Gt5 Is Ready

[boiracer]

and theyre slightly done up, you get 5 of them straight up that you couldnt afford for quite some time otherwise

yeah the UCD is lame like that......still waiting on my 400R. im starting to think it might have to do with which cars you buy?? not sure tho. just an idea...stupid 400R....grrr

[warps]

Does anybody know whether anything happens if you keep driving the car without doing an engine rebuild or oil change, or does it just get slower? My poor minolta is now on its 4th consecutive Le Mans 24 hr race without so much as an oil change. It's lost about 140bhp and is down about 15-20 km/h on the straights, but still winning easily enough. Might have to give it a birthday after this race to spend some excess cash, and keep it winning.

Has anyone else noticed that towards the end of the 24h Le Mans race the other drivers run out of puff and have to change drivers every lap? For the last hour of the race, 4 of the top drivers were pitting on every lap to change drivers. The TDi Audi managed to sneak into second becasue it was able to go 4 laps between driver changes.

Funny stuff

I noticed that certain cars appear in races after you've bought one for yourself. I bought the Art Mooney (or whatever it's called - Ford Fairlane fans will get it) 1960 Corvette for shits and giggles (fun car to drive and pretty quick). After that it appeared in the Nurburgring 4h and Tsubaka 9h races every time. didn't finish any better than 8th, but still there whereas I hadn't seen it before. Makes a nice change from all those bloody Nissans in the races (I counted 9 Nissans in one of the races)

My X1 has over 110,000km on it now, and it's gone from 1557 to a permanent minimum of 1440hp, after oil changes. I once tested the 'no oil change' idea to see how low it would get, and did nearly 12,000 kays- It never goes below 1340.

oh now its just making fun of me.......put me in that exact colour for one of the online B-spec races. straight after i posted my rant....dam you GT...

[Spurdo]

anyone know what the maximum b-spec level is? all my drivers are level 36, 3 of them 37 in about 20 minutes when i finish the le mans 24hr for about the 20th time. should be one more race after this and i'll be level 40 but does the leveling stop there or can you go higher than 40?

[sh@un]

you and the drivers both max at 40. you'll have no xp tally after you complete the race that gets you to 40

[warps]

One of my B spec drivers is at 40, yet my overall B spec is still 39. I should have a B spec of 40 after I finish a couple omore Lemans 24h races (20 min to go on the current one). So doing the Nurburgring 24h won't achieve any more XP then?

My own XP is firmly at 30 at the moment, and I can't see it going any higher for a VERY long time. I've finished all the races except the longer enduros and the stupid FGT races. I only do the seasonal events for a bit of variety.

What happened to all the manufacturer races and other races that were available in GT4? Why do none of the races still have any more than 12 drivers? Lemans 24h race with only 12 cars? Yeh, really believable Mr Polyphony.

your B-spec level will max at 40, but any Bobs in the enduro will keep increasing their level if not already at 40

[Beer Baron]

the seasonal races are good. lots of XP and not bad on the cash vs time equation either.

now, who has a Ferrari F1 car I can borrow for the ferrari challenge? happy to lend my mazda 787B in exchange (it's far too much car for me anyway!!!).

[Beer Baron]

can someone add me to some remote b-spec races? me in desperate of coin only got a measly 2mil at the moment. user name = beerbaron32

thks will return the favour of course as I can.

[mad082]

I can't add you at the moment due to the missus watching tv, but you can add me (psn mad-082) and run a few races with my drivers. I have 1 or 2 with very low levels so your driver should be able to win the race.

[boiracer]

lvl, and winning and loosing is irrelevant from what ive seen, if anything the lowbies get more money and XP just for being amongst the higher lvl drivers. will add you tonight beerbaron.

ive been thinking about buying a Fezza F1 car before the seasonals close...but am unsure if its worth it. anyone know what the prize money is for winning them?? or how hard it is. the Formula GT is the hardest car to drive well (other than the X2010). i guess i just dont wanna buy it just to find out the money is far to little....or realize i cant win in it anyways and totally wasted my money.

is the 787B really that hard to drive? how is it compared to the Minolta? love those things...and def going to buy the 787B soon anyways. its the Formula cars i have troubles with atm....esp with 1 buggered wrist.

my level 20 guy got flogged by your level 30 something guys in a race i hosted yesterday. But the my level 0 guy came in last but only 2 seconds behind the next car. Think there may have been a bit of a crash though.

[boiracer]

yeah the AI...and the speed they drive the cars at is strange and random. certain cars that should be fast just arent when a B spec driver is behind the wheel. My Tommy ZZII for example. i can drive it round quite fast, but my B spec driver is useless at it. 666 performance points and it couldnt win the first enduro....lol
