Anyone else annoyed with it yet? Absolutely raging trying to di the Loeb wrc chAllenge in the special events bit. Can't so the snow one and took me ages for the eiger stage.
Also I keep having to buy cars, tune , do 2 races in them then I have no money left to progress to the next championship, bit like real life lol!
I'm level 15 nearly 16. Where's everyone else at?
-
Frustrating at times but that's part of the addiction for me.... :xmassmiley:
The Loeb rallying wasn't too bad in the end, but having a mare with the last Jeff Gordon challenge at Daytona. Need to do it so I don't have to spank 500k credits on a new NASCAR. :sad:
Currently nearing the end of level 21, and should do it when I've completed the AMG challenges on the 'Ring.

Have to say im a bit dissapointed in GT5 - Bought the PS3 last week just to play it. i honestly think that Forza 3 is the better drivers game.
Additionally the Top Gear test track - VW Campers WTF???

Turn off abs for nascar you will find it easier to come first :happy2:
Currently level 25 myself :innocent: and unlocked the endurance races... Did a 60 lap race took 2hrs03 and only got 160000 points so not doing that again in a hurry
New fav ride is my vertigo race car - 900bhp and 700 kg on softs is just rapid, but saving up for that gt f1 car available in the on-line garage - 4.9m
Game just gets better and better

I cant do the Snow loeb challenge for love nor money :sad1: :sad1: :sad1: :sad1: :sad1:
On a plus side if you do the seasonal events you can get a good bit of money which helped me out no end!!!
-
Your not joking with the seasonal events! Just got over 100k for 5 laps round Madrid! And then more for a fiat 500 round Tsukuba! Just done the final of the karts. Back to the snow challenge now! It's so hard, is it easier with a controller? I'm on a wheel :driver:
-
Those Seasonal events are ace. All except the Mazda RX-7 394bhp Tsukuba one.
I can't complete that for love nor money. I have bought and tuned 4 diff RX-7 and cannot get past 7th :sad1:
I've done the other 9 races in Bonus 1 and Bonus 2 and made quite a tidy sum. Currently I'm level 19 which aint bad considering I only got it as an :xmaspresent:
-
Yea im stuck on that RX7 one aswell.
Im on a wheel too, watched a few videos on GT planet, think the trick is not to go to side ways. Quickest ive done is 4:20:203 :fighting: :fighting: :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:
-
I'm struggling with some of the classic car races as i can't seem to find any cars to buy.
I must say the seasonal races are good as im now on level 20 with plenty of money.
-
On the old GT there were a couple of easy races you coul do to earn a car that was worth big money? Any on GT5 and how do you reset your trophy count on a particular race?
-
still getting to grips with the whole ps3 thing only on lev9 with a nice Evo that my son keeps spending credits on getting the wheels painted.
why cant you get brake upgrades in the tuning shop?
-
Yeah 100% needs brake upgrades :confused: why it's not on it
-
ive had mine 5 days now and im on level 15, i find the rally challenges the hardest. iv got another week off work yet though :driver:
iv been trying/getting silver and the odd gold in special events, so please dont tell me you guys have been getting all gold.
-
I think its a great game, but how do you get a Truck to compete in one of the races? Dodge Ram or similar?

i bought one in the used car section mate(ford f-150), then spent a few points tuning it so i could win :signLOL:

Ive golded most of them, but it does take ages. Ive also been going back to gold all the licences, but that is damn hard. I enjoy the rally stuff. All gold on them so far first time with the last lvl 20 snow and tarmac to do. Make sure you turn traction control all the way off or the car just bogs.
Im almost on level 21 in A spec and 7 in B spec, but B spec is so boring.

finally saved up enough cash (4.9m) last night to purchase the formula gt car... :driver: it is so fast, when you first drive it it feels like someone is pressing the fast forward button
now on level 27 - looking forward to level 30 as you then un-lock another special event - Red Bull challenge - if you gold all of them then you get the redbull X1 :drool:

If you bronze the Vettel challenge then you get an X1, silver then you get two, gold and you get three inc the carbon version. If you get to level 35 in B spec then you also get an X1. People are saying that you cant even get bronze of you use the controller and you have to use a wheel. I just dont have anywhere for a wheel and pedals!

Turn off abs for nascar you will find it easier to come first :happy2:
Worked a treat, thanks. Now trying to master a NASCAR on 'proper' circuits with the Dualshock!!
After saving up credits for what seems like years, I got impatient the other night and bought a 2nd hand XJ220 race car as I thought it would be massively tuneable and I would breeze the level 20 & 21 sportscar events - big mistake & 2 million credits wasted.... :ashamed:
-
On level 17 in a spec got a rather tastey 880bhp r35 gtr :drool: did hit a bit of a brick wall with it the other week but got back into it however its been sidelined due the purchase of fifa 11 :notworthy: :signLOL:

I was stumped until i found that out :wink:
Give the nascar seasonal event a bash i think its bonus 1 last race, its too laps around the ring in a nascar.. You will need abs back on for this i used traction control 5 too and swap your tyres for some medium or soft - worth it though as you get 1mil, same tip goes for nascar challenge on the twisty tracks :happy2:
