I got the Aston Martin and I have enough for the BMW. I'm gonna save a bit for the new Toyota VGT and I also plan on getting the Tank Car.
 
Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2, Lamborghini Miura P400, and the Ferrari 250 GTO.
 
20m cars ha ha ha I have never had more than 4.5m ever. The Redbull event I always fail miserably at so I am left redoing championships in Ia or earlier and they don't pay much so dream cars are exactly that a dream.
Where is this Senna thing I have seen mentioned by the way? I think my game is different to everyone elses as half the stuff mentioned on here I can't find in my game. I was looking at the online racing but can't find how to get online to look at the racing there. I am not the best technical but I really do think my game is missing something.
 
My son has just read my last post over my shoulder and laughed he said I need to update the game. I haven't had my ps3 on the internet for 4 years I thought but my son said he updated my game about 6 months ago. Then turned off the internet option as I would only get confused with anything online!!!!!!! The cheeky git. (true though ha ha)
 
So, I've started saving my credits again. Last time I saved a bit for the Alfa Giuila TZ2 '65. Now I'm gunning for the XJ13 (not the chrome), and I'm well over halfway there. So, which car are you saving for? Or which one did you save for? Looking for non-glitchers, legitimately saving up a lot of credits. And has anyone legitimately bought more than one 20 million dollar vehicle?

I know you've got your XJ13 now - how are you finding it? Good I hope!

I bought all the 20m credit cars by grinding on the Red Bull event - the only one of them which I don't think is worth the credits is the Ford GT40 Race Car - it is a standard and therefore does not have a detailed interior. It laps a lot slower than the 4 1960's Le Mans prototypes in the game (Jag XJ13, Ferrari 330 P4, Ford MK4 and Chaparral 2D).

I'm still saving for the Alfa Romeo with the long name which is 10m - unfortunately the Red Bull event steering wheel FFB was damaged by the 1.09 update and the only race I can now win consistently in the absence of proper FFB is the Trial Mountain event.

The Ferrari 250 GTO is nice and I'm currently running a race series for that car (and other cheaper alternatives) against the Cobra, then in September a series for the 4 Le Mans prototypes plus cheaper alternatives - these cars don't get enough use in the game and it's nice to give them a run.
 
Since I have no online I'l have to save money for future VGTs.

As you have no online in the game do you have this Senna thing people are on about?
I am trying work out if it is an online thing or not as I can't find it in my game anywhere.
 
Hey Just. On the GT main menu, top left, what version do you have? After the word Gran Turismo 6 it should state the version (1.11) currently. Sounds like you need another update or 4. Think Senna was added in 1.08. Quite a bit has been added since your boy last updated by the looks of it.

Senna content is on the special event section where Goodwood and lunar missions are. If you don't see Ayrtons freckly face, you ain't got him.

Get your lad to take you through reconnecting PS3 to t'internet, you might have a lot of stuff to update/download. Cars, track etc. could take a while.

VGT cars (you'll have to buy most now) red bull track. Once you get these updates, you'll be able to make that money for exotics. Well from seasonals, if you don't like grinding RB championship.

Try to stay connected, seasonals, that's where the dollars are.

The Senna Tribute came in an update in May (version 1.08), so if you haven't updated in 6 months then you haven't got it.

You'll have quite a few updates to catch up on, and quite a lot of new things to do afterwards, including learning a new track or two! :)

Hi and thanks the version I have is Gran Turismo6 Ver. 1.06 I have Goodwood and that Lunar thing but no Senna.
I can't understand that Lunar race it makes no sense so scrapped it but the Goodwood one is good apart from the last race with the red bull but that is silver now so it is all complete and all gold apart from the last one.
 
My son just put the ps online and started the download and it said there is not enough space in the system storage At least 1041mb more free space is needed!! I only have a 60mb memory thing so that's buggered that then.
Oh well not to worry Thanks for your help anyway.

Oh dear now I have come out of the game is it saying system update is needed go to system update?????????????
My son has just gone out back to his girlfriends. I think it's best to turn it off and let him sort it tomorrow.
Thanks again.
 
Now you've connected to the internet, the PS3 itself wants to update some bits as well, that's why it's asking for sys update (probably PS Store).

Turn back on, log in by pressing your name (account).

When logged in, go left in the main PS3 menu to the second column from the left. Attaché case picture with 'settings' underneath. Go up one to 'system update' and hit X. Hit X again when asks 'via internet'.

Let it do that. When your son comes back. Ask him about freeing up some space so you can then update GT6 to the current Version 1.11.

You or he may have lots of media taking up memory, or you both may have old games on there you are willing to delete.

You must do this mate. Not like in the old days when we got complete games, bugs an all, most games I find these days are not complete at launch on purpose, and GT6 is the most incomplete of all the GT titles thus far, but it's been paraded (with the help of the vision project) as an evolving organism updating and adding content almost throughout its life, but maybe not the time frame they were hoping. For some folks who've had the game since launch this has been quite a painful experience, waiting for stuff promised about a year ago. If your enjoying the game, I'd say stay connected. Apparently some of the bigger stuff is imminent. Missing out on some good stuff already. Think it will take a while mind. Get the young-star onto it.

Back on topic.

322 cars in garage. Currently.
Saving to throw tunes on all before buying more.
They get tuned, named, faved and/or stockpiled.
Then the 1-2m range cars.

I'm not even saving my credits. I really just have no idea what to buy.

I've already owned all the race cars (including all NASCARs and LMPs) and multi-million dollar classics.

I did have the ps3 online today and updated GT6 but each time I did the update it started then stopped and said error something or other or it said update failed. I have loads of room now as you were correct in there was loads of old game data on the ps3 Fifa09 Ferrari Challenge and Beijing Olympics to name a few. The system updates worked fine. I have managed to get the Senna one but nothing else looks any different and I can't see any new stuff apart from the Senna one. I have fibre optic broadband which is quick so I thought the updates would work.
The last one version 1.11 would not work after 3 attempts so ended up cancelling it and turning the internet option off again as I can't play the game with it on as it keeps trying to do the update which takes ages then only fails.
Pain in the rear it is. I am going to stay as it is now if there are more updates to the game they can keep them it drives me mad waiting 20-30 mins then it fails everytime. I really struggle with the s-class' haven't done any of them yet after quite a few attempts and I do mean I finish last or am so far behind I quit so may be the added races will be beyond me anyhow. Redbull challenge for instance can't do anything past the karting the cars are just to damn fast to even contemplate braking turning etc. Most of it is locked looks like it will be styaing that way :lol:

Thanks for your help appreciated :cheers:

Just curious to know whether you're using a wheel or controller?
 
the Alfa Romeo with the long name which is 10m is what I'm saving for now
Two 20 mil Ferraris and the 15mil Lamborghini I have
Would like the jag too
 
I'm saving my credits for a lot of cars, but the one I want most is the Mazda 787B.
 
Saving my cash for the unreleased Nismo GTR (R35). Gotta make sure I have the cash when that baby is released, going to buy one in every color.

A controller tried the wheel was not much different in times after I got used to it but I just prefer the controller.
The wheel is gathering dust in the shed I keep meaning to give it someone who will use it then I forget about it and it gathers more dust. Was top of the range thing to when I bought it.
 
Ferrari 250 GT. Unless I get impulsive and buy something equally cool and old. Probably a MK I. GT40 then.

Man, they don't build racecars like they used to, that's for sure.
 
In 1985?

; )

:lol: I left school in 1980 Yes I am an old git:lol:
It is a Thrustmaster T5 something I had it not that long ago from a friend who had it for a present but never used it once as he doesn't play driving games he is a cod man through and through, It is cool and very easy to set up and use, I only used it for a few days very easy to get used to I just prefer the controller in my hand so it got less and less use then as with every thing like that it finds it's way to the shed then charity shop when the wife decides to have a spring clean of the shed. I asked my mate if he wants it back and he wasn't bothered so it might go on ebay if I ever get around to doing it.
 
I didn't want to start a new thread so this seems a good place to ask as I "have to save up my $$ " for.

Anyone have the Monster Sport SX4 ? For all around career races in the 650-700 PP range? Is it worth it and useable ?

Like my Audi S1 quatro Rally Car 86 was pricey but EATS bug, asphalt, slower exotic cars and occasional bystander era for breakfast.... Love it..

Saving for fun cars to use for the events I have yet to finish.
 
It's funny how I only have 3,950 credits now and even when I used the money glitch twice, I still only have sixty cars.

Can't believe you people have that much patience to earn credits.
 
I've earned 430,000,000 credits over the course of 8.5 months. I did not use the credit glitch, and I rarely grind. Very little patience required.

Lol that's eight and a half months. Of course if you played the game everyday, you'd get gains like that.

No, I usually only play a couple hours per week when the new seasonals are released.
