Yeah... I've shared my GT350 (without the supercharger), take it for a spin and then tell me about swapping for a FWD for this series.

Turns out i missed one of the driving aids on my first laps. Don't worry, i am in no danger of winning this one.

Car is actually faster WITHOUT the turbo. My brain exploded.

I'll try to get an MX5 tonite or tomorrow and see what i can throw together.

Thinking now i should have went FWD for the SBC.

Nice oneand what, rethinking it now? hehe nonsense!!

Ther MX5 will be easier to tune since it isn't that much so you should be able to throw that together for tomorrow....make sure you pick some juicy Skittles colors as well

Someone should TOTALLY gift me an MX5. I'm having a hell of a time winning enough money to stay afloat in this game, and i hate doing the same series twice.

I have $45k, and need a muscle car, a classic supercar, and an Italian car to finish my Amateur races. And my MX5.

I shared all my drivers, everyone do remote races!

That's plenty!! Well focus on the MX5 first, then it's out of the way

I did a race with your guys so you should be getting some

Told you it wouldn't be so easy once you got to higher levels hahaha just kiddin

Yeah, i did cart racing, nascar, and amg SL300 on the ring each once. Guess i could go back and do them intermediate.

Think i got gold on the carts, silver on the nascar and AMG stuff. I hated the Nascar one, probably will avoid that as much as i can.

Yeah but remember once you get gold on the events, you can't go back and win more money, it's a one and done kind of deal

Seasonal events are online

Not on those, sure.... but i've done a couple of the amateur races twice now, and gotten paid both times.

The seasonal events are in the string of vertical icons above your car delivery.

They only pay once per cycle, but you win the money of every person you beat. If you win the race, you get everybody's payout, so it's several hundred thousand bucks per win.

I meant the Special Events ha everything else yeah you can do over and over again, hell I think I did the American Championship Indy race 300 times lol

Yeah the NASCAR one is so nerve racking but can be easily done and the AMG to get gold takes concentration out the arse but everything else is pretty, easy so to say

Oh, those... there's one right now where you drive a Nissan something or other, right? I'm terrible at that.

Ok... they're actually pissing me off. I just spent an hour whittling seconds off my time at Autumn ring, and "My Online Record" still sits at blank. I'm signed in, i can't figure out any reason why it shouldn't be showing up.

Yeah, screw those drift and time trial competitions, they must sit there for hours doing just that and they ALL have wheels in the top spots.

Just do those FWD, AWD, and RWD challenges, won't take long, and you get some tasty amounts of money and exp. points

I just did all the FWD challenges, had to do the cart track one twice. Got paid twice, too.

Anyways, i have a Spec MX5 now. I'm slow, only had time for two shakedown laps, i'll try to get time to tweak it a little better tomorrow. Best of those two laps was only a 1:47.xx, but i know i left at least 3 seconds out there. Could probably use some gearing work, too.

[edit] Dammit... no ABS, huh? Guess i've got more work to do, that seems a little counter-intuitive considering these cars came with ABS stock and we can't "upgrade" the brakes in this game.

Saweet! Yeah they provide nice money and new ones will pop up soon, they are easy money.

Yeah it's all down to spoiler setting, suspension and drivetrain setup. You'll get it dialed in

ABS is for sissies! Yeah it does suck we can't upgrade the brakes or adjust tire pressures though.

You'll need to log in to post.
