I'm on level 2 on b spec :lol:


Level 23 B spec and he is doing the All stars right now in the Toyota Minolta thumbsup
I'm looking forward to the F1 cars. 20 Mill for a classic car is shocking!

The f1 cars aren't fun.
Might try b spec again, I got really bored though.

Anyone got the GTR trophy? I don't know the Nordschleife well enough. I want that one though.

I'm also having problems with the historic race. I've either got a car that can out handle them but gets out dragged (Lambo) or a car that can catch them on the straights but is always sideway in the corners (Cobra)

I've also just spend 4,000,000 on a Diesel Peugeot ....... 908 HDI, it's awesome.


Camaro Z28 with racing modifications and full tuning won it for me, but it was the toughest race I've done.

Not tried it yet but I have all golds on the AMG academy dry and all silver in the wet so I know it pretty well. Have also done a sub 6 min lap in the Toyota Minolta. Will give it a shot tonight.

Been playing GT5 for a while now and when the VX220 N/A and the VX220 turbo compete the N/A wins 9 time out of 10 so i am wondering if this is reality or the developers imagination?

I noticed that as well. I even slowed the NA down and then it overtook the tubbys. Everyone knows NA's are faster :gayfight:

Damn, I've been playing with the Tubbys - one I've setup to be as close to my own car as I can, calypso rot (German equivalent of same paint), fixed suspension, normal tyres. Shame I couldn't paint the wheels and V in black :(

I know for sure I've got rid of an NA before now thinking "won't need that, got a Tubby". Gonna have to go and buy one now. I'm guessing you can add a supercharger to it? That really would be a .orgster's dream car...

I'm at the point now where all I have left are the endurance races. I doubt I'm going to complete them, not because they are hard just because I don't have THAT many hours spare!

I did the first one, grand valley I think, took a couple of hours, no plans to do any more as I think the next one is 4hrs.

Ferrari F1 cars are proper pointless! Just spent 12.5m on one and you can't use it in any A or B spec races :angry2: TBH though as soon as you have the X1 nothing else compares. 4 hour endurance comprises of 2.5 hrs driving then parking up and letting the others catch you up but not before the time runs out. Can consistently do sub 6 min 'ring laps on the configuration with both Nordschliefe and GP circuit (layout V?) Bored of it now though, have moved on to the drift trials.

Started having a bash at it yesterday. Done 5 laps and I'm still about 5 seconds off the pace at 7:34. Another 5 laps and I recon i'll have it.

That's a bugger. I know there's an online race for them - hope the prize makes buying it worthwhile. I've just got the Gran Turisom 'F1 style' car to finish off that level - bloddy hard to control (but then I do have all driver aids switched off) :rolleyes:
