Just a quick note for those of you close to the 20mil limit. Lets say you have 19,900,000 in your GTLife "bank". If you do a "receive prizes" on driver with 400,000, you will LOSE the 300,000 that will put you over 20mil. I tested this, and once you hit 20mil when receiving prizes for a driver, any left over is not "saved" back to the online driver prizes, but simply "lost".
Hello to all I just registered to the site and here is my first question.. I try to host a race with another two friends from my pc at work. I have done all the steps correctly in order for this to work but when I try to start the race I get this ERROR msg.
( Unable to retrieve race start information from the game server. ) anyone knows why this happens?

Does anyone know if remore races actually go towards the b spec driver 500 race target for the Air of Experience trophy? I have done 275 races with my bob and he is at lvl 40, but after remote races his career bar does not seem to have moved. I have another bob on lvl 16 on 34 remote races only and his career bar hasn't moved either, thanks.

so i'm currently doing remote racing for the first time and it's pretty cool. however i'm having an issue getting driver OR b-spec experience. i'm definitely getting credits, however i'm not seeing my experience go up for the bspec global or my individual driver. what's going on?

Rewards are accumulating online. You need to go the drivers profile (through the drivers list) and press the 'collect prize' button. Then it will transfer the credits and XP to your save. đź‘Ť

The W12 Nardo can lose! I've run dozens of Trial Mountain 12 lappers, and the Nardo has ALWAYS won, sometimes with crazy leads, but this time it lost. That being said, the Vantage always loses badly.
Crazy results:
(Level) - (Car)
23 - 430 Scud
23 - R8
35 - GT by Cit
22 - W12 Nardo
30 - Ford GT
30 - McLaren MP4
35 - 458 Ital
30 - Gallardo
37 - LFA
35 - Corvette Z06
34 - SLS
24 - GT-R
23 - V16T
35 - CTR2
22 - Viper
31 - Vantage
I'm surprised at how well some mid-20's level racers have been doing, regardless of race/car versus mid-high-30's level racers. I think I've chosen poorly when building Bob's compared to a lot of guys I remote race.

When hosting a race from the PS3 Im finding it takes so long to bring up other friends drivers, that by the time ive picked 15 others to race with its took more time than the race itself. Im also experiencing what seems to be a crash of some sorts during the driver picking process that takes me back to the select race screen and I have to start again. Is anyone else having similar issues when doing remote races on the PS3?

Hi all,
Got another question for the FAQ.
Do remote races advance your game days (and as such, refresh your UCD)?
I'm curious because had a car come up I really wanted to buy, but was a little short on money. An Indy or 2 will get me there though.
However if remote races update my UCD... and I've already done a few remote races since I last checked my UCD...
I'd see for myself, but I'm not home right now. If it does update the UCD, I'd stop remote races until I get home. If it doesn't I could keep 'm coming.

Remote racing cycles the UCD. But only on the host. Will add this to FAQ.
yonis already discovered pictures for other events, but so far, the events haven't changed yet.

^^^^ beat me to it by 4 minutes.
A quick comment about this issue - because the XP/CR gained resides on the server (before you 'receive' the prizes), it's possible to reverse any UCD cycling caused by hosting races. You simply backup your save before the hosting session, then go ahead and proceed to host as many races as desired. Once you're ready to cash out, exit the game and restore your backup: the UCD will be back to the state it was, and your driver XP/CR will still be intact.

That is correct. Also, if you select one of your drivers, then close the browser, and open it right back up, it's still unavailable and you need to wait for a few minutes for it to be freed.
