hahaha, yeah. when i bought the gtr for that event i was like.....this is too close, im not touching the oil. live and learn. the gtr is still an awesome car to own tho, im sure you'll get good use out of it. i havent touched it since i used it for the event, but i plan on fully modding it out and having some fun w/ it soon enough.

gotta get my bankroll back up first tho, i bankrupted myself buying the toyota 7 race car. but its got me thru gt all stars and like the wind so far.

yes and no. there are still some cars out there that can put a hurt on it, and plus since its so light, any time you get bumped or nudged, its pretty much instant spin. haha. and initially i tried keeping TC off on that thing, but finally gave in. 943hp + 600kg weight = tires spinning thru 3rd gear all the time.

It is a good car to have in your stable tho. the one that car can do well is draft. good lord get into someones wake and its like firing a rocket booster out the back

Have you fully modded the Veyron yet? Talk about a rocket...

god damn. just did the nascar challenge from the new bonus set. 2 laps of the ring. cripes.

for anyone thinking of attempting this, heres some tips.
- max out front and rear downforce. this is essential.
-lower the final drive a few clicks. you'll only be hitting a bit over 200 on the main straight w/ the downforce maxed.

-tcs 1
-abs 1
-skid recovery on
-steering assist mild

skid recovery and steering assist could be seen as "cheating", but who can argue semantics over a 1 million credit / 100k exp payoff. And make no mistake, you still have to drive the hell out of the car flawlessly for about a full lap and a half or more until you overtake first place.

i think ive heard of people doing it w/ the spirit R, but i havent seen one pop up in awhile. ive been trying it w/ the premium model from the dealer, cuz i already owned it, and best ive been able to do w/ that is 2nd place.......19 seconds behind first.


tried the mustang challenge out too. 2nd place also, but 1st is definitely in grasp on that one w/ a little more practice.

:fu: im at a crossroads right now, cuz im about 800k away from buying the FGT, which is good for that one series, or im about 300k away from buying the toyota 7, which just popped into the used lot the last time i played. which would be good for more than a few series i still have left to do

I just earned mine from B-spec (took the holiday off). Now i am saving for an R10:fy:

from the bonus races #1? if you got the spec V get all the extra goodies (suspension and drivetrain) and drive the piss out of it. Its fairly easy after a few times. You wont catch the Ford GT until around the last lap

Yeah that one. Got the '09 spec V. Did everything possible to it minus power adders (just race filter to put it at 492) and I did the adjustable sport suspension instead of the fully adjustable. Figured that wasn't necessary since it's only allowed to use sport soft tires.

I don't really like how the car handles (pushes/understeers real bad) so maybe I'm just not used to it after doing a bunch of MR races. All assists were turned off except 1 ABS.

doesn't sound like it's easy
from what I found online:

You unlock a challenge to win the X1 on level 30. (doesn;t matter A spec or B spec)
You get one as a gift for achieving B-spec level 35.
And you can buy one at level 40 for 20.000.000 credits

I'm at 26 a spec, so i'll see what the challenge is once I get to 30, no way do I plan to get to level 35 in b spec. And i don't think i'll ever have 20 mil to spend
