That damn Vitz/Yaris race, lol.

I did it fine on A-Spec, but my B-Spec driver was have some real trouble getting anywhere during the race, I ended up spending like 80k upgrading parts for the car and he was first within a matter of minutes and stayed there with a rather large gap, maybe I went overboard on the spending. :rofl:

I only looked at B-Spec for a couple of minutes, but is there a way to fast-forward races? If not, I'm just gonna leave it alone.

I haven't seen anything while playing, so I'm pretty sure there is no fast forward button, lol.

Which is good, because I would feel like a right idiot if I had watched all these races so far and never found the FF button. :p

Is damage not unlocked at earlier levels?

Maybe it is in the GT Life mode or whatever it is called, but I know I quite easily crushed part of my car in arcade not long after I started playing.

And I was around level 10 when I nearly destroyed the front part of an expensive car on the Japanese Highway, and it didn't take long to get through the levels, I would assume if it is locked it is just so you don't destroy the cars when beginning out because you do have to repair the frame of cars after crashing them a lot.

You don't start the game in GT mode with vehicle damage unlocked. We've been told once you reach level 20 (we're only at level 11), you'll get access to realistic damage including mechanical problems and then, when you reach level 40, you get access to simulation-level damage where parts can fall off and cars can be completely totaled.

i've been avoiding that special for a while now...

Best just to jump in, make sure you check the driving options, they turn some stuff off which is why it is such a pain in the ass, a little fiddling can make it a whole lot easier than the kick in the balls it was beforehand, lol.

hmmm good idea.. I should do that.. lol. Btw, online--wise.. it's still not as smooth as Forza 3 so far. I was playing with Rapjutwarrior and I see him just glitching everywhere it's terrible. lol.

GT5p was the same way :(

Once you get the hang of it sliding around in the elise is a little bit fun :p

Getting gold in it though.... eh, no.

I can't even get bronze in the damn VW vans :(

I had gold on the VW one and on gambon i thought i'd try and cut it, like they do on the show and it disqualified me. I was annoyed after that, so every other try got worse. It isn't like it is difficult, it is just the AI doesn't get out your way and brakes way to early and for far too long. A lot of corners you can just go through without actually braking.

What I did on the Van.. was go into turns really late as well.. Some turns like Chicago you can get away with to take the inside and make sure you are in the right gear. It does get close to the end, you have to pass the leader at the last turn.
