GT5 chit-chat

Continuation of GT5 discussions from the old forum...

Good update v1.05 yesterday. See the news section on the GT homepage for details.

Much better now that Gunnel lent me those cars!

I'm desperately trying to avoid the whole car lending thing as I'm a glutton for punishment.

To be honest I think that I was really suck! Those cars got me going again

In other news, I won a Ferrari Enzo last night for something! Not sure what!

Has the update helped/made a difference?

Yes! I can't post the full details because of the character limit - but those seasonal specials are cash-cows and the addition of the online dealership helps finding hard to get cars easier. Also, there's a temporary credit boost for events up to the end of January..

OMG, what a refreshing change for an update to make a game better! I was doing a seasonal race last night and gained more credits from two races than my whole GT5 career so far!
Impressed muchly I am!

You get credits online?

I'm missing out.

Get on-line then fat boy!

Why can't I change my tyres?

Have you bought any others? i.e different tyre componds, soft medium, hard etc

RTFM

Looking forward to a race or two tonight!.....

Mick can you post two or three BHP limits we can set cars up too for competitive racing without using the standard GT5 cars?

My PA bitch last night was taking notes of useful BHP limits. I expect the wh0re will post them shortly..

Right b!tches, read this carefully. Last night with the assistance of Cornishpastie and Gunnell (thanks Guys!) I have gone through the many BHP limits that the online game has and these appear to be the favourites. They go up in approx. 50BHP limits:-
207BHP
256BHP
305BHP
355BHP
404BHP
453BHP
502BHP
552BHP
601BHP
650BHP
700BHP
749BHP
808BHP
907BHP
1000+BHP (UNRESTRICTED IN OTHER WORDS)

As exp points and credits are earned for online races, the more players, the more credits. I hope the limits will suit everybody and if in doubt the preloaded garage always has a car to use (and most of the time beat everybody).
Enjoy!

Have noted the BHP limits and will now start limiting the room to a selection of them - so get your cars ready for each limit.

I would also like to suggest an 85bhp* limit for just one class of cars - the VW Camper van! Basically, you can do all the mods except sticking a turbo on to keep it under the limit, so don't waste your credits on turbos.

Nordschleife in the VW's felt like I was going on a picnic - should be a good laugh once we get a few of us on..

*From memory, will check this later.

The race mod makes a hell of a difference, plus you can do some extra tweaks afterwards

Evening all,

Not been here for a while sadly. Nor have i been playing GT5 as much as i should, naughty of me really.

So what are all these extra races Mick, can i find them in the Lounge area of the game?

Also did you see that next month Gran Turismo Anywhere is being added that will let you control the B-Spec side of the game from your desk top/mobile device etc etc?.

Bye bye productivity at work then.

There's a seasonal events option now in the GT Life home screen. Easy money, season 3 and 4 are still available, 3.5 million for completing each of them so get playing as season 3 expires on Thursday.

Yeah, as Tony said, they're on the front page in the GT mode (GT life home page). You need to be on 1.5 version of the game.

Saw the B-spec anywhere thingy too. Looking forward to spam the endurance races whilst P&O pay me for the privilege.
