Doesn't sound so good when you look at A spec. For getting BRONZE, not even silver or gold in the Vettel challenge I got ~450,000 XP, which leveled me up from 28 to 29 in one go :D All I need to do is bronze the other two events now too :rolleyes:

Also, don't hate my B-spec talent guys, can you lend people B-spec drivers? If you can I can lend you a couple who I can't use yet (I can only use 4 of 6 in any one race atm)

You managed to bronze the X1 challenge? damn, I couldn't get close :o

Monza was a piece of pee, did it 3rd time of trying. I'm about 5-10 sec of bronze at the 'ring, haven't attempted Suzuka, but I'm normally pretty handy round there so assuming I can string two clean laps together I should be able to bronze that.

115/200 Laps of the Indy 500 A spec completed. Kill me now.

I pause every time I pit, spend 10 minutes on here/youtube then return to the grind :) Haven't done the Laguna Seca Endurance yet, but after I've done both I should easily be eligible to do the 1000KM of Suzuka. But I'm not doing that :p Might grind the US championship in the extreme events. I'll be so rich after that :D :p

Thats the way I played it my attention span for a oval is short.
 
I only realised it's gone midnight because I saw the date I set my latest lap record in practice with the FGT was a day after the one before. 1:18.034 If I can keep it on the track for 20 laps.. might that be enough to win the race? :/
oo, 8 museum cards and 8 paint items!

On Fugi? Doesn't matter, in FGT once you take the lead the cars behind drop back to about 10 sec behind you then match you. THERE IS NO ESCAPING THEM

EDIT: I just saw the side of the Playstation branded R8 Le Mans car. It has Gran Turismo 4 logos on it. They really were lazy with the standard cars :eek:

haha, it's a quick money maker while you're doing something else.
I'm earning 5k per minute while I sit here and watch full metal alchemist :D
You get some good cars from it too. Toyota 7 = easiest way to do historic race car cup, no spending 20m.

To be fair B-SPEC is murder and I looked it up and you get that toyota 7 by doing like the wind which seems to be an infamously hard race, now my b-spec guy struggles to do the crappy clubman cup nevermind that lol, I cringe at the though of how many spin outs my b-spec guy would do.

On a lighter note, got a toyota 7 I could borrow :D?
I tried to do it with the buick, but doesn't seem to be doing very well :/.
 
Mmm, my guy did pretty well on like the wind, though the second race is pretty hard due to all the corners. My driver gets on well with my Mazda 787b Stealth though so it only took a couple of tries :)

B1C3P - I can lend you one (I think, pretty sure I got it back from the last person I lent it to lol), add me and I'll send it over :) You'll have to be quick if you want it tonight though, I'm going to bed in 20 minutes or so, otherwise I'll send it when I get up tomorrow.

edit: Pretty sure this was mentioned a few pages back but it's worth posting it again anyway:

Since technically it's Christmas Eve now I might actually just go and see if those are up yet :D

edit: meh, can't see anything on the JP or Euro stores yet :(

Did you get my 458? Should do most of the races you're "stuck" on :)
 
Wow bit surprised by the RX7 Seasonal - a lot easier than expected - Id recommend using the rigidity mod - makes it far better on corners due to vastly reduced body roll...

Though one weird thing - after I added that mod I was 205bhp with the decat so had to switch that off :confused:...
