Pit Stop?
Man, I know I'm late to teh Caddy Cien party....but does anyone find that this car is SERIOUSLY bouncy and stiff? I've literally bounced off the road a few times....
Also, note to self: The CLK-GTR was not meant to go down very narrow European streets (Special Events 1)

Lightweight + great handling is the key, RX-7, NSX-S/Zero/R, Evo, STi etc. are recommended for Citta di Aria.

@ pulling an AP
To complicate things it was the first time I'd ever driven the car, much less with it upgraded to 1000HP
It FLIES!

uhm, initially, no. Try and racing with it the first few laps is like learning how to drive for the first time. It adds to the fun factor and also it mimics real life so once you learn the relationship between steering input and car action you can drive at the limits much better = better laptimes....easier? no.....better fun, better driving results yes....

u think it's easier? how? you have to turn the steering wheel alot to get it to turn the same with a controller the movement is only a few MM.

Wow they made it harder. I noticed how they made the turning more real. I have to re-learn this game completely. Even the tracks look different too me with these awesome graphics. I had to turn off ASM on Arcarde mode too.

what car should i use for the beginner lightweight k class? I bought some used suzuki alto edition car/van/cr-v thing and it only had like 57 horsepower or something. I even put a stage1 turbo kit in there and upped it like 30 hp, but I was still getting spanked.
Anybody else have trouble building up money in the beginning?

I've only done licenses so far. 2 questions:
1. Can you unlock tracks in arcade mode like in the last 3?
2. Does it have the lists to tell you which car is eligible for the race in like 3?

AHH, thanks. Looks like I need to be doing more things in the game. I only have 13% completed, so I can not enter the endurance events just yet.

it seems that you unlock all tracks in GT mode only. However I am not 100% sure since I have only been playing GT mode - I do know this, I have all tracks unlocked in arcade mode. It seems that the way this game is setup, you unlock everything in GT mode (cars included) and then they become available in arcade mode.
and for your final question, yes and no. the game does a good job of telling you what you have to change if your car doesn't meet a requirement such as tires or country of make. However, for certain races it will list certain cars you can use, and then say "etc" - I don't see any way of figuring out what's included in this "etc" group, short of getting in a car and trying to enter the race. This sucks cuz for example, in the Schwarzwald Liga A race in European Events, I bought a 330i and modded it up thinking I needed to do that.... I didn't. After I enter the race, I notice there is an M Coupe in the lineup . Anyway that was annoying. Honestly the M Coupe is not in the same class as the other cars in that race, so that's BS. But they had the Z4 as eligible too so I dunno... anyway.... happy GT4'ing!!
