Does anyone have a Stock Car to use in the Expert Series Nascar race I could borrow for a little bit. Will return it in good condition. That last Kart race is impossible I had no issue getting gold in every other one and I cant place in the last one and the S. Loeb races are BS. ---

> Details to date suggest the preliminary virtual rounds will be a test of driver skill in Gran Turismo 5 using “pre-selected Nissan vehicles” (which only slightly narrows the field for anyone looking for sneaky practice) and all entrants will receive “free digital content” just for playing – prompting yet more rumours about Downloadable Content. From GT Planet, so Im going to assume we keep them. I was destroying laps with my personal GT-R SpecV, hopefully this handles similar. ---

> [@WTB: verizon phone](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wtb-verizon-phone/37922/4): > > Yeah the kart races were easy. I can’t get better than silver on any of the Loeb stuff. The Loeb races are total BS. I got gold with traction control on 5 for the first race, because I didnt know you could turn it off lol. The other two are impossible, I can only get within 3 seconds of the bronze time. In other news, I usually race online with this xXBetty-WhiteXx guy or whatever his screen name is because his races are pretty legit and everyone can handle themselves without running into eachother or doing something retarded. So we are on the Eiger Norwand short track (the one that comes with GT HD) and this dude from Canada joins…he apparently has beaten the game or pretty much completed it because he has a Red Bull X1 car. Random facts about the X1: Top speed: about 360MPH. Acceleration: makes my 1200HP Veyron look like a Civic. The track switched to the full Nurburgring and about 8 of us total were on the track. My '07 GTR can lap the ring in about 7 minutes with no mistakes and really giving it the cookies. The mofo with the X1 car after taking his time finished one lap of the ring in 5 minutes, 38 seconds. He patiently waited behind my slow ass GTR for about 10 of those seconds while I tried to negotiate some turns. One of the other guys in the race said another guy with an X1 lapped it in 4 min, 30 sec… :excited Its unrealistic how well it handles and sticks to the road on turns. Crazy.
