I'm just waiting for mine to learn how to late brake into a corner! Actually I think mine is in trouble there's only one lvl12 race for me to do and I need a few thousand points to get to lvl 13 and I don't think he's going to get it in that race. he might not be able to advance to the next level.....

some shots from tonite - mine is the black SLS - uploaded these straight from the PS3 to facebook - pretty good quality and sharp, I was expecting worse.

thx Yohan...

wtf guys, last night when I was playing, I got on Daytona 3-lap, to win 18k... I ran the Ring lap, to get 18k. after both of those races, the only thought in my head was "this is such a waste of time".... I need cheat codes, guys. I can't do this the 'long' way. I don't have the time.

There's a few tracks which I just farmed cash and to level up. They were short and gave good cash...Might've missed some. But these stood out.

Level 11 Supercar Festival - Daytona - 3 laps - 17.3k
Level 13 British Lightweights - London - 3 lap - 24.1k

I forget what I did from 13-20... I think this is where I thought "wow that's all the cash I got from that?" and kept doing London over and over.

Level 20 - Schwardzwald League B - Nurburgring - 1 lap - 59k
Level 21 - Like the Wind - Indy - 5 laps - 70k
Level 22 - Euro Championship - Rome 5 laps - 83k.

the 2 lap challenges are TOUGH. here are some pics from tonight - the ZR-1 is nice, not as good handling as I thought it would be though, but I haven't tuned it yet.

I've been doing more bspec than aspec over the past week. Now that I have three drivers, one is lvl 14 and the others are both lvl 5 now, I'm racing the noobs on the lvl 11 Super car daytona track and getting points real fast. I put them in the Furai and even when they were lvl 0 they could finish the race in 1st. So they went from lvl0 to lvl2 on their first races then from 2 to 3 the next time and then from 3 to 5. So three races each and they're already lvl 5.

why do you have 3 bspec drivers? Any advantage.

I just did my first bspec race, I put the driver in the 800hp ZR1 at autumn ring mini. Lol. It was pretty funny to watch his first time out, I'll see if I can post a video.

seems like each driver has it's own condition (ie when you are selecting driver, they have arrows on the top right)

and i also heard there are some races that the driver take turns (probably those 24h runs?).. so it's important that you level each drivers similarly i guess

there is absolutely nothing wrong with that and however you want to play the game is fine. The only issue is when it is implied that turning on "hand-holding" and getting gold is the same as learning and driving the car/track yourself with no hand holding.
Those of us who only get to play 30 minutes a day (if that) really don't give a fuck.

I don't have a CL, but how about a an Accord Euro-R, which is close to a TSX? Like the CL, it's standard, and I found there's a limit to how close the game will allow you to focus. Just a quick lap and some simple shots:







But for reference, this is what a premium car looks like in photo studio mode:
