Gt5 Is Ready

[89CAL]

i can only manage 1:37's in my R33 GTR V-Spec LM Limited

Had to detune it to get it into the power range lol. Still, not sure how your supposed to do it in this GTR, looks like the newer the GTR the better

[boiracer]

been offline for more than a week...get back and its a big patch. yay. got my '88 countach from the online collectors garagee.

some cool pics, and mighty amounts of game play you guys have been doing by the looks of it. keep it up

[boiracer]

oh, anyone played with the clutch much??(G27)

ive read you need to press triangle and blah blah blah before the race starts but after it loads and yadda yadda.....all crap

it works fine, just make sure you use it for every change after touching it, dont flat shift (which is a bit lame), and dont miss anything. it is very rewarding to use once you get used to it. makes for much smoother downshifts especially in that dambed top gear challenge in the lotus

lol.. u said r33

So I see on GTP yesterday that you get 3.7 million xp for winning the Nür 24Hr on B-spec. God only knows how much you get on A-spec; ~6 mil?

Of course since you're already at lev 40, it makes no difference to your levelling- But what an awesome way to turn noobie Bobs into track-meisters in one hit.

Have you reduced the weight of it? but as i said, in my r34 n1 i could only get 1.31's so i hd to use an r35. From memory i didn't change the oil because that would've put me over the power limit so i just put a basic air filter on it and that took it to exactly 493. i also had aero mods on it too

Yep R35 v spec is the way to go..... took my about 5 goes to learn the track properly but I got gold. Struggling with the Fiat challenge though I can only get silver anyone got any tips for golding it?

[boiracer]

my b spec driver is a real noob......

[sh@un]

they wise up real quick when you put them through enduros

getting there is the tedious part

[boiracer]

i hope so. hes a average-slightly cool driver, and yet gets flustered and easily hits red while im telling him to ease up. not until he poorly overtakes everyone does he then settle and get into a good rhythm. mind you i only just started B spec...lvl 4. i just dont like doing mods to crappy little cars that won the A spec stuff for me easily

i didn't even use the v-spec. i just used the normal one and saved myself 100k, LOL

as for the fiat, i too have only got silver. my last attempt i was 2 seconds behind. the big thing i found is that after driving plenty of fast cars, with the fiat you have to remember that you are going much slower, so you ease off the brakes a bit sooner otherwise you wash off too much speed. also on the last corner you can hold it flat the whole way round, however this causes you to run a bit wide, so if you lift off a bit and get a straighter line, and if you are using an auto it should drop back to 4th which will give you better acceleration. if you hold it flat you end up going the same speed at the end of the corner but you are still in 5th and don't accelerate as fast. also draft down the back straight as mush as possible.

what I've learned is when you get a chance to create a driver soon, keep hitting the 'new driver' button until they have as much attitude as possible: it makes them quicker in the long run (which is what you need for being able to start a race and come back hours later to a win)

yeah but the flipside to that is when they're battling an opponent and they're meter goes all the way into the red they'r almost definately going to have a fantastic crash. if your not cheating and your using a proper car so as not to give yourself a stupid advantage then that would probly cause issues?

[boiracer]

yeah your both right. it does cause isues. but i can see what shaun is getting at. i would like to be able to walk away in the big races...at least for a while. ill make sure i have a driver on both ends of the scale

[Spurdo]

yea thats what i've done, one driver at about 90%, one at 50%, one at 70% and one at 10% and i use them in whichever order fits in with my strategy

[sh@un]

hot-heads all the way baby

I was winning the Roadster 4hr by 16 laps using a heavily modified car. the ones with maxtreme attitude are always keen to maintain their lead or overtake lap traffic. recognize

[iamhe77]

Sounds good to me. Only just picked up my second driver (don't get much time to play ) and made sure he was a hothead.

My coolheaded driver doesn't allow me to walk away from a single B-spec race. Even in the early races against 300ZX's etc he becomes so complacent in the 650+hp LFA that he will drop his half lap lead and let others overtake him.

Looking forward to just letting a driver drive on his own.

Anyone looking to buy a HKS PS3 Racing Controller? I think I see one for sale somewhere cough cough

yup- that's why I retired the cool driver I got second and started again. He was rubbish at being left to it.

pretty sure someone in this thread bought one. personally i wouldn't waste the money, especially just because it has HKS on it. just get a white-out pen and write HKS on your controller.
