Ughh…I might wash myself out of this room with my own vomit if I have to hear more of this filthy troll non-sense. Sell your game to someone who likes Gran Turismo…Go away. Any seasonal event is welcomed by me. If you’re not interested in the event, don’t play it.

Using the SR-Limited ’97 with 223hp 450pp managed a 52.500 fastest lap. Still tweaking the LSD and suspension. 3.360 final gear, top speed set at 130.

There are so many different models of Mazda mx5s. Which one should I choose to do this event with.
P.s. Not just the fastest but also the most fun as well. -

Seems like everyone loves MX5s. Why can I never find MX5 races online under EU/AUS.

To me, the people happily getting their MX-5s with such enthusiasm are the real fans. Kazunori loves cars, any car to be clear. This game is for the love of cars not for fitting each and every one of your expectations and make the game perfect. By the way if you want a challenge in this game, go to Arcade Mode, select professional class, get out a Formula Gran Turismo and select Nurburgring GP/F course and put it on real tire wear, heavy damage and 3 laps. Try to beat the AI without cutting anywhere on the track. If you do this assuming you had on Racing Soft tires, try Racing Hard tires to match what the AI is using :) Btw watch out because some of the AI randomly crash from overdoing a line from that new update. Good luck!

yeah that’s true indeed my mate.. I love racing my Miata (low powered) and racing in sports soft. :) The people who usually say “Oh bla bla is my favorite car” well, that’s not a real ENTHUSIAST that’s why when some people ask me what’s my favorite car in GT5 or in real life, i always say “I dont have any favorites. I like a thousands of them” haha cheers!

Well said indeed sir.

@RPM: I agree, I do have a favorite, but I do love all cars. I will bash Lambo occasionally because I love Ferrari but that just comes hand-in-hand :)
@Newfie: Thank you good sir.

Ridiculous: if you love cars, then there must be cars you hate. If you love music, there must be musics you hate…..etc…
Fed up with these comments about how GT is for car lovers and, if you don’t love every crappy car it has to offer, then you are not a car lover.Some cars are an insult to the love you can feel for cars in general. Mostly all the cars (i mean, mass production cars) are just made of bits taken from other models in order to… MAKE MONEY! The passion for cars is not shared by car manufacturers man. The passion for money is. They are people who make cars as they would make fridges or washing machines.
Asfor you assumption about Yamauchi loving cars… i guess he does (more than his job for I can see…)…but he doesn’t drive a Cappuccino does he?
For the seasonal events: as long as it’s optional, I have no problem with proposing the worst cars ever. I just won’t play it.

YES. A reason to put Blood Stone:007 on hold for a while. This will be my favorite seasonal event of all time, naturally.

I race with mx5 08
Fun half an hour …..not more … -

HOLY CRAP! There are !34! Miatas’ in this game! WOOOOOOOOOOOW! Mega LAME!

August 6th, 2011 at 8:30 am - #Tesla99
I think that just max of 5 Miatas are too many…

Why not a rally seasonal event? I would play that no matter the credits!

Dear PD,
PLEASE BRING BACK ONE LAP MAGIC!!!!

It would be even more informative if you told us how much we get in credits for each race

No way more time in the MX5!! It is fun to drive but I get flashbacks to doing 4 hours in it! World compact car seasonal wasnt that great either, i lowered my pp to same as the oppinents and put crappy tyres on and still blitzed everyone???

Autumn Mini and Tsukuba! I love them for this kind of car. Personally if I never saw Trial Mountain and SS5 ever again it would bother me one bit.

Agreed….I just hope they have taken advantage of the RUF licence. Have you checked the cars they are knocking out on their website?
I’ll be shocked if they don’t include at least one in any future DLC, especially as Forza 4 has a few of them lined up already…. fingers crossed guys!!!
-

yeah that’s true.. I mean, I don’t whine alot about GT5 but knowing that there are hints about DLC, I am wishing that there should be Porsche and Audi RS4.. Hopefully a BMW M3 CSl is a premium, Toyota Supra 97, etc.. Like Nissan Silvia S14 premium,(great drift car) and many more amazing cars in standards which needs to be premium. Oh I forgot, about tracks too way back in GT1-GT4. A lot to mention. But majorly, hopefully about those hints we saw in the posts before about Pikes Peak Climb? Hmmm…

The seasonal is better than nothing I guess. I’m still enjoying the 1 lap of nurburgring in British Lightweights. By far the most fun way of earning credits.
….on a different note, has anyone noticed someone is missing from the comments section?… lol
GTPlanet on Google+
I shouted a sad laugh while reading the combo of cars and track.
This is litteraly a sad joke. But at least its better then nothing.
