Oh and I also saw my first Formula GT at the lot. 4.8 million. I was about 2 million short. :\

and hong kong, which is in English...
does it have race controls, or just photos etc? And can you see everything or only things you're sharing?
edit: Hmm, just shows basic profile and shared photos. Don't know about cars as I'm not sharing things.
edit2: nothing seems to change with GT5 running. Probably needs a software patch to get the game to 'talk' to the gt.com backend, current stuff is all profile based which is on their servers already

B-Spec Professional Series, GT Cup?
What car did you use? I am wondering if the same 750hp Ferrari 458 that I used in A-Spec for that would be good enough? Or I could get B-Spec to use the Veyron

Why? One of my favorite things to do in the game is check the used lot every couple of races to see what new cars have popped up. It's exciting!

I don't think so, B-Spec is a different mode, how would this work?
Well, it might have been that my dude was under-leveled, but I had to revert to my Minolta Toyota after having some troubles with my ZR1 RM. Better to be safe than sorry!KennyLinder said:B-Spec Professional Series, GT Cup?

The furai works wonders, as with any other race it qualifies for up to that point (it kinda feels like cheating).KennyLinder said:

I saw a Furai in the used car lot for 2.5 million. I felt kind of stupid for trading mine for a Gallardo. :lol

Oooh I won a Furai the other night in B-Spec. Came in "Gran Turismo White"
What are your gear ratios? I think I had top speed at 400 km/h. If your on Daytona - keep your foot glued to the floor and never let up or touch the breaks. If your on Indianapolis - do a lift off 100 meters before the first and third corners then 100 % throttle again through the corners. No breaks at all.expy said:
Also - remember to turn ASM off! ASM slows your car down significantly in the corners and you don't want that.
Alright, since we're talking about B-spec grinding to level 30... Let's figure out a way to consistently get B-spec to win the American Championship event at Indi. It's very short and pays almost 100k a win in A-spec. I'm still a few levels away so I don't really have a way to test it right now. I have a possible contender though, the Caddy Cien. Puts out close to 950hp and is agile enough... for A-spec. Anyone try this, or some up with a different solution?

All you need is active steering. Other than the karting stuff, it's the easiest special event to get all golds on. I wasn't even shooting for it. As soon as I found out that I needed a nascar, I spent about a half hour getting golds where I settled for silvers before. It's a breeze.

Probably more than the other B-spec races, I'm guessing. It's the last non-championship thing available. Did you use the Cien? I'll be buying an ACR anyway, want to know how that thing handles. That should probably be good enough as well, but with B-spec you never really know.

Yeah it looks kinda goofy, but it is faaaaaaaast.weekend_warrior said:
B-spec couldn't win in the Cien, for me anyway. Best car available is the a-spec reward for the very last extreme event (TTG said:

Can this be the first step in better web-integration of the PSN? Just like the the jump-in's ?

?If you're talking about the beginners event I recommend a 4WD car. I started rally in my Golf and had a really bad time with it. Then I bought the Lancia (Premium) and upgraded it. Suddenly rally was really fun and I had no problem getting golds.marc^o^ said:
You can either use the same Lancia for Intermediate or make sure you get all golds on the Sebastian Loeb challenge which gets you the Citroën rally car then go back to Gran Turismo Rally.

I wouldn't bother. its only about 45k credits in b-spec, and the xp is only slightly more than the euro championship.
American championship Indy is doable with a nicely tuned ZR1 - camber rear about 3.5, front about 3; max springs on rear, tiny bit less than max on front; front downforce max, rear downforce 5 clicks away from max; transmission boosted so you get around 216-220 at the end of a straight. Needed a bit of management to get to the front, but then he pulled a gap from the rest of the pack. I think you'd at least need to keep him in the middle of cool/hot otherwise the pack would catch up.
European championship pays nearly as much xp and I think similar credits, but is an event the Zonda R can do with its eyes closed. Leave your driver alone and even fully cool he'll have lapped half the field. Just tune out and flick back every 25 minutes to restart the race.

Just go to http://www.gran-turismo.com/hk/ (english), for now. Top right corner, the orange icon.darkwing said:
I have my road map to B-spec grinding then, thanks for your help. The red bull challenge is the only interesting thing I have left to look forward to with the single player, that and buying up all the cars I want. Mclaren and Enzo turned out to be excellent, now I'll go after some of the lower priced supercars. The baby Mclaren, Ford GT and f430 challenge are next.
