Has anyone got something to lend for the historic race in the expert series (pre 79'). I haven't got anything good. I've tries the buick special but it has zero downforce.

Just got to level 25 B-spec, on my first endurance race now. If I activate 'pit-strategy' can I basically leave and do something else while the ps3 does the rest?

Don't do anything to the pit-strategy, just leave it as is. This way the driver will only go in for a pit if the tire has gone out or the gas is low, even if his mental strength and strength is zero. Less pit stops = better time.

I will let you borrow the FGT next week, if it's not too late for you. I might need it this weekend as I try to get the Red Bull X1.

I think Zorro has the FGT too...

I just tried what you said and it worked like a charm
Only did the first one, since I'm still level 25, but damn the prize money really don't match the time spent! A race that takes over 2 hours should reward you a lot more than 30K?!?!

Of course I can wait til next week, all I'm doing right now is B-Spec to get more money. I've got my eye on the Citroen GT Race Car. Do any of you guys know if it's any good?

Jeeez...I have so much to catch up here ;o)

Just got a PS3 160GB slim + GT5 + G27. I have some problems sometimes with changing gear (For some reason it just gooes to "N" in manual when I change gear). Aside from that It's mucho fun. Only reached level 5 today....it takes some time to get used to it I think....

Most important...It's so much fun ;o)

that's because you're not clutching enough or not letting go off the gas enough while shifting.

I think you can win that, so definitely don't buy it... B-spec isn't a good way to get money but I'd rather do B-spec until level 35 and get a X1 than drive for hours to get up to level 30 in A-spec. Not to mention getting bronze in the Vettel challenge is supposedly difficult.

Friend of mine has been going insane about this. The IM history is hilarious. Just him swearing and going "WTF that's impossible!".
