Also, what's the deal with wheels, once you buy them, you lose the previous ones? or can you change them back?

Adjust your transmission. Set downforce to max. Get soft tires. Easy win.

Now we don't have to hear you asking for a race car every couple posts :P:P.
I spent nearly an hour doing that indy race till I tried maxing my down force. I was so relieved.

In GT4 B-Spec you could tell the driver to not pit...you can't do that in GT5?

Racing soft actually lasts just as long as hard, so you may want to just get those. And the AI opponents tires definitely seem to last longer. It makes endurance races that much more annoying.

OK, so I found out something annoying. I don't know if this was posted previously in this thread, but I read it on GTPlanet. Apparently, when you RM a car, it automatically includes some upgrades such as Stage 2 engine, etc. etc. AND you can still purchase the remaining mods. So, if you paid money for the upgrade before RMing, you wasted your money. This is very different from the older GT games where RMing meant you couldn't modify the car anymore.

So, if you do buy a car that can be RMed and you are planning to do so, do that first, and then buy any remaining mods to save some money.

Doing the gran turismo world championship with the Furai.

So hard to control in 1st-2nd.

So I'm just keeping it mostly in 3rd while cornering so I don't spin out

well.. at level 20+, you probably don't even care about 100k you spend on upgrading non-RM cars

i read that. i'm not sure if cutting 2 seconds off of 16 second load time is worth extra 100 bucks
