GAHH! My GT5 game got corrupted! 90.3% through the game and its gone....I can't save over the corrupted file, so I have to get a new memory card too. Phuq!

sad. i'll pick comparatively cheap cars the next few weeks so that you can jump in even from a fresh start.

Wow, starting from the beginning sucks. I don't have the cash to make a car quick enough to get cash. I raced for 6 hours yesterday and I'm still dirt poor.

it takes skill, what can i say? :D the drafting/passing one was tough, as was the Toyota 2000 at NYC, and 34 nearly killed me...

try going for all gold on the licenses, too. i'm all gold through the Super License, i believe. getting gold on the final iA exam (i think: R92CP at le mans?) was quite the tough one to nail down.

to clarify, i don't have all gold in all the super license, just all gold up until the supers (as in i won the Dome Zero :D). i'm about 50/50 gold in the supers, and lack the necessary motivation to get the model T.

i have today and tomorrow off, so should be able to rack up a time shortly...

1'25.980

it has been brought. making the NSX less of a rear-heavy, understeering pig is the key, along with not slowing down quite as much for the corners ;)

damn you Toshi...I will not lose a challenge when there's a Honda involved :D...it's on now :rant:
now there's an idea: i think the next challenge will involve a subaru, set up in more or less SCCA STX trim. maybe a course in the wet for even more fun...

are you wallriding the karussel? you should be. other than that there really are no tricks: you just need a really clean, really fast lap with no off track excursions. nailing the uphill, blind right hander right after the first time checkpoint is also key: you can get it flat out if you do the right thing and the car doesn't bounce in an unfortunate manner.

hey Toshi...I just hit race day 2001 and all the black cars were in the used section. I tried to buy them all but before I could get the last one it was updated and it was gone. I'm stoked because I missed them the first time...but I thought it was only a one shot deal?

The 787B is sick in all black :)

1. thanks dood, no problem.

2. well hell, i'm not that far into it. its been about 2-3 years since i've really played the game, so i'm gonna have to figure out what "fame day 337" is, :banana:
