Helmet bug?

[bobd]

I dont understand why EVERYONE wants to have that suit anyway...dont they want to be different,instead of having this boring cliche choice.

Deep down inside, I think we all know we can never be as COOL as The Stig. Nope not Ben Collins or Perry McCarthy, but the guy in the Simpson and Alpinestars gears. I blame it on Jeremy Clarkson's marketing...

Which is why we idolize him. And the race is on for the first Photomode picture of The Stig to be posted on these forums

Only afterwards we can be bored of it...

Hopefully PD can buy top gear back. Actually, that's like an ant trying to wrestle a banana from a gorilla named Microsoft..

So PD just need to bite Microsoft to make them drop Top Gear?

Cool story bro. Nice try ! If only public perception were that easy to satisfy...

I've a gut feeling either PD's not putting anymore cash into TopGear licensing, or TG has already given exclusivity to other buyers.

How to confirm ? Just see whether TG branding will reappear in future PD DLCs. But hey, on the bright side PD now is in bed with NASCAR !

Back on topic :
I wonder if combining certain colored Simpson helmets (Untamed, Skully, Desert Camo) and Alpinestars suit (Graffiti, Woodland, Flame) will make it become fully White or Black Stig's ? Based on what is written on the GT5 DLC page... I ain't paying for it if I can get it for free

The NASCAR point seems valid, they do seem to be putting a lot of effort in to it. Which is all good, made some people get in to NASCAR i'd imagine too.

Top Gear gave the licensing to PD for them to implement the Top Gear test track into Gran Turismo 5. Then as soon as the game was released, the license was withdrawn and given to Turn 10 so they could put it in FM4. However, FM4 went over the top and use Clarkson and the reasonably priced car way way to much, to the point where they are making a top gear game appeal to racing fans, not a racing game appeal to top gear fans. It is stupid but Top Gear have no right over how AplineStarts and Simpson implement their brands in videogames. The end result is that we can recreate the Stig and Top Gear is getting no mention from the Stig being in the game. GT5 becoems more popular thanks to Stig outfit. Top Gear gains no mention. Serves the, right for withdrawing the license just after release purely to put it in another game.

To be fair, although we have the Stig now, there's going to be thousands of him the suit isn't going to be that special now.

Let Forza have Top Gear, we get NASCAR, Mr Gordon, Mr Vettel and Mr Loeb

NASCAR sucks though

"He's taking another left turn!"

Sometimes they go right...... hit the wall then flip!!

Agreeed. But then again I've always dreamed of NASCAR Drift sessions... no idea why




I'm still waiting for someone to update when they win the closest looking outfit to the Stig's, via the Seasonals.

I want the Gamestop NASCAR, get them all but that one, not avaliable here though

i would change this post's title now to anything related to Top Gear/license/stig/gt5 , it would attract more people 👍

I don't think that it's a bug that we're getting these helmets. Maybe the DLC gear pack is just a way of getting those items without having to do seasonal races. Or the DLC gear comes in exclusive colors because I got a blue/yellow Safari helmet that's not listed on the pack. I think Kaz's helmet, WRC, NASCAR and Stig suits are the only that are DLC exclusive.

If I read correctly the DLC give out only 5 colors of the new Simpsons, Alpinestars and Safari range, there are up to 34 variations each. The NASCAR, WRC, Stig's and GT Helmet are probably as what you've said though.

I didn't know they had all those variations. So most of the suits in the pack can be won just by doing the seasonals? Nice.
