I have two questions:
I asked this one earlier, but it got lost in the Ford/Jaguar babble:
I heard that there were rumours the PAL version would support a HDD for saving multiple gamesaves and downloading new tracks and cars. Now I'm pretty much sure this is not in, but still a confirmation would be nice.
About saving in endurance races:
Wouldn't it be possible that you can only save after an amount of time when you're in A-Spec mode? In B-Spec mode saving would be a bit pointless as you're not playing the game by yourself anyways. Just a thought ...
Cheers,
the Interceptor

He is using the Lupo (the car you use appears at the top of the screen). He is looking at the FPV car in the showroom.
Amar I think the Sqaure button will bring the commentary in the replays (video camera mode I think rather than the other one... assuming its the same as the Australian version).
At least I will be able to do the S-16 test properly as I tried that Merc last night and managed a time of 7:15 (which would get me a silver) on the Japanese version.
A question Amar. With all these new Lexux models (the SC300 was the Soarer in the Japanese version) do the equivalent Toyotas no longer exist in the game?
I heard a rumour that Scion was in the American game in the American Hall of Manufacturers. Is that the case with the PAL version? If so are the equivalent Toyotas there?

Beats me. Been playing for almost 2 months now and still haven't find a way to make it speak. Have to try it tonight...
And as for S16 test, it is one nice drive in fact... Much more less nervous then Sauber. It is not a problem to manage a silver at all, as for gold you have to make a perfect lap on all sections, keeping the revs high for exit speeds. And notice that EvoII drives like a dream, sounds like a dream and revs like a dream up tp 10 000 rpm
.And for Interceptor: Have no HDD so I just would not know.
And as for A-Spec driving 24Hrs... maybe when I take some days off. Once. In the future

PanzerFaustNo, I meant the normal, road-going, every-day Renault Clio that you see in the streets all the time.. That car (as I have been "forced" to drive it a few times) is horrible in my opinion.. Sorry if I offended you with my "sweeping" remarks..
Cheers!
No offence taken, to me the standard Clio is no more or less exciting that most of the other cars in its segment, and as you say we are all free to hold our own opinions.

Now, I know what I said about all of us having our own opinions, but have you driven a Clio V6 (Mk 1 or 2). I have and stupidly dangerous is not a term I would use with either of them.
The Mk 1 was tricky on the limit, but less so than a just about every pre'90s 911, yes when it lets go it does so quickly. However this is the case for a lot of MR cars, not just the Clio V6. The Mk1 was also a lot more prone to this in very cold or wet weather, and its not impossiable to catch one when it lets go, that I can promise you.
Now, the Mk2, thats a different story, the car is far more communacative and progresive than the Mk1, and while it will step out of line if you push to hard its easier to read the cars limits.
You should remember that any car with a very short wheelbase will spin quicky if you pass the limits, one of my old cars was a Pug 205 GTI. Lift off the throttle (kift-off oversteer) when on a wet bend and the car would quickly swap ends.
Stupidly dangerous? In my opinion, no. Just cars that need a degree of respect when driven hard. Fun and it keeps you on your toes.

@ Vipersan: thanks! 
But Amar edited his post (11:10) after I wrote mine (11:06). First I thought I missed that bit, but I'm sure it wasn't in there before.
Anyway, thanks Amar and Vipersan! 👍

To clear a series (the ones consisting of single races, rather than a Championship - the Championship you just repeat). You click a race and will be prompted to clear it (that is what I assume it says as I only have the Japanese version at the moment). You confirm and it will clear the trophies so that you can do the series again for the prize.

Is the FPV GT still a 5 speed or has it been updated to a 6 speed? The bonnet stickers are from the Mark 2 GT I think, which has a 6 speed gearbox.
Gt3 was good, but it had a few major flaws. The most important ones was virtually no AI and it was to slow compared to ntsc edition. Has seen some videos on the february dvd from the PSW magazine. GT4 Seems to have a much better sensation of speed. Is this true?
Has also heard som ugly rumours that states that some of the cars can only be bought on spesific gamedates
is this true? It would suck to find a cool car only to realise that you do not have enough credits to buy it. And with the not-so-cool autosave feature, that kind of thing will piss me off
Is the AI better in GT4 in any way when compared with GT3? Have heard that the AI learns your driving stile and adapts the driving somewhat accordinly. Is this true?
Good job on your PAL update so far. Keep it up 👍

Can't say for GT4 , but as for GT4 Prologue, the answer is yes, the sensation of speed is better. I would also add that it's even better with the DFP Logitech. Of course it doesn't change anything about the rate, but you feel the road much better. It really worthes it.teo72Gt3 was good, but it had a few major flaws.

Still in GT4P, the AI is slightly better, but not by too much. Interesting point I noticed is, when you have an opponent trying to get aspired in your back, and at the point you brake for entering a hard corner, the opponent makes quite often the mistake to brake too late, and gets out of the Road. So the trick is to try yourself breaking the latest possible, without exiting the track. Nice then to see the other going out in the mudd ! I did that several times with the Mac Laren F1 GTR on the Fuji Speedway. (the opponent was a GT one or a Nissan R390GT1).teo72
As for GT4, I' ve read some threads saying the AI was still very bad ;but on the other side, I've seen some videos where the AI wasn't ridiculous at all, each opponent trying to keep his position or overtaking (in the long traight of the Hunaudieres, Le Mans track).
Wait and see 9th March.....
The AI is not brilliant.
There are some used cars that don't appear that often in the used car lots. The rarest are the 4 Black Le Mans cars that are in the used lots for the last week of its 700 day cycle. You need over 7,200,000 (PAL or American - 720,000,000 Japanese) to buy them. I think it highly likely they will still be there on the English Language versions.
Used cars are the only ones that are sometimes difficult to find. The rarer ones include the Lotus Carlton and the Nissan Silvia 240 RS.

So you can buy the red number 1 Audi R8 in the Japanese version, is it still possible in the PAL version? and is it maybe even possible to also buy the yellow number 2?
