Posted 1 year ago # -
Level 15 on A spec and 19 on B spec, but gone back to playing forza 3.
First car was Honda Civic.Posted 1 year ago # -
I got a Honda Beat K car that weighs 650kg or something, it's now got 125bhp and is quite hard to keep on the road now. I did use it to win the Japanese 90s car series tho
Can you play this online or what?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Yeah, Got it the day of release (Tesco's release day deal was too good to pass up).
It's prob the most frustrating game ever made with it's horribly slow and tedious multi menu system, add to that playing it on 2 PS3s to level 16+ each before they finally released a patch to allow copying of the game save, am now at L19, passed all license challenges and completed upto expert (I think) but rarely play PS3.
I'm clueless about cars so can't even remember what my first cars were, must have 70+ of them now but TBH hate the whole choosing/ modding cars part of the game.

I like the modding part. You can either race stock if you want to really test yourself, or just keep coming second and third until you have enough money to improve your car. It makes a good handicap system I think. And it gets less important later in the game and real driving skill becomes more important.

Me but not played for weeks too busy. Need to get back into it.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I've done quite a lot but reached a bit of a wall. Level 21 in the pro series events. There's a 2 race series I need to win to get to level 22 and then be able to buy proper race cars. You're up against proper race cars but can't have one yourself it seems. Can't be bothered repeating lots of races to earn money to try and do it either.

Anyone want an online race then?
Posted 1 year ago # -
steveh - you now get Exp points for any race you do, even online races/seasonal events, just keep racing random events and you'll eventually get to L22.. or you could just ask to borrow a mates car

Molgrips - mibbie, What track/car do you wanna race? and what's your PSN ID?
Posted 1 year ago # -
i have it and online (although not right now!) my user id is 'mistersi' if anyone wants to add me.
Posted 1 year ago # -
had it since the day of release and am up to level 21 - got 2 licences on S to complete and I'm done
have just been farming credits with b-spec for a week or so though to rest my slight case of bankers wrist - got a couple of mil to spend now and about 50 unused car tickets.To be honest I am underwhelmed and once I get bored I will probably go back to NFS:Shift - if I could manage to unlock the TopGear track it would revitalize the game - but I keep getting silver in the blasted VDubs, as its a big part of why I wanted GT5 having it locked like that is starting to p me off

I'm molgrips.
And I'll show you who's clueless!
Don't care what I race. Not got any racing cars yet tho, or much that's particularly fast tho. We can race K cars if you have one, I'll win that Posted 1 year ago # -
I have the top gear track - what did I do that you didn't?
Posted 1 year ago # -
to win the VW camper challenge, overtake inside every corner (except the 2nd tight coned lefthander, where you brake late on the outside to pass)and never touch the brake. HTH

What's a K car?
Posted 1 year ago # -
K car is a very small sub 700kg or something Japanese car. There's a K car challenge in the beginner events. They are good fun to drive.
Posted 1 year ago # -
K car - tiny jap citycar - there is a list of models that you can use.
I think I might have another go at the TG track this eve - I can get silver quite reliably but gold eludes me.
Posted 1 year ago # -
You gonna add me GW? Who are you?
Posted 1 year ago # -
GrandW - I've got gold on all TG challenges, you need to know just how much you can scrap with the other cars without being DQ'd, it's quite random at times (but the same in each situation, if you get me) you def need to drive aggressively. I found the Elise TG challenge far harder then the others, but much more fun !!

Racing games are boring. Who's for some xbox GTA free-mode silliness...?

This is a PS3 only thread!

Camper vans on Top Gear track isn't even a game, it's punishment.
Posted 1 year ago # -
only for the last couple of days. Lvl16. Just won some races on expert lvl in a really fast Nissan.
Fun game, i'll have a race car within days Posted 1 year ago # -
Haven't played since before christmas, but currently at lvl24 in A-Spec and finally got a Formula GT (the "I win" car for open races). It was getting a bit stale but I'll no doubt get back into it at some point.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I seem to remember from playing GT3 that the full length races with proper racing cars were seriously gruelling.
Posted 1 year ago # -
LVL 17, I just in it to buy cars to pull birds in...
Posted 1 year ago # -
I'm intrigued by GT5 - will this version allow you to crash your car into a wall & not get a scratch? I've always thought it odd the self proclaimed most realistic driving game would let you smack into a wall at 50 mph & drive off without a scratch.
