Agreed, the iA races weren't too bad (haven't done the karts, suck at it) & most of the S races are fine. Just more challenging, harder to have a distinct advantage with the PP limits.

I'm terrible at the karts as well. I'm always spinning out.

Yep, I either spin out, or touch the wall & get stuck (trying to hug the inside).
I do better on the open tracks (Silverstone (huge shortcuts ), Brands Hatch) but on the kart tracks I suck

Most of the cars I buy I just do all of the visible mods, (wheels, wings, exhaust), slam them to the ground and take pictures of them. Most of them have 0 miles on them.

Just purchased the deltawing and I'm about to test it in the 24 minutes of le mans. Hopefully it was a smart acquisition.

Do not get on the throttle until you are well past the apex.

I don't think it has enough top end for circuit de la Sarthe.

Looks like you didn't watch the race. It's not a smart decision. The car qualified way down the order.

^I will have to check that one out. Didn't know about the Mercedes.


I was going off of performance points and the deltawing was listed at 687 which was higher than most of the le mans cars. The deception was strong with this one haha.

The Sauber can be a little tricky, but overall isn't a bad car & quite fast for an '89

Haven't posted any pictures in a while. I find that I get so sidetracked with taking pictures in the game.

I noticed your new avatar pic, ACCURATEin. You just can't stay away from those TE37's, can you? Are you planning on getting the TLX when it comes out?

TE's are the one rim that probably will never be played out.

lol.

No I can not stay away from TE37s. Tee Eee thirty sevens are one of my addictions.

I certainly have my eyes on the new TLX. Hopefully it doesn't change too much from the prototype.

I'm mostly excited to see the TLX GT racecar perform. The closest it will get is at barber motorsports park in Alabama.

Okay, this is going to seem like a noob question, but I've just never taken the time to figure this out - How do you get your pictures out of GT6, off the PS3 and onto the 'net for linking here?

From the gallery in GT6, transfer them to the PS3 XMB. Go into the XMB and transfer them to a USB stick.

Excellent, thank you. I figured it was probably easy, just hadn't taken the time to figure it out yet.

If anybody is having difficulties with the Tesla Roadster seasonal event, use comfort soft tires and slide the shit out of the back end. Switching from racing hards to comfort softs took nearly 2 seconds off my lap time.

Not sure what all was done, but after the last update, the karts are a little easier to drive.
Need to go in & do the shifter karts now.

Was playing earlier before the servers went down. Was going around snow drifting with 00TL-P3.2, and didn't come out was i would hope. I did however race against some fast cars earlier online.

I usually try to get at least into the top 3,000 worldwide in the seasonal events but that Subaru/Matterhorn event really pissed me off. I got gold and got out. Just couldn't seem to put a good lap together.

I had that problem with the most recent 3. The FXX I just couldn't get in a good lap time. Silver & done for now. Same with Matterhorn.
Redid the Vettel kart races last night & got gold, need to redo 1 RB Jr race that I got silver on. Slowly working toward 100%. This game needs more content.
