The link I posted a few pages back seemed to reckon it was going to be a western release too.

edit: kona - it is now yes, now that they've removed the copy protection from the saves. If you use a different account to play though the game will overwrite the save data with new data (to stop you buying expensive cars then sending them to your main account basically).

cheers - i hope it works properly and doesn't messeup up my progress.

Nurburgring is a lost cause to me, but I've bronzed the other two, and bronze is all you need to win the X2010. I think the new Seasonal Events are harder :eek:

Just won the Focus seasonal event... very nearly messed it up at the end but finished 2 seconds ahead of the RS. Phew :D
Edit: For anyone that needs help I used sports cat, aero front and back, 193mph on the gear ratios.

I don't think you really mean 193mph do you? :p I used 139 and the same set up but I just can't do it, I can't race on such terrible tyres coming from an F GT and X2010 :eek:

Yeah 193 :) It's a nightmare but with that setting I could do it, just!

Cant even bronze them so they are hard think the DS3 is the main let down for me wish I had room for a wheel, Now going to grind Suzuka 1000km and see how I go :)
 
An XJ-13? Fudging sweet!
Oh no.. they put stripes on it, it's RUINED
:mad:
The XJ-13 is an absolute work of art. Hey, check out this Monet I just got guys, I put racing stripes on it!

First thing I did when I got my chrome line 300 SL and Cobra was try to re-paint them. No luck :(

I have two proper XJ13's though, so I'm not too fussed by that :p
 
This confirms that Polyphony are in fact a bunch of "1000hp" Skyline loving, spinners and neons, don't-really-know-how-cars-work chavs. What's next, the aero kit available for most cars is a choice of 3 retarded looking carbon-finish rear wings? Oh wait.
No Saabs, No Ford Cosies, No Scoob cosie, cheating AI which magically catch up to you, not to mention ram you. It could be so much better.
Also, originally from the 'diff :D

Shirley you mean kph?
I'm fairly certain a Focus ST can't reach 193mph, especially not with the minimal modding you get for a seasonal event and your ratios should always be set so that you're on or near the limiter on the longest straight. amirite?

Welcome to the GT5 love/hate club :D

remember which forum youre posting on :p

i might do the mini challenge again to try and get that extra 90k, its a quick 5 laps anyway and i was sooo close last time
 
No P4/5, FFX, Dino, Miura roadster, Alfa GTV 3.2, Citroen DS, SM, Reliant Scimitar, Porsche 959 Rally Car (granted this is due to licensing or something?), Litchfield/Powerstation type-25 Impreza, 9-3 Viggen... and yet the floody Yaris makes it in, in several guises.

UK? YeaIkno. But some might have just left it in KPH by default, plus a lot of brit F1 drivers still talk in KPH, not to mention 193MPH in a Focus ST seems unrealistic.

I'm deadly serious, this is my serious face.... And don't call me Shirley.

Sorry, that was the main reason for quoting that :p

193km/h is ~120mph so that might make sense :) I used 130, so I'll try it with a lower ratio in a couple of days

The P4/5 is a one of, and if it was mine I wouldn't let any coders who don't shower near it :p it's the 40 or 50 MX-5s really irritate me. WHY? Where is the need? Its the same with the Skylines.

To me this game is missing the 037 Lancia, Quattro Rally Car, Sport Quattro. And for the lulz I'd also like the Hennessey VelociRaptor and Venom GT.

Someone also needs to drive an Elise and fix the handling :p
 
oh whut? now quattro rally car? I had just assumed it was in!
I'm pretty sure there are some decent renders and sketches of the p4/5 out there and it's basically an Enzo underneath, plus I believe the guy is a decent bloke. I can't find the submarine button on my esprit tho or the f-duct for the F10. Tell me the RB6 is in there hiding somewhere, I swear I saw it in a promo shot somewhere!

edit: The Elise is a pig isn't it!

Don't think its there :( Thats why my PC is gettng a major upgrade for Dirt 3, now that is a fun rally game, much better than the rally events in GT5

I think it is, not sure where, I thought you might win it for an A-spec race somewhere (I haven't won it yet at 29) The X2010 is now in my dealership so maybe I should find that and see if the RB6 is in there too.

Also where is my DB5 and 6, and where are their ejector seats? :p
