Finally finished! :sleep: Got in 211 laps, and finished 10 laps ahead of the next guy. The prize money was terrible, but I'm up to level 27 now, so got another endurance race unlocked, which I'll be attempting tomorrow. Just checked it, and it's 90 laps around Laguna Seca, but you're allowed to use any car you want, so I'm gonna take the Minolta Toyota 88C-V Race Car '89 out there; should be done in an hour and a half. :p

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.

Work great, came 2nd on my first go (Y)

Decided to hop on and play, has been over a week if not longer, was hoping to get a wheel (still am) but just sick of waiting for it. So can anyone possibly log on right now and let me borrow either a pick up truck for the Pick Up Truck Challenge in the Amateur series or a Mazda Roadstar, also in the Am series? I will be on for the next 30 minutes or so, and just trying to finish up all the Am races, those are the only 2 I have left, and yeah, trying to save some money is all.

Also, are there any good sites/resources up yet that show walkthroughs, well really the best cars to use and buy, for each event?

I can send you my done up roadster?

Do the new seasonal events, they give you lots of money.

I sent him a message asking which car he wanted 20 minutes ago, since I was sitting next to my PS3 I figured I would get on and send something, but he hasn't replied to me, maybe he doesn't want my cars, lol.

I've also noticed this game doesn't pause when at the XMB or if your controller disconnects/turns off, I was in the middle of a race and had to restart because the battery went and the race continued and the car just carried on past a corner and smack into a wall.

The seasonal events have really helped me. I kind of hit a wall, where I needed experience points and cash to get to level 23 to buy a car competetive enough for the All Stars race on Expert and Like The Wind on Extreme.

I had been using B Spec to grind through for the cash and bonus cars, but it just wasn't getting there and tbh I was getting a little ****ed off. I tried a few different cars and spent money on tuning, but it just wasn't working out. Thanks to the seasonal events I've levelled-up and bought a Gillete Vertigo Race Car for about 2 million from the new online dealership thingy. Just took it for a spin on Trial Mountain in the All Stars race and it's a winner, so I'll have a go at completing that later. I had to tweak the aero, suspension and gears, but this car is also good enough to win Like The Wind (got the Minolta Toyota now as well.)

So, a break through!

I still need something to compete in the Historic race on Expert. Anybody got any suggestions?

Sorry, forgot to add my PSN ID: MGS3_Grayfox

I'm not at the PS3 right now but you can add me, might just give you a really nice car to start you off as i'm getting a lot of duplicate cars from my B-Spec mode that i already bought.

Sent you a pm on the PS3 Larry.

Sorry man, I had played for like a half an hour, then walked away, and left my PS3 on the entire time. I am just seeing this all now this morning. Your cars are fine by me, I will take them. tongue.gif

And AB, I will take your roadstar, sure. (Y)

What is funny is I wound up finding the season events on my own without even seeing this thread until now, decided to enter the Ford GT one I think it is, and i wasted SO SO much money trying to get this car capable of winning. That is when I left off, I still did not win, I had to purchase a 5 speed transmission I can switch, then switch the top speed, and I gave up there.

Yeah just to follow up with everyone who sent me messages last night that I did not see, pretty much once I put my PS3 on for the night, it stays on until it Auto shuts off, as I also use it for my main media server, etc., so I really only played about 20 more minutes after posting, then watched some Robot Chicken Star Wars, then turned my TV on and the PS3 stayed on, so was not ignoring anyone, just did not know. I will take anyone's car who is nice enough to offer, do not worry about that. laugh.gif

I use a fully modded '70 Challenger, with race modifications. Golded both events :)

Seriously? :o I'm about to try it with that, but I'm highly doubtful I'll win with it, because even though it's only about 20 BHP down on the Toyota 7, it's also double the weight!

OK, I can't do it. I can get to 2nd easily, but that Toyota 7 is in a league of its own. The only way I can get to 1st is to bash it out on the first corner then work back up to the rest of the pack. :p

I've RM'ed the Challenger, and installed every upgrade possible. I've also got the transmission set to 199 MPH, and I've got max ride height, and full downforce on the rear, but it still sucks in the corners. What did you do to it?

Maxed it completely, with racing mods (No settings changed, stock fully adjustable suspension). All driver aids off apart from ABS (1). You need to get to 1st on the first corner, then just hold your place. It helps if you cut the last corner on Deep Forest, but isn't needed. I managed it on a sixaxis, you should have no problem with a wheel :p

EDIT: Just remembered I decreased downforce on the front a bit to make it turn a bit better.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
