LIke I said I went with the Nascar in the B-spec one. But I'd recommend something over 750hp and you'll want to play with brakes and downforce.

Even with the Nascar in the 3rd race my driver was sideways a lot coming out of the sharp turns and finished 6th in that one. I only one 3 of the 5, with a 2nd place in the last race, but still won overall. Had to go back in after I got the Zonda R and it was easy to win the other 2 after that.

The code should be on your reciept from GameStop. You go the main screen of the PS3, PS Network Icon, and then Account Management, and Redeem Codes. Enter the code (is case sensitive), then it will ask if you want to download the cars, you download both and they will be in your garage when you open the game.

Yes, but it's a standard.

For those with a fat PS3, be careful, because a lot of people are ending up with the Yellow Light of Death w/ GT5.

I hope Sony/PD does something about this, if it's possible...

I heard that was one of the issues to be addressed in GT6.

Hey, takethewall, I added you on another PSN account (GTP_Drog), set my b-day as today and got a free car (DB9). Going to gift it to you when you're online so you can gift it to my main account (Oblivious).

Was hoping for a nicer supercar, but hopefully the DB9 can do that job for me. I needed a Brit car for some races anyways :D

That GameStop preorder cars would have helped. The McLaren F1 fills many voids.

Go to Gamestop and ask for another code, they can print off extras.

Ah, nevermind man. Turns out you can send it from one account to another even if the other is offline. Thanks anyways. I'll be using that acct for GTP races.

BRILLIANT!

Can't you just gift it to your main account?

Yes, you can. It didn't show up at first because I didn't restart the system, and my main didn't show up on the friends list when I tried to transfer in game. SO, if you do make multi-accounts, make sure you restart the system before attempting to gift yourself.

Set an account for tomorrow, birth year is 2009. Hoping for a GTR or Lambo :D

I'm trying to unlock all the Kyoto photo locations. No idea how yet, but I have all the Italian ones from the Grand Tour or w/e in Special Events.

Got a 100 race ticket today (or after 200km of driving), and won a Lotus V8. Bought a Scuderia and going for an NSX tomorrow.

I was debating between that and the Scuderia, but I really like the aggressive look of the Scu, so I bought that instead. I'll check out the 458 next time ;)

And alms, my PSN is ObliviousSeeker and takethewall's is GTP_takethewall :D
