Hopefully that will help you out a little with your Special Events troubles.
Thanks for your time and answers but that's Cheating I don't do cheats in any game never have never will. I can't see the point in cheating you have not won if you cheat so what's the point? I would rather fail trying the right way than cheat and daydream I did it.
Glad to see you're finally having fun with the game Justin. Relax, have fun, play for an hour or two, then move on to something else to do outside of the game. You know, some people think I take this game waaaaaay to seriously, and I probably do. But that's because the game as become me, and I have become the game. I have one ultimate goal with this game/series, and that to make it to the Academy and I will do whatever it takes, within the rules of course, to achieve that goal. Its funny, but I have sort of a cult following in my town rooting me on to achieve that goal. But that's just the difference between you and I and there is nothing wrong at all with just having fun.
You don't have to get all the trophies, licenses, ect. As long as you're having fun, that's all that counts. Good luck to you and wish you continued success and happiness with the game.
Cheers bud, Yeh I am having fun moving around the game when a race starts to bore me. Been on the b-spec for a bit wow that's hardwork watching your driver stay behind ai cars when I am pounding the overtake button go man go all fun though.
You want to get in to the academy good luck with that. What's the academy? And well done to your local town for getting behind you.
I don't know if you're still struggling with the NASCAR event, but here are my two cents:
The NASCAR event in GT5 is just like cross country skiing: There's no point in going up in the lead unless you have a good chance to get a gap and to keep that gap until the end of the race. All you will end up doing is acting as a rabbit for the rest of the pack to hunt down (and sometimes even kill).
It's better to lay low for a while, watch how the race is developing and then when there's a good opportunity to make a move you go for it. If you don't get a good opportunity, just lay low until the final lap and try to have a good position within the pack, then right before the last corner you use the slipstream to get up in the lead to cross the finish line as the winner.
Hi thanks for taking the time out to assist me, I have tried this nascar one so so many times staying low staying high holding back I just don't think I am good enough to do it if I am honest. I tried the holding back was in forth if memory serves me right overtook on the last bend and got smashed off by an ai which nudged me in the rear I had two ai cars behind me one to my left one to my right so I tried to block the quicker car , I thought at the time that nudge would not normally knock me off track but it did, Oh well some races I had to quit and give a miss and the nascar race is one of those races. Not been on this race since that grand failure, doubt I will go on it again as my outlook on gt5 now is have fun and enjoy it. Nascar isn't fun to me so best I avoid it. Thanks again bud.
