Shame you can't try a NeoCon pad on the 360. I loved using that on the old PSone.
I wish I had a desk to strap a wheel to
I took the Saw to the back of one of my dining chairs, I had six so what the ****.

Now that's the way a real man solves a problem of this kind! No desk? Ah, screw it. *fires up chainsaw*

You sir are my hero

Pics, or it didn't happen!!!!
Should post that it in one of the 'ghetto' cockpit threads you find on various forums..

Never doubt a Man of Honour !!! Watch this Space.

A Malc mod later.
Ghetto Wheels are Us.
There was a bit of Sawing underneath as well so that the Clamp fitted properly.

Woo, just finished season 5 - R2. I did most of the races with the Lexus Eneos, which was absolutely beautiful to drive once I upgraded it a bit to give it some speed. I'd started out trying with the Koenigsegg CC GT, but it just slid around everywhere in the corners, probably because of the mid-engine. The Lexus steered like an absolute dream, just gliding round the corners. I still used the Koenigsegg for Le Mans though, because the Lexus wouldn't go much above 180, while the Koenigsegg could hit about 210 on the long straights, which makes a lot of difference. I loved the final race - the full circuit on Mugello Airfield. I'd only played one of the shorter configurations on there so far, and the whole course is brilliant! I also really enjoyed doing some longer races, trying to beat my previous lap time each time round.
I had to keep traction control on to stand a chance, which feels a bit rubbish, but without it I just couldn't control the cars coming out of the corners. I'd have to turn the corner and then pretty much stop before I started accelerating again, or I'd just massively oversteer and hit the wall or just sit sideways in everyone's way. It's hard enough going in a straight line, when clipping a rumble strip wrong at 120 sends you miles off course, without corners being impossible too. I also kept the braking line on, as I couldn't cope at the higher speeds without it. I am learning to cope without it in the lower classes though, if I put my mind to it. I'm finding the braking easier since watching a hired driver and having some epiphany about braking gently instead of just slamming on and off and skidding to a halt - goodness knows how that hadn't occurred to me yet. There's definitely a balance to be struck though, as it's still hard to brake late enough to not just get outbraked by the opponents.
I did find by the end of R2 that the races were too easy with TCS and braking line on and massively too hard with them off. Maybe I just need more practise. I could probably get to grips with having no braking line, though I doubt I could ever give up TCS with the massively powered RWD cars.
I've only got 4 more achievements to do now... I need to sell a design, finish season 6, get gold on everything (time consuming, but do-able, particularly if I hire drivers for some of the races I don't like - hello Amalfi and Positano) and get 100,000 drift points. I've no idea how I'll get that drift one, as I suck at drifting. Must practise...

I've got everything but the Gold. Slowly working towards it, but prefer online racing. Would likely take a couple of weeks of dedicated effort.
Tip for the drift points achievement - Fujimi Kaido + Time Attack Evo.
I'm thinking that once I get season 6 done, I'll probably just play a couple of events a week and in about a year I'll make my 1000. Slowest. Completion. Ever.
Hy guys check out ign there's a new car pack coming out with supercars from brands previouy not in the game
so far to images of 10 have been shown an the cars are the gumpert and a mosler
wooooooooo gumpert

but I can't think of many other unrepresented brands?
Ascari at a push maybe

Finally cracked the Switch from Controller to Wheel this morning.
I've put in the hours over this break & this morning I finally clocked a Hot Lap faster with the wheel.
The main benefits of using a wheel for F3 is the involvement & fun factor & being able to pick out your racing line with pinpoint accuracy meaning faster exit times.
I didn't really notice the difference properly until I re tuned a few motors specifically for the wheel. You can get away with much less Front Anti roll bar so turn in improves loads & holding on to the back end is instinctive.
It's took some time to build a decent racing seat/position & get used to the wheel but it has added Untold to my driving games.
Online play is Loads better as well as I can stay closer to the opposition & take tighter lines.

guys, when i first got this, i had the european car pack as i had the special edition when it was first released, i since sold the game and deleted the pack off the hdd, now, i have the craving to play this again so will be picking it up in 30 mins, will i still have those packs? or do i need to buy them now?

Sweet, cheers mate, just installing the content disk now, also, the pre owned copy came with a unscratched legend car pack, sidewinder proving ground track pack and benchmark high speed ring track pack... Not bad lol
ags
They're worth about 800 points. Might be worth sticking them on eBay and get a few quid back...
Really? Isn't that a grip tuned car which under steers?
Not with TCS off and a quick dab of the handbrake...
Wow, can't believe I traded this game in when I got it on release!!!! Amazing fun!
All assists off apart from the braking point line, not the full lap line.
I installed those packs inc the one in the case so no chance of getting any money for it.
Level 26 at the moment, left off at the start of 24 when I handed the game in last time.
Also, how do I do a time trial mode? Only thing left to do achievement wise other than all the levels and years, cars and other career orientated stuff.
