[PS3] Gran Turismo 5

[Colonel Angus]

If you're looking for a cheap car that will be able to get you through a lot of series in the professional/expert range get the Viper SRT10. For 100,000 I think it's a bargain. Put in an extra 50,000 or so tuning with some racing tires and that thing is a beast. I won the supercar challenge and the Gran Turismo tournament with it no problem. If I knew how to post screenshots of cars I would. I love that car.

My dads a big fan of cars and he loved the GT series for the PS2 so I plan on picking this up for him for Christmas.

Anyone get a "matte" color chip yet?? I want one sooo bad

 

[Blade]

This outside line challenge is next to impossible in intermediate jeff gordon school

 

[Boucher]

I got silver after 50 tries

BUICK SPECIAL OMG BEEEAST

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I didn't find it that hard

I golded the first 3 right away, the last one at IMS took 3-4 tries. Don't brake, lift of the throttle a little through the turn, and gun it as soon as you can.

I think having the PDP trigger extenders is a huge help when it comes to throttle control

edit: Also, stay in 3rd gear, just let it redline.

BUICK SPECIAL OMG BEEEAST

That thing has made me a lot of money.

I forgot earlier today I was using a stock 73 or 74 Skyline for the Japanese beginner race, and it was pretty tough.

Coming down the straight on the last lap the 2nd place car was gaining fast so I started toying with him to block him and he spun out without me even touching him :laugh:

I've got a pic of it to upload tomorrow

Years of playing NASCAR games has made the Jeff Gordon challenges pretty easy for me. The last kart race took me FOREVER.

So I expected to get some stiff competition in the LVL 18 Japanese Championship (race cars and shit) so I spent a lot of money upgrading my GTR Black Mask only to totally smoke what looked like stock accords and Lancers etc. WTF??

Did you look at the typical opponents list before the race?

 

[Boucher]

Got a Lotus Elise 111r for beating all beginner challenges

Well I just banged through the intermediate NASCAR events...the last 2 were very easy. The only one for some reason took me like 20-30 tries was the inside driving.

I am not hitting the brakes at all, but I may have to switch to manual to leave it in 3rd for the challenge. I keep riding up in the wall or turn sharply into the cones, probably because I keep getting into 4th gear when I leave it on automatic.

 

[jms493]

Never play this game with automatic!

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

Automatic is only in the game for when people like my wife want to play

They made this premium because?

My flying car

It is always funny to see the "zombie" a.i. screw up and look human, this is the race where the 2nd place car spun out untouched while he was trying to get past me

 

[Blade]

I don't like doing the shifting on Challenges, it's just easier to get through them on automatic, but some of these I guess I am gonna have to Nut up or Shut up.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I haven't tried it with an automatic, but I have noticed quite often that the gear suggestion thingy will often suggest a lower gear than what is actually needed...i.e. I know I can take a turn in 3rd and not lose anything, but the game keeps telling me I should be in 2nd

So if you are in an automatic will it drop to 2nd?
