My original launch release ps3 finally died, so Just bought myself my christmas present (Being newly single, back in at home ftmfw)
Been holding myself back and actually keeping it for christmas. Old school.
May set it up to install though...w0ot

^^^ Damn dude i understand there are obviously currency differences but man $119?

I thought the Australian dollar was pretty equal to Canadian dollar

[T Verdier]

Damn 60 laps at grand valley only gets you 164,000 and takes close to 2 hours, weak!

^ Hahaha whats the prize car?

Best race to make money is the Ferrari one in I think Professional (category 3 of the 5)
3 laps of Monza and you win 36,000.... but prize car is Ferrari California worth 80,000

[NigelStu]

Do you keep wining the car every time you race? Or do you only win it once?


Pure money stand-point, high speed ring in turbo sports = 50K in 3-4 min.


Although, on a pure joy standpoint, Monza is a blast! One of my favorites in the game!



How's everyone doing in the academy? I am having withdrawals as my PS3 did not come with me to Wisconsin...

Haha im like 500 something on the Cape Ring... 10 seconds off leader

[325_e30]

I'm 3 hours and 50 minutes into the 4 hour endurance with the miatas...its taken me 6 hours lmfao.. fml this shit is boring..i tried the glitch with the pit to make him drive himself like in bspec but ive failed. 22 laps ahead of the leader though.. so technically i can stop now and just chill..wooo

[5Toes]

Taken you 6 hours? Im confused.

Yeah you cant win prize cars twice.

Caterham 7 is the slowest revving piece of shit on the game

i had to take a break..driving a miata around the track for more than an hour at a time is a real drag. piece of shit cant even drift with my settings so i couldnt even have fun with it.. finished with 225 laps and lapping the 2nd place 22 times. that race SUCKS!

when you get to that race try to beat 1.00.589 lap time though. it was my best lap. for the most parts i ran 1.01-3. My oil was BLACK when i got out of that race to remember to change before you go in.

[5Toes]

Haha I hate miatas.

You used which model?

[freeride53]

Haha I hate miatas.

You used which model?

dude no homo, i love miatas

[5Toes]

Miatas are good cars. On GT5 though, not very fun

Where at in Wisco?

[NigelStu]

I'm up in Wausau. er, the folks are in Wausau.


I got this great book for Xmas - A guide to all (most?) of the breweries in WI. I think I might just be stopping by the New Glarus brewery on my way home to stock up this time! :D I love that stuff! I have to stock myself up since they don't sell it outside of WI.


re: Miatas. I'll get to that race early next week since I don't have to go back to work until after the 1st of Jan.

e30 - what year car and was that with every mod thrown at the car for that 1:00.589? It has minimal mods, but I love my flat pink miata, with a wing and gold wheels... Won the first non-enduro Miata race with ease, but of course I had to add power, suspension and weight reduction for my B-specer's to win....

Now, in real life, I absolutely LOVE my Spec Miata.

Can't wait until Tuesday to get back at the game!
