you can win this championship with a fully tuned ferrari 512
cote d'azur is easy because the ai is awful, deep forest is a bit more challenging, but if you can keep the toyota 7 behind you on the main straight you will win the race no problem.

All i´m doing right now is Ford GT LM Spec II > american championship > indy 5 lap race > do this five times > go to used lot, buy a bunch of cars, repeat everything.
It´s giving me about 50 cars each day.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
None of those are in the premium shop. Look for Opel Touring Car, BMW M3 GTR, Alfa Romeo 155, etc, in the used car lot. Also, have 700K+ credits ready.Hanmik said:
A maxed out Countach with a spoiler does the job with some skill at Deep Forest, and with ease at Cote D'Azure.
As others have pointed out - American Championship @ extreme, first challenge earns money pretty fast.

I'm out of the loop. Are we getting these at regular intervals now?
Fuck, I'd love a chrome chip or two. Dupe the hell out of those things, blind the hell out of everyone with my chrome McLaren F1.h3ro said:Anyone have a Chrome paint chip they want to trade me?
I have a good collection of Matte paints and a couple of chameleon TVR colors. PM me if you'd like to work something out.

I must have tried to access in the middle of the update. I just got a screen with no cars.
Really hope they keep up this seasonal release schedule. It's a great way for people that don't want to dive into the endurance races to get some prime XP. I've done 5 of the 9 endurance so far (figure to complete them all at SOME point), but even with that the XP for a single seasonal is like a present each week.
Still really wondering and hoping Kaz will release some info as to what else is included in the February patch. GT Anywhere doesn't really fix any issues as far as I'm concerned -- still holds up your PS3.
Holding out hope that one day long replays will actually be accessible by a FF or RWD button.

Multi-screen (3 parallel screens for 174-degree field) was never actually shown with GT5. Of all possible "upgrades" of GT5, multi-screen would be #1 on my personal list. Unlinkely to hapen though, although all tech and soft is pretty much there..
2K-rez was tech-demonstration.
Naar said:
No, to be honest GT5 was never shown in triple-screen configuration.
Also, same goes for Prologue if I remember well. No kind of official presentation was ever showcased with multiscreen.
Strange, because multiscreen (and not just with 3, but with 6+ screens) was part of both GT3 (2001) and GT4 (2004) games and was working flawlessly.
In GT3 it was supported through iLink (Firewire) ports and was a bit complicated to set-up backthen (firewire hubs and cables were pretty pricey), it supported up to 8 consoles in multi-screen where you could use 6 to display all views (3 screens for front view, 3 screens for backside left/right and rear-view) of the cameras and extra 2 as real-time replay screens.
In GT4 it was made through normal LAN (CAT) connection, enabling up to 6 screens to be connected.
I still can't understand why the option was removed from Prologue/GT5. Only thing that comes to my mind is the need to reprogram the view-degrees for cockpits because default left-right views and actual point-of-views were not made to fit multiscreen properly.

HAHA (insert one of the missing smileys)... yesterday I was asking in here for the German touring cars, Only one is available in the dealership, the lexus.. so I bought it yesterday, because I hate waiting for the right car in the used dealership. And fucking 3 hours later they all are in the online dealership.. is Kaz watching my progress..? ;o) but Ok I completed the German Touring car championship with ease yesterday in my Lexus. So I have that car ready for the seasonals today.. as far as I can see it is even the same track as in the Championship that is in the seasonals..
So now I only need to complete the historical and Formula. Then it´s on to watching the LIST of endurance races, and never playing them.. no way in hell I can get more than 3 hours playtime on my PS3 in one day, life´s to busy for that...
By the way thanks for the tips yesterday. Will try the countach in the historical tonight, I have the car just need to tune it a little.. I really hope the new seasonals give me enough money to buy the Formula GT.. only car left for me to buy, that is required for a race.. the rest will be bought because of my OCD for collecting stuff.
Ohh had a fun little Nascar race on Highspeed-ring last week..
the AI spun me out inthe first corner...
the bumper got scratched and I got a big dent.. in the first corner..
but off course I got my act together and started cruising..
in the middle of the second lap I was leading, and they never saw me again..
Finally put in a decent first lap time on Suzuka, 1.09 dead. That seems to be the bare minimum for getting a bronze. Hopefully I'll be able to string something decent together eventually and I'm not taking the first turn on the flying lap well enough to hold a 2 second gap, I don't think. Finish this off by the end of the week and then I'm done with the Red Bull stuff. Absolute torture with a controller.
blu said:Heh, the new selection of cars in the dealership is exactly what I've been looking for for the past two days
Me too
I've been collecting DTM cars, two days ago I bought the Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5 16 Evolution II Touring Car and all I was missing was the Opel Astra and the sweet Alfa. So unless I missed something, I should have all the DTM cars now.ashk said:Me too
I'm just missing the Merc 190 - have all the others I wanted - but it's not in the online dealership.

Shit yeah! Going to buy all of those DTM cars. Have been hunting for them for weeks. I bought all of the JGTC cars from last weeks dealership. So nice to have the online dealership and seasonal events refreshed like this. Can't wait to get home tonight.

I tried to win American Championship Laguna Seca B-Spec with proper tactics and couldn't get past the GT40 and 2J. Got bored of chasing them and started to just pressing increase pace. I turn around 5 minutes later and I am 10 seconds in the lead
seriously, wtf.
seriously, wtf.

Sometimes the AI will be forced to make a mistake and run wide and that's the only way to pass.
Beckenbauer was in 3rd on one race and I kept pressing increase pace so he was on the tail of the guy in second who was on the tail of first. So the guy in second tried to overtake first, fishtailed, speared the guy and first and Beckenbauer passed them on the inside to take 1st.

You most definitely should have. That's what I didTheSeks said:NO! MY SEXY LIME GREEN FURAI!
DAMN YOU KAZ! DAMN YOU!
(Should've bought it since I had the money instead of being stingy and waiting while giving cars out to people. :/ BAWWW. ;___
Well, that certainly was fun.

Sports Air.
Sports Manifold
Sports Headers

Custom Transmission set to 112 MPH.
Son of a bitch gets up to 90, last corner BRAKE.
"Oh, shit..." (CAR THROWN NEARLY OFF TRACK GOING THREE WHEELS UP)
:lol :lol :lol
That was heart pounding, but I won. Crazy car.
The only reason I didn't was:
1) 1.5 million for a car I already have.
2) That car I already have (for free, mind you) was tuned for Like the Wind Indy.
It'd just be sitting in the garage collecting dust except when I want to oh and ah over it.
(You should totally dupe me the paint so I can paint my red Furai that green.)
