    PD need to focus on f1 I mean really only 2 official formulas in the game and they’re both ferrari’s

      Kaz and PD have said multiple times that they wanted to have F1 but the FIA is absolutely ridiculous with the terms of an F1 license. The only reason you even have those 2 Ferrari’s is because Ferrari owns their own license.

    Does anyone know if there will be a update on the new gen6 nascars..??? plz update NASCAR ..

      I hope so! I really love the Gen6 NASCAR, with its flared wheel arches and all. That car looks good and it actually gets me excited about NASCAR and the last car certainly didn’t do it. It kind of reminds me of DTM, in how they are based off of street cars but still look about that much different. I think the car would be really fun to see in some road racing so I hope NASCAR adds some more road courses because I could really get into those.

    I’m not much into drifting but a lot of the top scores in the ’80s drift trial are front wheel drive crap pots. PD needs to regulate RWD or at worst AWD only.

      Why?

      @ fordskydog
      Why? Because driving a FWD carat 35mph in 5th gear with the handbrake on is NOT drifting. That’s why. Where is the skill in that?

    I like the fact pd included NASCAR, just hate the cars. Too big and cumbersome for anything but ovals

      They drive so nice on the Nordschleife, all that weight makes it planted, easy to find a tune, without extreme settings.

    If their going to have NASCAR in gt5 they at least need to add Watkins glen and maybe a short track like Richmond or martinsville.

    NASCAR SUCKS why must we drive these horrible “cars”.

      At least it’s not Bspec…I’d rather see anything than more Bspec. I’m not the biggest fan of PD’s use of NASCAR in the game, but it’s nice to see they are at least using the different race cars available. Now if they could only have a GT300 race in the Seasonals…

      Who is telling you to drive them? Just don’t do the time trial & go be miserable somewhere else, because this complaining is not welcome here

    Interesting seasonal, especially the NASCAR one at SPA I might try it some time.

    I wonder what car is gonna win the Racing Car drift trial?
    Wait, I know, the Toyota 7 “what a suprise”. I would like to see better regulations so we get to see different cars in the top 100 instead of 1 or 2 if your lucky enough.

    Does anyone know what you get for being the top score/time? Do they give you anything like credits or XP? I’m always around the top 1000. Cracked 250 once and still nothing from the game as far as achievements or anything. It would be nice… Always end up at the top of my friends as well they could give us something for that too!
