Gran Turismo 5

[NSXType-R]

Thanks for the tips there, but I've actually been having lots of problems with tires. I can't seem to switch between tires at all, the only time I've been able to switch tires is when I buy them new, and when the game defaults over to the comfort tires I can't seem to switch back to the racing tires.

It's the weirdest thing ever, I can't switch over even when I'm running in practice mode.

The first issues i had on B spec were running a C5 Corvette, where he couldnt complete the final sector at Grand Valley East without a massive tank slapper going through a quick right-left. Other parts of the track he was getting massive power oversteer even after i raised the front ride height and played with the sway bars. Whenever i drove the car though it was unbearable and i couldnt understand how you could get power on oversteer without spearing offtrack straight afterwards. I'm only on level 18/10 at the moment though.

When the Bob level up sufficiently he can drive my setup no issue, its the early races you have to worry about...

That happened to me as well. Especially the one that I have in the blue (calm) zone. Now in the Furai and the Zonda R he can drive fast and pretty much faultlessly. He is a bit useless at overtaking and defending the poisition, though.

I didn't picture you as a gamer.

What other games/systems do you have?

[Ferrer]

I'm not really a gamer, I play for fun. And to relax a bit.

I don't play at all in the computer and I just only recently bought the PS3 to play GT5 a bit. Previously I had a PS2, a N64 and a Super Nintendo (epic Mario Kart with firends is epic).

I'm not at all into steering wheels, pedals, force feedbacks, or sway bars, camber and suspension geometry or online gaming. For that I prefer to go out and drive my own car.

I do not prefer driving my shitbox 98 Camry....lol

But it is a reliable A-to-B transportation....

[Ferrer]

The Audi isn't exactly the last word in fun either, but if I drive 100km up north I have access to a V8, rear wheel drive sports saloon and a supercharged hot hatch.

Which isn't bad.

[RacingManiac]

With the shit weather we got here now and shit road, I'd rather stay home and drink hot tea and play GT5...lol

[Kitdy]

I think I would like driving games more were I better at them.

The other thing with snowy roads RM is that you can find an empty parking lot at night and do doughnuts, which is rather fun.

I haven't done that in ages.

[RacingManiac]

I used to relish those snowy nights driving back from UofT to Mississauga after a late night FSAE build session....no car on the road and you can do e-brake turn on public road....just so you don't understeer into a lamp post you know...

Here in MI though the roads are shit and some people drives even dumber than some I've seen in TO....I just want to give them a wide berth and get home ASAP...

720p .... switch to full screen

Got the apartment and even the latest sound barrier on the bridge which impressed me !!

So what you are saying is, that when I go to the ring I can crash at your Ring-pad....

Had a blast racing a few guys online today in the RM 69 Camaro. Racing that thing around Madrid track is what I'd akin to drifting an aircraft carrier in Panama canal....didn't do so well standing wise but it was fun, especially driving the damaged car for half a race with the G25 pointing 30 deg to the right on the straight....

First time I've capture locking wheel....
