i still need to get my super license, but im gonna get the wheel possibly tomorrow so ima start then
Thats what the 7000-mark so special about, my driver is now able to pass other cars on a straight road.

Its FR. Front engine, Rear wheel drive. That draws the line between a GT car and a super sportscar like Ferrari.

Because it so Bentley-like, its handling is so bad on most tracks.

And its the polyphony formula GT car and wait so it comes in different colors? i was surprised when i saw it in orange too but its a nice color

right now ive finished the beginner hall, almost done w/ the professional hall (cant seem to win the last race series but will be able to now w/ the F1 car) the american hall, japanese hall and a few of the one-make races and endurance races. mission 1-10 for the mission hall, halfway done w/ the easy section for the special condition hall, and starting on the european hall
yes F1 car comes in I think 7 different colors. now that you won it, if you go into Arcade Mode, and scroll all the way to the right under Japanese cars, you will see Polyphony Digital listed - this is the F1 car. If you choose it, you can cycle through and choose any of the colors for use in arcade mode.

MSZ why don't you get an F1 car? just Bspec the 24Hr race at the Ring and leave your PS2 running overnight!! you fool!!! hell I did this twice, because I wanted a different color F1!! I got the yellow/black one, I like it better than the red.

you mean you turn your computer off each and every night, after you're done using it? do you have an alarm clock? what's it run on, vegetable juice??? do you ever use any heat or air conditioning? do you turn that off too when you go to sleep???

Just from memory, here are the F1 cars:

there is a car modeled to look like the McLaren/Mercedes (silver/black), Buzzin' Hornets (black/yellow), a blue/white, lavendar/white (you don't want this color, lol), red, black, white, blue, green/yellow (I don't like this color either, this is the same color F/094S I had in GT3), and maybe 1 or 2 more.

You can cycle through all the colors (and race with them too) by doing this:

go into Arcade Mode, and scroll all the way to the right under Japanese cars, you will see Polyphony Digital listed - this is the F1 car. Choose it and cycle through and choose any of the colors for use in arcade mode.

you can give it more power in Arcade Mode, I think it goes up to 1069hp or so. You can also lower the weight - do those things and you get a car from hell. I took it to the Ring and wiped out about 4 times just because I was going so damn fast - it's like your in a timewarp - and I still ran a 5:19.

You can't do this in GT mode - a bit puzzling, considering how real life F1 cars have a varied set of tires they use for varying races - but you can choose tires in Arcade mode. But honestly though, running the F1 car with medium tires still gives you an awesome machine - I mean, it's not like you are sacrificing a lot by having to use medium tires only.

yea I like never play rally... it does kinda suck in GT4. Of course, I didn't play it much in GT3 either. There are games dedicated to rally that are way better than GT... such as Colin McRae, WRC, etc. etc.

Yes, I turn off anything I can before I sleep.

Heat isn't one of those things.

Its still better than leaving it on for 24 hours. Thats even worse IMO.

But since my Grand Wega has PIP, I can watch TV programs while I monitor the race.

oh. it's hard to tell on the intarweb sometimes.

on another note, here's a rather humorous thread over at GTplanet about real life racing vs. GT4 or other sims. Apparently GT4 was tested on Fifth Gear by Tiff Needel and Kazunori (creator of GT series) - there are links on the page for BT downloads for the episodes..

6:46 at the Ring with a CLK Touring Car (not GTR) Stage 4 more or less 750hp. Worth bragging about?

What is the logical progression of the licenses?

B -> A -> iB -> iA -> S
or
B -> iB -> A -> iA -> S

Ok, that's the progression I'm following. Although, I've found iB to be easier than A. That's why I asked.
