For anyone needing quick, relatively easy credits, do the GT Sport time trial. Getting the 2 million credits may not be worth your effort and time, but getting the 1 million credits is relatively easy. I did the Interlagos one, last night, and got it in two laps. There was no way I was going to put any more effort into it.

Give it a try.

Also, is it my imagination or is the damage model more advanced now?

Yes, the demage is more sensitive
 
For those who care, here is a simple way to improve the quality of our lobbies. I recommend this procedure before entry in the lobby.

1- on the main screen access the on line race area

2 - On the next screen select the item in the circle

3 - If you get a error message like this...try again

4 - if you keep receiving failure messages, enter in one of the on line lobbies (don't need to enter in the lobby, just the lobby area where you choose witch race you want to go), exit and try again..until you get a message like the next..

5 - As a result you may get a screen like the next if the connection is not good....

6 - The simple thing that you can do is restart you ISP router or modem, you don't need to deal with the PlayStation. Just wait to the modem/router start and try again. If you have a image like the next, you're good to go.

Hey Guys, I just want to give a little more info on the Professionally tuned car races .You can find them in your garage under car type, then select professionally tuned. They are available to be purchased in the Brand central dealership (some under the manufacturer name, some under the tuning shop name) . Most of the cars I tested do not need to be tuned ,just adjust tires and power to get to the 600PP limit .I will tell you the Amuse Super Leggera ,Toyota S-FR Concept 16,and of course the Honda Civic Type R Touring Car are A GOOD BET TO START WITH .Just add a few mods to bump up power or go with a softer tire .There are a few cars that are a handful to drive ,but I'm sure Master GT will say they handle great :lol: I have been wanting to use these cars as a group for a while now. I'm not sure if it this is going work but we will see .:cheers:

Heads-up: there is a small system update to contend with before going on-line.

On Monday, we came across a car that performed poorly after adding a widebody kit to a car that handled reasonably beforehand. It also put the PP rating out of range, too.
