[BIFCAIDS]

Anyone race modded a corvette? Getting 905bhp after being run in and an engine overhaul! Will post some pics too. Going to race mod a 69 camero for the historic race

let me know if its worth it

 

[Pearcy]

i can not do allot of the golds in the licences, dont know how you do it. and for the AMG i can do all of them in Silver, still havnt done the SLS in the wet though

Racing games have always been my thing should be a bit better when i hook it up to the wheel too. Couldn't defeat the last intermediate SLS challenge i'm about 5 secs off gold... Hardest one so far for me was the Aston 1000m braking, took me about 40mins or so.

 

[quik97]

for camper van you only need to break for one corner on the whole track do that and you'll piss it

 

[Brazo]

let me know if its worth it

Yeah will do mate, I suspect it may beat the race in a spec but bob needs a full on race car iirc...

 

[Pearcy]

did the last SLS one finally, 7minutes dead.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Dont bother its a nail ive wasted 300k fml

Has anyone else got bored of this and gone back to F1 2010? I just find the racing more exhilirating than GT5,youre always pushing your car faster in F1and feels like youre on the edge....photo mode is still stunning but the actual GT races are just boring me senseless.

 

[Brazo]

Already done! Mate have you tried tuning it properly? It looks simply awesome so well worth it for me!

Just going to buy an SLS and tune it to f**k. I know you can win one by golding the AMG events but given Bob can earn me the money to buy one in an hour and I will never gold those events it makes sense!!!!

Codemasters have always nailed that flat out/on the edge feeling, dirt 2 was a prime example. I know what you mean but no I haven't gone back yet...

 

[BIFCAIDS]

brazo information on your set-up for this cat C nail?

 

[Brazo]

GT planet mate, one of the tuning garages has a set up for it

 

[iain187]

struggling to beat that stupid rocket car thing at monaco in my race modded chevvy (classic race cars in expert)


edit: restarted to adjust my gear ratios and the rocket car wasn't first on the grid anymore and i won first go woo

 

[Brazo]

Yeah thats the chapparel 2J, make sure it starts at the back of the field!!!

Today i've been mostly clearing snow. Bob however has been earning me a near fortune, should hit 2 million by this evening

 

[quik97]

what races you got b spec bob doing im trying to save for formula gt car

 

[ForceIndia]

Bob should win 'with the wind' later on. That and the Formula GT should mean I can complete extreme.

 

[Brazo]

what races you got b spec bob doing im trying to save for formula gt car

Digital cup on expert, bob uses Mazda furai which will end up I'm first place by the first corner. No input needed. 150k every 50 mins. Currently got over 2 million!

 

[Matt Cup]

Just been doing a bit of B-spec. This interpretation pretty well sums up how I feel lol..

Me: Alright lads, today is a massive day. We have three events left in the championship, let’s go out and win them all! O.Goh, what’s wrong?
O.Goh: I am feeling down.
Me: Why?
O.Goh: No reason.
Me: Is it because I haven’t used you in a while
O.Goh: Kind of.
Me: Does winning make you feel better?
O.Goh: Sometimes, doesn’t really matter.
Me: Ok f**k this, who else is up for the races?
I.Pope: Oh me,me,me. Quick question, does my forehead feel hot coach?
L.Bean: I am good to go as well coach, just need to shake these chills. Anyone else cold?
Me: What the f**k is with you lot!? You’re like a bunch of menopausal women.
B.Tran: I am a woman coach.
Me: What! My bad B.Tran, you never take off that helmet and I just assumed you were a man. How about you take the wheel today, let me make it up to you.
B.Tran: Thanks coach! I won’t let you down. It is a 300hp average sedan race with unrestricted tires. What do you think I should grab from the garage? The STI? The Focus?
Me: Um, nah why don’t you take out the Minolta
B.Tran: Really? That seems a bit much. I think I can handle the competition with the STI.
Me: Take the Minolta, trust me.
*The race begins*
Me: Overtake!
B.Tran: Whoops, rear ended N.Soto, my bad.
Me: Ok, no problem, shake it off, overtake!
B.Tran: It is hot in here, I think I am going to hang back a little. Oh, this guy is next to me, better slow down. Or should I pass him? I am not sure. I need some advice coach. This racing thing is just so darn confusing sometimes.
Me: Overtake!!! You literally have four times the horse power FFS!
B.Tran: Wow these turns sure are scary, but I seem to do well on the straights! They aren’t even close to me after that last lap.
Me: Yeah yeah, good job just keep your head in the game.
B.Tran: I am gonna just roll down the windows and cool off a bit, is that ok coach?
Me: You’re in a god damn race! What do you mean cool off?! You are a disgrace to the sport of racing, pace up you chicken s**t! I am going to go make a stiff drink and try to forget the tremendous disappointment you and your teammates are to me. If you don’t hear anything from me, just remember you are in a race and should maintain a fast pace no matter what.
*Radio goes silent followed by muffled cursing in the distance and an uncorking of a bottle*
B.Tran: Coach? Coach? Should I slow down? I am coming up on these lapped cars and it is making me really mad. So mad I could just, whoops! Went a little wide there, let me just steer her back on the road, Whoops! went off on the other side. If I could just get her going strai... Oh no! all of the other cars! Ok, I think it is best to just sit here politely until they all pass.
*Gunshot echoes across the radio, followed by a loud thud*
B.Tran: Coach?

Just did the bday glitch to get that chapparel rocket car

[Spiezels]

[Geddes]

What date did you put in?

 

[lamborgini8]

Anyone done the Historic car race? Im using the Toyota 7 and just can't keep up with that jet car thing...

 

[Geddes]

i'm still stuck on the Historic too and even the GT All Stars, still can't afford a racer. tried a few high powered cars but getting no where

 

[ForceIndia]

The historic race is eaSy with the Toyota 7, but you need to upgrade the turbo. All you need to do for Monaco is max out the aero

 

[iain187]

I race modded the old school chevvy, you have to up the gear ratios a bit and make sure that rocket thing isn't on pole lol.

 

[iain187]

1.05 is out, a casual 608mb

 

[syko6288]

Im doing new update now 50mins apparently add Damage to the game

Had a quick google and it led me to gtplanet

 

[lamborgini8]

i'm still stuck on the Historic too and even the GT All Stars, still can't afford a racer. tried a few high powered cars but getting no where

Historic is the only race I have left to do and I have Expert mode complete, I already have half of Extreme mode complete and the cars you win from them are difficult to win the historic races with.

The historic race is eaSy with the Toyota 7, but you need to upgrade the turbo. All you need to do for Monaco is max out the aero

Il try that tonight, I have the 7 fully upgraded and tweeked with some setups from gt planet. Im in first place pretty much from the start but as soon as I get to a corner, the jet car thing shoots past like its on rails.

 

[Geddes]

is there a pic on the rocket? not sure what this one looks like

 

[syko6288]

Just googled it and it brings up the tank car are these the same cars just called something different ??

 

[lamborgini8]

Taken from gtplanet, these are the confirmed changes in 1.05.

- Online Collector's Dealership added to GT Life My Home
- Seasonal Events added to GT Life My Home
- Game Data can now be saved to USB and also copied to another account on same PS3 <- GTP tag dilemma SOLVED
- HUD can now be completely removed in a race and practice (Display All/Hide instruments/Off) <- available for adjustment from pause menu
- Mechanical Damage now available in Arcade Mode (Light/Heavy)
- Select User BGM for MENU (I believe this is new)
- Mercedes 190 E Evo / Mercedes CLK GTR prize cars for AMG driving school

...and what rocket are people on about?

 

[Geddes]

half of that above means nowt to me

 

[Geddes]

just did the update, and i got a few free stuff.

What's this Museum cards all about?

Got a free Merc E190 evo
museum cards
spray cards
a track to do with the Ring

that's all i can remeber

 

[lamborgini8]

Here's the jet car thing.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

i actually got silver last night on the lotus TGC and also leveled up 22 so more races more moneys lol

 

[ForceIndia]

That may be the problem. The planetgt setup just doesn't work for me, best I could manage was 3rd (one of the setups has 7camber!). Default setup, max downforce, high rpm turbo.

 

[Geddes]

that jet car looks fast lol, what's it top speed?

aye mee too Biff did abit yesterday on the Lotus TGC took about 30+ attempts got that peed off i went for a break and did some more and evenually got 1st, my advice is get past the first 2 on the first corner and try and get past maybe 2 on the second and 2 more after that long straigt and over take on the very last few coners do that and you'll get Gold

Some of the gtplanet setups are a bit confusing to be honest, there's some that say suspension: max... Is that max lowered or max lifted?

Not sure about the speed of the jet car, according to wikipedia the jets are only there to provide downforce and each jet is powered by a 45bhp snow mobile engine.
