GT 5

Zero-Cool

If you got it 2nd hand then I would say it was def used and thrown out. Very rare a 2nd hand game has working DLC. I traded a game into hmv a few months back, can't remember which one, but i told the guy the dlc wasn't used but he still crumpled it up and threw it in the bin

Ordered the game yesterday and arrived today (Thanks Gamesnash!) Now to get stuck in!

little big planet 2

whats dlc

Zero-Cool

Dlc is downloadable content. Huge update as soon as I turned the game and gave me a toyota 86 as a starting car. Anyone recommend a good ff car for beginner series?

I f***ing love this game!!

The only racing game i play.

The 24 hour races are an absolute joy to play. It looks fantastic!

At the start I think I used a Used Honda Civic. Make sure you change the oil straightaway as you get a few extra horsepower.

And definetly have a look at www.gtplanet.net , It has everything and anything related to Gran Turismo on that site!

Ah crap, forgot about the civic. I won a Vitz and was using that, absolutely awful. The Toyota 86 GT is some car, will be using that as much as I can.

Are the 2nd hand cars in the used dealership completely random and do they change after every race?

Driving hippy vans around the top gear track is not fun

I unlocked that but giving the Special events a break for a while, I want to get through the beginner series and strat getting some proper cars. I would love a steering wheel setup for this. The in car view is class. Now, I just need to take the stabilizers off and turn on manual gears

Zero-Cool

Actually, I would love an Integra DC5 (Pretty sure they are in the game) Anyone have one that would like to swap me for a Vitz?

Wondering if anyone can help. I bought a Camaro SS to race in the classic races but it tops out at 115 mph and dips down to 112mph. This is topped in 4th gear and pieces of crap are passing me on the straight. Anyone know how to improve this? Seems a bit strange.

You need to buy a fully customisable transmission to change the top speed.Make sure not to raise it too high because you will sacrifice acceleration for top speed.I think it gives you 6 gears instead of 4 and costs 20000 credits but I could be wrong.Haven't played the game since last summer.


And on the topic of damage;It isn't very good especially on standard cars.

Thats a video of my Le Mans 24 hour last lap.The car eventually turned black from the damage.Not very realistic but I'd say it would be better on premium cars.

Ya read that alright but surely a stock Camaro SS can go faster than 115mph. Class vid, glad they added the save feature. The PS3 would probably blow up playing 24 hours straight.

I did it before they brought in the saves. I think 115 mph would be pretty realistic for a stock Camaro.My Shelby GT350 maxed out as around 120 before I customised it.

I remember when I got the game, the top gear track challenges were next to impossible and I gave up. Tried them again a few months later when I was better at it, they were easy!
All the american muscle cars need fully customisable transmission.

The game must be easy to start out on now with the big money seasonal events abailable, or DLC available to give you some savage cars straight away.

Ya it is a bit too easy at the moment. Toyota 86 and Integra DC5, I'm just burning through races. Kinda getting annoying how I have to go looking for certain types of cars like classic japanese cars and how the used dealership is so random. Plus hate backtracking and driving peieces of crap like the 'lightweight cup', just not fun. I'm finding myself skipping events and moving up series just to get back into proper racing.

Lot of money thrown at me so gonna get a dodge viper next and stick with that for a while.

You're better off looking at the PP of your opponents and race a similar car. Makes it better fun.
There is sites that tell you what's coming into the used car dealership. If you need to refresh it, just go into a race (i usually go into licence, go into the first one on a) and wait for it to load. They quit straight away back to the licence menu. That refreshes the used car dealership a day. Do it 3 or 4 times in a row.

Guys, any of ye have cool racing setups for GT5? Going to buy the Logitech GT wheel soon and was wondering where would be the best place to buy a racing bucket seat perhaps? Would I be better off making a stand or can you buy one somewhere in Ireland?

Any websites do the whole racing cockpit thing and deliver to Ireland?

Cheers.

I have the 24 hour Nurburgring race left to do and I am kind of dreading it. The Le Mans 24 hours took a while but at least I now know the circuit like the back of my hand.

Before I do that though I am going to conquer the Formula GT. I cannot get my head around that one at all

I have most of the endurance races done.Just the Nurburgring and the Suzuka one to do I think but I'm never going to finish them.I nearly died during the Le Mans race.368 laps of grueling repetitive boredom.Never again.

The Formula GT is pretty easy once you have a good car setup.I got a good one off GTPlanet and I won it no problem.

Anyone doing GT Academy 2012? It is going live today where it will be available to download from the PSN for free. You don't even need GT5 to play it. There will be a new round released every 2 weeks and you have to get gold in each round to move onto the next. You get unlocks to play in GT5 with bronze, silver or gold.

I got bored of GT 5 and gave up on it a while back but definitley gonna give this a go. I guess the rounds are gonna be fairly hard.
