How long before I can do that? I mean after they idiot(s) quit spinning after every turn and can go faster without being looked over?

My driver's always been that way until recently. He's back to normal for now, though. Is your dude's personality hot, average or cold? Mine's average, so maybe that's why?

For those of you who are stuck and beginning to grind for money...

Quoting this so no one misses it.

A drivers first race is usually a mess. I would go to a race that give you a lot of XP/money but has weak competition and after one race he should be level 3 or 4. Once you pass level 1 the drivers stop driving like tools.

[alms24sebring]

ok cool. I was like I am really not trying to be babysitting this guy for 15 levels. My guy is pretty much righ in the middle. I will do that then, thanks

Was just about to post this. I can't wait until $1,000,000 Bugatti Veyron gets the "Premium" car status..... ... .. .

[biggie]

Sorry I couldn't join the room last night. Over an hour for a bspec race is hurting these days.

Still trying to save up for the Formula car.

[Mad Hatter]

hmm sounds like a piss-me-off-er later in the game.

Is there really an adavantage in Bspec like alot of money and/or good cars? I so do not wanna do Bspec mode.

You dont get any more $ for the races if thats what you're getting at. Technically since you have to do an extra 2 laps on average you make less $. You do win cars that you can only win in B-spec and they get better the farther u make it. Like others have said, you can race B-spec while doing something else.

My $ maker is the European Cup in Extreme Series on A-spec. Just doing 5 laps on the Rome Circuit gets you 83,000cr. Takes me just over 5min

Oh and has anyone else had any luck getting into actual online races? Everytime i get pulled into a lobby its just people crashing into eachother driving backwards on track in an eternal 1 lap race

[biggie]

Have to know which lobby/room you are going into. That way you know the host and he'll boot any retards.

[ProudNissanFreak]

Anything not labelled "Free run" is an actual race.

[Mad Hatter]

Thanks for the help! Seems like the online lobby making could use some restructuring.

[ProudNissanFreak]

Yeah, it could, but I'm sure it'll come soon enough with a patch. I'll add you tonight and we'll hit up some online races.

[biggie]

I hadn't noticed before, but anyone tried the HKS PS3 controller? I like the idea for those of use that can't afford a $300 steering wheel.

[alms24sebring]

^dam thats pretty tight and its only $50, DO WANT! I was talking to my buddy over psn while playing Black Ops and his roommate comes in with a 'thrustmaster' controller. I lol'd... Nothing special though.

[ProudNissanFreak]

PD says Merry X-Mas and a big "f*** you", shuts down online servers from 24th til the 1st.





...j/k


PD says Merry X-Mas, gives us 3 free Chromeline cars:

[takethewall]

I was gonna say... That's gonna cut in to my GT Academy winning time.

[ProudNissanFreak]

Soooo, who's got a car I can borrow for Like the Wind? I'll loan you my Enzo in the time being until I finish it, then we can trade back.

[RCA]

I'm with you bromontana...


From what I hear you can use a heavily modified ZR-1 for some races and a tuned Veron for the other.

[ProudNissanFreak]

I've tried my Veyron, and it's fully tuned, too, but to no avail. I'm level 22 now, so I'm just spamming the 5-lap Rome race for 83K cr. Should have a Zonda tomorrow, hopefully

[alms24sebring]

God BSpec is pissin me off. How can I get fast cars when the races require something stupid ex. Vitz race or lightweight (beginner), with stupid tires. I had have a mugen civic that I used for the FF race and he crashed on the last lap of course, and I cant get 1st anywhere.

Im almost done with professional and lvl 18, 2 away from unlocking extreme. I thought the Veyron was the answer. I would think a maxd out Veyron would be faster than a 250mph car. Try gear ratios ???

Side note: What is the best ferrarri to buy besides an F1 car? I want something that sticks to the road well and has good speed but I dont wanna spend 500k and find that it sucks. I already did that to the Lambo 640 LP whatever (the one with the wing). It slides f***.

I MUST remember the 3 free cars 12/24. I think I got it down. thanks for the post

[biggie]

You can still make your car faster than the rest. Pretty easy, just takes money.

I already have the Merci and M3, but need to get that Jag.

Best Ferrari for the money is the 458 Italia.

I'll be play most of the day today, if anyone is playing online message me on PS3.

[alms24sebring]

sweet. Need that ferarri cup to finish Pro mode but dont wanna invest in an Enzo. Then off to expert and extreme.

Based on this post, it seems like you're buying the Zonda R...


Don't buy it, you will win it. You need to get your B-Spec on though.

B-Spec Professional - GT World Championship reward Zonda R 09'

[ProudNissanFreak]

I was planning on buying it, currently sitting at 2 mil creds. Thanks for letting me know, my B-Spec dude's almost ready for that race

[alms24sebring]

I think I saw that you can win it in Aspec as well in that link, but I currently dont recall where and cant find it right now.

B-Spec Professional
GT World Championship: Pagani Zonda R '09 (P)

A-Spec Professional
GT World Championship: Bugatti Veyron 16.4 ‘09 (S)

[alms24sebring]

I must be trippin. I sware it said that you could win it in some other race. Owell, guess Im buyin it cuz I cant get anywhere in bspec

[ProudNissanFreak]

What's your driver's personality alms? My main is in the middle, and he does fine with everything. I just got the Zonda from beating the B-Spec thing.

PROTIP for the GT World Championship B-Spec.

Do NOT get rid of the Mazda Furai. Instead, when the time comes, purchase the level 3 ECU and turbo upgrade and medium racing tires. That's ALL you need to do. Just sick you B-Spec driver to race, you don't ever have to tell him a single command. It's like he becomes a completely different person and wins everything easily.

[alms24sebring]

Ive been doing bspec alot today. I am lvl 8 I think and personality is right in the middle, but doesnt seem to go down at all. He doesnt seem to be an asstard anymore (thank jebus), the races just take a while but Im almost done with beginner. I was just having trouble with the FF and 2 other races where he kept spinning.

I dont think I have the Mazda Furia. You win it in bspec?

[RCA]

Yeah, B-Spec Mazda Miata race.

The Furia also helps in the Extreme Series - Japanese GT series.

I don't have to do anything and the Furia eats up GT R35 GTRs and GT NSXs.


EDIT:
I meant Furai
