I'm at like 1.6% baby!

Oh and I did Sunday Cup again and bought an R34 VSpec. BTW, what's the N-1 version? I can't see difference specs wise but stupid Japanese car makers lie on their ratings for that old "handshake agreement."

I bought and souped up a stock 06 M5 and that thing is a beast! I'm going to turn it into a full out race car once I get to the extreme level of the game... but that thing is a beast...

you never have to do an oil change on the F1 car - it never loses power. funny thing is, you can't change the tires either - its stuck on race - medium. you can put on supersoft's in arcade mode though.

I posted some new pics of the F1 in the Photo Mode thread

it was created by Famine over at GTPlanet... here is the original thread.

gtplanet forums is a great place for everything gran turismo... they talk about everything from b-spec points to doing laps with the 1885 Mercedes Wagon (46 mins around that one track with a LONG straightway w/ 2 chicanes ).

gtplanet.net is a great place. But not its forum. TOO MANY KIDS AROUND.

"Where is my Vette C6?"
"What is 1080i?"
"How to win this/that car?"

Yea, I hate kids.

no he surely did, unless he is like the Terminator or something lol - you can get a silver or bronze, and then you can go back and get gold.... the medal listing will only show the best medal you got - the total the amount of license tests is 80 - (5 licenses, 16 tests each)... it will only show the total amount.

Gotcha.

Man I'm just B-Speccing a shitload of races now. I'm such an ass that I didn't know you can change ASM without buying something first. I move rear to 2 clicks higher for more oversteer and the car drives like a dream. I shaved off like 10 secs off my times.

German Touring Championship is a hell lot better than this. You can make 880k credit in 15 mins.

i like this one...

I do the the Japanese events and the first one... and do the 5 race thing... but that takes forever... you can get about half of what MSZ said... but the 880K in about 15 min... that sounds cool...

thanks for the tips...

BTW: i need only 2 more licenses... IA and the rally one...
