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

I've done all the endurance races on B-Spec (hah!) and all of them on A-Spec apart from the last 2 24 hour races.

The other endurance races aren't a problem, just use the X-2010. for the 9 hour race you only need to race for about 5 and a half hours since by then you will have built up such a lead they won't be able to catch you. I just took breaks throughout it whilst leaving the race running.

Nice one mate, I'm only 500 behind you:p I was actually thinking of culling my car list down to about 150, then trying to get them all painted the same colour so that my whole garage matches!

You've inspired me to do something differant than just trying to buy all the cars, and I thought that'd be quite unusual, and hard too - finding 150 of the same colours should prove interesting! I'll leave any race cars stock though, couldn't repaint my 190E Touring car!

No kidding that will be hard, I'm now going through my standard car collection and replacing any car I've driven so that my set is 0/0 in that respect.

Also found a few cars above 20k miles so replacing them, not to many though.

I'm only missing 9 cars that need to be purchased from the premium set, although they are pretty expensive - I should get it done within the week.

Iirc there were some cars that were available as DLC with pre-orders from a certain online retailer, 'stealth' paint job models? Were these exclusive, or do they eventually appear in the UCD at some point?

Yeah the DLC cars are just that, DLC only redeemable via codes you enter online. The don't appear in the Used car dealership at all.

It's a bit of a shame, but you can still find these codes to purchase on sites like eBay.

edit: rain forest people did a preorder stealth car, but the full expensive GT game package (Called the Signature Edition) contained 6 stealth cars.

Hey guys I should be getting this within the next week or so. Last time I played it was before a few of the updates. I hear that you can now share multiple cars instead of gifting them? And you can also remotely race your B-Spec drivers? Are there any others updates worth mentioning or? :)

Car sharing makes lending cars out for just one race much easier than having to gift. Them, then waiting for it to be returned. The seasonals are paying out monster money at the moment, I actually got to 20million credits for the first time, with no real effort.

Are you starting again, or do you still have your old save game?

Awesome. I remember when it first came out I must have been playing at least 12 hours a day on this to 100% the events. It's gonna be fun on my new PSN ID that's for sure. :D
 
Tempted to back up my save, and start from scratch, or create a new account on my PS3 and start a new save on it so that I can always raid my main account for cars when I need one.

I did that before they introduced the Seasonal Events and it feels good progressing through the game again. I'm a bit of a neat freak when it comes to my garage too. Just read the last part of your post and I'll be starting from scratch btw. :)
