Is it possible.....

[TS020]

I just won the allstars in professional and won a gt-one,but I want a R390.Is it possible to drive a series race again to win that car?????

 

[thorgan]

yep, its only the spot races where you can't get it again - which really annoys me. I mean, fine, you can't get it again, but why not make it available to buy? cos after a lightweight mod, you can't race it in some races.

anyway - yes.

Hi, TS020, and welcome to The Planet.

Yes, you can drive a series race as many times as you wish, and you will win a car every time you beat the series. Try a search for "save and reload" for a method of guaranteeing the car you want. You only need to be able to win the series on points; you don't have to run every race in it.

Hope this helps.

^^^^ What he said, but I must also point out that you should not believe any "Press X when the black circle is under your car" methods, they do nothing. The analogy I use for this is as follows: It's kinda like religion, doesn't really do anything but makes you feel better.

^^Ha Ha I like the last sentence.

You sure that doesn't work? Cause I guess it's luck that I get the exact car I want every single time.

That better have been sarcasm so thick you laid it on with a trowel.

Actually if you plug your toaster into your PS2 and put GT3 into your toaster it lets you program what prize cars you want for each series and race yourself, it also unlocks the extra secret Hovis car.

[SARCASM]Yeah, I've even seen a Hovis in the PD cup, and it can take on F1s without challenge![/SARCASM]

Anyways that black circle thing where did you get that from?

 

[heero 12]

Go win a series race, see the black circle that goes around under the cars? it'll stop on the one you win. Some think that pressing X before it starts to slow down will get you the car you want every time, it's been tested and it doesn't work.

 

[g.money]

then, once you have the PS2/Hitachi hybrid link up and running, and have the Hovis car on top and winning, you might - repeat MIGHT - be in with a chance at getting the Milk Truck....

This should be closed or moved to the test forum now.

I'm just pulling their chain, cos I can't believe that people STILL don't use the search facility

It's not a trick, seeing as it doesn't work.

Ahhh, but who is the trickster, and who is the tricked?

 

[g.money]

Famine, it seems you are pulling some kind of Derren Brown mind trick here, as you tell 'em it doesn't work - and still they think it does! Wonderful.

^^Ha Ha I like the last sentence.

I am infinitely happy for you.

Actually I tried it once, because after 15 freakin times of save and reload **** i got kind of annoyed. So I hit it on the car I wanted, didn't work. But I noticed a pattern...it landed two cars away EVERY TIME. So then I tried hitting X on the opposite car(two cars away), and it went past my car and on the next time around, landed spot on my shiny new F688. So there ya go, Famine, your perfect record is dimished.

Based on a single test? I think not.

I ran my own test some while back. I recorded the ratios of the four cars from 100 occurences of not doing anything. I then recorded the ratios of the same four cars from 100 occurrences of pressing the X button. None of them changed with any statistical significance (5% or more) - not even the car two cars away from my target car.

What's more, I'm not the only member to have done this. Der Alta (or possibly neon_duke, but probably Der Alta) did a similar test, with similar results

When you've run it through 200 times, let me know.
