through your PC.

Ok, I did that, just wasn't sure if there was a more streamlined process. Cool though.

What is up with the car sharing? Is that just to look at them in the museum, or are you able to use them, then have to return them?

To send a car to someone/receive, it's done as a gift. You can send 1 car per day. This is permanent, to get the car back the receiver would need to gift it back to you.

Sharing the cars allows people to browse them online but it's only to look at them. Basically you'd share your favourite cars in your online gallery.

Ah ok cool. This is actually the first GT game I've played, ever. But with a wheel, big screen set up, and close sitting, it is pretty intense and fun.

Just drive the car with those settings. Use your head. I was riding the GT's ass on lap 4 but got a little aggressive in my excitement and took the final turn a bit wide. A bit of throttle control on the straightaway should get you to 165-166. Throttle control on the turns with these settings should allow you to accelerate while hugging the corners.

Tweaking all those settings makes you feel like a man \m/ :p

However just managed 4th only first time, time to try again without being as careless.

I don't know when I'm going to get the time to put into this before the New Year so looks like I may well miss out on the stuff XP and cash. Boxing Day - 5th Jan I will be in Cyprus.

You can get a pickup in the online dealership I believe.

Hey AB, thanks very much for posting that GT-R setup! I managed to win the race easily after a few attempts. :)

Have you got the setups for the RX-7 and the Challenger races? Those are the only ones I've got left to do.

It's new for the update :p It contains some of the harder to get cars you may need. Unlike the used car dealership inventory which refreshes the online dealership is set by PD and doesn't change until they want it to.

It's in the new update, so it'll be there when it's installed for you. ;)
