So uhhh…the Bugatti Veyron is in this game. I played last night until I had enough cash to buy a Lime Green Murcielago. And how the fuck do you beat the special races on the TopGear test track? Am I the only one that finds them impossible? ---

The only chance of overtaking them is at a corner but if you cut it too close you go off the track - shitty. The Lotus feels like you are driving on ice and has 1000lbft of TQ at 1500 RPM the way the ass end slides out lol. ---

Ford RS200 came rolling through the damn used lot for 114K. Only had 110K in the bank after selling all the garbage I had. Was on the very bottom of the page. Went and raced one event, came back, gone :banghead:banghead:banghead:banghead I always buy all the dumb shit in the game. Supe it all up and go race. Makes the game more challenging. Anyone can run a Pagani R or LM car and win easy. There is so much stupid shit in this game that they, not could, but SHOULD have axed and made other things better. That whole nascar thing…fucking gay. A good portion of those special events are stupid. Should have just incorporated them into regular use tracks and used the disk space for making the game better. ---

The intermediate challenge for the nascar is really easy and you can make some good $$ and it only takes just a few mins to finish all four of the challenges…well thats if you get golds anyway… ---

with the top gear track, the first turn you have to break early on, the seccond turn before Chicago you just stay hammer down and blow right between the cars the gain 2 or 3 spots and then out break the next car on the inside, after that when you head into hammer head, just break late and you can get 2 more spots right there, after that your not going to get another spot till gambon. good luck ---

So I’m disappointed, I can’t put a big turbz on my Murcielago. Oh well. I joined an online race on the Fuji track yesterday and managed to stop everyone in the race by doing excessive powerslides and donuts in the same spot. Any other fellow Lambo GT5 owners here yet? I went with the lime green with color matched Volk G2 wheels. They got the exhaust note down good for the Murcie. ---
