Playstation 3 New GT5 thread

Just unlocked the X1 challenge, daaaaaaaaamn that's hard.

 

Indeed it is! I have bronzed the first two tracks but cannot for the life of me get anywhere near the bronze time on Suzuka (on the odd time I can actually get round two laps)! I have given up and will instead buy the car at level 40 in about ten years!!

On another note - do you win any credits/XP for doing the drift/time trials Seasonal Events? I can't drfit to save my life so I am not bothered about that, but I have set some useful time-trial times (in the top 5,000 anyway with the cars I have got).

I am enjpying the seasonal events - there should be more of them (races at least).

 

woot, just destroyed NASCAR and DTM B-Spec.

now to grind coin for the Formula GT :/

 

I wish there were seasonal events for B-spec

 

I tried the Deep Forest Time Trial Seasonal Update yesterday. I modded a Mercedes 190 E 2.5 Evo and it has perfect specs for the event. The maximum weight is 1100kg (my car weighs 1115kg) and the maximum power is 345 hp (my car produces 343 hp).

I tried everything I could but I just can't drive the damn thing with those tires. The car is so tail happy I could swear I'm driving on ice and no, the problem is not me. I may not be a great driver but there is no way anyone could tame that thing. I messed with the traction control but it's no good. Either I spin out all the time or I can't go anywhere because the traction control won't let me


Very frustrating.

Also a big waste of 150 000$ of modifications

 

It's all about suspension settings, I'm sure you can dial out the oversteer with a bit of a suspension tweak.

 

increase rear downforce and lower the rear ride hight, reduce the toe in to 5 and increase the camber to 3.0

try that.

 

You can soften the rear or stiffen the front to make it more controllable.

 

Oh nice, thanks! I was looking on ebay but nothing really jumped out at me. That seems like a decent deal. Thanks a lot!

 

will do

thanks

 

was playing online today with a fully tuned up m3 csl. played in a german/french car room on the ring and the host changed the time to 9.20. racing an amg merc on the ring in the dark in an m3, awsome. some great touches that you kind of gloss over during the day, the sparks coming from a car you're chasing and the dirt being thrown up and not being able to see was great

 

im in two minds on doing another BT race night, possibly an endurance in super GT motors, thoughts?

 

I'd be up for it.

Wonder how many times I'll get lapped

 

Yup, i'll be up for another race series.

 

it would probably be a 90 min endurance race, nothing too mental but long enough to work the mind

 

id probably be up for it, depending on the time. have proper broadband now so shouldnt fair as badly

 

i love endurance races, so I'd be up for it.

As long as it isn't too late at night, as my G25 doesn't half make a racket, and my parents wouldn't appreciate it while trying to sleep.

 

it'd most likely be a weekend as i work during regular office hours.

 

crap not around this weekend but ill play the next time

 

Just done the Suzuka race in the Japan GT championship.

It was pissing it down. I couldn't see a thing at the start.
Didn't help that the windscreen wiper on the Castrol Supra wasn't long enough, so the right hand edge of the windscreen was never clear, I could barely see the apexes, luckily I know suzuka pretty well, so managed to get around with only a few minor spins.
