I wasn't breaking 1:18 either. I was losing a lot of time on the last two turns, so I just kept pushing those last few turns and making sure I was entering the tunnel right at 50s or bust. Can't remember my setup but I'm pretty sure all assists we're off when I eventually did it but I did tinker with them during the 4 or so hours trying to gold it. One of the toughest golds for me.Psychotext said:

Yep, after giving up on the shelby I realized I had a Countach. Still a tough race but much easier with the Lamborghini.conman said:

Alright I got it. I guess bitching makes me win, lol. So at the very least, the karting events are golded. And what do I get for all my trouble? A fucking paint ticket. Yay. :|

Really, the Karting events give people trouble? It's so easy. Rally and AMG driving school are the challenges.
can anyone help me with my driving force gt? got it used, and have tried both in gt5p and gt5. the FFB, steering, pedals, and shift knob work fine. i feel like a noob.
however, i cannot get any of the buttons to work. the giant gt button lights up and it calibrates. the gt button seems to be the only button to work, and it brings up the ps menu, and presses x and sometimes the RA menu all at the same time.
it seems it is fighting my dualshock 3 or its hosed. because i can use the horn, reverse (cant reverse on wheel cause no buttons work!), wipers, while driving with the wheel with the ds3 by my side. but since the buttons dont work on the wheel, i cant drive without both. button functions are all on ds3, and driving is all on wheel.
wtf is going on! ive tried restarting the ps3 with nothing but the wheel. it calibrates, but dpad or nothing works out of game or in game. this happens with or without the ds3 on. i cant soley start the game with the wheel because i only have peddle functions to press start, etc, no left/right functions or x.
suggestions? or a procedure to end all that i am not a noob and its hosed.
thanks!

I'm on the last karting special event, at the mini ring. I suck. And I'm fucking pissed.
- Fuck this GT tradition of putting you at the fucking end of the starting grid without even a qualifying lap or something.
- Fuck the AI driver on the first place who drives perfectly and gets away with a troll face while the rest of the assholes bump into me, slowing me down.
- And FUCK the fact that it is only me who is sent spinning with the slightest touch while the other racers keep their driving lines to fucking perfection.
Yea I felt like that for some reason after my first few tries and gave up. I came back the next morning and beat it in my second try....

Comon, it's not like it is as easy as Mario Kart. One wrong move and the slow acceleration kills all your progress.
You get the satisfaction that you beat itSteelAttack said:
I found the first karting events simple but fun, but the final one is difficult. Watched the AI in a replay and they are full throttle almost everywhere except two corners. Not sure I can keep it that steady, esp. with a controller
Special events will be the meat of my GT for a while, after i'm done with b-spec mode. I know the AMG events will almost be a full games worth in terms of time taken - I just can't do the nurburgring at speed, and in the rain...
i managed with a ds3 on karts. only braked two corners as you said. the first hairpin after the start of the race. and the last right turn before all the twisties leading to the finish.mrklaw said:You get the satisfaction that you beat it

Yesterday I had real fucking love/hate session (I still love you GT5). I was busting my balls trying to gold the Seb Loeb rally challenge for his car (fuck you Eiger) so after a bunch of attempts I rage exited.
Only way I could feel better was to spend a ton of money on a ZR-1 and Race Modding it (which I like but the 458 Italia drives better imo). I used this to do the last event I have in A-Spec Pro, the Muscle Car Event. I get my level 17 card for finishing Pro and what do I get:
Suzuki SX4 WRC '08. I can't tell if GT5 felt sorry for me or trolled me.
Anyway, can the Ferrari 330 P4 race car compete in the Expert Historic Cup when fully tuned, don't want to waste the money tuning it if it can't, spend enough on the ZR-1.

I don't think it can. I tried with an untuned 330 P4 and got destroyed. I doubt tuning will make that much of a difference.

Given how long it's taking to go from 33 to 34... lots.dwebo said:
Edit - Oh... wait, no... It's a trick question isn't it! You can't do the 24 hour race until level 40 so it takes zero 24 hour races to hit level 40. \o/

Your PS3 will probably die by then if it's a 60 GB :lol

I've got a fan pointing at my PS3 now. It's been on for five solid days and I almost dare not turn it off. When I do I'll be letting it cool down gradually rather than just switching it off.Crakatak187 said:Your PS3 will probably die by then if it's a 60 GB :lol

That's a great idea. The room I'm currently playing in is cold as hell and PS3 hardly heats up at the moment, but I still don't want it to run for 24 hours. Maybe if I had a slim I would.

thought the first 24hr race (le mans) opens up at level 35.
I'm stopping at 35 anyway(almost 31) . Don't see any point in going to 40 in b-spec, unless you get a blowjob ticket.
