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

[Dodswm]

Let my girlfriend have a go on GT5 and she painted one of my favourite cars pink

 

[TopGearFTW]

I was doing a race on Nurburgring Time Change, and it started getting dark, so I thought "OK, one more lap then pit for some night tires"

HURRRR DURRRR

 

[Gejabo]

I put Dirt tyers on my Viper SRT8...
I thought I had selected the Subaru but forgot to accept..

I did a race on Eiger Nordwand with the Buick Special and I saw a cutaway on the straight and I thought it may be another layout my curiosity got the better of me and I went down only to find out it was the pits

 

[Southend Rage]

Well, it wasn't leaving Bob alone for 20 Minutes while I had a wash.
He was fine!

But rushing out when I was done, slipping head over heels, nosebleed, is the biggest idiotic thing, i've done all year.

Merry Christmas! xD

I accidence entered the GT all starts championship while still in my Nascar. As it happens I managed to win 3 of the races, but the last two defeated me and i just missed out on the championship.

I drove up there too just for the hell of it, suddenly it switched to cockpit view I was like WTF???

 

[JackC8]

Spent over two hours doing that first endurance race. That was the second time I did that race - the first time, I got about a half level worth of exp. Level 29, here I come! Yeah, at my current level, that race gave me more like 1/5th of a level of exp. Could have gotten more doing a couple of Formula GT races and save myself 90 minutes of utter boredom.

Also bought a Fiat 500 for that seasonal race. Put tens of thousands of credits into modifying everything but the engine. Okay, now it's 200 kg too light to enter the race. Bought another one and changed the oil. Now it's got 1 hp too many for the race. Drove it in some beginner level events thinking the engine wear might knock of a horsepower. Nope. Was fun passing everybody in the twisty sections and then having them all drive right past me again on the straight though.

Accidentally send my brother my fully tuned 01 nsx r concept and he wont give it back, also now it won't show up in the ucd...I guess I'll just have to go to his house and steal his Enzo when he's not home

 

[Jlagreen]

Yestrerday, I golded Nürburg in X2010 and I was so happy that I stretched my arms and threw myself back hard. Because of that I fell backwards from my couch and hit my fingers on the floor.

Since then my left middle finger hurts so I can't try to golden the other 2 events

 

[sumbrownkid]

I bought the old Fiat 500 for the seasonal events, only to find out that I had to buy the '08 car.

Little Fiat still in my garage though making friends with the ZR1 RM and the Focus WRC.

 

[saintadjg]

In the early part of game, i bought Fiat 500 (the premium one) cause I had kind of nostalgia on that car, so i decided to use it in some classic cup (i think its the first classic cup in game).
I spent all my money (around) 200000 on every upgrade possible, after which it had whooping 80HP.

And imagine my shock/dissapointment when i started race. As the countdown finished, the little thing started shifting gears like crazy, like a race car, but it still wasn't egnough as the other cars where beating me on acceleration, it just looked ridicilous And the 100kmh top speed (which i tweaked later) didn't helped too.

Later, after some tweaking i actually managed to win with it, after a few dozen tries.

Ha ha i did exactly the same thing .Now i have my wheel and more cash i've gone back and tried again with adjustable transmission.Havent got golds yet(with Fiat 500 got em with Ferrari) but get closer each try.The acceleration with the close transmission is prety impressive till you peak at 55mph

 

[BSpec]

I ran out of fuel during the Grand Valley 300 today. Twice

I paused the 4 hr tskuba race at 3 1/2 hours to watch judge judy. Dark clouds gathered, I tried to finish but the power went out. If I hadn't paused it to watch JJ verbally berate poor people I would've just made it

Wow, if Judge Judy cost me 3.5 hours, I'd sue her!

 

[MenT123]

3 hours 54 minutes in the 4 hour endurance on Tsukuba, my finger slipped and pressed X on the "retry" button... Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawd I'm so pissed right now.

 

[The Carminator]

Yes we know, we read it in chat LOLOL

Baby Jesus loves u, even if he did die for ur sins

 

[screaminbeagles]

Nurburgring, Dream Car championship, in the rain. I saw that it was raining pre-start, so I put on racing tires. I still spun out a couple times on lap 1, so I was in 2nd as the first lap ended. I guess the computer cars hadn't put on rain tires, so they all went into the pits. I followed the leader into the pits. I could have had a huge lead, but instead finished 2nd in race, lost the championship.

hurrrr durrrr

rofl!!

 

[1ac4u2nv]

I have a bad tendency of e-braking into the finish line. Thinking I was on the final lap I did my routine. To my shock the Chapperel passed me and I let out a yell, Nooooooo!!! I could not catch it on the final lap. I felt like moron. I was in first the whole time before that. My wife laughed, and validated my feelings as she called me a jackass...

 

[gruchov]

Deciding to buy my first high end car and go with the 2.6 million dollar (All my money) Zonda without checking the prize car list. Literally my first set of races with it was the GT World Championship and won a second one, which neither one allows me to sell....

 

[sporkafife]

I was on the 20 lap FGT race at Fuji, I thought I was about to cross the line to finish the race so I pulled the handbrake and spun over the line... to my horror there was still one lap left and all I could do was sit there and watch all 11 other FGTs pass in front of me

 

[ebhk]

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

I just did the same thing with 2 hours and 58 minutes. I was so close to through my controller into the TV!!

PD please in the next update make a request if you want to reset or quit the game!!

 

[ninhasso]

doing a barrel roll in the last turn of the last lap of a lot of laps in deep forest raceway

the whole race in first, finished third

 

[GilesGuthrie]

Shift key broken ninhasso?

 

[Nixo]

I did the same exact thing Sunday morning around 2 am. I then just sat there cursing at my tv for 5 minutes and went to bed.

Just happened to me too. Im very dissapointed to my self.

 

[LazyYouth]

Buying a Countach 25th aniversary in the online dealership only to discover it can't compete in the Supercar Nostalgia in Amateur. Oh well, still such a good car

Something that is typical 'me':

I accidently entered a championship by clicking on the first race instead of on the championship logo.
I noticed this and thought to myself: When it's loaded I need to exit and start over.
Somewhere in the 40 second load time, I completely forgot about this . Had an exciting and difficult race, which I won, only to return to find the 'next race' button missing afterwards. Then it all came back to me.
