    This is also an issue I see happening. People selling prize cars. I'll have something by the end of today for specs for the next race.

    The go-kart race was more fun in my mind, as it was a drivers race instead of finding the feather-weight car to race with. Although the rest of us that didn't have a Tommy ZZ would have been hosed had Sheen not turned around and caused a 3-car pile up in the center of the track... For the rest of the 7 of us, it was a good race.

    The gokart race I thought was worthless. The real racing took place in the first race.

    Bummed I missed last night.

    On another note, the last "expert" go-cart race is pissing me off beyond believe. I don't know why buy I just simply can't get around the track without being purposely ran into. I also can't figure out that when I do get in first and hold a lead for a lap, all of a sudden 2nd place will come flying past me as if he drafted me from a laps distance away.

    Welcome to GT5's BS AI drivers. There are numerous moments in this game that make me wonder if they actually play tested this stuff to ensure it was fun to play. On the Expert kart races, on the first race, I got stuffed into a wall on 5 consecutive starts. I tried everything to keep from getting run into, but they made a point to hammer me into the wall. When I finaly did get past them and into 1st, I had the same thing happen to me with the 2nd place flyby on lap 4. I ran consistant laps off by hundredths of a second each time, and had a decent lead going, then as I'm getting near the finish line for lap 4, he comes buzzing in out of nowhere and passes me like I'm standing still. Followed shortly by 3rd place, who shoved me off the track and caused me to spin out. I quit playing after that.

    Also, some of the licensing tests. I have had about all I can handle of B License 6 where you do that downhill into a right hand turn on the Nurburgring GT track in that ****ing Renault. I got within .036 of gold on it, and I honestly don't see how that car can do it any faster than I did. I can't even repeat what I did. I have golds on all the other tests in B. But that one just seems impossible.

    It's called "cheating". Racing video games have been doing it for years.

    It's called really ****ing annoying. I tried the last expert cart race at least 30 times. I rarely ever get pissed off playing video games but that race really angers me. I just don't see how every other go-cart race is easily beatable on the first or second try (unless you spin out). This race is just on another level for me.

    Oh and readymix.. the license tests are a pain in the ass!

    On both B and A licenses, I have one part that I can't seem to get gold on. The "Shumacher S" test A-8 I believe, with the BMW is absolute crap. There is no way I can shave another .150 off my time. I've tried every trick I can think of to eek out that last 1/8th second. And I missed B-6 now by .002 seconds. .00****ing2. 2 hundredths of a second. Just give it to me for ****s sake.

    For those who want to know a shortcut to cycle the used car lot, pm me... Or I can post spoiller about it. I spent 2 weeks looking for a ruf until I noticed a pattern with the used lot and figured out a short cut.

    jason, we could also just pick a reasonably priced car from the new dealership for everyone to use. If for whatever reason someone can't afford it I'll buy it and gift it to them. I've been farming 1mil credits a night grinding through the nascar races and buying up cars I want in the game.

    Not anymore. I have 2 of each RUF. One stock, one fully modded lol.

    I didn't post the spoiler last night bc I was on my phone and couldn't hide the text. Here's the spoiler (scroll down) if you wanna read it) for how to cycle the used car lot:

































    So basically anytime you see the load screen (with the blue status bar), 6 new cars show up in the used car lot. At first I would just enter a race then exit until I realized the license tests also cycle the used lot. So if you've already medaled in 6 license tests what you can do is
    1) enter the license test (you'll see the load screen)
    2) at the start screen, click on the advance arrow to go to the next test that you've already completed (you'll see the load screen again)
    3) do this until you've seen 6 load screens total and the used car lot will be completely fresh. It takes about 5 minutes to do this.




    finally got my rs200 this way!

    LOL.... this "hide the text" only works if you don't have the dark skin on the forum :) If you are like me with the Dark Theme... the text is more bold!



    Awesome trick.

    I think any event you actually enter will set 6 new cars into play. Even if you start it, just to quit it. Another easy one to race for $17,000 is the Supercar Festival @ Daytona. 3 short laps, at high speeds.

    yeah, that's what I was trying to say in the first sentence. It's just a ton faster (and less clicks) to use the license tests since you don't have to "go home" or exit out of that series and wait for the GT load screen.

    Has anyone else completed the "S" License? I got to the LFA race, and every time I get into 2nd or 1st, the game freezes! Damn you Polyphony for screwing me over every damn time! I was gonna get gold!

    This is a race modifiable car right? Might want to clarify that you can't race mod it. I assume aero is ok though right?

    So I've built this thing three ****ing times and it has reverted back to stock each time (though kindly keeps the credits spent).

    I'm not building it a fourth. Guess I'm out.

    Meh, my first attempt at online play ended poorly. Spent 20 minutes trying to solve a "network incompatibility with room host" error. Phooey on it, watching Top Gear. Good choice.

    It's alright, I pretty much dominated anyway. :)

    Not having to screw around with a headset keeps my concentration going on the race better.

    Not sure what the problem is with the network thing.

    Surlyoldman, when you're done doing the car building, save your game. I have a few cars that I've gone to race them and all the stuff I purchased was gone. And yes, I lost the credits too.

    Chux, check what the PS3 is reporting your NAT type to be. NAT type 3 wont connect or may be refused connections by hosts.
