official Gran Turismo 5

I'm level 20, can I drive it? I'll take it if I can. I just RM'd a ZR1 and it seems to have potential but it may be a handful.

I'm actually not sure, I won it from "like the wind" which is a level 21 race, and I could use it right after, so if you can't you're for sure close to being able to use it. So I will send it anyway tomorrow

I don't understand, the alternative to two feet is heel-toe? I don't understand why you wouldn't use 2 feet?

In real racing the driver is contending with three pedals. As he approaches a turn he will be hitting the brakes at the same time pushing in the clutch to downshift. Where the heel toe comes in is that the driver will want to blip the throttle with the outside of his right foot while braking to rev match when down shifting. It is technique to maintain momentum through the turn. If yon do not rev match the car will surge and slow you down and drop the motor out of the power band. Purists in race sims like to do this. Since my DFGT only has two pedals it is a non issue and I use two feet.

You can buy any of the NASCARs at the dealerships. There's Ford, Toyota, I think there's a Dodge one, and a Chevrolet one as well, and they're all 500,000 CR each.

Personally, I think the Toyota Camry one is the best of the lot, as it seems to have the most power, with the same weight as the others.

Ah, thanks for the tip. I was sure I'd looked in the dealers, but sure enough, there they were! Unfortunately, you need to be level 21 to buy them. I'm level 17, and I don't think I'll be 21 by the time the event goes away again! :no:

Today, I got my International S License! I did the final one on SS5 the first time, but test 9 at Circuit de la Sarthe... argh! That took me at least ten attempts, and I was always caught out at the turn at the very end of the long straight with the two kinks in it. Either I'd brake too late, at the wrong point and spin out, crash into something, something would crash into me... sigh!

Ah well, I have it now! :D

I actually purchased a nascar for one of the seasons events, but I noticed the hp was a like 15 below the competition and what I was allowed to have so I stupidly did an oil change and now its way above and can't use it for the seasonal event lol... guess I'm going to have to wait for the oil to go bad.

@hellacool: I sent the car about 10 minutes ago, enjoy! Send it back whenever you finish

[Hellacool]

I can lend you a car that will kick the **** out of the all-stars if you'd like haha!

edit: it's the '89 Minolta Toyota race car - right now it is clocked in at 1040hp @850kg

PS: don't worry about scratching it up a bit, I already got repair bills of 500k each for the engine/chassis haha

Got the car, the thing is insane, brakes like crazy, little touchy on the accelerator, gotta keep from spinning. Managed a bronze, got wiped out on Nurberg and DNF so lost all those points. Will race it again to get gold and return it. I also used it for the "Like the Wind" so now I have one of my own so I will send this back shortly. Thanks Again.

No problem! Did you remember to change the tires? I think they were last on sports tires, not racing because I was using it for b-spec!

Yep, changed them to soft rave and adjusted the tranny. I was kicking major butt but got spun by the cheatin AI :)

[Fish]

Sooooo..... Online. It's a bit rubbish, isn't it?:rolleyes:

haha nice, yeah it'll get the job done

Yeah... wouldn't know... I tried to get on once or twice but it never worked... so i gave up and just play single player now. Although I remember from Prologue I needed to open some ports on my router to actually get through... it was most stable when I was plugged directly into the modem, I haven't bothered to try with the full game yet tho

Ok where I buy a pick up truck? I can't find one anywhere.

I think they're in the user car dealership. There's quite a few there. I won the series with a giant Dodge one, but if you find the Chevrolet SSR, go with that one, as it's the smallest pickup truck in the game, and as Killa Aaron has shown me, you can loony tune it up to stupid levels. :p

Picked up the signature edition from Game for ?44.98, ouch @ anyone who paid ?120 :p

Selling my standard copy, so no playing it, I'll have to wait for the sig edition to arrive.

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

Anyone else with the sig edition, worth keeping the stealth cars or pawn them on ebay for some quick bucks?

[Hellacool]

If you need one let me know. I can gift on as long as you gift it back.

KoL there is a truck in the online dealership.

Apparently the next update is going to bring us a speed up function for B-Spec races, also bring the track Pikes Peak from GT2.

[Aaron Olive]

Just bought an expensive drift car

Also my SLR, 722 sort of. :p

id keep the stealth cars for your self, and you got a bargin there lol. no way would i have paied the full price, its not worth it.

but if you are going to sell the DLC code ebay have some sellers already, asking way to much for them.

[KoL Veteran]

I'm going to keep checking the dealers. Thanks everyone.

@Hellacool: If I don't find one I'll let you know. Yeah I'll gift it back to you.

[remus_lupin]

Does anyone have a Formula Gran Turismo car I can borrow? I'd buy my own, but I am not yet level 24... so if I could possibly get it ASAP I'd appreciate it, if not I'll probably have my own by tomorrow
