Online Events Renewal - Feb. 26th

Yes it seems we are stuck in a loop of either same make,or same drive train races.
Seems I am in a minority, being I enjoy seeing the race grid with up to 10 different cars.

Aaah the good ole days, when you could see a 350Z,racing with and beating a GTLM.




And do you know that racer who use to beat the Fords with that silver 350Z? What about the intermediate PP750 Daytona...?
 
No quick tune for the F430 @ Suzuka. Stock car on N1s :)

It's interesting to say the least - bit of a cruel joke I think, PD!

I go along 110% with that joke.

For me, Quick Tuning is a nice thing for offline, but I'd like all online to go stock-only. No messing around, everybody on with the exactly same car.

See you on Suzuka, it is only race I'll race in this whole renewal 👍👍
 
Yep... it really is tricky combo!

For those, who have no chance yet to test that, here is few laps from my test-session... just you to see how it looks with N1's (HQ is still processing for while I think)

I have just watched the video. It looks painfully slow, and patience will be pushed in this event. I really can't see the point of what PD are upto with this event, or what their thinking is.
 
The new events are up:

Beginners:
compact cars/Suzuka East
mid-size/Eiger
sports cars/Daytona Speedway
supercars/Fuji Speedway F

Intermediate:
PP650/Suzuka
PP750/Daytona Speedway
PP650/Ferrari : Fuji Speedway F
Tuned Cars/High Speed Ring

Expert:
PP550/FWD Suzuka
PP550 RWD Fuji Speedway F
PP600/AWD High Speed Ring
PP650/Daytona Road
F430/Suzuka N1

hahahahahahahahahahahahahah! this isn't even worth commenting on, PD can you just give us private rooms so we can create our own races, i mean its bad enough that we only have 5 tracks (with different variations) the least you can do is let us choose what track/car combo we'd like to use.

*retires wheel from ps3*

*permanently leaves wheel hooked up to pc*

well at least KZ2 comes out tomorrow

I just gave it a go a few minutes ago and yes, it sure was painfully slow! The N1 tires in this game are like putting worn out all season tires on the car...absolutely pointless. Since when was a stock weight/hp 430 able to spin its tires accelerating in 4th gear going through a slight bend?. :dunce: We're supposed to be racing these cars, not taking control classes. :ouch:

These event updates just keep getting worse and worse each time. If they keep following this trend I won't be playing for much longer 👎. I mean why is 650 Daytona back already??? We just had that damn event the update before last! And then they provide us with a PP550 Fuji race once again, which we just had two updates ago, but was open to all drivetrains IIRC. Not only that but the last update had PP650 Fuji which again was unrestricted as far as tires...so all they really did this time was lower the PP limit, which will only slow the cars down on the straights. Wow...I'm sure excited for that change! I'm really becoming furious on this issue...where are the 750 cars damn it!!! Give us some variety! Sorry for the rant :crazy:

I might be doing the same thing when my wheel arrives next month. I'll just go out and pick up Rfactor or GTR EVO, and forget about GT5/P until PD gets their frickin act together. :indiff:

THIS!

please get rfactor, flying around the nurburgring in a vette is a blast.
 
If I pick up Rfactor I'll probably never want to touch GT5 again lol.

Wait, what am I thinking?...I much rather be limited to driving a Ferrari 430 around Suzuka for the millionth time, on drifting tires no less! lmao :dopey:
 
I wish they could change driving direction in tracks we have... would give more interest for these long months, to learn those same old circuits again.

Your idea is a good one and something I would like to see happen, but it wont. The fictional race tracks we have now, ie-HSR, Eiger are the only ones you will see reversed. Sanctioned (real) race tracks like Daytona, DRC and Suzuk. will never run in reverse. They dont run races in real life backwards on those tracks, so, sadly, you wont see them in the game.

HSR and DRC look good this update.
I'll Pass on F430 riding my daughters wagon wheels event. Drifters Paradise!!!
 
Done a few event today, mainly the FWD 550pp and RWD 550pp. Both are really good fun, the Focus ST struggles a little against the Integra on the straights and the corners, i guess because of its heavier kerb weight and nose heavy balance. I might give the Integra a go later, or maybe the Cooper-S?

As for the RWD event, took out the Clio V6, its too dominant! So might swap back to the 135i for a bigger challenge.

Now, the N1 F430 race! I can see this turning into a punters first corner, but providing you keep it on the track, you are almost assured a top 4 place finish! One question though, how doe's the computer assign grid slots, when all the cars are the same?
 
Hey everyone, played the new 650 N1 F430 challenge last night with some of you GTP guys, t'was a lot of fun.........eating dust.
Just wondering, are you guys using Traction Control or racing without? I'm racing without.
For anyone who was on line playing last night my on line name is The_Replacement. Lookin forward to some more racing.
My fastest lap time thus far is a 2.32.3xx
Gotta work harder.
 
I tried the F430 event, ran with TC off (as always), averaged 2:32 as well. It's not a bad race, but N3 tires would have been more appropriate.
 
Wow, someone Is listening.

PP750/Daytona Speedway: Its not pro like I've been wanting ,but its a start! 👍

Think I better get GT5:P out of file 13 before its too late! :lol:
 
Please give us ONE event in PRO with a higher PP, like 700-800... 500-650 is nice and a lot of fun... But getting old now, I wanna take out the tuned and FAST cars again for once... High PP with R-tires please!!! Who's with me??!
 
850 pp to me :lol: any track, laps or cars has long i can drive with my MINES:tup::grumpy:

True that! You know what Im talking about!

That car is too much for me too handle :grumpy:

Do you want some tunes? I got a bunch of good ones for the Mines... :sly::sly: Its is my fav car of course... :lol:

-sorry if Im getting off topic here... first post was relevant though :D
