I guess we can save midway through the championship now but i don't know, can you save multiple times during the championship or only once.

You can save multiple times, but watch out because its more a suspension than a save. It actually forces you to quit the game and then the next time you start it up, you have to continue the championship or lose the progress. So dont begin it unless you are prepared to play no other GT5 until you complete it.

Why do you consider the weight and engine mods a waste? Weight mods are among the first things I do.

I'm still around, been grinding out Resonance of Fate because I got Leanne in her little pantsu skirt. That is all. Working in the heat sucks but I don't even notice it's 92 degrees anymore.

On Thursday do you think we could try going with a heavyweight race? I was thinking something 1850kg and up (over 4000lbs). I was hoping for an excuse to use the Tank Car, but that may be a bit of a stretch. Also, it is the German GP this weekend and this year its at Nurburg so perhaps we could run an F1 race if people have at least the FGT.

Actually, on a wide track (no sandtraps), that sounds like a blast. Can really beat and bang on each other

Yes this weekend is the German GP at Nurburg. I would love to do an F1 race on that track with the FGT. Last time I was trying to do the German cars on that track to get me pumped for the F1 race.

Man I expect a lot of off the track with the twitchyness of the FGT

Jack up that traction control then

I'm DEFINITELY up for a Formula GT race on the G/P track. We'll have to test it out tonight to see what the laptimes are and how many laps would be ideal. One of these nights we should do a few longer races; instead of our usual 5, perhaps 3 races of 7-10 laps?

I don't like buying upgrades that can't be undone, and yes i will put traction control on cars like the formula gt, but its still so garbage that you have to have a custom setup for it.

I dunno...ask most of the guys we race with and I almost always race my cars without custom setups...some cars just need some extra laps of practice

That said, I'm looking forward to some testing tonight at about 8:30 EDT.

I won't be able to make it till around 9 tonight. Stuck unloading stuff at the new house, interwebs not connected there yet.

Not a problem. Gives us some time to goof around

Room is up. Sorry it's a bit late, trying to cool my apartment down.

I may drop in, run a couple laps and drop out again

Alright, some great results tonight. FTG cars on GD/P = patience needed! We'll save that for another night. We tested out some 500PP American Muscle cars on Grand Valley East(?) and it was pretty fun. A bit more tuning is in order but that will definitely be on our list for Sunday. 5 laps seemed appropriate.

Did someone really run a 1:08 in the FGT? The closest I could get was 1:12

Yeah. I had TC on 1, Skid Recovery ON, Active Steering on MILD, and ABS on 4.

My laps were consistently in the 1:12 range, with my best time being just under 1:10.

On a side note, I flipped a Lotus while messing around on the Tsukuba Circuit.



Also, does anyone remember what event you have to complete for Grand Valley East to show up in the practice section? Grand Valley East Reverse is there, but no GVE.

A quick look at the unlocks list doesn't list it. I don't think you have to unlock it.

I must have just been really tired last night(after all I did flip a car in the middle of the track). I had no problem finding GVE this afternoon, thanks anyway bear.
