Doesn't that get you disqualified? Or are you talking about cutting the chicanes in the same way that the example driver does?dwebo said:
I was doing it a good deal more than the example driver IIRC and not getting disqualified. It's definitely less strict about penalties in the chicanes. Either way, it's still easy fractions of a second you can take over the ghost which you can't get on the other two tracks, both of which are much more technically demanding besides.Psychotext said:

Monza is the only one I've been able to do too. I just don't recall cutting the chicanes as such and I'm wondering how much that would help on the road to gold.

Why the fuck does the AI insist on pitting after one lap? I cant leave him afk or else he'll pit and fuckin lose the first few minutes of the race.
WTF Polyphony *smh*

He thinks it's the wrong tyres. If it's raining and you put inters on, and he thinks it should be full wets, he'll pit to change. Only way to stop him is put wets on in the first place. It's stupid because my driver was only a couple of seconds slower on inters and could have managed well for a decent stintfu3lfr3nzy said:

Fifth day searching, still no sign of the Formula GT.
I want to personally congratulate the guy who came up with the 30 used car cycles.
At least i took my time to grind some b-spec while the car doesn´t show up. Finished the 4 hour roadster enduro last night. Dididn´t liked, still think the dream car champioship is better for money and XP grinding.
Found the ´95 Eclipse GT, the 2003 spyder and the Eagle Talon Si. Since i already have the 2006 one, now my Eclipse collection is complete
I hope the patch hits sometime in the weekend. Can´t wait to see if it´s gonna be leaderboards only for GT Academy, or if it´s already Full leaderboards for every track and car.

Really? I beat every event except for 1 by more than 3 seconds over the gold time. I thought the AMG was super easy. Also in Rally if you pick the wrong car, its very hard. To me the only challenges that were truly difficult was the Alfa 8C time trial and the rally time trial in the Euro tour.

No leaderboards for time trials is shocking in its negligence. Even Prologue shipped with leaderboards, didnt it?

I'm trying to race SuperGT B-Spec in Suzuka(weather change). Its nice and sunnny outside(no signs of rain) and I'm equipping him racing soft the first time around.
Should I do hard>soft then?
mrklaw said:tried the X1 challenge with Scarecrow Vettel (whats with his straw hair?). Completely impossible. First time round I crashed in the pit lane at Monza
So b-spec level 35 it is
It's insane, the first lap you're expected to get a fast time, then the next lap you're supposed to get about a minute or less the next lap.
When I first tried the X1 challenge, after 1 lap I was celebrating the fact that I had fully completed a full lap without disqualification and thought I was done, then realised I had to do another lap. :lol

I know I had a lot of trouble with the last one. Not everybody is at your level, you know.weekend_warrior said:
Yes, check for spray in rear view. Bloody annoying as you are left to guess.expy said:
What are people's pit strategies for longer b-spec races? I've stopped bothering with setting energy levels, just let each driver run til the tank is dry. Maybe use race hards instead of sorts to help them last. Sometimes they'll spin off the track but generally they are ok. And the longer stints help to destroy the competition

Pretty weak, I was just
and I managed to take one of the doors of the rally car. Awesome I thought, gotta see that from cockpit view... except, the door isn't gone in cockpit view, it's replaced by an entirely black placeholder.

I ditched Suzuka for now and raced in Fuji instead. My driver is almost out of strength, should I pit and swap out another driver or just drive 30 laps with this guy?

So I switched tires during the pit stop and now the stupid driver keeps wanting to go back to the pit stop :lol

One of my drivers has been doing the Formula GT championship the whole day now. 6 races, 1 hour each.
He even managed the final lap of Nürburgring without fuel (80 kph max speed).

Aah!!! I fucked up. Stupid driver keeps wanting to pit every lap and I forgot to cancel the latest one and he pitted twice(basically I fuckin lost). And I only had 5 more laps to go. 45 mins wasted gg.
Fuck you B-Spec >_<

Why all the pitting ? Super GT is a piss-easy event in B-spec ?
Give him the Furai or something.

It must have been a random bug, i did this myself a few days ago and the door was definitely gone while looking from the cockpit view. I think that this is the first bug i have seen in GT5 by the wayPsychotext said:Pretty weak, I was justand I managed to take one of the doors of the rally car.

The race itself is easy (my ZZII is miles ahead of the competition) but ever since I switched from Racing Hard to Racing Intermediate, Driver #2 keeps wanting to pit to change the tires I guess.
The automated system is stupid. I'm the fuckin director, I tell the driver what tires to use not his decision to wear the tires he likes. So annoying.

Not to sound like i troll, because i know that people hate when people say "you´re having trouble, OMG it´s so easy", but of all the events to complain, it surprises me that Alfa C8 at Eiger draw so much hate.
We´ve been playing Eiger since december of 2006, i thought everybody would be familiar with the track.
To me it´s not even the hardest one on the Grand Tour. (didn´t liked the Lambo race).

Ok. I still think that it is a bug though. The car i was using was Citroën WCR 08 btw, not sure if it matter which rally car that is used though, but i'm just mentioning it anyway.Psychotext said:

I don't remember if you can buy stuff for the car, but with an oil change, max downforce and slightly higher than default top speed:Dead Man said:
Indy: 1st
Nurburg: 1st
Monaco: 3rd (forgot to reduce top speed)
Fuji: 1st
Monza: 1st
Suzuka: ongoing, but looks like an easy win, it's raining and he's about to start lapping the competition on lap 7 (of 30)
