I haven't played the game in nearly a year, but hot was a better option because you didn't have to babysit it. With the cold drivers, unless you had a vastly superior car, you'd pretty much have to sit there and control everything. With the hot driver, you could pretty much let it go for however long and go do something else (i.e. watch TV, go on computer, or, if an endurance race, go to work, etc.) and there was a good chance you'd still win.

Hot drivers tend to push harder, so they fuck up more often, but generally not enough to offset vs. cold drivers or even the neutral drivers.

30% in the hot zone is the sweet spot when I used to play it...but overpower the competition with the best car is usually your best bet.

I thought I posted this last night, but I guess it didn't go through. But anyway, THE AVENTADOR IS COMING TO GT5! :awwyeah:

New Gran Turismo 5 DLC Adds Lamborghini Aventador - autoevolution

I can't afford $5.99. Too baller for me. :troll:

they need the Mustang Boss 302 and 458 Spyder as DLC

Quite disappointed in GT5 but it may be because I'm still new to everything.

1) I understand that only the Premium cars will have the in-car view. Are there any changes to include the standard cars in the future with an update?

2) Is it possible to choose wheel size to run a staggered set up?

3) I didn't see an area for brake upgrades. Am I looking in the wrong spot? I'm in the GT tuning menu

4) Is there a faster way to acquire the Ferrari F1 than by saving $$? Is there an event that awards you the car?

5) Lastly, can someone give me their Honda Accord Euro R or type R? I think the TSX is in the game but haven't been able to spot in the used lot.

It just doesn't seem to be a complete game on first blush. GT2 was probably my favourite, not sure where this one stacks up.

^ no to the first 4 questions, and possible yes on the the last one, sorry to break it to ya bruh...

on topic for the last question, the game is designed like that, sometimes you literally have to wait for cars to show up in the used car dealerships.... although they did almost completely remedy that issue by introducing the online used car dealer... i forget what it's called exactly since i havent touched the game in few months now

Even those with the awesomely detailed interiors are ruined as soon as a shadow is cast across the dash. Why they haven't fixed that awful pixelated shadow is beyond me.

Thanks guys. Such a shame as it is fun to play but just missing so many key elements that we'd expect from a game that has been in the works for half a decade.

First car I bought was an ITR which gave me a terrible impression when I selected the in-car view. Almost immediately went back to Forza LOL

anyone else suffering from screen tears? Not quite sure how to describe it but the transition from one screen to a different screen aren't smooth at all. Not to mention everything takes forever to load....

Please add and let's share cars :)

Out of curiosity, what's everyone using for seasonal events? I am having problem with finding a nice 500 PP all arounder ...

400 PP - S2000 '00 with check engine light on, never changed oil, and detuned power to stay at 400 pp seems to do the trick for most of the tracks

500 PP - Espirit V8 & GTR (R34) R Tune, de-tuned the gtr to lower it to 500.

600 PP - don't recall atm

650 PP - Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car / Zonda LM

you can win either the Formula GT or the F10 or F2007 when you finish all A-spec events (minus the enduros)

the silly thing is you can use the ferrari F1 in this game beside from one or two seasonal events and the practice runs.

i think if you are a long time gt player who's moved on to forza you will find the gameplay and mechanics archaic. The game does get quite rewarding as you progress through it though and the physics and photo realistic visuals is what keeps me playing this game regularly.

^ speaking of visuals and all that gotta say I've always been a GT player, never even played any Forza games until 4 came out now I own it...

I gotta say Forza 4 is graphically a better looking game, both cars and courses included.....
Obviously GT has them beat without a doubt when it comes to physics, but everything else, and I mean absolutely everything, from customization options to online features Forza is twice the game GT is...

this is very hard to swallow and even say coming from a lifelong Gran Turismo player, but the good news is it will force GT to step it's game up.... so now we just gotta wait another 7 or so years until the next GT to see if it catches up

The blacked out interiors on standard cars is a shame. Can't even change wheels on the Veyron, and they should have at least gave some of the more popular Standard cars nice interiors such as the Supra, n Veyron.

Also a "trick" to playing Special Stage Route X is online. When u first join the online lobby there is a list of servers, and usually there are a few that are on the track. You can join and race in there.

400 PP - Opel Speedster (no upgrades) with power dropped to 140 HP. Dominates the competition, even in B-Spec with an unattended level 20-something driver.

500 PP - Still trying to find a good fit. The Stratos Rally Car works well for my B-Spec driver, but I make too many mistakes in it.

650 PP - Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C06) RM with power dropped to 690 HP.

Anyone want some modified (most fully modified) vehicles in exchange for completely stock ones (same model) ? Prefer 0 mile.

Just fired up the game today. Forgot how fun it was to drive my '70 Dodge Challenger.

If anyone still plays and wants to use my B-Spec drivers for remote races or anything, add me on PSN:

gThorpe92

the audi r10 race car is disappointing.
Time to save for the Mazda 787

Your premium ones can be bought again from the car dealer, no?

just bought a modd ps3 for less then $200cad in china & installing a game is only 5 bux each time :fullofwin:, but sadly no online for me :alone:

so no online for gt5 as well unless i update the game but seriously im not gonna pay 50bux for gt5:seriously:, but just im wondering whats the latest patch for gt5 cuz im not sure if they have it yet or not

I figured someone might want a fully-tuned car in exchange for a stock one if they were going to tune it anyways, since it would save hundreds of thousands of credits (plus less expensive for me).

No one wanted them, so I sold them all to get stock models :shrug:

I believe it's 2.05 right now.
