***The Official Gran Turismo 5 Thread***

Formula GT is insane (on the right track)

Its wonderful on something like Tokyo 246 (or whatever that track is called lol), the grip is just immense, but its a complete ***** nightmare on the full Nurburgring imo - does surprise me how little grip there is on the latter in comparison (personally think something strange has been programmed into that combo, it just feels like a totally different car)

Won with ease 4 out of 5 championship races, but cant do better than 9th around the ring (obviously won the champ, but that position looks so out of place - Im just getting bored of the other 4 races lol)

The track is so narrow at the Ring that it makes life really difficult.

Anyone have the Sauber race car (C9) - trying to win like the wind with my b-spec and having troubles - someone suggested this car - any other thoughts?

Formula GT?
Minolta Toyota 88C-V you win from A-Spec Like The Wind?

I think I used a FGT and won it first time, just be sure to change the gear ratios to max speed of 260mph or so on the oval.

It's not so much the grip but it can be an insanely fast track and it's just a case of knowing the limits of the car for each corner. After doing the vettel challenge in the x2010 you soon get used to taking those corners correctly

I have a 400R but I don't think it's an LM car, it is just a tuned GTR R34 I think in silver without decals or spoiler, are there more?

Got a loan of a Toyota 7, got gold first time around on the first race of the historic race car race, after spinning out and going into 12th place :o

Can't for the life of the get gold on the Monaco track :( got silver 4 times, closest was 5 seconds behind first place :(

I don't need anything in return, my wish list are all cars that cost millions or are very rare.

I can't send any car today so I can try to send it to you after midnight GMT if I am still awake by then as I live in The Netherlands so that would be GMT+1 (I think the send limits reset a midnight GMT)

My PSN name is Ollie_NL, I can't remember if you are on my friends list, what is your PSN name?

I think I did it in a Chapparal 2J which, I think, is a little bit faster than a Toyota 7.

Also have you adjusted the gear ratios lower so you get better acceleration?
And have you incresed downforce to maximum?

I've started doing the second level of Nascar Special events, damn they're not easy! I think using a wheel would definitely make it a bit easier!

Not a bit easier try stupidly easy to gold them first time with a wheel.

if using a pad turn the ABS off for some reason even tho you don't need to brake hardly it speeds the car up :confused:
