    I think that was his point!!!:confused:

    Definetly not. I have a Driving Force GT and the clamps are weak as hell.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,503 ✭✭✭M00lers


    Ahh I see......are there any inserts for hard mounting?

    The next level gives the SLS AMG around it. The car is fcuking amazing. Absolutely whores it and controls really well

    Aye this is nice alright, using manual i found it best to try and stay out of 2nd gear on the slower corners. Managed gold on the first 2 parts of it, handles very nicely.

    Edit: Jeff Gordon can go die in a fire!

    How do you unlock the Veyron?

    Top Gear challenges are tough enough. Not too fond of the NASCAR challenge either very heavy handling on them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55 ✭✭Quinntan


    You complete the Gran Turismo World Championship in the Professional Series.

    The Top Gear ones are hit and miss. The last one adds in the possibility of being taken out by Nazis.

    Does the Top Gear track have to be unlocked to do practice laps on it?

    Liking it so far haven't played online though. They should have a co-driver on the rally driving parts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55 ✭✭Quinntan


    Nope, you need to win one of the races on it (I think)

    If you drive a Premium car on the rally stages, you do get a co-driver!

    It really was!

    This is great. The menu system isn't as bad as I was expecting.

    I love winning cars. No matter how useless they are.

    Yeah, great when you win a good car. I hate the front on view in the dark they give you when you take delivery from the truck


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    Yeah, I'd like to see it drive out of the truck. The only thing I really hate is that casio keyboard demo style piano music in the menu. You hear it every time you have to re-start a test and for me, that's a lot of me' hearing that track.

    Custom soundtracks are making this so good, though.

    It's especially stupid when you win a Mazda Demio or a 91 Honda Civic.

    Ok so i was in 2 minds weather or not to get this, but i gave into temptation (as usual :D). Went for the Full Install from the start and now have "Approx. 20 mins. left". The tension is killing me.

    Cant wait to get cracking on it. I can see myself spending a load of time using the Photo mode as i have seen some classy pictures on the net taken from it. Anyway, i'll prob be online later too. My PSN ID id : irish_stevo for anyone interested.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55 ✭✭Quinntan


    Added :p

    The installer lied to me, it took it much longer than 20 minutes


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,818 ✭✭✭Minstrel27


    The installer was less accurate than Windows XP and that says a lot

    Ha ha me too. All in all it took just under half an hour. But when it said 10 seconds remaing, it was more like 2 minutes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55 ✭✭Quinntan


    Quality Sony products, those PS3s are :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,073 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Is the rally challenge in special not loading for anyone else? I've tried twice now and the race won't start.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    I suped up a Mustang to win the FR Challenge and I won this car, FT-86 Concept '09

    Toyota-FT-869.jpg

    Such a good car, I drove it in the Clubman Cup and won with ease. I know it's only the Clubman Cup, but I'm still fairly bad at this game, so it made me happy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,544 ✭✭✭Hogzy


    F430 Scuderia is by far the best car i have driven in the game yet. I think its much better than any of the lambos/Ford GT or astons. Its so forgiving if you oversteer. VERY EASY to control.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    Uh Oh. Photo Mode. There goes the next few hours...

    This is great.

    Can you resize that image to something more manageable? It's crazily large to be embedded in a post.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,544 ✭✭✭Hogzy


    Does anyone have any advice for the Top Gear Special Event on Intermediate. Im trying to get this dam Elise 111r around the top gear track and can barely get passed the first few corners. I either spin out or crash into one of the other drivers which disqualifies me. Any small tap and im disqual. Its really annoying cant get passed it!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,248 ✭✭✭Plug


    Did anyone come across an M3 csl? I can't see it anywhere and whats the story with the new car dealers, they only have a few cars of each. Wheres audi and the RS4 and the rest, BMW with the likes of the new GTS etc NOTHING! When I go to the second hand garage all i see is crap. Most of it jap cars all the bloody same.

    The dealers only sell the New cars to the series which are the Premium Cars. There are only like 200 of these in the game, whereas there's 800 second hand cars in the game

    I wouldn't mind but most of the 'new' cars they are selling are old models. Has anyone come across a guide for cars? That sh!tty second hand car shop is pissing me off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,609 ✭✭✭irish_stevo815


    I only got the game today but have been playing all evening and I do agree that the the whole Used Car system is a bit odd. I like the idea that the List is constantly changing but it would be easier if there was some Serach option in it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55 ✭✭Quinntan


    Unfortunately plug, from what I've read it seems to be entirely random. You just have to check after every race and hope you've got enough credits to buy the car you're after.

    Anyone want a free Chromeline Jaguar XJ13 and a racing suit

    Follow the instructions in the link

    You need a facebook account to do it though.

    I wonder if there are any more freebies like this lurking online.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,073 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    I need a pick-up truck so I can complete the amateur series, now the endless wait for one to show up second hand
