    Are there any free cars I can download lads?

    I just did GT5 thing on facebook and got a free XJ13 Jaguar Race Car, which is nice!

    Any other DLC I should know about? Loving it so far, got the B, A and IC licenses, and cleared all of the beginner races bar the Japanese one. Early days yet, I know, but still really loving it!

    Check your settings both in the XMB and in the game. I think the game only actually runs at 720p so an update may have changed one of your settings to not force fullscreen. If you can't see anything then try switching modes with the TV remote, "super live" and the like.

    according to the back of the game box it does 1080p

    I wouldn't believe that, a lot of games on the PS3 in particular prefer to run at 720p and let the TV do the upscaling, they have to be manually set to 1080p and have 1080p on the box.

    I haven't got the game so I don't know where the settings will be in the games.

    I remember having to adjust the game screensize when I first played it, maybe see if you can do that again?

    There might be a way of doing it through the options menu on the main screen for GT.

    try to slide as little as possible. i found just driving normally around some of the tight hairpins ended up faster than trying to drift around them.

    its not easy but if you brake and turn in early you'll end up right at the inside barrier and carry more speed out of corners.

    Any chance of getting an online room going for boards? I'm finding it very hard to get decent racing online.

    Added.
    I was thinking of having a Boards.ie lobby. Probably would be a handy way of doing it. It'd then be recognisable to everyone.

    nice one. the bad news is the advanced gravel rally is way harder and against other wrc cars.

    i only won it by around 2 seconds while i was over 2 minutes ahead on the snow. there always seemed to be one stage where the ai cars could go 8-10 seconds faster regardless so dont give up if you find yourself behind.

    Right lads, to complement Kev_PS3's Championship on the weekend I'm thinking of hosting a Championship for midweek. I was thinking Tuesdays at 9.

    I was thinking we'd start with a Touring Car type Race on Monza. An easy track to start.
    It'll be a one car race for the first one anyway. I might widen the field to two or three in the following rounds.

    The first one could be tomorrow at 9 depending if we get enough people.
    Qualifying would be for half hour before hand.

    Length: Two races of 5 laps
    Car: Not sure*
    Circuit: Monza**

    * The car I pick will be Max 300bhp for the first round.
    ** Not sure if this circuit really suits lower powered cars so may be changed.

    If any one is interested let me know my PSN is jebuslives. Say we'd need at least 8 to start.

    More details to follow.

    Current Competitors:
    jebuslives
    phoniexknight
    wolforager (maybe)
    Kells97
