If it’s anything like the Formula Gran Turismo I probably won’t be impressed. That car is impossible to drive without wiping out, especially around the Nurburgring. I can’t stand how twitchy it is and attempting to take a corner and powering through it results in tire smoke, ssssssidewayz, and some chicken shit bull shit. I assume the X1 is the same?
I bought a DC5R last night and fully modded it, for a FWD it hammers around the ring, 7:30 even after fucking up a couple times.
I still have the GTR race car and I found out I have an NSX race car too if anyone has something they want to trade.

It’s like a formula GT on crack and steroids. It turns when you want to go straight and goes straight when you want it to turn… But when it actually does what you want it to, it’s holy shit fast. Got up to 275mph in seconds.

No, the x2010 is insane. It “uses” similar fan tech that chaparral used in the 70’s to create downforce at super low speeds. most tracks you don’t even have to touch the brakes with it.

I would prefer a wheel. Controller, even holding the thumb stick forward and trying to slowly rotate it, for minor changes, is tough. Yes m aware of the D-pad, but meh. I wants a wheel. I havent tried anymore on the academy stuff, and it ends tonight doesnt it? Well round 1 anyways? Having kids FTL lol

I would take any Matte color chips you have instead of a car too. Or any special color like chrome.
If anyone else has any colors they want to trade let me know.

Ill trade you my unused 08 GTR GT Race car, 950,000 credit one from Nissan (Xaviavaerereer or what the hell ever it says on the side) for any special color chips. If you have a Matte color, chrome, or chameleon Ill trade.
Id like at least one Matte and another special color before I trade.

Damn you, I used my matte green on my Murcielago. Looks sexy AS FUCK with brack wheelz.
I’m stuck about 33% into level 26 just because I’m lacking motivation to go any farther. Honestly I’m not too excited about the X1 like I was before, I’d rather fuck around with regular cars online.
Did anyone else notice the lack or total lack of rally races in the regular game categories? If I remember correctly GT4 had a few mixed in, WTF is up with that?
