Advice dealing with.....?

 

[Schwartz]

The following is quoted from the Holy Book of Turismo:

- Thou shall spread the word as it's written in the great forum of GTPlanet.
- There's only one Console, the PlayStation, and Gran Turismo is His Game.
- Thou shalt not preach war with the Forzites.
- Thou shalt not be in thine 12th year of living and useth thine microphone.
- Remember the Race day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Race of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who works at the taco stand in the Nurburgring. For in six days the Lord made the Poyphony Digital and the Gran Turismo, the Nurburgring, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Yamauchi blessed the Race day and hallowed it.
- Thou shall love "The Entertainer" and it shall become thy ringtone.
(Entertainer is the name of the GT Auto song if you didn't know)
- Thou shalt not drive thy X2010 whilst in the presence of other gamers in an online lobby. This is among the most unforgivable of sins, and is punishable by an instant damnation to the gloomy depths of the "You have been kicked" screen.
- Thou shall not dispraise the holy GT-R.
- Neither shalt thou duplicate cars of 1,000,000 credits and over.
- Thou shalt covet thine neighbors awesome internet connection.
- Thou shall buyeth and useth a proper wheel from the book of Logitech: chapter G:27.
- Thou shall train thy children in the way of Turismo.
- On the 4th day, Kaz Almighty created the sun. He forgot to let the sun set on some locations.
- Thou shall take proper breaks so as to not developed carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Thou shalt raise your B-spec Bob children slaves to lead obedient and rigorous grinding lives.
- On the second day He craned His neck to notice thine rims were standard and did sweep forth and with his power make them changeable.
-The Nurburgring Nordschleife is the most holy of all holies in the world of Gran Turismo. Thou shalt keep it sacred and drive it at least once a day.

Here is your advice:
The Nurburgring Nordscleife is the most holy of all holies in the world of Gran Turismo. Thou shalt keep it sacred and drive it at least once a day.

Give him the link to the GT holy grale.

Add thaSTIGroe and I can help when I can.
As mention above, start with the special events for free cars to start with. They'll pretty much have you covered.

 

[SupraTurboNinja]

Will do. Thanks for the advice

You all know there's no better place for learning than the WRS, do you?

Or the GT holy hand grenade of Antioch.

Good old Python

If you need anything specific just say but to cover everything is a lot of typing

I started with a Civic Type R and did as many special events and seasonals as my level would allow. Do all the licences as has been mentioned and keep building on your skills.

 

[bluexterra]

- Work on your licenses to hone your driving skills and to increase your Level which allows you to buy better cars
- For the A-Spec & B-Spec races you need to look at what the drive train requirements are for the early races FF, FR, MR etc. so you can plan which cars you need. Some races have a particular maker/model of car you have to use.

- Keep looking in your used car dealership for cars that have good HP (completely recycles every 5 races/events)
- You need to change the oil right away for any new and esp. used cars to increase HP
- Upgrade power (HP) and handling of your cars which in turn improves your chances of winning
- Once you have some good cars that are tuned well and you have some experience, you can go to the online seasonal races and win lots of extra cash, vehicles, helmets and suits and experience points which is what you need to advance in the game.

Some of my favorite cars:
Lexus IS F racing concept (New Car Dealership)
Ferrari Enzo
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 '09

You just spoke for everyone who ever played GT5 my friend.

I'm trying my best and lap after lap my times improve. But I still over do it. Lol. Brake either too soon or too late.

do you have the driving line on? thats a great way to learn when to break.

 

[SupraTurboNinja]

Yea, its on. I just over do it. I spin out or hit the wall.

Just break right when the line turns red, and let off the break when it goes back to blue... just follow it and you should be good.

 

[SupraTurboNinja]

OK. Will do.
