Hmm, my grinder isn't working properly today, seems to keep cycling the 'loading race, reserving drivers, starting race, race ended' over and over

ive been having problems trying to run races from the GT5 website, so that could be causing some problems,

i've just been running races manulay from the ps3, that way i can select the drivers so i can paypack ones who have been racing my drivers.

shame the grinder dosent let you select, ive got people on my list who dont play gt5 much now but still have drivers shared and the grinder uses them which is a waste when it could be selecting one of you's
 
Just a reminder - I will only race your drivers if you race mine lol !!. If you're actively racing then add me and my drivers and I will race yours.

Must get every car. :)
I'm over 500 the Vertigo is the only unique (not an alternate livery) expensive car from UCD I need, then it's the F2007 and Miura then I'm just buying up odds and ends till there ain't no more to buy :D

Ahh I was wondering why you wanted a Vertigo, I red the earlier post and though why on earth would someone want to race with that :P

I just realised I wasted 4 mill on a car I win from A-spec le mans.. grr I thought it was the non playstation version you got from it.
 
Not even tried B spec yet.

But won the Audi R8 Race Car '01, christ it whips past everything. Have even lapped some cars on some courses. Is this one of the fastest cars in the game ?

Managed to roll it a few times which got me a 'rollover' award and i did the Nurenberg ring in 5.46 with it.

Brilliant speed

right just tried to add some of you on PSN, im kbkeith

trying to sort this B spec, got the widget thing, NO Idea how you use it. Do I need my PS3 on, on GT5 and on the remote race part ?

oh cannot log on at www.gran-turismo.com.

even though password same for ps3?

very odd

Formula Gran Turismo is much quicker, but the quickest in the game is the Red Bull x2010. I just got it for reaching B spec level 35.

I haven't managed to get Bronze in the 3rd Seb Vettal race yet, the first 2 were much easier.

Are you picking up the toilet cars as well then? E.g. I'm currently looking at some Scion xA, which is blatantly rubbish, but only because it's a Scion, and I don't have one of them yet

I'm still waiting for the Vertigo to show up :mad:
Will have to take a peek in online, haven't looked since the update but suspect I will have most of them. Reluctant to buy the Evo if I don't have it already (isn't it a prize car?) because, well, scoobys are better ;)
I am slowly cleaning up the less "must have" cars to keep my balance healthily modest. It's funny how some of them count as extremely rare (if you use MyGranTurismo) because so few people bother with them.

Slowing down for those corners definately helped RED, now just the horror of NASCAR to finish and the 2 24hr endurance and I am pretty much done.

NASCAR has been driving me crazy

Get the historic done? Otherwise I can probably set some appropriate cars to shared.

for the Nascar, turn off ASM, only slows you down, on the final race (Daytona ovel) it's forced on, the only way to disable it is to switch ABS off too (what? why?) but you don't even need to brake :D

EDIT: As for the ASA issue, the people who complained clearly need blunt trauma re-education.

If you're on about the NASCAR special events, in particular the 2 lap overtake challenge round Daytona. In one of the last patches they removed the ability to switch off ABS, you can only lower it to 1 now leaving ASM on :(
 
I'm not sure which event I'm talking about :D

I made a multiplayer room, please come play.

Clean racing, will vary PP regulations, mostly mid-range cars, road cars, N1 touring cars etc.

edit: helps if I post room number, it's 1472-4710-9995-5395-2047
 
Thanks to all the guys who have been racing my bobs, apologies if I haven't managed to return the favour as yet, have been home with the parents for a few days where the wifi was too ropey to even connect most of the time, but back at my place now, will be grinding away as before :)

Btw, my driver is a complete retard in the B-Spec Historic Cup at Cote D'Azur. Never fails to crash/get stuck at a tight corner. Unbelievable.
