Peebee 0 Posted February 9, 2011 Happy to take that off your hands Steve if it's going spare? Bit short on nice German cars! That Chapparal is mental quick around Monaco! Think I need a strategy rather than just ability! Mr Bee, thanks for the Audi Touring - just blitzed the German races at Extreme level and you're right, it's a superb little beast! You need to gear your car right in to say a top speed of 130mph, force your way to the front then hold the position. I actually finished Monaco first time, I still really struggle with the deep forest one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still have the NASCAR Steve, Will return it after I've cracked the Pesky B-Spec NASCAR..Grrrrr Had to change the settings a fair bit for the b-spec mode, my ai driver kept ruining his rear tyres after 4 laps and spinning out on the twisty tracks and on Daytona would get in front then drop to last place in the last two laps ... bastrd! Managed to win it with the aid of this guide, the same settings also work well for a-spec http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/941103-gran-turismo-5/57796526 How do you win the Chapparal then?it's a right nightmare to get past, could be useful. Sadly they're not prize cars, you have to buy them from the used car dealership, they're pretty rare though, I've only seen them once and couldn't afford them at the time. The Toyota 7 race car can beat them easy enough when you tune the engine up, you'll get that for winning 'Like the Wind' in b-spec Another good thing about b-spec is you get given a red bull X2010 when you reach level 35 :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peebee 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Just a thought, can this thread be put in the sticky section? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Could do. Not really sure it needs attention though (reason for sticky). At least one of us tends to post here every day (or two at worst). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted February 10, 2011 The amount of salivating you're all doing over your virtual cars, I think it's sticky enough as it is in here... ;) I have GT5... and not wow'd by it yet. Perhaps I need some time to get into it. Or I'm just better at NFS... ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quicky1980 0 Posted February 21, 2011 I've just downloaded the latest updates to gt5, now the "chat" feature in the lounge wont work for some reason. Before I could voice chat to my mates while we raced etc but not anymore....any one else having the same issue or know how to resolve it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted February 27, 2011 I did but didn't have the Jag at the time so used the Toyota 7 to win it, my b-spec driver struggled even with that, he was ok around grand valley but really struggled to overtake round Monaco. It's one of those that you're better off leaving til they're a higher level. Well rado-steve is borrowing the Toyota 7 so you're left with the Ferrari, I just had a crack at it myself and won both races with it. Monaco was ruddy close though, had to adjust the transmission, suspension, aero & LSD to win it, even then I had a Chapparal up my chuff for the last two laps and had a heck of a battle staying in front, was like Senna vs Mansell years ago! It's great fun to drive though, I turn the aids off except traction control and ABS left on 1 it's a feisty old thing, beautifuly balanced though. You could always turbo it as well. One thing with those historical races I noticed, the starting grid is random so if you get the Chapparals near the front exit the race and load it again, if they get in first place they'll just disappear into the horizon, but the AI struggles with traffic so if you can get a few slower cars between you and them it's easy enough to win. Steve, what's your online ID? Mrcatfish? Forgot to gift you back the Ferrari and now I just want to make sure I'm gifting it to the right person!

steve_16v 0 Posted February 28, 2011 Steve, what's your online ID? Mrcatfish? Forgot to gift you back the Ferrari and now I just want to make sure I'm gifting it to the right person! It's purplemonkey79 Don't really play much anymore but had a quick look at the recent updates and seen they're stopping people gifting cars worth over 1m. Had a look on the net to see why and it seems there's a way of getting cars for free, if you copy your GT5 save file to a USB flash drive, start GT then send someone a car, you can then exit GT, copy your save from the flash drive back to the PS3 and hey presto you still have the car in your garage and your friend still gets the car. Essentially it's copying them. Give it a try and see if it works, ideally before the 3rd of March as that's when they're stopping people sending expensive cars Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted February 28, 2011 Ok cheers Steve, I'll get that back to you. I don't think I have a USB stick at home unfortunately. Will have to remember to bring one in from work if I get time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 0 Posted March 2, 2011 I don't mind borrowing the odd car here and there. Especially where progress is painful or you have to do something like buy a Lambo to win a Lambo race ... and the prize is another Lambo! Not sure I just want to steal cars though! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poll250 0 Posted March 2, 2011 The game can be quite annoying at times. I've only got the German Touring car, and Nascar events left to complete in Extreme but don't want to blow all my savings on the two cars to enter it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
