Hey does anybody know what the best setup for spa is with the ferrari F10? I got gold on monza easy but spa is annoying please help.
I agree it is weird having a Standard Enzo and F2007. I did buy both of them because I am a car collector (Standard Enzo’s grip and handling is god-like aweful!). Even so, I think the Enzo is from GT PSP (looks low res and crappy) but I think the F2007 is from GT5-Prologue because it looks HD (unlike other Standard cars) and the cockpit view is very detailed, like the Premium F2007. This is what I believe because the Standard F2007 looks too detailed to be a Standard car but it’s in Standard car’s because it is a version from a past GT game (GT5 Prologue).
Yeah, I re-did a few seasonal races to get that 2007 F1 – really odd to see these cars appear after almost three years.
As for the handling, these cars are rarely stock, more like they all have a common setting when bought. Sometimes the gear ratios are tweaked but most of the settings are a middle ground which will often make them handle badly when driven ‘stock’.
Thanks a lot! never thought I’d see a picture of me on the cover ^^
Oh look finally a reason to drive an f1 car in gt. these darn thongs are the most useless and worst value for money cars in gt because you cant use them in 2p battle plus you cant drive them online unless its a room for only ferrari f1 cars i mean come on pd at least let us drive f1 vs fgt! Is it too much to ask?
Err those darn things. Stupid f****** auto correct
It’s Ferrari’s fault, not PD.
The only way Ferrari would allow their F1 cars to be used was if they couldn’t be raced against any other car, because they didn’t want the possibility of another car beating their F1 cars.
I didn’t think of it that way and you got a point just based on how ferrari is, thanks :)
Excellent picture
The F2007 has a standard version too? What the?
It’s from GT PSP, apparently.
Must be the internet will explode and PD will burn to the ground if they have a seasonal with 30 laps.
Typical, and I’ve just started the 24 hours of Nurburgring :(
Haha i know right! I’ve missed the last two time trials cause I’m half way through :P (The sun is coming up :) )
I hope this doesn’t take weeks to complete the last F1 challenge was extremely hard. Well let me try to knock this out fast in like 1 hour :-)
You thought so? I’m not the best driver and I remember doing them well below PP limit and winning easily
Dang you’re a boss I only did the first race lol.
Anyone else aware that the F1 and FGT cars are tunable to identical hp/kg/pp ratings?
Not enough laps and circuits. Getting tired of these short sprint races at ridiculous places such as London. Geeez, it’s bad enough that the AI is slow.
Now how do I want to suit up my avatar ;)
Yup, Phil the secret has been out for a while on that. Too bad they can’t be raced at the same time to see which one is the better car.
Can’t decide due to my lack of precision. Depends on track which comes out top while using similar setup.
Maybe we’ll get around to doing that when I get back into town ;)
London? LOL That’s gonna be fun. Not an easy place to race 15 other F1 cars
Makes for some good photos.
Now this is a seasonal! Monza, Spa, and Monaco in the same series?! :D
I bought the enzo from the OCD, just to see what the difference is between the standard and premium models, and what’s with the standard f2007 PD?
It’s from Gran Turismo PSP
First time I have seen these in the OCD. Just purchased them.
Cool to see this again; I had a bit of fun with this seasonal last time it was available. Standard F2007 & Enzo ftw…
Italian GP is my birthday weekend. :)
so this seasonal comes along just after i stop playing GT5 because i lost all my cars and everything on it YESTERDAY
Just start anew, I restarted the game three times and it was always great fun.
I would even send you a F1 car if it was possible.
Well it’s kinda possible to send an F1 car, if you have a level 24 ticket. I’d head to the Marketplace and ask for help on that front. In fact checkout Playnthru’s thread.
I doesn’t your ps3 have a auto backup save in the saved game data menu? I know mine does, it saves 24 hours behind the real time save. But idk if it might have been messed up since u last logged in to GT5.
wish this was a time trial event but thanks to hackers it is not possible. Why would anyone want to hack a car as perfect as a Ferrari F1?
Nice seasonal to come back to GT5 to, after a long hiatus , I haven’t played in over 5 months,
I love driving the F1 2007 with no aids whatsoever, no ABS either, this car is truly forgiving, even on the Nurburgring Nordschleife, I still have a mission to lap it in under 5:00. (I did 5:10 I think with it when I was learning the track some close to two years ago, pre Spec II)
This event was so easy an there just wasn’t enough laps i wanted to run 50 laps, I love Formula Cars. Hoping GT6 will feature better seasonal events with a minimum of 20 laps make them at least like a heat race instead of a sprint.
Which smart guy thinks up these seasonals? F1 car at London!! Come on PD..
F1 cars have driven up Regent Street in the past, which is part of the GT circuit.
I think it’s a good idea. Pretty tricky but great once you master the braking points and pressures.
Standard Enzo and F2007 on the OCD!! :o
That I have to see.
Interesting, these cars were always in the game but not normally accessible through the random UCD. PD is just unlocking all the models I guess so we can complete our collections. I want that 1,000hp Citroen GT in my stable. Didn’t know that the Ferrari was in there too but hey any car is welcome as long as I can get my mitts on it.
FORGET about the Standard Enzo and the Standard F2007.
I’m seeing a cherry sweeeeet ’72 Fiat 500 R!!!
Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!!
Wait a minute, didn’t we already have a Ferrari F1 only event prior to this? So why a new one PD?
Because, Rionmoon, the previous event didn’t offered rewards. These events were reset some time ago and came back one by one with the new reward and performance system.
So Rionmoon, why would you think that an event with the word “seasonal” in it’s name would anything but? These events are, by design, meant to return season after season. So it was about a year ago that we had the previous Ferrari F1 challenge. Guess what we might be seeing in a year from now on here, assuming it’s all still active at that time?
turbolefty78
Aug 29 – 8:06 am
Deko Wolf-GTPT
Aug 29 – 4:21 am
So Deko Wolf-GTPT & turbolefty78 ” ” seasonal ” ” means “over a year old and über board with it so lets to it AGAIN” only this time with different rewards.
Huh
SO glad GT 6 is coming soon cause PD has lost even the pretense of doing anything new or creative for its paying customer base with GT5. This is like an old marriage at this time with more of the boring same and nothing new or exciting.
Right now I have a garage full of cars in the 550pp range I haven’t raced because there is no event for them. Sure I could use the power limiter or increase their ops with upgrades but WHY when it would be fairly simple for PD to create some seasonal events in that pp range. Besides, these are stock vehicles from PD so why shouldn’t there be a race for them? Because PD is DONE with GT5. I hope PD doesn’t ignore us with GT6 because they’re to busy with the GT movie
*Awaits for complaints saying 5 laps isn’t long and event is too easy…*
5 laps isn’t enough for an F1 event and the event is WAY to easy.
There ya go.
FORGET about the Standard Enzo and the Standard F2007.
I’m seeing a cherry sweeeeet ’72 Fiat 500 R!!!
Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!!
Waaaa! The event is too long and these races errrrh Hard! Waaa! hahaha
this event is too long and five laps is too easy.
never bought the formulas eventhough i have the money for em, any advice for a good setup especially for london and monaco?? thanks in advance.
The best setup for a beginner is just max out the spring rate and dampers and anti-roll bars. toe and camber can be adjusted as you learn how to drive the car
^ yup.
I’m rather pleased that they had Monza and Spa on this week’s events. I got pretty hyped after watching the Belgian GP this past weekend and I’m definitely looking forward to the Italian GP in a couple of weeks.
Me too, Irons
They’ve been scheduling these to coincide with the actual events of F1, le Mans, Nurburg and Spa 24h. Don’t know about SuperGT though.
London!! Good grief.
Agreed. So tired of coming out of a corner to find two of them sitting there accelerating like the tank car
ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
