Mine everything is the same except for Skid Recovery which is Off and Tyre grip on edge of track/gravel: Real/High

Evo, please update the board again, and take out my time, I checked my car last night and I forgot I already add in Turbo engine and Suspension last time, no wonder I can get fast time than trunsku. tongue.gif

I take off everything, just with Racing Tires, only able to make it to 2:25. Will try again and see whether can do better than this tonight.

Sorry for the confusion I made here.

Haha... at least there is something for you to race again. Nice, improve again. Good job. smile.gif

Thank you bro. BDW, are u using DS3?

Ya, I am using DS3. No budget to get the wheel... sad.gif

Are you using wheel to achieve 3:22? So much different between wheel and DS3?!

I am still struggling with the monster X1 challenge with DS3... Does the wheel much more easier to achieve compare to DS3?

Ya, I'm using G25 racing wheel. Last time I'm a DS3 user too and I found out that DS3 limits your car's wheel turning degree, meaning racing wheel can turn more in a corner compared with DS3! Maybe the new update will fix that I'm not sure.
For the X1 challenge, u need to be a super DS3 alien to Gold all the challenges! I golded all the challenges using G25 and that also took me weeks of practices and trials and sweat like hell!!  sweat.gif  sweat.gif But definitely wheel is much better and easier compared to DS3.
*
Ya, I believe wheel turning degree is better than DS3.

I am very happy tonight!!! Finally I completed first 2 challenge in X2010 challenge!!! Now left Suzuka track to go! After 2 hours trials, tired... Try again on Suzuka next day... Need a lot of practice on Suzuka, too much corners...
Can't gold X2010 challenge with DS3, but I saw people golded the challenge with DS3 on other forum...
Crazy...

Yes, he did tried for months to gold all the X2010 challenge...

Yippee!!! Finally complete all 3 X2010 challenge, got the Red Bull X2010!!!
I feel good, deng deng deng deng deng!!!

I thought I never able to finish all the event, which makes me want to sell GT5 off. Guess it will hold for a while. tongue.gif
But not going to go for Platinum, this is very impossible for me...

You can do it. Go buy a steering wheel. nod.gif  If u can complete all the special event races using DS3, then it should be no problem for you to gold all the races and get platinum. The "Gold Standard" trophy is considered the hardest of all apart from Platinum.
*
Ya, totally agree with you. Gold Standard is the hardest trophy...
Not going to get the wheel, no budget and no space to put... tongue.gif
Maybe somebody can borrow me the wheel. hehe...

The used car dealers will auto refresh after some times, but precondition you need to click into it, otherwise it won't refresh, will remain the same list of cars from the last time you click into it.

before you go into a race, click into the used car dealer. After your race, you click in again and see the list already refresh or not. It won't refresh immediately, need to wait for a period.

Yup. Totally agreed with Sauron76. I haven't drive my Escudo after I got it from used garage. The X2010 killed it. rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

Got photo for Escudo? I didn't play GT2. tongue.gif
So far I know X2010 is the monster in GT5... I am using it to grind money. tongue.gif

My exasperation on Formula Gran Turismo (Extreme)

Talking about GT5, yesterday evening-night was spent on A-spec FGT (Extreme) championship (2nd try). First try last week, I abandon after fail to tune properly for Monaco and Monza, lost both.

This time, do a 500k chassis + 500k engine maintenance, power went from 887hp to 934hp (904pp)

Start at 4pm, each circuit 20-25 minutes (with short break in between to stretch/pee/refill). Manage to gold all 5x by 7:30pm (500 pts). The nearest competitor is 300+ pts only, which means I can abandon last race (suzuka) to win the trophy and save the game first  icon_idea.gif 

So I click exit, and made a mistake of abandon the championship instead of abandon the race  doh.gif  What a klutz I am  doh.gif  doh.gif  blink.gif

After heaving a big sigh, it's either I try again next week, or do it now. So, I start all over again  sweat.gif and get 500 pts after Monza (rain this time and manage to lap +1 all). Time 10:30pm. Won the championship and get the Caterham Seven Fireblade (not yet try/test this car)  rclxms.gif

Weird thing is, I not yet win at Suzuka. So I load as individual race (rain) and gold it in 40 minutes (2 minutes each lap) and lap +1.5 all other cars.  thumbup.gif

Basically my FGT usage is done, and I'll use it for b-spec credit grinding only (for other bobs), not going to spend 1M to overhaul it anymore. If I need a faster/better car, I'll use the X2010 for my own grinding.

With the right tuning, it is not difficult (cut corners a bit  tongue.gif ). Just need a lot of concentration on each turn, corner, braking lines. Now I know how hard it is for F1 drivers in Monaco, a slight mistake and that's it.

At 11pm+, I start b-spec Nurb 24-hours (Endurance). Tonight will check results  wink.gif

~ End of my weekend ~
*
Talk about FGT, it is quite hard when I first drive it with DS3, because it is too fast... The fastest car in GT5 beside the X2010. After I get use to it, I realized FGT can't break too early or too much, have to break a little late and hard, should do the trick well in turning the corner.

can any of u guys give me some tips to gold the special event races? the fiat 500 and lotus and subaru? i find it freaking hard . what am i not doing right here?
*
Ya, I agree with you. Last night I do FIAT 500 for 3 hours, and the best result just 2nd place, and still 5 minutes lost to the 1st car...

Is it I need to upgrade with all the best part only has the chance to challenge the 1st car?

However, no matter how good you upgrade your car, your HP also need to stay at 65HP and weight 1000kg is really killing the speed when up hill, which is quite hard to chase till 1st car. Any setting recommended on the suspension?

got a good start of my GT5 weekend. smile.gif
Just completed Fiat 500 Seasonal Event...
Beat the first car with 10'24"784, just able to overtake him at the last corner, with the best last lap 2'02"890 after few hours of trying...

What a hell of seasonal update... challenging... I almost give up to try for winning the race...

Won Fiat 500, 2nd place at lotus 111R, not yet try WRX. The new update really bring back my interest to play GT5. tongue.gif

Really hard to win the new update seasonal event... Probably people with steering will find it easier than DS3.

However, the suspend function added in new update, is not mean for endurance race, only applicable for championship races, so stupid... They should add the suspend function for endurance race especially the 9 hours and 24 hours...
