Gran Turismo 5 (Official Thread)

[alms24sebring]

yeah how is a Prius a premium car. What deifines premium and standard? Is standard anything you can buy at a dealer and premium being only won cars and used cars?

I also think its extra stupid that you cant take pictures of standard cars, or buy new wheels for them.

and your link is not working

[ProudNissanFreak]

Premiums are cars that are in the New Dealership, not used. Some Premiums are also attained as prizes, though they can usually be bought for extremely high prices.

Premiums have cockpit views, standards don't. Premiums are also much more detailed than standards, which is why standards can't be used in Photo Locations, because they'll look like s***.

[hitbychance]

sweet, im happy my 350z is a premium, i'll have to wait for the s14 to show up but thanks for the info, much appreciated

[biggie]

Only like $50k on the GV Endurance. And car wasn't special. About a $1M for the Formula Series.

Running the 4 hour Miata race on Bspcec now.

I tried the Formula GT series on Aspec. I'm not that good yet. Did beat the Dream Car Series in Aspec, Ford GT Race Car there.

[RCA]

It's actually pretty awesome hahaha

[alms24sebring]

lol, Biggie you suck at F1.. just kidding. Good, then I can use the Ford GT for the American Chamionship races. 1969 model or 200x model?

RCA.. I'll just take your word for it

I am contemplating whether to buy the F1 car. I am only 100,000 away from having enough but I really need that Mercedes for the German and European races and Ive only seen it once. I know once I spend the money on the F1 it will show up and Ill be broke until its gone again. Meh, F1 shows up regularly.. Ill wait.

[alms24sebring]

Somebody please trade me a Nascar bc mine has 865hp from an oil change and its too much hp for the seasonal Nascar event at Nurburgring. Dont wanna buy another $500,000 car if I dont have to.

Another thing too, Bspec is sooo f***ing stupid. Its like I have to double the hp from other cars or have a racecar to even have a chance at 1st. My guy brakes eeeaaaarly and with only like 30% brake force. wtf man, wtf. He also goes through turns slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

Im hating every second of this

I'll lend you a NASCAR

B-Spec get's better man...
Now my guy flys through Nürburgring in my F1 faster than I can; but until then, yes you will need to give your drivers superior cars.

[alms24sebring]

Thanks for the Nascar homie. I sent you mine in return. I seriously hate Nascar. I chose Montoya because he used to race in F1 (yay!). That race took me a while to beat though. One time I passed for 1st place and spun out a few turns before the finsh and ended up forth place. That really pissed me off.

I hope that Bspec gets better. So wait hang on, you already got back up to lvl 24 after losing all of your info?!?!?! I was ganna ask you about that and how far along you were.

[RCA]

Yeah dude.

I grinded all the way back to the top.
Because I knew how the game plays out, I knew some tricks that I didn't know before and I was lent cars by you guys, I was able to have $10 million before I was level 24. I have the GT F1 and still have ~$6 million in the bank.

[alms24sebring]

I am shocked, mad, but glad for you all at the same time. Sooo, what lvls are you currently? I am lvl 25 in Aspec and I think 11 in Bspec

[biggie]

I'm trying to get bspec to 30 right now. Running the Indy 500 race a couple times today. Big pain that they put 2 levels between some of the enduro races.

Think I'm still at 25 on aspec as well.

[RCA]

Not sure.

Maybe 21 Aspec and 24 Bspec.

As of late I have been addicted to FIFA 11 on PC...

[hitbychance]

Any idea where i can get a 1959-1979 euro car for the euro classic race in the beginners section?, there hasn't been any in the used car dealership for the past week

[ProudNissanFreak]

You can buy the Ferrari 512B '76 from the new car dealership. It's around 250K I believe. I can loan you mine if needed.

[alms24sebring]

I think you can use the lambo Cutach too.

Has anyome completed the historic car race I think in Expert? I saw the Toyota 7 but it costs too much, also what car is recommended.

Also I CANNOT beat the very last Nascar race in Special. I just like bog out through a turn and always end up last or 2nd to last. I do not have a steering wheel...

[ProudNissanFreak]

I haven't done the Historic one. I don't have a car fast enough; all the old race cars are beyond my bank. I've heard a lot of people say the Jaguar race car is best, but that costs 20 mil.

[biggie]

Toyota 7 is what I used for Historic in Expert, you win it in the Like the Wind in Bspec.

I suck horribly in the Formula GT series, almost got lapped in the first race.

[alms24sebring]

great! the toyota 7 is nastiness. ^ lol on Aspec?? Im about half a mil away from buying the F1 myself.

Still.. Bspec is pissin me off to no end. Does anyone have an American racecar I can barrow or know how to win one?? I need the amerian champ in Aspec, and that and regular american race in pro in bspec.

Also if you look at your bspec driver stats, what does the arrow in the top right corner mean? It changes in regular intervals

[RCA]

His form.

If he is blue then he is in best form, green means he is good and orange means he is in bad form.

[ThatGuyRoger]

the Historic Cup is frustrating me right now, I was able to get 1st in Cote d'Azur with the Countach, and im able to beast my way into 3rd before the first turn in Deep forest but after that I cant catch up to the first car. grr

*finally won the historic cup with the Countach

[Red coupe]

I just started messing with B-spec and have done a race or two with evenly matched cars, and I have to say...

Kinda fun. I don't know that I want to do it all the time, but you really have to manage driver to get a win.

[asoomal]

K, I'm done with this game.

Why can't they take the physics from LFS? So much more realistic.

Also, can you make your driver work out or something? I've never seen some one steer so f*** slow, especially when it slides a bit. I'm not talking about B-Spec btw.

Every corner it understeers like a FWD car on ice, at 50 km/h.

Anyone got nice suspension setups for a 860HP ZR1?

Gonna go play some LFS to cool me down.

Edit: Why the f*** are there magnets on the grass?
