VR6 0 Posted January 4, 2011 The pick up thing? you actually win a pick up on one of the races. I sold it for the £££ and didnt realise id need it. Cant seem to find one either. If anyone has one i can borrow feel free to send if over :D Sure, I'll fire one over in a bit. Which race is it you're trying? Pickups at Pro level? Just have the TV on at the moment so will try and play later. Does anyone know how the Online mode of the garage works? Does it allow online friends to use those vehicles rather than having to physically gift them over? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted January 4, 2011 Cheers Tom, i owe you. Not to worry if its not tonight as i cant get chance to get GT5 on, recently. Its for the Amateur pick up races and what ever other ones there is to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peebee 0 Posted January 4, 2011 I think the fun goes out of it when you have a stupidly fast car, takes the fun out of the race when you get first place from the start and pull away with ease after. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kempy 0 Posted January 4, 2011 I bought a chevvvy silverrado second hand for 90,000 for the truck race. I didnnt enjoy spending all that on it. I did spend 245,000 on a skyline from there though, Its fully Carbon and at 750BHP, it flys. I got a veyron, I done 254mph in it yesterday anybody gone faster? I won it quite quick, shame its not a premium though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted January 4, 2011 I think the fun goes out of it when you have a stupidly fast car, takes the fun out of the race when you get first place from the start and pull away with ease after. I agree whole heartedly tbh. Its got to be at least a little challenging. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kempy 0 Posted January 4, 2011 I try to play it without mods and add a little as poss. The best thing to add I find is a customisable gearbox, if Im getting annoyed. Easiest way to get credits atm is the seasonal events, mega credits there if you come 1st. Not too difficult either Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted January 4, 2011 Which ones Kemp and what's the tactic? Not really tackled any apart from the RX7 at Tsuksuba (sp?). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted January 4, 2011 Think you sent me the wrong car Tom, was after a pick up for the sports truck race on amateur Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1873 0 Posted January 4, 2011 Ive been hammering this myself over the past few nights, level 20 in A-spec & 14 in B-spec. now & Ive just got my hands on the Pagani Zonda R & the Veyron so now the fun can really begin :afro: Im toiling now with the wet weather challenges, need to keep it on the track but with enough pace & my style would be seen as a bit "Mcrae" :eek: :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted January 4, 2011 Think you sent me the wrong car Tom, was after a pick up for the sports truck race on amateur I think you're talking about the spare Shelby Cobra I gifted to you ... not been on to sort a truck out tonight. Unless someone else has...? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted January 4, 2011 oh yeah, sorry, forgot about that. No, still in need for a truck. Just tried the RX7 seasonal event race again, only managed 7th. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted January 4, 2011 Pretty annoyed really. Went to have a go at the london time trial 2. Limited to 246bhp. Bought an integra type r modded it and bought the correct tyres. Spent most of my cash doing it and i couldnt even get under a minute. I dont know how the leading player got 55.738 ??? so spent all that cash and could go any faster then 1:01 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kempy 0 Posted January 4, 2011 i will not probs, I want it back in the same condition though lol.. PS the seasonal events cars need upgraded gearbox's or you got no chance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted January 4, 2011 i will not probs, I want it back in the same condition though lol.. PS the seasonal events cars need upgraded gearbox's or you got no chance ah, thanks for the tip Ryan. Shame ive no cash left to get it upgraded. WIll have to do some more races to ge the cash. The hour or so i spent on the game, 90% of the time i spent choosing and tuning a car or staring at a loading screen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The big bucks early on is in the Special Events. You need to level up to unlock them but once you are able to compete in them, do it. The world rally one will get you well over 100K and you get to test drive 5 different supercars :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stretch. 0 Posted January 5, 2011 The loading screens really narked me off, in forza if I choose the wrong race or track while flipping through, no biggie, it takes me to an intermediary confirmation screen before loading. GT5? Click- LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD - back - LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD eurgh. fail. Why even bother installing to hdd if it's gonna throw this at me! bah. Other than that, I seem to be somehow doing allrightish... had to set it to forza style controls as buttons for accel and brake just don't give me enough control.
