Don't you hate GT3 when...

I know that in JGTC 300 class that all the cars have to be FR, in 500 I think all the cars are FR and MR(NSX), it appears that in GT3 the JGTC cars are FR and MR, I'm sure when Rice Rocketeer comes back he can provide better info than I have.
 
i don't know! it's the one used in the license test. the track is complex string II, the section is the radius corners where they get smaller and smaller and the rear end is getting all kitty-wompus on the corners.. and then you spin out on the last corner, for the 1,294,785th time!
 
don't you hate GT3 when...

- you brake late into the corner and the comp cars slam into you.

- the comp cars brake late, you slam into them, and they hold their line thru the corner at an impossible rate of speed.

- parts (like tyres) cost more for some cars than for others.

- you see that Clubman Stage Route 5 isn't on it. Who doesn't agree that that course is awesome!

- the yellow flash that was on all of the clubman/ss stages on GT1 was removed.

- your car is pointing in the perfect direction for the corner, but it was sliding and TCS and ASM take over and point you towards the wall.
 
Is it true that you can't win a race twice and get the same car? Coz I want to win the Shigeru Sprinter Trueno again since I sold it earlier on (needed the money). This wasn't a problem with GT2 so why did the programmers add this restraint?

This is unfortunately true for the series where you complete the races only.

If you can one car picked randomly from four (ie. championships in Professional league and the enduros) then you can continue to run them and win cars.

Only thing I can suggest is starting another game from scratch, winning it, and then doing a transfer between the games.
 
Were you cheering that the game understeers too much or agreeing with my view of getting a car to oversteer as being miraculous?

There is a lot of understeer in the game - but when you think about it, the vast majority of road cars (which makes up the bulk of GT3's cars) understeer, so that's probably fair.

There's always the Elise Motor Sport...

I won it on one of the Enduros - Seattle I think - and it's still a POS.
 
Ealier, there was a post about whether you can win the same car after repeating a series? Can you win the same car, or can you just go through a series 4 times and win the 4 different cars? Thanks.

Off topic: I went from 65.7% to 80.1% in 5 hours last night. :)

Dude you're possessed. I haven't seen anyone do that much that fast ...

As for winning repeat cars ... the only place you can win the same car again are the Challenges and Enduros that have more than one car as a prize. It randomly picks from the group, and every car in the group is available every time you win the Challenge or Enduro. Everything else is a one time deal. That means there are a few cars you can only get one of, so don't sell it! (:

Sounds like a case of F1 + Escudo + Arcade Mode = Rapid Progress if you ask me! :)

Almost :) I beat all of the Rally League and finished up the last two sections of arcade. Most of the arcade was with an F1 car, but on the Rally League, I was using the Evo VII Prototype. It was a perfect car. I never won by more than 1.5 sec, but I never felt like I was going to lose with it. I don't even remember where I got it, but I don't think I upgraded it all. I won like 7 cars or something that night. I GT3 night that will go down in the books for me.

Finally got the super license last night too. Man that GT40 test is a you-know-what. I must have hit the wall on the first chicane about 40 times. :) I didn't think the rest of them were that bad. The demos did help a lot.

Oh I know where you're coming from on that! :mad: I've got up to S-6, but I haven't managed to string together a decent lap yet - got down to 1:24.4, but there's a LOT more time to come. Teaching myself MT at the moment, which is coming along nicely. I'm probably about to take the decision to race with it, rather than just using it in the license tests.

Ahhhhh...... MT. You are a braver man than I. :)
 
Yeah, but you can control your corner entry much better with MT, especially at Seattle, where you can really upset the tail of the GT40 and quell its lemming-like tendency to understeer.

lemming-like??? you mean the car wants to drive off a cliff?

yeah, slamming the car down two gears at 100+ mph in top gear will get it a little kitty-wompus, but in reality you'd blow the trans or shoot a rod out thru the oil pan.

Well it would be straight off that ole cliff if it meant avoiding a turn!

True, but you have to do what's required to get the times! And 2 gears @ 100 in top in a GT40 would put you in 3rd, which would be right! ;)
