I haven't played my PS3 or GT5 since about April, so no doubt I have some updates to install, I'll do that after work tomorrow.

On a side note, can you change your PSN? Mine isn't very apt...

Thats why i sugested the car.

Plus its actually a decent handler.

[Andy_VX]

Good plan! Better doing best lap time too because some people just smash you off in a race hahaha!

From what I remember of my old GT5 Academy thread Chris is rather good at this. If we do racing again we should organise it better in advance and try and get more people, also disable all the driver aids and the boost. Oh and avoid SS route 7 as it's far too long, actually crashed on the straight as I was bored and checking my emails.

Yeah that was well boring! lol and i had ABS turned off so if i even thought about touching the brakes i was backwards into a barrier lol!

I came 19th overall in the uk when it was run. 280,000 entries or something.

just tried to do a time trial on TG track but i couldn't find it. Don't think you can race that track unless u do the special races. Monza is good for a timed lap though, just did a 1:53 in my VXT i'll use the GT86 and see if i can beat it

There is a bit of a trick to setting gt5 up, there are a couple of options you need to disable etc. Abs should be on 1 really, unless you have a loadcell brake which i dont think many will have. Tyres also should be sports hard or meds. Dont use anything more grippy as it just makes it too easy, having it on these tyres at least mimics a decent track tyre.

To get the top gear track you need to unlock it through the special events.

Gt86 should be in your garage.

You had 2 cars a 370 stock on crap tyres and a race version.

I got 18th in the stock them moved to the race finally got to 19th i could knock off about 0.25 of a second but i settled with 19th (only needed top 20) but by that time my stock time slipped to 30 odd but i just couldnt get used to the grip or lack of grip and only managed to get 25th or something so putting the times together i didnt qualify.

[Andy_VX]

Just done my GT86 up max everything an it did a 1:56 round Monza so 3 seconds slower than the VX!
