Biggest "I'm an idiot" thing you've done in GT5

[rallymorten]

I spent 4,600,000 crs to buy a Veyron and a Zonda R, then I found out I can win them in an event

Lol i did the same with the Oreca LMP Audi. Luckily it had paid itself before I found out I would win it. And now I have a prize for online events

I used my ruf btr with a tune on it and I was doing a 585 pp race online and was at circuit de la sarthe.when I was at the Michelin corner,I got on the gas at the second part of the.corner and it was sliding.try to catch it but it went into the wall.and it messed my tires up too

I have a controller that presses random buttons by itself. Just using it is a bad idea, like when I checked on my Bobs with 12 hours of 24 to go; a minute later there were 24 hours to go again.

Or, I'll be driving a new race car for the first time, and I'll forget they come with RH instead of RS.

That should give you a hint as to which tyres are right for them.

What event for zonda r ( already won Bugatti) wanted zonda r for a while but got 787b instead.

I have risen this thread from the dead.

Best thread bump EVER.

On an on-topic note (so as to prevent the thread from becoming locked) another "I'm an idiot" thing I've done in GT5: Wasted a Matte Dark Green paint chip on a VW Schwimmwagen. It looks good, but I can think of dozens of other cars I should've put it on instead.

I brought a 2J for 14 million when I found
out you could get a birthday ticket for it. But I got my credits back up to 20 million

My biggest idiot moment was when I went into my VW Beetle instead of my FGT. Then I went into the 24 hour Le-Mans race and before it loaded I shut off the T.V and went to bed. Lets just say my window was no longer a window when I woke up. In other terms I REALLY threw my PS3 out the window while it was closed. No Joke!

 

[Fire Yoshi]

My biggest mistake ever was buying the GT40 race car in the UCD before realizing that it can be won in a B-Spec race. That thing costs 20 million credits!!!

Edit: Oh, and what's a birthday ticket?

 

[99999Evolution]

Year Ticket

 

[Dabest]

On the month and date you set your B-Day on psn you get a ticket for the spesifec year you were born on. In that ticket you get a car that was made in that year

 

[Fire Yoshi]

Year Ticket

Because that helps, thanks. =/

Can this be done in succession? Or is there some sort of limit to it.

 

[99999Evolution]

You can only get it once

 

[Pit Crew]

Forgetting to Double check my tune sttings sheet and started a Bspec event with my drift tune on the car.

Forgetting to Double check my Profile and erased a save with my level 2 ticket on it, now I need one to complete full collection

Once again I have Risen this thread from the dead.

GOOD JOB!!!👍👍

With a wireless mouse in one hand and ds2 in the other, lets just say things get veeeery confusing...

Oh, I hate that quit button on B-Spec races... I HATE IT
I never quit an endurance luckily, but giving up certain 10 lap races after 7 were gone was quite terrible too.

My biggest mistake ever was buying the GT40 race car in the UCD before realizing that it can be won in a B-Spec race. That thing costs 20 million credits!!!

I bought three of these AND won it. No idea why I thought I had to get them again, again and again as I bought them after winning the first.
Then again it's my favourite 20 million car in GT5.

My biggest mistake was applying carbon hoods to some cars, the gave me these hoodpins which look terrible on a photo -.-

They did the same thing with my ferrari

Forgetting to Double check my tune sttings sheet and started a Bspec event with my drift tune on the car.

I did this before with my zonda r online and when I went out of the pits,I got severe wheelspin

Best controller ever. The next DualShock? DualShock 4: The controller with a mind of its own...

 

[Dabest]

Bump

 

[zuperkiwi]

I deleted all of my game data and updates because I wanted to win the Nascar race at Daytona (Extreme series). Not being able to turn off ABS/ASM makes this an impossible and highly frustrating job.
I feel like this is one of those things they really screwed up..... why??? 👎 🤬

Anyway, it seemed like you only get a black screen when you start GT5 without any of the updates...
So now I'm reinstalling all the game data and updates. Gonna take a while

 

[phil_75]

Not on GT5 but on this site I went to the "What did you buy today" thread - It was so pointless, boring and depressing that I found myself climbing the nearest tall building to jump off.
Luckily I snapped out of it half way up.

Just a Warning kids - Do Not Enter that Thread!

Imagine how bored and Sad you have to be to want to know what a stranger on the internet bought in a game!

If you find yourself about to click into it just STOP!!!
Put your pants back on and go outside - There are Girls!!!

 

[GUMP07]

Purchased a 20,000,000 credit Ford GT 40 racecar then won another in b spec endurance race the next day.

 

[von Stiefel]

I paused the 24H le Mans 4-5 minutes before the End, to get pen and papir.
Instead of resuming the race I restarted it. Bleh.

This.

 

[ISLAS CANARIAS]

I accidentally pressed restart twice 2h 40 into the 4h roadster challenge.

That happened to me three times in the first A-spec endurance event,
