My driver may just be a d!ck, but this is a bad strategy in my experience.

For my driver i actually have to watch over bspec. If I just let him run his little hot - cool bar will go all the way to hot and he will drive like garbage.

I keep him a tick or two down from full red, only let him drive in the red in desperate situation, and only then for a few corners at a time.

Then again I am like bspec lvl 4, so its probably best to ignore me. At higher levels it may be different, but at this point this strategy made an enormousness difference in his lap times.

Rich, I didn't get a Chrome chip from you; I got the S. Vettel car instead. Returned it to you this morning.

im lvl 3 and this is sometimes true for me, my guy will just start drifting every corner when he is leading and he'll spin out

RCA did I give you the right color black? How are you thinking you can get copies of the color? I had a Matte Black and added yours to my chip list but when I went to my paint list to return it, I had a Matte Black and a Matt Black. Then I went to 'Aquired by date' and gave you Matt Black in return because it was the newest one.

Speaking of paint list, when I was looking at it, I had atleast 3 plain 'Black' colors but in seperate lines. Like there wasnt 1 Black and said I had 3 of them. It was the same for other colors too. Whats up with that??

IDK if you gave me the right one. I didn't check, I just added it.

I am making copies by saving my game file to a thumb drive, sending matte blacks(MB), loading up my saved game file from the thumb drive and boom, I was able to send 5 MBs and I still have my 5 MBs. I have two extra accounts that allow me to save and send so I now have all the MBs I want.

Not sure who I sent it to but if any one has the "Chrome Silver" paint, can you send it to me so I can make copies?

I like using that paint on my wheels.

Believe I used the Merci Chrome Line Edition for those.

I finally got to level 35 on Bspec, so got the X2010. Currently the PS3 is sitting at home running the first 24hr race, will be done at 5 today when I get home. But you have to go from level 35 to 40 to get the Nurburg 24hr race open.

We will get GT5 mobile for B-Spec in February. You can start B-spec races and stuff apparently from your phone/computer.

Yeah BTW a full 24hr race on lvl 35 will only get you to 65% of lvl 35. To get to 40 you would need to do ~20 24hr races. I stopped grinding in B-Spec because that is BS.

How does one duplicate X2010/S. Vettel cars? Seems like that's been all the craze over at GTP, but nobody really says how?

Yeah, or the 1000km Suzuka might make more sense, you can finish it in 4hr with the X2010. 350k exp points.

Dam RCA you are a sneaky little s*** haha. PNF thats probly how others are duplicating X1 cars. btw I did not recieve chrome silver, just MB

Yeah I dont know how your supposed to get to level 40 on Bspec. I can understand Aspec with the seasonal events and all but dam. That 1000 car garage trophy in BS too. Thanks for the hint biggie. Im grinding like hell to lvl up in Bspec enough for endurance races, but its taking a long while. Im lvl 18 in Expert.

Bspec isn't too bad until you get to the Endurance races. Just give them a faster car than the rest of the field. If you have the Formula GT that'll work well for most.

Replace "Matte Blacks" with "Vettel car" and "5" with "a"

You sent it back when I asked you for paint. It was a gift from me to you because of your awesomeness when my data went retarded. I am sending a friend of mine a car today, so I will try to send you a X1 tommorow :yesnod

If any one has any really rare cars or those that cost 20million send me a copy :gapteeth:
