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

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 :)

haha nice, yeah it'll get the job done

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

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

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
