Been playing for hours now.. I'm level 13 now, got my Type R NSX and EK Civic Type R, all souped up !

i dont sign on because psn slows down gt5 (i wonder if treyarch helped polyphony lol). But ill come online from now on since your on. And your so far ahead too. I am level 9, but i completed all licenses up to IC-10, did some of the special challenges and completed some beginner races.

My car is 98 Civic Type R as well lol.

sick drift trial

How do you get a car to complete the beginning classic challenges? I can't find any to buy

I'm surprised my old crusty logitech wheel from the ps2 days still work for ps3. I think using a wheel is actually harder to play than controller, but it's more fun

just skip them and keep doing other challenges and licenses. You should eventually be able to win an alfa romeo (model?) from the generic italian series that will let you compete in the other classics. And to compete in the generic italian race use the maserati gt that you win from another race (forgot which one).

EDIT: for the 80's japanses race use the race prepped motul civic you win from (fr?) challenge.

lol yeah you cant go lock to lock as fast as a controller but wheel is more fun and precise for holding lines and acceleration in corners. Try the jeff gordon nascar challenge and youll see what i mean.

this site has got recommended cars to use for the races:

u guys get gold in your licenses?

I had a tough time getting silver, took me a good hour

really? i find it easier using a wheel
i used my friends drive force, its not as good as the G25 or G27 but its good
the only harder thing about using a wheel, to me is shifting. it makes drifting a whole new thing

zuey you gotta play with me and rizzo sometime, lots of fun
drifting and drag races, playing for pink slips and parts lol
rizzo actually beat me yesterday so i owe him a silvia S13, better then his crap stock car lol

^ what exactly is the point in going online for gt5?

can we party up and go into pub lobbies and race others for their cars or smth?

online is just for fun
but there are a bunch of forums and websites based on competitive driving
people race for pink slips, parts, and some people make drift teams
other than that, its also just a place to brag and show off your car and skills
what we were doing was just free roaming
people make rooms like cross country racing and dirt road rally's
you need skill to do the cross country races, mess up a turn and your done for the whole race

oooh we should do dirt road rally's

hey is the s13 you're giving me enough to win FR challenge in beginner?

I tried the sileighty and I can't win the 2nd race, the 350z keeps whooping my ass

yea it should be
and i got the 350z yesterday just because i read its the easiest car to drift
not the nissan version though, mine is the mercury and its a little heavier and tougher to shift the weight to get the car to slide. anyway
i got some money to spare, i can make the car lighter and add lvl 1 turbo for you

thanks moneybags

how much money do u have?

I've got like 40k. I'm saving up for the dodge challenger so I can win some classic cars for the classic races. I like to finish all the races in one class before moving on to the next

right now i have like 60 k cause i just bought the 350z and a mustang, i forgot whats it called though and never used it. i think the challenger is around 70k. but its easier for me to make money so dont worry. a professional race can give you 10+ k if you win

btw do u have a lambo?

I want to borrow one to win the 74 countach - I'll give it back when done

nope, i didnt even do that circuit
a used lambo at its cheapest is a used one with over 40k milage on it
and its still expensive, i usually see it for around 120k at its cheapest
i saw a car for 15 mil lol

thats insane

so u didnt finish the euro classic beginner? or did u use another car

oh euro classic, yea i finished that, i thought you were talking bout the italian one for AM circuits. i used a berlinette coupe to finish it. i think thats what i used. its a concept car and
way to fast for the cars your up against. il lend it to you tonight if you want, but you cant get the silvia if i send you it. only 1 delivery per day

can we use each others cars if we upload them to the online garage?

wait wait.. berlinette? I have that too, it's one of the unlocked cars in beginner challenge

i dont think so, you can pick all cars in online anyway

rizzo i dont know what car i used for the euro challenge but im pretty sure it was a coupe

Hommell Berlinette coupe? that car is a lightweight beast. I think you get it from completing one of the licenses.

Is there an option in online mode to limit the classes of the cars so there's no race cars aside from HP limit?

I like supping up normal cars to race online but it would suck if some chump comes in with a formula 1 race car and destroys my shit
