« on: January 01, 2011, 07:19:48 pm »
Anyone else annoyed with it yet? Absolutely raging trying to di the Loeb wrc chAllenge in the special events bit. Can't so the snow one and took me ages for the eiger stage.
Also I keep having to buy cars, tune , do 2 races in them then I have no money left to progress to the next championship, bit like real life lol!

I'm level 15 nearly 16. Where's everyone else at?

Frustrating at times but that's part of the addiction for me....  :xmassmiley:

The Loeb rallying wasn't too bad in the end, but having a mare with the last Jeff Gordon challenge at Daytona.  Need to do it so I don't have to spank 500k credits on a new NASCAR.   :sad:

Currently nearing the end of level 21, and should do it when I've completed the AMG challenges on the 'Ring.

Have to say im a bit dissapointed in GT5 - Bought the PS3 last week just to play it. i honestly think that Forza 3 is the better drivers game.

Additionally the Top Gear test track - VW Campers WTF???

Turn off abs for nascar you will find it easier  to come first  :happy2:

Currently level 25 myself  :innocent: and unlocked the endurance races... Did a 60 lap race took 2hrs03 and only got 160000 points so not doing that again in a hurry

New fav ride is my vertigo race car - 900bhp and 700 kg on softs is just rapid, but saving up for that gt f1 car available in the on-line garage - 4.9m

Game just gets better and better
GTI Edition 30 - Reflex Silver now gone but not forgotten - Cooper S JCW now.

Your not joking with the seasonal events! Just got over 100k for 5 laps round Madrid! And then more for a fiat 500 round Tsukuba! Just done the final of the karts. Back to the snow challenge now! It's so hard, is it easier with a controller? I'm on a wheel  :driver:

Those Seasonal events are ace. All except the Mazda RX-7 394bhp Tsukuba one.

I can't complete that for love nor money. I have bought and tuned 4 diff RX-7 and cannot get past 7th  :sad1:

I've done the other 9 races in Bonus 1 and Bonus 2 and made quite a tidy sum. Currently I'm level 19 which aint bad considering I only got it as an  :xmaspresent:

Yea im stuck on that RX7 one aswell.

Im on a wheel too, watched a few videos on GT planet, think the trick is not to go to side ways. Quickest ive done is 4:20:203 :fighting: :fighting: :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:

I'm struggling with some of the classic car races as i can't seem to find any cars to buy.

I must say the seasonal races are good as im now on level 20 with plenty of money.

On the old GT there were a couple of easy races you coul do to earn a car that was worth big money?  Any on GT5 and how do you reset your trophy count on a particular race?

I think its a great game, but how do you get a Truck to compete in one of the races? Dodge Ram or similar?
