Gt5 Is Ready

[Ten Four]

basically, chumps.

its basic psychological marketing.

target market = young boyracers/gamers/import car enthusiasts. all these types know HKS, and know HKS = awesome.

therefore slap the HKS name on a product = instant mass appeal to said market = mass sales.

you comprehend yes?

and has anyone won the final nascar race at daytona in a-spec? i get pit maneuvered and spun around every time lol. on the odd occasion i do get out in front, i lose too much speed on the corners because i cant keep the car steady with the standard controller and just get owned anyway lol

Nah, too hard lol. I just settled with winning the championship.

The B-Spec one is hard

The B-Spec one is hard

really? the b-spec was easy i thought. set the downforce to full front and rear, and when your driver gets to the front, he'll walk away from the pack on the corners. they'll catch up a bit on the straights but you keep pulling away on the corners and eventually you create a good lead

been watching a few vids of the X1 in action

omfg- that thing is made from 100% solid-gold win: 33sec lap of Tsukuba, 38sec lap of Grand Valley Speedway(!)

gets up to 390km/h like it's running in a vacuum. more mental than a big mental thing

nah i'm still only on about level 20. i don't play it that much though, only a few hours on the weekend. my B-sepc is up to level 7 (one driver at level 5, the other at level 3 or 4)

[barraspalding]

lvl 18... havn/'t touched bspec, probably wont for a while

[sh@un]

I'm all about the B-spec as of last night. I'm hooked now- can sit there with a controller in one hand and a drink in the other and make good progress. Also lets you do other shtuff while the A.I guy grinds along for you.

Nearly at Lev.25 on A-spec, but I doubt I'll touch the wheel again until I get the X1 on B-spec.

[sh@un]

P.s Marc- I flipped the 300SL at the Merc Nur'ing training once, and I've flipped my Mac F1 and Veyron once apiece (not counting all the times I've let the Bugatti run into the tyrewall at 420+ at the end of Mulsanne straight during high-speed Le Mans free practice runs)

[Tangles]

the a-spec nascar race wasnt that hard, get to the front and keep them behind (use rearview to check positions)

flipped a few time trying tho. best flip, and win, was with my lime green R35 GTR with red TE37's

up to level 27 aspec and 14 bspec, 80odd% of the game completed, time to go indy racing today!

waiting for the formula gt car to come up for sale was a pain....

can earn 98k on daytona for a 3.45min 5lap american muscle race, do 5 races then check the for sales.

buying up all the rally and race spec cars atm but looking for a usa 2JU 70's race car, havent seen one in the classifieds yet

best car Ive got would be the Nissan R89C, the formula GT car is too cart-like, got to 'mild' down the turning settings to get comfortable with it

[Spurdo]

my lime green R35 GTR with red TE37's

i think i just threw up in my mouth a little. is this a xmas theme thing?

spent most of my money last night on the toyota gt-one ts020. favourite le mans car ever.

level 23 a-spec, i find b-spec a bit boring.

flipped veyron after flying down the le mans track no chicanes and straight into the tyre wall.

also is it just me, but i cant control that f**k!ng nascar apart from the oval tracks, some tips pleazzzz????

having fun with the lp670 SV, cool car however its not that quick so i spent around 600k on a ZR1 with Racing Modification, a its a beast of a car. won me like the wind, all stars against all those le mans cars etc.

after that u win the minota and thats amazingly quick (about 6-7 seconds quicker than the R35,Veyron, LP670 and ZR1 around tsukuba) so yeh still addicted to the game.

We should make a new thread for our quickest lap times

[Spurdo]

use full downforce, dont open the throttle up at low speeds until your pointing straight. if you have to, use 1 or 2 notches of traction control. i managed without

[barraspalding]

traction control is evil...

[Spurdo]

yea. every time you use traction control, a ninja chops a kitten's head off.

[DivHunter]

But ninjas are awesome so you should probably use it all the time.

[mad082]

QFT, lol

i use traction control on some cars because you simply have to with a controller since you have limited throttle control (can't stand using the thumbstick).

thats 98k all 5 races combined, 17.3k per race (lame).

or you can earn 48,600 per race in the indianapolis race in the nascar series which takes 4.30 mins to complete. i think i'll go for the latter

[Spurdo]

ok just realised like the wind indianapolis is 70k prize money for around 3:30 in a car capable of winning it. go toyota gt-one

[boiracer]

still only lvl 18 no b spec yet.....freaking old lambo is doing my head in......as is the computer drivers....yes i am next to you....no plz dont just drive me off the road as tho im not there......i dont get it, Prologue had epic AI drivers.....what happened?

[boiracer]

haha... fkn hippies always park up on the side of highways, smoking dope and laughing at purple elephants sliding around corners...

lol
