Yup, got my codes by email from them on the 24/11 at 12noon.
The Stealth GT-R is awesome.
Hmmm, i think a strongly worded email is in order!
Can you use the stealth cars in a-spec mode to do the races? Or just in arcade mode?
Wait for something to appear in the used car section mostly.

Has anyone got anything that can compete in the Historical Racecar event?
Tried tuning my Ferrari 512BB but it can't match their speed and handling.

I've done all the special events except 1 or 2 and I'm at lvl 19.
Need permission to access that :S
Not sure why the link isnt working, so rehosted it as an Excel file
Hope folk have better luck with this.
As for the Stealth cars, yes you can use them in A-Spec racing, so they come in very handy.

I purchased this game yesterday and this is my very breif review.
The graphics are ok, no more no less. They are very detailed in places but much of the game such as track textures, standard cars and track backdrops are sub par. Infact the track backdrops are shocking! But the cars look like cars (premium are very impressive) and tracks look like tracks.
The thing that realy stunned me about this game is the detail put into the tracks (not the graphics but the detail of corners bumps and camber etc...) when I first did the AMG stuff on the nurburgring I was very, very impressed. I was expecting the representation of the 'ring to be like all other games which tend to be like an abridged version made from photos and a game developers mind, this version is almost spot on! They have managed to pull off most of the lumps and bumps in corners also some of the crazy off camber corners as well, the only thing this version could be pulled up on is some of the gradient changes could be a little more severe at points. Other than that, as the 'ring is the only track in the game I have been to I can only assume the other tracks have the same amount of detail to them. Which is amazing.

The car handling is good, although I'm not too sure is the "physics" are spot on, something just seems not right, this is by no means and arcade game but I can't quite put my finger on it. What this game does do though is make the cars seem alive, not sure if this is a byproduct of very detailed track surfaces but the cars can realy move about which is great as it is a change from other games which portray racing track surfaces as granite worktop smooth (by this I don't mean without Elevation changes just the track surface is without lumps and bumps)
Overall I thing the game is good and the occasional shoddy graphics are nothing which would ruin the gameplay.
Oh the karts are fun!

Really enjoyed the Loeb SpecialGold on all, could not beat the ghost on all of them though, still got the C4 rally car as a prize though!
Yeah, I couldn't beat the ghost on that, even though I got gold.
Absolutely hated the snow though.
Heres a tip.
Have him start off with the lower paced option.
One of my drivers is hott headed too.
I start him off at a lower pace then as soon as hes cool enough I up the ante.
Every time I got close and could have overtaken his car shot off, FIX
I loved the snow personally, found it kind of predictable what it was going to do, the dirt was a bit annoying under heavy breaking and just brushing the barrier then get disqualified
Do you get anything special for beating the ghost? or just an achievement...
