    Yeah its great, people setup trackday like events and you just sit there and cruise round the 'ring (or any track, but really, theres only one ;D), day turns into night (really scary track in the dark), tyres wear down and you pit for fuel, then out and go round again. Awesome fun.

    Really getting into it now and can see this taking up a good bit of my time. Absolutely loving the Go-Karts!:D The first challenge on the Top Gear test track is some bitch, driving camper vans around in a line, I couldn't get past 8th or 9th, never mind first


    If you type "top gear camper van challenge" into youtube the 3rd result down shows a vid of someone coming first in it.. Haven't tried just yet myself...

    Over at GTPLANET forums there's a vid of a fella winning the gokarting special races backwords. It actually drives faster and relatively speaking is much, much harder to spin. I tried it myself, couldnt get a win though, but for somereason the karts elude me control wise anyway.

    Is anyone having difficulty using multi-player ? I've tried to join about 20 games but get an error about network compatability. Also , Is there a way to invite friends to a race ?

    There is probably some simple way of doing it but is there any way of saving two seperate games of Gran Turismo on the same console to have two seperate profiles?

    Do you mean like creating a new user account on the PS3? Or do you mean you want two separate profiles in the same user account?

    I think the only way to do what you're looking for is to create a new user on the PS3 (scroll all the way to the left on the PS3 main menu, press triangle on your user profile and sign out, and then select create new user). When you make separate users on the PS3 they'll have their own profile, PlayStation Network account and saves etc.

    Is that what you were looking for?

    Basically theres two people in the house trying to play Gran Turismo and just want to be able to play our own saves of the game. If that means setting up a whole new user I don't mind that.

    Yeah so if you just set up a new user like I explained before you'll have your own profiles and saves. If your PS3 is connected to the internet it means each user account will have it's own PlayStation Network account as well. If you download any other games or stuff for Gran Turismo from the PlayStation Store it'll work with any user profile that's on your PS3.

    surprised you haven't seen this about.... buy the corvette (zr1?) the newest one! and get it race modded in the auto shop. add all the tuning you can and turn the downforce all the way up!

    should cost about 500,000 and will win about three or four race events for you!

    I got the Mazda Furai by (iirc) winning the roadster championship in B-spec mode. The thing is a ****ing animal, 500bhp @ 600kg (I think I modded it a bit though). It's after winning me a solid fortune since.
    IMO, anyone who's B-spec driver is at that level should give it a go. The GT World Championships, The Tuned Car Championships and The Japanese Championships are just some of the events that this thing absolutely destroyed.

    Go to Tuning, next Body & Chassis ( 1st one on the list) & Aero.
    Tune the front aero to the max(35) & zero on the rear(30).
