London was a b$#%& to pass. Took me 20 tries lol bought the blitz then the aem s2k….when I had a FC laying around which I ended up beating it with! The sharp lowspeed drifts were irritating. -.-

Worked for me. D1 Formula trial was my fave. RS 4 Genki Silvia a beast.

drifting on wheel or controller? everything’s working for controller :)

Drifting on a wheel seems to work for many in the top 100. Im in top 1,500 on london, top 1,060 at Indy and can probably get better if I keep at it.
I set my cars to react to torque shifting and minor left right inputs, only using HB for the sharpest of turns or bizarre angles. I visualize my car drifting on an Axis for GT5 physics.
I was stumped at first but I love drifting so I figured it out and worked around PDs design flaws when it comes to Drift.

Another thing Ezekiel you probably drive in real life and not being in contact with the Drivers seat wheel stick shifter, clutch, etc may be throwing you off, but dude you cant let PD win…you can do it. :)

Can’t go wrong with a skyline. :)

Enjoyed the Deep Forest time trial. It’s a great circuit, and I for one don’t use Skylines too often. It was way easy to gold though… quick $$’s.

I manged to get a top 20 time in with my Nur! Although, it’ll probably be top 1000 (at the very least) in a day or so >_>
Oh well, at least there’s no 2Js. lol -

@BaTsBR
I was shocked as well to see D1 in the title. Let see if we can get class event. GT1 and so on. -

Mentioning the words “Nissan Skyline” with “GT5″ makes the Baby Jesus cry.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but as far as I can remember this is the first seasonal event, or even a-spec event bespoke to skylines. Which is odd considering there’s 1000 skylines in the game.
Also, I dig the fact that PD works so closely with Nissan. PD did all the graphics for the GTR’s onboard displays right?

There are only ~40 Skylines in GT5, but the rest of what you said is true.

Ooh brother. Typical PD and Kaz as always. NISSAN CARS… I was thinking about forgiving them, but than this event showed up… *Sighs*, as always I say… No wonder I stopped buying Nissan cars from other games, so sick of them. ALL thanks to KAZ and PD, just by this ONE event. You’re the best PD, you’re the best.. >_>
I guess the SKYLINES AND GT-Rs are gonna strike AGAIN in GT6… UUUUUUUHHHG…. ~_~’

Omg how did I know that I would see nothing but negative comments? It’s a game. If you don’t like it don’t play it.

Hearing “If you don’t like X, don’t play/buy X,” is getting as old as the complaining.

^ I agree SO MUCH with that statement. We want to play this game series, so we want it improved. Some don’t see another option as better. With regard to the DLCs and Seasonals, “don’t play them” or “don’t buy them” aren’t good excuses – because now we need to wait another week to 6 months (depending on the subject matter) for the new, hopefully appealing content, which could’ve been what we got this time around, had the developers simply looked at what the fans want.

^^^ +1 to the last three comments. The if you complain/do not buy is not cutting it anymore. In the end we are the consumer and expect a great product, if it is s**t or if it needs improvement, then it is our right to complain. In this case, it is bulls**t that we are not getting decent seasonal events, content, and others.

Isn’t this the only seasonal event with the gtr? Nor exclusive for any Nissan car? Lol besides the GT academy? Stop complaining dude lol

Wow, Polyphony does know how to make a black list. Now if they can incorporate a black list for online races…Obligatory statement.
I have yet to try these out, but they do look like fun this time around. And the D1/FD was a great idea. But the Skyline, took me nearly 6 seconds to find one. Way too much time to find one, super rare! lol
