I got the game for christmas. Im a level 14 and my main car is a 69 camaro haha. Just discovered that my motul civic race car is badass. I absolutely hate the top gear test track and im not really a big fan of the nurburgring or at at least the version of it I drove on. I’m a big fan of laguna seca though. ---

Definitely was not that… thats why I was confused. I know everyone has talked about the Nurburgring being legendary, so when I was racing something didn’t seem right. Just looked it up, it was the circuit I think… ![http://onlineracingacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/nurburgring02gp_map.gif](http://onlineracingacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/nurburgring02gp_map.gif) ---

The level 24 in the first race I got gold. Yeah I have silver in all of the beginner races except the very first race I have gold. Thing is that flying through the stages damn near perfect(so it seems) and I’m still 4-5 seconds off pace. Not sure where to make it up. Same with that Tuscana race in the lamborshitty. ---

Controller and wheel(logitech G25) but broke the wheel and use the controller now. Honestly though, I probably do better with just the controller. square = gas X = brake R/L1 = gear.

word… i have to be honest, I use an automatic gearbox. I cannot stand using x and square for gas and brake, I have to have some play with the two. ---

I like the Nordschlief, it reminds me of a paved road in the mountains somewhere, it’s narrow and twisty :thumbup ---

Bought the f40 and have done a lot of work to it and I have to be honest, I’m somewhat disappointed. Maybe it’s just the race itself but I dunno, i expected the car to be faster and handle better. Also, what is the difference when you do the “race car” modifications. ---

This car is fucking retarded. It laps Indy in 31.xxx…I’m doing close to 300mph on the straights and no work is involved in cornering. Balls. I still like my 88 Estate wagon lol. His user name is Moab355 on GT Planet and I think he still has a S. vettel for trade. It’s shady because he wants your car first and he sends the other car from another account, but it’s legit. ---

The RM in GT Auto makes the car handle totally different. I have two ZR1s, one with RM and one without, cornering is greatly improved. ---

Friend me on PSN(P-car962), send me the car, I will tweak it for you and then send back. If I can make a a laborshitty move good, I can get the F40 down pat. was going to buy one but bought an enzo instead. Promise, I’m a good guy.

Yes, go into your garage on the left of the GT life screen, select the car(you must not be “in it”, get in another car if so), then on the bottom there is a “give to friend” button. click that, select my screen id(P-car962), and the car will send to me where I can load it and tune, then send back to you when done. I think theres 6-7 cars in my garage that don’t belong to me. other peoples I’m tweaking but can only send back one a day so they pile up. you’re only allowed to send one car every 24hrs so you won’t be able to do another for a day. I haven’t sent one in awhile so I can send back immediately.
