I took multiple attempts to get the RM ZR1 to win the indy Like the Wind event....thought GAF pulled a joke on me since I was getting killed by the other cars.
Soft Race tires, drop rear down force as far as you can, raise the front up about 10 (I forget the numbers), add some camber to front and rear, stiffen the suspension....
I went from only being able to get around the turns at about 170mph to maintaining 190+ which allows you to stay far enough ahead that those monsters don't quite pass you on the straights.
Now, I just need to learn to drive better to win the daytona road course one...also, I need to figure out a good setup.
Here is a tip for those with kids needing a good base for the wheel and dont have a good table. The trip trap chair for children is perfect for mounting the wheel on. Just take off the safety band (if its on) and put the wheel on the top shelf. Then take out or put the lower shelf on the bottom and put the gas/break/clutch-base on the other side and put you feet through it. Use a regular tablechair to sitt on.
Don't know how well known these chairs are so here is a picture:

It really sucks that you need B-Spec for that competition. If I'd have bought the SE, I've have been spitting feathers.Manticore said:Hey guys, what's the best race to level up B-Spec driver? need it for Signature Edition competition
You would have thought it would be based on actual driving skill.

Wow the ZR-1 with RM and all the upgrades is a MONSTER, it took Like the Wind and ripped it to pieces, awesome! Used it for the Laguna Seca "All America" event too, a good solid win there.
With my new shiny Toyota Minolta, is that good to go for the GT All Stars? It looks like it should.

Okay, I've decided what the next GT5 update needs; the ability to set and lock the time of day and weather for time change and weather enabled tracks in Arcade/Practice mode.
It's really frustrating when you want to drive the Ring at night and in the rain, but the game decides it's going to be sunny and in the morning.

Awesome. I also need to get my hands on a touring car for the Extreme Touring Car event. I saw that that super juicy Lexus Concept can be used, but as there is no spec I am not sure it would be as quick as the others in the field. It's a lovely looking car, so might buy it anyway, it certainly looks quick!
Anyone used said Lexus? Or should I hunt down the Audi or BMW? I think they are in the GT Online Dealer.
Yeah, but that's just (some) course maker tracks though. I meant for the Ring, Sarthe, etc.TheSeks said:
If you want to race the Ring at night in the rain for example, you have to wait for the game to decide that it's going to be those conditions. It needs an option so you can set it never to stop raining or go into sunlight. (or indeed vice versa)

At least with B-Spec more people have a chance to winoffshore said:
If it was based on actual racing, i think that only a handful of people would have a chance of winning. I think that a raffle would be the most fair thing (i actually thought that it was going to be a raffle when i first heard about the competition).

I used it, works great. I probably tuned it up a bit first.
Nothing like giving a level 9 driver a Formula GT to use in the extreme Japanese supercar event...telling him to pace down and walking away while he easily wins a 30 lap race....in the rain no less
lol
Nice that I can just not worry about it, but also just a glaring flaw with the point of B-Spec

Bronze in the Vettel challenges should have been at least 10s slower.
Yeah. While I could simply use a similar car to keep them close and make it interesting, it just goes to show that their progression model is based on nothing.TheSeks said:
If you're going to have a long leveling process (a or b spec), they should of at least tried to make it more interesting. I really don't know what the fix would be myself, but they clearly didn't have much vision for it either.
In the end, I'm just grinding through it to fill my completionist needs, so once I'm done I'll just continue loving the driving and get more into online play. But yea..

the point of b-spec is getting to a level high enough where you can just walk away and let driver bob do his thing. the micro management is necessary to get to that point, once you get above level 30 to the endurance races, monitoring bob isnt necessary.

I can do Monza, but Nurburgring g/p is a fucking bastard. I dont have the reflexes to do it on a pad, the car is too touchy, even with aids on. I havnt even bothered with Suzuka, everyone says it's harder than the ring, so I assume it's a nightmare.Goldrusher said:

that's the downforce bug giving you crazy ff
it pushes the wheels through the track:
they need to update their bridgestone texture too :sick
A few of us over in the Super GT league are going to be racing tonight at 9pm GMT. If anyone wants some fun races tonight let me know, I'll be setting a room up.
You don't need Super GT cars, I don't mind using road cars or any others. Got any ideas for types of races you want to do let me know.

So you're saying the point is to turn the game on and then not do anything? Riveting!theignoramus said:
See my point?
I like the visuals and all, but there isn't much enjoyment to be had considering it's part of the games completion percent. So if you care about that, you gotta do it (at least you earn credits and cars), but wouldn't you rather be playing the game yourself?
I really don't want to come off as if I don't like the game because I absolutely love it. I was just trying to say that B-Spec is fairly silly as is. Could of used some sprucing up to make it more intriguing. I just thought there would be more for me to do as a team owner. That's it.

not, it's to turn the game on, then do something else like sleep, go out, or bang your wife.brentech said:
:lolbrentech said:
You are not wrong, making B-spec mandatory is shocking. B-spec is complete madness. There is a reason why racing management games don't seem to sell because such a tiny minority enjoy them. Kaz was on some serious crack when he did this. B-spec should be as it was in GT4, an alternative method of completing the game. Not a mandatory mode. My guys are just doing the Super GT series now, 50mins per race, very little xp and credits. 50mins of doing absolutely nothing.

Where is this X1 you guys always talk about? What dealership is it in?
I tried going for the gold on IC-10... yeah.. fuck that. I'm happy with my silver.
In fact, a lot of the challenges in IC are difficult. I can't gold the 1000m stopping test, the Indianapolis Speedway double S corner, the Deep Forest one and the Charmonix one. Only silver here.

Most people use a LMP, Group C car or the ZR-1 RM.Gloomfire said:
Have you already got the Zonda R? Try it out to see if you're able to get first place in the events. There are some tunes on the GTP forum to help provide better grip with the car too. The Zonda R is a difficult car to drive I feel
