I've already done the whole tuned supercar thing, have a 724 BHP 458 Italia which is a bit hard to control on certain tracks. Just looking for something with more of a racing setup like a cheap Le Mans car or something.

Either by winning one in an event or buy from the used car room. I can gift you mine if you still need it later..

Thanks for the offer, I may just take you up on that.

I've been in and out of the used car room, tbh that's where most of my cars come from. Am I going mad or were they sold as new in GT4?
 
Just got the Veyron :)

I noticed on most cars you need to turn the rear brake bias down a touch, as it is often a bit too high by default (5).

ok say i make a lobby for me and my friends to play, we leave a couple of spaces for randoms.
i pick a car and track and set the race restrictions...no traction control etc..

sound simple enough ?

it should be, yet the event restrictions cannot be forced in forza. so while you maybe sliding about having problems controling the back end, others can be fine flooring every exit from every corner.

not sure if they have fixed it yet but i played it for about 2 months after its release online.

thats the only reason i stoppped playing forza online...even after 2 months it hadn't been fixed and the single player just didn't have enough variety to keep me hooked.

You must be talking about public hoppers in Forza 3, the private lobbies (that you set up with your mates) from day 1 has had a gazillion options/restrictions, you can set all assists on/off individually, you can set whether 'tuning' is allowed, whether damage is cosmetic/limited/simulation, class of cars, types of cars, PI limits (low and high), you name it, it's pretty much there.. Even staggered starts/ and can even set that fastest lap wins.. All it's missing is some of the organised racing niceties like automatic qualifying etc. GT5 is just very rudimentary at the moment.

You also have to consider that assists are different in FM, generally you can go faster/brake hard etc with no assists on, it's only very high power RWD cars that benefit from TCS.

They can in a private lobby, the amount of customisation is epic. Most Forza 2 players bugbear with Forza 3 was the loss of custom public lobbies in favour of the hoppers.

yes you can set them but it was bugged, it did not force them all.
we tested this making a private room(i think it was) and inviting the other person, setting traction control to off and picking R1 cars.
the person who was hosting had traction control disabled but the other person joining did not.

if you still play forza then try it with a mate.

I've been playing organised comps for a long time, it works, always has for us, so if it's a glitch, it was patched pretty quick, I've not heard of this on any of the organised racing forums....

A common issue is that people forget to press 'A' to save the changes, they go into the race setup, make some changes, but press B to get back to the lobby, which doesn't actually make the changes.
 
Has anyone got a car that they have used to complete the Gran Turismo All Stars with?

I've got a '67 Miura to swap for it, which is up at 15,000,000 Cr in the New Car Dealership
I've also got all the Chrome Line Pack cars for buying the Collectors Edition, but I'm not sure if I can gift those?
 
I need a fast MX5 car to complete the Amateur series. Anyone got appropriate cars they can gift me that would complete the races without upgrading?

I've got an 04 MX5 1800 @167bhp with aero and racing slicks. I need it back for B spec at some point though...

I used a Veyron for the French race :D
