GT5

I got to level 21 yesterday

like the wind challenges are no problem for the corvette. If you guys are not using the wheel, control the steering carefully on the indy because you dont want to overturn. You don't need to apply the brakes, just go full speed.

...time to start grinding on that indy!

nascar type races?

nascar track but with race cars, not left turning boxes

I beast on nascar

I'm sure you do, it's an innate skill

Hey now, I can't help that.

Finally got my formula GT on saturday

what a pain in the butt - but it is super fast, even letting bob drive it he laps the supercars in a race that he couldnt win in the RM corvette

Update Notice (1.05)

A new update has been released for Gran Turismo 5.
The main contents of the update are as follows:

Seasonal Events
[Seasonal Events] have been added to the upper left side of the [GT Mode] - [GT Life] screen. From here you can participate in official online events from the Polyphony Digital team. In these events, all participants under the same regulations, and if you complete the event you will win rewards and experience. In Time Trials and Drift Trials, compete on the leader boards with players around the world.

Online Dealership
An [Online Dealership] has been added to the left center of the screen. In here you will find popular and rare used cars. You might just come across that one car you've always been looking for, that you haven't been able to find in the used car dealership.

Online Race Rewards and Experience
When you complete a race in the open lobby or my lounge, you will now gain rewards and experience points. Therefore if you are focused more on playing online, you'll still be able to gain rewards and levels that you need to progress in GT Life.

Driving Distance and Number of wins in Online Races
The driving distance and number of wins you achieve when you complete a race in Open lobby or My lounge will now affect your stats in Profile and the Garage. Here again the results from your online play will cumulate within GT Life

Improved Rewards
The rewards for winning races in Both A-Spec and B-Spec in GT mode- GT Life have been increased for a limited time only. This applies until the end of January 2011. This is a great chance for those who were previously have difficulties getting ahead in the game, due to lack of funds for tuning and purchasing required cars.

Race Information Display

Save Data Backup
You can now copy and restore your save data. For details please refer to the in-game Manual

Well im about to get rich then

i'd take the mclaren, but why buy it in the 1st place?

ur corvette / gtr combo will win you everything you need until you get your formula GT

I hate the gtr. I like my viper better, it has amazing agility and 1012 hp for 100,000 plus tuning. And I want to buy cars since it's easy double money

I just got 59.003 on the high speed ring... So close!

we should do a race between ur viper and my gtr and make you see the light

btw I already broke into the 58s mark with my gtr with some fine tuning

The gtr feels to heavy. My Mercedes feels better and takes off faster.

^ I'll pretend I didnt read that

A gtr 07 right?

no, spec V '09. It costs about double the price of an 07

its all about time trials
in races everyone just tries to kill eachother

^ yes thats what makes it fun

btw, if you guys are playing right now, with 1.05 you can backup your game data. so possibly you could make duplicates of your cars:

1) create fake psn
2) backup game data
3) gift your cars to fake psn
4) delete game data
5) restore game data
6) use fake psn to gift car back to yourself

?? I can't see how PD didn't figure this out, but I dunno how else backup game data would work if this wasnt allowed

never played gt5 in a whille
so im takin theres double cash for races now?

Yep. It's amazing! Divina I got present I want to give you. So you can drift better

yay, thanks barger
i've been so busy lately and prob wont be playing this whole break,
maybe even until mid january
