I felt the difference between cars like PP but weight differences
and hp / torque, my question is that the cars are a certain weight settings may
but in the circuit, add the weight of the driver (pilot) or weight
fuel? is a very important factor that is missing out.

It would be good to start GT picking random driver weight
so well how to choose the amount of fuel before each race.

Thanks.

Vehicle weights are largely "kerb weight" - including a 75kg driver. The weight of fuel (and other fluids) is included in this, but it does not decrease in GT5 as you use fuel.
 
As far as I can work out - He knows that already.

I think the ability to be selective about fuel amounts would be nice, especially so in endurance races.
Deciding between a fuel tank and refilling more often to have less weight or having more weight for less stops would add to the strategy.

As for randomised driver weight - I'm not okay with this as it takes an element out of your control.
 
sometimes when i do the 24hr races i get really tired and my shoulders hurt a lot. now i need to back up my data because my ps3 drive has stopped working and im not sure if i need to buy a new one or replace the old drive but im not exactly sure how.

if the father contacts the old guy and he says " hi im here for you." whats do you do then?

That post is for this Thread?
But you can enter in the console menu?
if the HDD die, you lost that savegame.

First, try a buy a HDD 2.5 SATAII (or SATAIII, np) or SSD, because
this option is more cheap than buy another console...

Good luck.

Spread the happiness, dude. Don't keep that good stuff to yourself!

What do you mean with "does not decrease in GT5 as you use fuel"? If you use fuel your car definitely does get lighter, although I don't know if the fuel counts as additional weight or not.

Before a race start? Because during the race it is already possible. Sadly we don't know if it shows litres or percent (I guess the latter).

I know you can change the amount you fuel up 👍 I put a lot of effort into tyre management lately so I synchronize my fuel and tyre usage for shorter fuel stops.
However I don't recall the car feeling lighter when at 50% fuel; which when that's 55 litres of fuel less (?) it would be a noticeable weight difference, surely.
 
It is very noticeable to me. The car becomes much more responsive and lap times drop substantially. Or at least that's what used to happen when I was running the enduros back when the tires wore out so much faster than the fuel burned off. May of course have been some sort of placebo effect, but I'd reliably go from losing ground on the rabbit at the start to easily gaining every lap with a tire-life load of fuel... until the last stint of the distance-based races when they would short-fill and start running much faster laps than before. AI pace does sometimes vary for inexplicable reasons but that seemed to pretty much always happen.

Didn't notice it so much recently when I ran Laguna on a whim the night before the Ring24, but I was really just cruising around and spent most of my heavy stint playing with traffic, and most of my light stint getting tired and mildly intoxicated(while running my fastest laps). So probably not a whole lot of reliable testing data that night.
