Nissan Calsonic Flashing lights...

[shortysafar]

Hi, I noticed that if you press R1 to Nissan Calsonic IMPUL GT-R 08, front lights flashing! Is more of such cars? It's funny ....

It does it for all of the Premium GT500 cars.

The Peugeot 908 does it when you're racing in the night.

Yep, tried it with the Lexus SC430 GT500. Does this happen with any LMP cars apart from the 908?

Most of the Premium LMP and GT race cars do that. In the real world they flash like that to tell lapped traffic to GTFO so they can pass, while the driver only has to hit the button once.

i think also the premium GT300 cars do it as well

its to notify the driver in front of you that you're coming in for the pass :]

Yeah, but that's pretty useless because you can't seed flashing lights in rear-view mirrors

that's a bummer...

 

[trk29]

I hate to say it but that is a major fail!

 

[fissionproject]

But their lights do light up your surroundings... when it's dark outside.

Quite considerably too, so it shouldn't be too hard to miss,
In fact given the choice of surroundings or mirrors, I'd choose surroundings, you wont always look behind you at the point someone flashes, but your almost certainly going to be looking ahead when the area around you starts to flash brighter and darker, much easier to notice IMO.

Yes, GT300 cars also flash thier lights. GT500s have white lights, while GT300s have yellow lights.
It is an inconvenient for night racing, since you don't have high beams.
