I'm barely updating but the website says:

"Round 1 consists of three time trial events designed to test your driving skills and mastery of the tracks, using Nissan vehicles. "

How many tracks is it showing for you?

Tsukuba Circuit -- Nissan Fairlady Z (Z34) ‘08
Rome (Reverse) -- Nissan Skyline Coupe 370GT SP ‘07
Cape Ring -- Nissan 370Z Tuned Car (GT Academy Version)

i love the 370z but without skid recovery and then ASM if it was that touchy in real life id pour gas on it and burn it to the ground...

seriously i played Tsukuba for 2 hours trying to find the right settings

ASM ON.. forget it you can even compete for time at all

finally i came up with

ASM off
TSC 1
ABS 4
AUTO
COCKPIT VIEW

LOL I can't compete with you anyway MC. I saw the times that you were posting in the GTR forum for the contest and I was nowhere near that. No way I can compete with thousands of people in GT Academy.

MC · 12-20-2010, 08:53 PM

the best time on that track so far is a damn 1:05... i cant see how they are doing that.. i busted my *** for a high 1:07.xx i got to where i was shaving just hundreths off

How are you earning money? It's not giving me anything when I finish the race

those you dont get money... go to the Aspec Bonus events.. its the 2nd slide in the seasonal events area...

there are 5 of them... you start 12th and have to get to 1st in 5 laps with each car... its pretty hard... i got silver on 4 of them and got gold on the 4th one with the challenger R/T

Skip ahead to the GTR bonus event for easy cash.

xdeslitx · 12-20-2010, 10:42 PM

The fiat bonus event is hard LOL...I can get silver consistently but 1st is about 12 seconds away even when i finish 2nd.

hint: race transmission dialed in so it bounces off red once or twice near end of long straight... also, there are a few corners you can enter with a lot more speed than you initially think, including the one after start finish straight

Question: can you not change settings like ABS in-game for these GTA events? I assume it's to make it fair for everyone, but maybe it's just me. They are grayed out.

Eric · 12-21-2010, 09:33 AM

I almost won the Fiat event. I finished within a second of the leader. My lap time are between 1:19s and 1:21s with the first lap usually a 1:22s lap. I'll win this event eventually!

Thanks, MC! Exactly what I was wanting.

If everyone can adjust them wouldn't it be fair for everyone?
