PS3 - Gran Turismo

Nikkolai · 12-21-2010, 10:00 AM

I just bought a PS3 this past weekend just for GT 5 and 370Z being in it. I'm sad that the Nismo isn't available. Sucks that for a few more dollars, I could have just bought an oil cooler instead, d'OH!!!!!

Same here...I can finally get within a second of 1st place...probably today I'll be able to beat it.

Well, I've managed to get silvers in all the Special Events except the last where I have only managed to get a bronze.

i got silver with a specV... it had 490 hp ( buy the midpipe and the manifold) then i did all the weight reduction ... i was able to get silver but was way off gold...

has anyone gotten a formula GT car that can online share? i need to complete the forumula GT series in extreme but i probably wont use it after that and dont want to have to earn all that $

i have 2.5 million right now ( i would have more but i bought 3 dfferent super GT GTRs) and its boring grinding the indy race 20 more times

here's how to gold on the fiat event... the first corner is key! it sets you up to come out fast and pass the first couple cars before the long straight... just jump right over the grass on the right in second turn then brake straight and 100 degree left... right turn with only barely the front left tire still on the track surface - rest is over grass - then pass a mini van and make sure you are close enough to the next car (yellow?) so that you can catch it's slipstream in time enough to pass BEFORE the long straight turns right... done correctly, you will be 17.5 seconds off the pace at the end of first lap (not 18+)... if you don't see 17.5 then reset... second lap, same thing slip stream... third lap you're on your own, 4/5 laps are all about catching the first car... you should be within ~4 secs starting last lap... goal is to be in first car's slipstream or close to it on long straight of last lap - you don't need to be ahead of it, as it is very slow coming out of the final turn... and by the way, the payout sucks on this event! some of the others pay 1 mill for gold, not this one

Finally got gold on the first two events. the fc race is killing me though I keep oversteering.

Re: GT Academy, I was able to hold on to 10th in my region before going to sleep last night; thru today I dropped down to 31st in region... then I just gained 2-tenths of a second before calling it a night... I don't even want to check how many places that got me in region, but I'm sure tomorrow will be another battle.
My region is West btw, Las Vegas

Moved to GT5 photo thread.

Photo thread is this way ===> GT5 Z photos

The front wheels on that look really odd. Is that a standard car?

Eric · 12-22-2010, 12:26 PM

I just moved my pics into the photo thread.

All of the pictures are premium models.

I just had one hell of a race in "Like the Wind" on Indy Superspeedway in the Mazda Furai beating the 2nd place car by +0.004 of a second.

I started racing this track last night never placing a better than 6th. But, this morning I had a couple close 2nd place finishes and finally a win. The Furai doesn't have enough power down the straights to compete with the LMP cars but it kills them in the corners.

I could easily put the Furai in the lead in the first lap but since the Furai doesn't have enough power down the straights I was never able to keep the lead for long. I tried blocking but that usually got me spun into the grass. It is best to follow the leaders and make your move on the last lap.
