Gt5 Is Ready

[mad082]

the most expensive car i have is a 427 corba.

i'm guessing you are using the share cars function, giving the car to a second account you have, not saving the first one (so you don't lose the car) and then giving the car back to your first account?

i don't really see the point. i had close to a million dollars without doing a single race in A-spec or B-spec, just the special events.

How are people going with the drift events? I find it pretty damn hard! Anything with a decent amount of power in it I keep spinning out or coming off the track. I try to power oversteer to gain control but can't get decent enough speed. So instead I try to use the hand brake a bit but it's to hard to keep it on the track. Any tips for what people are doing?

I found the drifting in this so much esier that prologue. i can keep a drift going round the whole of tsukuba including the back straight. that is in a shelby corba with 450hp or so and stock tyres.

Does any one want a F1 2010?

PM-R33 - i used a maxed out r33 full throttle and a little brake, havent made it all around cause people keep hitting me or i spin out but it can be done

ok so im well into the extreme events now. i have to say.. does anyone else feel like theres a huge chunk of this game missing?? like theres no machine test (400m, 1000m, top speed??) or even a test track for that matter like every other GT had. where are the endurance races??

is there another section that opens up after you finish the extreme stuff or what??

or is this stuff still to come via DLC or something??

Yeah i'm feeling the same, big part of the game missing, i'm already at 50% and it's way too easy. From what i have read there ARE endurance races, they must open up once we finish extreme. They also forked up by not putting in a drag strip, i mean... how easy is it to do?

ha! i think i just found the droids i was looking for..

Overview: In Gran Turismo 5, you can an Endurance Races, after conquering the Extreme stage and getting the specific level.

http://tutorial.downloadatoz.com/gran-turismo-5-endurance-races-track-locations-list.html

the endurance races start at level 25. what is a pain in the ass though is there isn't enough races at each level to see you through to the next level, i.e you have to keep doing the same races over and over to level up and unlock the next ones. thats getting old real fast.

[mad082]

i don't think they bothered with the drag strip, etc since you can easily make one in the track creator.

as for the game seeming small, yeah i thought the same, however a lot of stuff gets unlocked as you go. apparently when you reach level 30 the sebastian vettel redbull challenge gets unlocked. the endurance races don't start to get unlocked until level 25. races include:

300 Kilometers at Grand Valley (Level 25)

4 Hour Roadster (Level 26)

200 Miles at Laguna Seca (Level 27)

500 Miles at Indianapolis (Level 28)

1000 Kilometers at Suzuka (Level 30)

4 Hours at Nurburgring (Level 32)

9 Hours at Tsukuba (Level 33)

24 Hours at Le Mans (Level 35)

24 Hours at Nurburgring (Level 40)

EDIT: damn, beaten to it

ok this sounds bad but i've been over an hour late for work every day since GT5 came out. i've just had lunch and im thinking of leaving again soon so i can get back to it. is this normal?

I tried making one but couldn't get one long straight road, the best i got was a triangle with 3 straightish roads lol. Also not starting next to each other etc is gay.. usually just go that no chicanes track with mates and just call out a time to go on the timer for roll ons or dragging

last night i spent 1 1/2 hours on the f**king lotus challenge. finally got gold.

ive completed the karts, top gear challenges, begginer, ametuear and professional series.

a couple of things ive struggled with are the lambo night challenge (probs 2 hours worth and the best i can acheive is about 1 sec of the lead which i got about 6 or 7 times and they seemed like flawless runs??)

also the gravel track on the seb loeb challenge is hard best i can get is about 4 seconds off bronze and i was at that for a while.

morea tip but what would be a good car for the GT rally becasue u need a car under 245hp and most cars u cant fit dirt/ snow tyres on so what car should i get.

any tips????

I bought a new Lancia Delta for the GT rally and it was fantastic!

been thinking about buying the logitech g27, with a WRC playseat, http://playseat.com/shop/media/catalog/product/cache/5/image/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/w/r/wrc-seat-logitech-g27.png

anyone have this done?

and can tell me how much it all cost them, also how real will it feel playing GT5 with a setup like that?

G27 rocks, and the play seat looks good...if you can justify paying that much for a frame. im not a big fan of the bar between the legs design of it tho.

good to hear the enduro's are there.

i dont mind honing my skills by repeating races to get there. just means more money and more cars i can buy. thats always been what i do in GT games. i had more than 500 cars in GT4 (not just alot of the same car in differnet colors)

got my 270R already, R34 GTR pace car, and a datto bluebird/1600 rally car. lotsa fun.......still waiting anxiously every day for my 400R

[barraspalding]

+1 agreed, the G27 is fkn fantastic. Had a play with a mates driving force GT setup on the weekend... my G27 felt like a $1,000+ setup in comparison... its far superior in quality and feel.
