    Go to licences and scroll through 5 licences without clicking into them then return to the used car dealership and magic it has been refreshed with 30 new cars, keep doing this until the car you want shows up.

    I like the Used Car Dealer , but i want cars with few kms\mileage.
    washed and with oil change too.

    cmon KAZ team, im waiting the Online Car Dealership updated.

    1. Lambob

      I wish it had ALL in game cars, just make them Expensive. If I want it, I will pay with my hard earned credits. Last 6 refreshers, I’ve had all cars, still bought a couple more that I wanted, but I want access to the couple of cars I haven’t seen yet in my UCD, and I check it daily.

  5. AnTiheLT

    R390 GTI again i see, is the car being used….

    However a good thing they finally use Spa in the A-spec event

  6. fitftw

    Yay another 4 million easy credits. Will do after 24 hour B-spec endurance is over. Finally getting around to doing this…trying to 100% this game now.

  7. Master_gamer438

    @shmibal- No the wing goes up over 40MPH to create downforce, your thinking of the benz SLR whichs wing raises when the brake is applied. The LFA’s goes up at a certain speed and down at a certain speed, has nothing to do with the brakes.

    1. RX-7_FD3S

      @Mater_gamer438 Nope the LFA wing doesnt work exactly like that, check real life video you’ll see. It’s weird.

    Car of choice for Wet Spa seems to be the 2J but its twitchy as hell no way you can go flatout at any point during the lap with out the rears giving way or spinning up.

    But I have both golds so now maybe a run for fun.

    Have 20 mill in creds and only a few cars left to buy & those are taking ages to show up now in UCD.

    On a 2nd point B-Spec Spa is quick for making creds if you want to not baby sit your Bob use any of the 00 or 01 Nsx cars tuned to 564 BHP shorten the gears for 170 MPH & use a leval 37 or more BOB & just leave him to it 4 mill in 20 mins 8 mill in 40 mins.

    Ok now need to try another car out.

    1. KYD302

      The Xzani 350z works the best from what i’ve tried i was 4 seconds quicker then with the Yellow Takata NSX i tried the GTR versions r33 r34 r32 and r35 didnt have much luck with them being fast but the NSX and the Z have worked the best the 90’s Tom’s Supra didnt do me much good on this race which is weird because on most other races of this class it’s been my best car

    2. Lustika

      I took the 2J around and you can go flat out if you are a bit careful. I had TC on 3 i think and I am going to go with 1 the next time I get a chance to play. The thing with the 2J is that it´s great in the turns and its there you van make up some time i think. I did 2.26 with it and 2.29 with the Audi. (The one with the dieselengine). The Audi was extremely difficult to drive.

    3. Lustika

      I used the rain tires. Tried with others but they did not work at all for me. All in the top are using rain tires for what I can see.

    4. PIGBOY

      i used mobil 1 nsx ’01 lifter front up to 10/0…..anti roll 1/1 and a bit more camber 1.5/1.5 bob kicks arse

    1. jkt008

      Yes, you can. Just go over to your B-Spec drivers, click on one, and select Set to Online.
      Although, they can only be used for Remote Racing. They can’t be borrowed like cars.

  9. Turbo-Kai

    nice… but the pad drivers are more disadvantaged I am afraid…
    When PD will do seperate result lists for wheel and pad????

    but I don’t wanna complain… ;-)

    1. Vortex1be

      Don’t think driving with the wheel is easy. It takes lots and lots of practice.

      Althought once you get the hang of it u are ussually better than with the controller.
      However if you look at the top players on the time events and drift events then quite often you’ll see someone with a controller in first place.

      You can use your triggers or your 2nd stick for brake and throttle to have basicly the same control as a wheel.

    2. MetalJet

      I’m a pad user and I just used the 2J and golded it. Took about 3 or 4 laps to get the hang of it. I also messed around with the transmission a lot to keep the car from spinning the tires on acceleration as it really wanted to head off to the right under power. I used that to my advantage on right handed turns. =)

  10. MadmuppGT

    Err, could anyone recommend any cars for the Rain time trial? I’m using the RM Corvette ZR1 but its an utter pig in that weather… it can only get a fraction of the power down and when it finally decides to grip its time for another corner… Plus I have to keep the traction control on because without it is cant even go in a straight line at 35MPH… On that evidence remind me never to get in or even drive a Corvette ZR1 if thats how it handles in real life when it rains!

    1. MyFavoriteGame

      I used that GT-R from the first DLC, the one with the purple and the chrome with black….644 pp….got gold on my first lap…2.34.XX

    2. MadmuppGT

      I was just trying the a Detuned Bentley speed 8… and it understeers off at 40-50mph or spins completely at 60mph… now I dont know about race cars but I would like to think they could take a corner in the wet quicker than my 10 year old Celica can… Its more like driving on sheet ice than rain

    3. MadmuppGT

      Thanks MyFavouriteGame, I got gold using the GT-R, It should be an advertisement for the advantages of 4WD, the difference in enjoyment is just indescribable… Although there was the odd moment where the Nissan seemed to more than anything else to go play in a field…

      Imagine you will a dog, on a walk. everything is enjoyable, dog is behaving nicely and then all of a sudden BOOM it pulls to one side and you have to yank the lead back just to stop it going into a hedge haha

    4. fehome

      when you have problems, see the online best times and you will see in this one all best times was for CHAPARRAL 2J ;)

  11. GT HP Nut

    Both time trials are set on the Spa… seems like a real bargain for the players who haven’t bought the first DLC!

  12. Lotus380

    After this, i’ll be less than 2 mil from my 330 P4! Then i’ll be over 400,000 below my Aventador. Good thing the first car comes free!

    1. ucwepn

      do the B spec le mans challenge you get like $6 million with 200% bonus, super easy with the 2J on sports soft just never pit and keep him hot

  13. EVODUDE999

    dang it! i just shut my ps3 off because i have school in the AM! grrrrr….well i guess i need to do it tomorrow…..after school…..right….let the waiting BEGIN!

  14. BWX

    Cool… Hey PD/Kaz.. yeah you know.. how bout some more off-line A-Spec in the form of DLC? I’ll pay you real money!

    1. MyFavoriteGame

      How was was that guy going in that pic….why is the wing up in this 30-40 mph entry-speed turn?…or am I mistaken?
