Good call. I didn't know how to spell it so I looked at alms24sebring's spelling.

[BusyBadger]

Do the have the Lambo in GT5? I've only briefly read about the Furia but knew a lot about the Furai so the typo jumped out at me. The one thing I clearly remember about the Furia was someone saying"The Furia is to the Gallardo what the Reventon is to the Murcielago."

[asoomal]

Anyone got J.Bieber driver?

Can't seem to find it.

[alms24sebring]

cool I am going to do the miata race then next time im on.

^ lol. My name is A.Horn. I kind of just picked one but I wish there was another word at the end of that name to make it funny. I saw another good one today but cant remember.

Never heard of either whatever.. The Mazda Lamborghini is what I need

Nope, but a dude on GT5 got C. Norris. Lucky bastard lol.

RCA, I bought a Super GT car for the Jap series for A-Spec, but I'll be sicking the Furai in B-spec.

The Furia is in the game as a standard, but it's a pretty good car overall. I ended up selling mine as I was cash-strapped and didn't want to grind, but I'll have to get one back. I don't remember which series I won it from though.

Patch 1.05, it's a biggie

Increase in money won until the end of Jan 2011. So, spam as many races as you can. I'm doing one that usually rewards 83K, but am now getting 99k!

Also, racing online now gets you monies and exp forever.

[biggie]

Beat Like the Wind Aspec the other night:
Zonda R for Indy (barely)
Vette ZR1 with RM for Daytona (by 3 seconds)

Beat the Dream Car Championship last night on BSpec. The Minolta seems to be the fastest car.

Trying to figure out how to get the Formula GT or save up money for it.

[takethewall]

Anyone here doing the GT Academy?

Only way is to buy it apparently. You could go search on GTPlanet to see if someone will loan it to you. Cost is about 4.9 mil, so start grinding :P

Saw that today, but I haven't tried it yet. I'll do it, but my times will suck with a controller.

[asoomal]

This game is really starting to piss me off.

Apparently my stock S13 outhandles a ZR1 with soft slicks?

Understeers like no tomorrow.

WTF

So much anger.

[RCA]

Turn off all aids.

Race with both cars and then come back with how you feel about the two.

[asoomal]

I never drive with aids :P

It just likes to understeer at around 40 km/h around corners.

Yep downlaoded it today. sweeeeeet.

[alms24sebring]

btw bspec is reeaally pissin my a$$ off still. Driver still oversteers and still floors it while doing so making him do a 180. I tried beating the miata race today for like an hr for the Furia, but I keep spinning out around corners, coming in 12th everytime.

[biggie]

^Have to make sure your driver has leveled up to what races you are running. That and give him a faster car than the competition.

Beat the GT All Stars (expert) on Aspec last night. Not too easy, even with a 1040hp Minolta. Nurburgring is insane.

I'm at $3M, another $2M to go to buy the Formula car.

Buy the $25,000 '07 Mazda and spend $150,000, you should be fine.

What is your PSN, I'll lend you mine that I used to rip up the Miata series.

That's in the expert series, isn't it? I've only completed the first race in Sarthe with my Veyron. Rest of it I just can't do.

Yeah, GT All Stars is next to last series in Expert. Have to have a race car from winning Like the Wind in Extreme.

The good news is that each race in GT All Stars is over $50k and $250k for winning the championship. So over $500k total.

Or you could mod a Skyline, take it to the new "Seasonal Events", race Special Stage Route 5 and have a chance to win $1,000,000 in 5 laps...



Small side note:


V I C T O R Y ! I finally got it!

[ProudNissanFreak]

Nice! Lemme borrow when you're done please?

[RCA]

Will do.

Also I plan on making a list of cars I want to lone for things like B-Spec.
Cars for B-Spec can get really pricey and so I am level 25 B-Spec and have a lot of cars that are race specific that I won't be using any more.

Stay tuned for that, I will probably be posting it in my signature.

Which seasonal event?
Edit: oh the national one, no chance in hell I beat all those super geeks out there that have a wheel and spend 22 hrs a day playing.

And did you buy the formula or win it somehow?
And can you modify it at all? Or is it going to be the same hp as all the rest in those races?

Yes the seasonal event. No you're not facing the best times people have put up. I am a miserable GT5 driver and I managed to place 4th in a ~490HP (R34) Skyline.
I won a butt load of EX and $400,000 in one attempt of a 5 lap race. Trust me, you could try all 6 new races from the "Bonus Race No. 1", get 4th in all of them (not hard to do) and make over a million credits net (after you spend money on modifying/purchasing cars).

Trust me. I spent $150,000 on a new R34 and mods in hope to get first, and still made $250,000 in 5 laps.

I bought the Forumla GT in the new "Online Dealership" for ~4.8 million credits.

[biggie]

I'll probably try some of the season events tonight then.

Still have a lot of Aspec series in Extreme to get to work on as well. Will be a busy 4 day weekend on GT5.

NICO GT5 Car Loans

Rules:

• I want to keep the spread sheet in the NICO family so don't post the link publicly.

• Editing privileges will be given to few who know how to manage a spread sheet. Any one who wants editing privileges PM me.

• Each person will loan cars at there own risk. Creating, setting ground rules and car requesting should be done using NICO PMs or PSN PMs.

Notes:
Why did I posted the cars by race?

• Not only that, but I posted cars that are capable of winning in B-Spec as well. This way those who plan on attempting the races get a general figure of what kind of machine is necessary to win in B-Spec; If the car can win in B-Spec then it can easily win in A-Spec. Also, if they can't loan the car they know what it takes to compete in the races.

Keep the thread clean guys.

[ProudNissanFreak]

For the Tuned Championship, my Lambo SV/Zonda will clean it up. I can loan either one.

[alms24sebring]

I dont know maybe I should lvl up more for the Miata race since I think I am = to the requirements.
