Just done the Like the wind series. Used a fully tuned Veyron for the daytona circuit. Slow down enough for the corners and it's a doddle. Used the Furai Concept for the Indy oval. It was like this car was made for this event!

So now I have the Minolta turbo'd sat at over 1k HP!

Glad people liked my picture. I'd read a while ago that an ironing board made a surprisingly good stand for a steering wheel and it was a good way for me to try out my steering wheel to see if getting a proper stand was worth it or not.

I'd mentioned this to a mate a while ago and I remembered him saying that one of his lifes regrets would be not seeing me trying to play GT5 with an ironing board so I had a bit of inspiration last night

Left to right movement is stable although it does tend to move around a bit forwards/backwards. Really looking forward to getting my Wheelstand Pro next week.

Still an excellent car both value and performance wise though.

LOLWUT? the 458 is faster in real life around Ferraris Fiorano track, it seems faster in the game, and is cheaper :confused:

Is it true you get a free car on your birthday?

I am praying I get a Yellowbird

Sorry I thought the quote said 458. I got one early on and it got me through about 40% of the races once upgraded.

Yeah same! Couldn't help myself....

Costa di Amalfi is the track I miss, loved that one

Also just done the Pickup Truck Daytona, my GOD B-Spec is ****ing useless.

400kg less than stock and 200bhp more wouldn't allow him to win it, 300bhp more, still no, custom gearbox? still no, took a custom suspension setup with 2 degrees of camber y0 to get him to go round the corners properly and still only won it by ~0.2 seconds.

Better not have any more issues like that, it was ****ing ridiculous.

PS: I want my wheel back to do some things, too hard otherwise

They're not stupid, my B-Spec guy has just won the Historic Cup that everyone here has been complaining about

OK so I gave him a stage 3 turbo'd Toyota 7, but he still won

Marine Iguana · 8 Dec 2010 at 00:26

Brilliant

rebel rebel · 8 Dec 2010 at 00:26

How much was the Toyota7? I want one.

Speed · 8 Dec 2010 at 00:29

I saw one in the 2nd hand for 4.5 million-ish.

rebel rebel · 8 Dec 2010 at 00:31

hyperzed · 8 Dec 2010 at 00:43

I won it in Like the Wind B-Spec

I've also won a Zagato TZ2 :eek:

I was ready to stab my B-Spec 5 minutes ago, but he won me those, so all is forgiven.... for now

Speed · 8 Dec 2010 at 00:53

God this Superspeedway Indy race in Like the Wind is getting on my nerves. Just got Silver but the AI always seem to attack me on that last corner!

rebel rebel · 8 Dec 2010 at 00:56

Ok cool thanks for that. Im on level 9 b-spec, im going for the zonda that you win in the GT World Championship too.
