Couldn't make it last night, I was doing the 4 hour roadster endurance race. For my troubles I won one of these

It's a nightmare to do nearly 200 laps of tsukuba in one sitting but you HAVE to drive this car!

Thats beautiful! I honestly dont think ill be making it past lvl 21.. i just keep on getting money from previous races to buy all the lovely classics :) so i doubt ill be getting to the endurance stage myself.
 
I'm up for this. My classics are the things I enjoy driving most. I need to pick up an Elan, and already have a Giulia, Spider, Countach (which I much prefer to the Gallardo) and an E-Type (which I love. VERY slow in, and easy on the power!). I can't wait to pick up a Giulia TZ2.

I really like driving the classics at Monaco, and Le Mans (no chicanes) is kind of fun too (to let them stretch their legs).

My PSN is GrandTheftAutumn.

I haven't yet decided mate im still collecting :p, Ill probably end up just using whatever really just depends if your doing one make events mate

I would really love a classic racing car race though like in the GT mode so I could use my P4 or that gorgeous looking Alfa
 
Yeah, I can see all kinds of classic races working well. Classic lightweights, heavyweights, race cars, opens. Could do some races on comfort tyres for a bit of classic limit of grip racing too - scary on some of the higher speed flowing stuff.
 
Hey IBOWMANI I added you, if I want to join the lobby do I have to go through the whole list or is there an easier way?

Hi mate, no you dont have to go through the whole list. At the main GT LIFE screen... click 'COMMUNITY' and then go to my name 'IBOWMANI' and then you should see a little 'YELLOW CIRCLE' above the Tea Cup... when you highlight over it.. it should say 'Playing'... simply click that.. and thats it. Your in the lobby!

Obviously if the lobby is full you wont be able to join but I try to keep the lobby available for GTP Members as much as i can!

No mate just come and go whenever you like... starting the lobby tonight when i get in from work at 5:00 (roughly) i always set host settings to change user if i have to leave for any reason so the lobby will stay live as long as one person is in there. But yeh 5:00 it will be live!

Oh yeh.. how was it? i love the F1 2010! what a game! Visuals are quality!

Was it like a full weekend race? Qualy n race? How many laps n which track?
 
Well it was the last race of the season at abu dahbi so not many drivers turned up as the winner was already sealed.
I ended up 2nd in the league so it wasnt bad for me!

40% distance with 15 mins quali session.

P.S just bought an elan and samba bus, both are now fully tuned and ready to go.
The samba bus is mental. Nearly 200 BHP!! :)
