Well?? Mine was crashin last second
And losing in a big race
 
Spinning on the last lap of the German car series thing. Spent about 25 minutes for nothing.
 
Fully tuning the premium Fiat 500
 
I really think this should be moved to the 'Gran Turismo 5' threads, and not in the Q&A section.
And jgancherjr, that made me laugh so much! :lol: :lol: :lol:

oh i thought it would go here because its a question about gt5
 
On-line race.. Indianapolis Road..

I set a good quali time for P2, and my team mate snatched pole.. We had several days to work up a tactic to help eachother to a 1-2 finish. We defenetly had the pace..

So spent a good 2 hours a day for 4 days to test different strategies for the race..

Race day:
We got away from the rolling start just fine.. T1-tyre barriers on the inside-BOOM!! Heavy damage ofc and 8-10 hours of preparation went down the drain..
I guess it took me about 7-8 seconds from green flag to disaster..
That really hurt!
 
Using my X2010 for Grand Valley 300KM. Hotlapping myself for an hour and ten minutes wasn't very much fun.
 
Using the Mach 1 mustang in a shuffle race
 
Selling cars that were very valuable to me and not knowing anyway.

Before P.D. fixed the glitch? There isn't a problem with this currently I hope.

This is a bit of a problem - and it's not one that's going to go away. New members join everyday - and it's easy for them to get confused since GTPlanet is growing so fast - from a schoolboy Forum with a Dickensian schoolteacher tone to it, to a Car Forum that seems to be encompassing all ages, personalities, demands, and most probably a position sooner or later on the NYSC.

The present Administrators have laid out a very detailed and easy-to-navigate Q & A Section that has probably every Question one could ask - and therefore receive a lucid question. The Q & A Section, I believe, was for 'Quick Questions'. Examples:

Is the Buick Special available in the UCD?
No.

Is there a Gumpert in GT5?
No.

Where can I find a list of the best racers in GT5?
Here. (provide link)

Is there a thread about changing a flat tire?

🤬

Obviously - any and EVERY question in the Q & A Section should be followed by this - ? Yes. The Question mark, or Query..
Need I add that a question in the Q & A Forum should NEVER lead to a discussion? There should really be no more than half-dozen posts in a Quick Question thread.
Move on. Thread dead, unless someone wants an answer to the same question and boots it up - BUT only to read it.

THEN - there is the 'regular' Sub-Forum. A place for questions that lead to huge discussions - because there may be no clear answer to the question or it could be a matter of opinion.
Examples:

Is Forza better than GT?
Blah, blah, blah :sly:👎:nervous::scared::grumpy: (discussion)

What is your favourite/most-used/go-to/everyday-driver car?
This, that, and the other. (discussion)

Do you prefer the DS3 in bed over the G27 in a cockpit?
Big discussion about Lucas. (Very big discussion about Tresson stalling car when getting out of pits)

Post your best 'Ring time!
Post it.

What marque do you buy the most of?
Say it. And why if you want.


Aaaaand there are OTHER sub-Forums:

Post pictures of GF playing GT5.
Very big discussion in Photomode Section.

How I beat the 'Ring.
Race report and discussion

My B-Spec Bob won't listen!!
Whining and general discussion on whipping Bob's ass, in B-Spec Forum.


And so on. That's how I see it, anyway.

Any questions? Check the Q & A - a.k.a: Frequently Asked Questions.. You'll probably find the answer there before adding to the clutter with yet another mirror thread.

Cheers
Harry.

Yes, this happened a year ago this month. As for the backup system they implemented(did they?) I have no idea how that even works as I backup my game after every session now with the usb.

I must say though that going from 0 to level 40 A-spec now is a breeze compared to the early days before the system crash and the ensuing triple payouts on return to online racing. It took me 6-7 months to get to level 40 the first time and only 22 days for the next level 40 finish line.
 
My biggest mistake in GT5?

Buying Lexus LFA`s, Ferrari`s, Lamborghini`s, Mercedes-Benz`s and so on in every available coulor to get the paint chips. :lol: What a waste of money, ähm, credits...
 
My biggest mistake? Buying my first car in GT5.
 
My biggest mistake: buying GT5 ( I spend to much time on it :D )
 
Maybe passing on a couple cars in the used then having PD implement the trade restriction and not seeing that car again. :ouch:

Tokyo GTR proto for example, Still don't have it.
 
My biggest mistake was to ever put a turbo on an NSX. Let me explain:

I was racing in my first online league (WSGTC season 3) in the ARTA NSX and for the very first race I decided to go balls out on power and minimum downforce (PP limit allowed that to work) and to take full advantage of the available power I put a turbo on it. Now, I've always favoured NA tuning to turbos and the NSX has never been a turbo car, but since the car felt decent, I decided to keep it (if it isn't broken, don't fix it, I said).

Only later on the season I finally tried NA tuning instead (Stage 3 engine) and it was so much better to drive and also had more power. On that moment I really felt like a dumbass having raced half the races of the season with a turbo and having put a turbo on an NSX in the first place, especially as I've never been big on turbos.
 
Biggest mistake for me? Saving up 10 million credits just to buy one car (The long named Alfa Romeo) then I won it in B-Spec 20 minutes later. :grumpy:
 
playing gt5 from the beginning with the minimal credits and points....a friend buyed it after the seasonals came out made level 40 10x faster than me....

That's not a mistake. You were the one that got to enjoy the little things.

You and me, both, buddy. You and me both...:ouch:
 
Abusing the "Gift" feature with 5 parallel accounts on the console prior to Limit Cap.

I earned ridiculous amount of money backthan thanx to Seasonals and bought/Gifted almost all of the interesting cars for my main account together with insane level of "gifting" commenced with my friends.

We pretty much ruined the game for ourselves forever. I have nothing to spend our money on today, there is no *special* car I am saving funds to buy, none of the cars in both UCD/OCD are of any interest and everything comes to buying unnecessary duplicates of Miura just for sake of spending money on something.

I wish how Limit Cap was introduced since the first day because today I would have so much to do, so much to expect to appear in both UCD/OCD and so much to spend the money on.

Of course there are just few cars I miss, but those are redundant vehicles. Exploiting a "Gift" feature is a greatest stupidity I've done in GT5 and I am really sorry I couldn't stop myself for taking that route backthan.
 
Not buying the 2J when it was in the OCD.
