Tried to send you a Countach I won as a prize, but I can only send one car to a friend per day. Lame. I'll see if I can adjust the clock so it thinks it's some other day.

you can also try using lower grip tires. I would not try to do it from idle though, use the handbrake and rev the engine to max release and then put on the brakes a fraction of a second later.abuC said:Did that, then again Im using a controller, so that might be part of the problem. Also, very strange is that the Challenger doesn't seem to have a lot of power off idle, even though the way it's set up it's a torque monster.

Changing your time zone to match somewhere where it's tomorrow probably works.Tarazet said:Click Share again.
No dice with the date/time change. I have to wait 3 hours before I can give away another car to anyone.

Haven't done it myself, but keeping this bookmarked just in case.I NEED SCISSORS said:The key is not using the brake too much. Let the car just roll around some corners. You can also get away with rubbing up the sides of your opponents. I think the AI can be disqualified - once I got rear-ended really hard, and when I looked back they just stopped.
Green = feather your throttle rather than just pure braking.
Blue = can be done at top speed, even cut a little if skilled enough.
Numbers = place you should be at this point to win.
Chicago - rub against opponent through here.
Hammerhead - brake exactly along the red driving line into first turn, as you will still outbreak the opponents! In the second part of the hammerhead, try to rub against one more opponent and secure 5th.
Follow-through - try to slide through this if you can. If you can't it doesn't really matter.
Bacharach - arguably the toughest turn due to poor visibility. Use your brakes as intended here and maybe try to rub one more out.
Good ass tip - use the roof cam as it creates a tighter, more in control feeling.

I had TONS of trouble with this last night, then I realized I was not using all of the assists and I beat it with a Gold in 3 tries today.
Here's the settings I used:
TCS - 5
ASM - On (this setting won't save, so you have to turn it on while racing at the beginning of each restart)
ABS - 10
F Brakes - 10
R Brakes - 10
Skid Recovery Force - ON < THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. This single feature is what I had OFF yesterday, and I couldn't get better than 4th. I turned it on, and instantly noticed a difference.
I hate using assists, but it's necessary for this one...

TheSeks said:Thanks. This is almost cheating how it's blowing the pants off the AI. :lol
Do you want it back? I mean you gifted me a ticket. :lol I did put some upgrades on it to make sure it blew the pants off the AI.
Tarazet said:I got the car for free and did nothing to it, you put the dollars in it.. as far as I'm concerned it's yours.
Now, if you had a Ferrari to trade, I need one to do the Ferrari race in Professional.

Especially when you've been posting a consistent time, but consistently a 1/10th off the gold time. Then you put together a drive that just feels different, that you know is good (no ghost in sight, little understeer, minimal braking), and then it's recorded as some variation of a 1/1000th off.SUPARSTARX said:missing Gold marks on license tests by like 0.008 seconds is pretty rage inducing
Proof if proof were needed that reviews can only influence gamers purchasing decisions a little. Because 1.8 million people have already bought Gran Turismo 5, making it one of the biggest opening week sellers on the PS3.
Its not as though the reviews of GT5 have been negative, in fact many have been mostly positive. But many were expecting this to be a 10/10 game, whereas its actually scoring around 8 or 9 out of 10. Which isnt good enough for a game that took six years to develop.
However, ******** estimates that Sony sold 1.8 million copies of the game in its first two days on sale. By the end of week one that total is expected to rise to 2.5 million. That would put it on a par with Gran Turismo 4, and be close to the opening weeks enjoyed by Black Ops, Modern Warfare 2, Final Fantasy XIII, and GTA IV.
Gran Turismo 5 was always going to sell in huge numbers, with fans of the series queuing to get the game at the first opportunity. Will the issues raised in the reviews harm sales from here on in? Possibly, but for now no amount of negativity is going to have an impact.

Soon people are going to be saying 7. I watched the inflation from 4 to 5 to 6 happen on this board over the last month.Red Blaster said:How the fuck did the idea that GT5 took 6 years to develop catch on.
Maybe the gap between 4 and 5? Dec 2004 to Nov 2010. It is a fair assessment, even if they were not working on GT5 the whole time. It did take 6 years for the next one to e released.Red Blaster said:How the fuck did the idea that GT5 took 6 years to develop catch on.

Well, you can point to a lot of products that were released between SC and SCII. PD did GTHD and Prologue before PSP, so one assumes they were working in some way on GT5 at those times. GTHD was released Dec 2006, and would have been in development before that. SO if you include HD in the development process for 5, then 5 years is not an extraordinary claim. Regardless, it was a very long time.Lion Heart said:Starcraft II took ten years to make
