Any of you guys had an online race yet? Is the net code any good out of interest?

Well, I thought about waiting some more but caved in and asked the GF to pick up a copy and also placed a bid on a 2nd hand Logitech Driving Force EX of 25 euro, is it a reasonable wheel?

That wheel is similar to the one i am using for now it will get the job done but thats it .

 

[beachBOYken]

anyone managed to come first in the stock car race in the special events section , im finding it hard on the amatuer diffuculty also

is it possible to backup the gt save ?

I didnt like the top gear lotus race that thing gets out of shape well easy , damn i have a old chevy muscle car with supercharger and other mods and that is easier to control than the lotus with very little driving aids .

Use the brake whilst still accelerating then release the accelerator. You'll find it keep the car much more stable.

Ah cool, no-one said anything in text chat and I didn't see a mic icon so I assumed the worst.

Would be great if we can stick to voice chat instead of text (assuming people have mics). I find the chat bubbles that appear highly annoying and distracting.

You'll be able to use voice chat in-game no doubt but you can't have voice lobbies like you can on the XBox 360, a feature that should have been there at the start of the PS3's life.

I'll post the Vent details once I get home from work and instructions on how to install and set it up.

Handbrake.

Pretty tricky to execute a 'right hand over left hand, right index finger on the O button' on a G27 selector while down shifting on the paddles

Doable but very tricky. I hope someone discovers how to map the handbrake to one of the buttons on a G27 wheel.

Shocking lack of support for the G25/27

Done it without the handbrake! I'm using a DFP so all the right buttons within reach

Camper vans are now my Nemesis.

That's fine, it's cheap and if I don't like it I will sell it again.

What race did you win the Lupo with again? I sold it and need it for a Professional race

 

[CliffyBiro]

Spent £30k on a standard RX7. Bad mistake. Some of the standard models are terrible.

[antijoke]

Are all races done with a rolling start?

 

[peterattheboro]

No cos I didn't get all Gold

 

[Dup]

No cos I didn't get all Gold

Then it might be the Euro Hatchback amateur race?

 

[Mlingard]

No cos I didn't get all Gold

Just spotted a Jag E-Type Coupe 1961 in used cars, so I've snapped it up and tuned it up. Upwards of 300,000km on the clock

Absolute beauty

Waste of money doing it all up mind you, but felt like it as my dad has one. Had to paint it though as it didn't come in red
