If you go to the community part and look at your friends list, if they're online it will have a green dot next to their name

Sony has some sweet Christmas presents on the way for Gran Turismo 5 players. Owners of the recent racer can look forward to three free downloadable cars: the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640, the BMW M3 Coupe, and the Jaguar-XJ13. These cars have seen design arrangements by Polyphony and fall under the "Chrome Line" series.
The cars will be distributed through PlayStation Store from December 24 through January 31. Anyone with GT5 will be able to make the download for free.
Sweeeeeet!

Re: Gran Turismo 5
For anyone having difficulty finding the Formula GT car... try this...
"Enter the license tests.
Select B1 test. Keep using the next test icon until you reach B5.
Now exit the tests. You have 30 new cars in your used car lot.
If the Formula isn't in there, repeat the above"
From quick search at GTP.

Re: Gran Turismo 5
I'll take my PS3 to my mates house tomorrow to do a few things, I need to update Assasins Creed Brotherhood, Ruse and buy some cars on GT5. I have about 15 million in coinage but nothing really to spend it on at the moment.
Unlocked the Endurance events last night, haven't started one yet though. Was aiming for some extra coin to buy one of the old classic race cars for my b-spec'ers to complete the race against that bastard Toyota 7 thing.

You have reached B-Spec Level 35.
You win the following prize:
Red Bull X2010 S.Vettel gift car ticket.
I wasn't expecting that.

I can't get my lads to win the Level 21 races... Like the wind and Nascar... they keep hitting the brakes on corners you don't need to slow down on!

My settings for Daytona or very close to.......I can't double check right now as my B-spec drivers are doing an endurance race but I wrote these settings down as I was experimenting with settings from GT Planet.
Aero 33 & 55
Gears 380 kph
Ride Height 0 & -15 ( I think.....this is the only one I'm not 100% sure about but I didn't lower it much at all. )
Springs 18.5 & 19
Dampers 9 & 10
..........4 & 4
Rollbars 6 & 7
Camber 0 & 0
Toe 0.0 & 0.02 ( not 0.2)
I used these settings & sat the whole race hitting the increase pace button winning by 4 seconds.
Edit: just checked my Daytona car setup & it is exactly as written.

Re: Gran Turismo 5

At the nurburgring in a car i wasnt familure with.

Re: Gran Turismo 5
I have upgraded one of my Nissan Skylines.... now has about 850bhp... and it can beat GTR cars.... but it is crap in the corners! How can I tweak it to go around corners?

Re: Gran Turismo 5
I haven't really played that much with setup but put on the softest tyres you can for starters. Buy the 20K suspension upgrade & lower it a little. Generally I use around -2.0 camber front & -1.0 rear.

Re: Gran Turismo 5
I cannot work out why theres a level 35 race and the next race is level 40, other than to make you race a lot more to get enough credits. I'm annoyed because I only press the X button a few times every 24hrs.

I think the shit AI and Poor Standard cars and the fact it feels like it hasnt been updated since GT4 apart from graphics contributed to its poor sales

It just didn't feel like I had 6 years worth of development in my hands. That said, I haven't raced online yet and there is a fair bit for me to do still, however I just get more of a kick from photomode than actually racing at the moment.
