Big tip, turn traction control off.. MUCH MUCH easier

Oh yeah it's off, but I still can't get close

Anyone else find the Rally events harder with a wheel!? I've got a G25 and struggle with it compared with the pad...

Is it just me!? lol

:/

Nope, its not just you. There's too much arm twirling involved to change direction quickly enough. I still managed the Lien challenges though because pedals make it easier to feather the throttle

I found the Expert Gran Turismo Rally events stupidly easy. On the snow stages I was beating the opposition by atleast 25 seconds on each stage without even trying. On a couple of stages I even over-took the car that went on to the stage first before I got to the finish line.

It was baffling because I found the so-say easier rally events more difficult

Same for me, the expert was easy but I struggled on others

 

[MrKnifey]

Same here, took about 15 attempts on the Beginner rally Events yet smoked them by minutes on the Expert?

Ha ha

Happy B'Day

Thanks.

Just had a quick blast on GT5 this morning, I really wish I didn't start again now! The amount of hours I've put in since restarting I may as well have used that time to just do the Super Speedway over and over for cash, I could've had millions.

 

[MrKnifey]

Anyone elses game keep freezing on the GT screen?

 

[V_R]

I had that the other day, (Sunday) only happened then.

But i cleared the cache via options it *seems* to have fixed it, it may just be placebo though.

 

[Flubble]

mine freezes until i sign out of psn then its fine and fast

 

[MrKnifey]

It doesnt freeze the PS.. just the game? Wierd.. Twice now in an hour

 

[Speed]

If it isn't froze, ie the logo is still moving then disconnect the network cable. Any long loading delays appear to be down to the game trying to log your progress using the internet. Obviously this isn't as straight forward if you use wireless.

 

[MrKnifey]

Yea im using Wireless.. Next it does it ill leave it and go make some tea..

 

[V_R]

Try clearing the cache as i said above, it may help, you dont loose anything trying.

yeah had it a few times, thankfully it's never been when the game is saving or bye bye saved game

 

[TripleT]

Yer mine freezes every now and then, will unplug the network cable next time thanks.

Really getting in to this now.

Don't know if it's already been posted, but if you're struggling with the GT world championship in B-spec mode, use the Mazda Furai.....set downforce to max and buy a stage 3 turbo and it wins by an absolute mile without giving any instructions My ZR1 couldnt even compete

 

[jonneymendoza]

how do u set the downforce?

 

[thecremeegg]

how do u set the downforce?

When load into a race, instead of pressing the Race button, scroll across to race options, go up to the chassis tab and then on the aero bit click and it'll let you change the sliders

 

[Speed]

Or go into the garage, select the car then tuning and it is done under the Body/Chassis option at the top.

Try clearing the cache as i said above, it may help, you dont loose anything trying.

+1

Anyone got a Formula Gran Turismo Car I could borrow? Getting sick of looking for one for the Formula Gran Turismo World Championship!
