I noticed you get penalty's for drafting someone else or if someone else drafts you.

The penalty for being drafted is stupid. I can understand it in multiplayer to stop people being pushed along, but it does it in SP too!
I prefer the 360 CS. I've got one tuned to A598 and while it's ~5mph slower in a straight line, it monsters the corners. It's great fun getting an awesome exit to a corner and slipping passed people.

exactly what i do. i have a few cars i love but they just get bounced off the circuit. now i roll around in my 99 dodge viper and everyone just bounces off me
.Maybe im missing something but in doing the current Time Trials here can some understand the following:
It seems you can not select a track and then select a specific type of car to find out the leaderboards for that car and then if within the top 100 download a ghost and save it to race against.
Yes you can get car class leaderboards per track but my goodness if a glorified demo of GT5P allowed this surely then FM3 full game has to have it included?
Additionally is their no way of forwarding a ghost to a mate to say try this?
Storefront allows pics videos stats etc but does it allow ghosts to be shared?
Tell me ive missed something...

Noticed that myself, thought I was just being blind. You do a kick ass lap in a low performing car and it doesnt seem like you can compare other peoples times in that car on that track.
All I ever see is Peugot 908s everywhere!
As far as I remember they've never had a section for seeing the fastest car per track, its always been per class. Its probably something simple that could be added and perhaps someone should suggest it on the official forums?

I had a really nice Clio Sport which was a nicely balanced C or B class (I can't remember).
I put every single upgrade I could on it and spanked about 90k, only for it to become so powerful that to drive it you have to be concentrating 110% the WHOLE time

I think the hardest problem with doing that, is that people mod their cars. So if they could show only Stock car laps, that would be good
Cheers dude.
ps: Did you send me that car, coz I was looking everywhere for it and can't see where it is?

I'm stil enjoying the game, but the rubberband AI is starting to nark me a little. One race last night round one of the big ovals, I was over 6 secs ahead of the nearest rival. One wide corner later, the nearest car is under my bumper again. Admittedly, it's not as bad as some games, but it does break the immersion somewhat.
Also, had to swap my VX220 to something a little more rugged, as using it in the C-class champ races, I kept getting squashed.

Thats a real bummer tbh and no ability to share ghosts is annoying me so much I may be forced to write to my local MP.
So you're saying you made a mistake, and that lost you time?
omg. That's awful AI
Making even a small mistake on an oval can result in a big loss of speed and you will quickly get reeled in.
For those moaning about being punted off by AI cars, watch the replay. 9/10 times you'll see that you actually caused the accident by getting in their path. I was getting annoyed with that at first but I soon realised it was my fault. Bear that in mind before moaning about the AI.
You can see what you will be racing at before going in - just press Y over the event. If you're finding it too easy up the difficulty
oohhh ok thank you, I hadnt realised
Just add me on xbox live (timbrad) and gift me your car (my cars > a on the car you want to send [Can't be in it at the time] gift car, choose me) and when I get it I'll work it to be more usable and send it back on over, keeping it in the class it was in when you sent me.
I think Ive spelt your username wrong on Live, so will amend when Im home (Im Hugo1971 when you get the invite) and then I will gift that awkward sob of a car lol if the offer is still available
On another note - I have just passed lvl30 and started doing drifting and noted a few things
1) Im in the middle of some races which have heats - and while Im getting the 1000+ drifting points on a single drift I am not getting the prize for doing so when the heat has finished and I cant work out why. Im definitely completing the drift without hitting anything (wall or opponant) and due to the tracks I cant go off course either (due to rocks/high walls etc) - do you have to do a 1000 pointer in every drift to get the credit (cant think what MS call it, but Ive found where its listed and while I have rows and rows of successful badges this one is still greyed out)
2) Ive noticed that seemingly you cant drift if you rewind - has anyone noticed the same? Admittedly Ive only tried with a Fiesta Zetec, but with the heats I re-run the same track and on certain corners I can get good drifts going on the first run, but wit using rewind to test I cant drift again (or at least get any points for it)

Just got this game this morning.
Hmmm what's the word to describe it...
EPIC!!!
I prefer GT games aswell so if Gran Turismo is better which imo it normally is, then I'm gonna be one very very happy chappy

Do you mean the Drift Achievement? If so, I believe you need to get 100,000 points in one lap.

glad to see you got it, we'll have to race later - although i'm crap lol.
I've just bought the official 360 steering wheel today but have to use it on my knee atm - which isn't ideal, first impressions though is i need to get used to it, first time i've used a wheel on any platform other than real driving lol. Gives decent feedback though.
