Ahhh.

I ended up having to use up all of my vacation time over the holidays. 2 1/2 weeks of GT time while the wife is at work.

Well, I've finally won "Like the Wind" on Daytona Roadcourse in the Mazda Furai. Since I won both events now I have received a '89 Minolta Toyota 88C-V Race Car!

The biggest a help for me in winning Daytona was turning on "Skid Recovery Force". Without that assist turned on I couldn't keep the Furai pointed straight. With SRF on the Furai was a dream to drive.

does anyone have GT Academy SpecV that they would be willing to trade? if so let me know what your looking for in return

MC · 01-02-2011, 02:45 PM

some rare cars of interest i have are

i just won a 10 Million Credit Alfa Romeo GIULIA TZ2 carrozzata da ZAGATO

and i won a Ferrari F40 and a Toyota 7 Race Car '70... (that thing destroys everything and can win the Historic Racing Car Cup

well i am stuck on the last race on the professional series. My galardo is just not stable enough for that type of racing i think....Whats a good way of getting a tuned race car? Grind? Or b-spec?

I believe that I beat this championship with the Mazda Furai. The Furai is a prize car for winning the B-spec Amateur NR-A Roadster cup. If you haven't started B-spec then you are missing out on some very nice prize cars and extra money.

This game is awesome, I am throughly impressed.

I just got it Saturday and played for a few hours yesterday but I already like the clean design of the game and the cockpit views are definitely my favorite.

If you find a caterham fireblade 02 in the used car dealership pick it up. It's a blast to drive. Pump it up to about 185 hp and put sport soft or race hard on it . Fun. I just spent about 3 hours racing that car online with a bunch of other caterhams -- awesome, but I suck

Request sent. I'm usually online starting at around 9pm Central time

Zaggeron · 02-18-2011, 08:07 PM

Now that they have remote B-spec races that let you login and run races from the GT website I need more PSN friends with shrared B-Spec racers. I have a level 8 and a level 21. I'll probably create a couple more to start leveling up. Post you're PSN tag here and I'll send you an invite if you are interested in having your B-spec drivers grind for you.

flashburn · 02-18-2011, 08:11 PM

I need some GT5 friends too! I got no AI drivers to race against.

My PSN ID is flashburn2012.

Zaggeron · 02-18-2011, 08:18 PM

Request sent. You have to specifically set your driver to "online" status. While he/she has that status, you can't use them in normal B-spec.

flashburn · 02-18-2011, 08:32 PM

Accepted. My racers have been shared. Now I need some more people on my list.
