Thanks man, I'll give it another shot.

I changed my spring rate to 10.5/11 cause it kept on bouncing on the Circuit de La Sarthe and my dampeners were set much firmer than the setup you posted.

Takes way too long to get to the next race in Endurance section. On Bspec I'm at level 31, but have to get to 32 before next race. That basically requires running the 1000km of Suzuka Circuit 5-6 times, each time is 5.5 hrs dry or 7.5 hrs in rain. Insane.

I've only done the GV Endurance race on Aspec, 60 laps, little over 2 hrs, and that was insane enough.

ugh. Screw that. I am not looking forward to that. It might be easier on Bspec bc I can just let the game play all day. Its not till like lvl 38 anyways. Biggie, check that link that was posted about experience, I think I saw a fast way for the 'gap' around lvl 30.

Another thing, I did the Grand Valley endurance race and only got like $160,000. Suck my balls. The longer ones better give me more than that.

I also finally got the F1 car. It is sick fast but kinda sucks at slow 1st and 2nd gear turns with spinning and all. I will do the F1 champ race when I get on. Can you save in the middle of a series like GT4?? I forgot to check.

From what noticed, you can not save in the middle of a series. This sucks especially during the F1 series because each race is like 30 laps and there are ~6 different races. Not cool.

Have you tried quiting the game in the middle and see if it comes back?

I'm still not good enough on the F1 to have to worry about it and did the Dream Car on a weekend. The GV 60 lap Endro I had to pause and take a couple breaks.

Did some online racing today. Got in a group of 16 for drifting on Autumn Ring Reverse. Soooo much fun! I'm getting much better at drifting as well. My car of choice is the 512BB, works very well.

No cheat necessary.

The Toyota 7 Race Car '70 is the Like The Wind prize car for B-Spec.

I hit lvl 33 in Bspec yesterday, ran the 9hr race. Now the 2 24hr races to go.

The X1 was still way to hard to drive in the special events.

Tell me about it...

This car is impossible. I just crashed my way through the Nurburgring Nordschleife in ~5:20 and the record lap time is ~6:11...

Remember how crazy the F1 car was the first few times you used it...

Now that I am used to the F1, I am getting that feeling all over again with the X1.
You go into a turn with a speed you feel comfortable with and to throw the joystick to the right...
Then the car slams into the wall of the Apex of the turn. You say to yourself "it shouldn't turn that well". I went back into the Toyota 7 Race Car to finish the History Racing Cup and I couldn't drive it at all, I'm too used to driving the X1 now.

I won't be on much these days. 7 classes and a 20 hr/wk internship takes up all my time. Will try for weekends, but even then it's unlikely.

Crazy how life can fu*k up your gaming schedule. I will probably share the same fate, not as busy as you but I am probably worse at juggling my time.
