Scottster_ 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 A-spec 33 B=spec 38 Unlike you, I am addicted to GT5. I'm only at 33 because alot of my time is spent in an online lobby competing in Time Trials hosted by our little team. Each week we select a track and car and see who can turn in the fastest lap at the end of the week. We also help each other out, so its not really cut throat but still pretty competitive. Most of us are over 30 and have a great time. We generally end the night on INDY racing GT500 cars or RM Vettes. If you, or anyone else is looking for a group to race with send me an invite, or a PM here and I will give you a link to our site. We are also getting ready to start a monthly points series. We are always looking for racers who enjoy GT5. Unfortunately Open Lobby is not always the easiest place to find good races, but we have a great time every night in our lounges, we would just like to get more racers to join us. Here's a couple videos of some "THR" action Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our Time Trial event this week is at Autumn Mini, using the Karts. Top Dog so far is 39.941, with the rest of the top 5 in the 40.xxs We welcome all skill levels whom have the right attitude.

left888 18 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 How the heck did you finish all those enduros in A Spec ? The good old pause button and a little help from my Son. We took 2 hour shifts until bed time, put the game on pause then continued the next day. PD is working on a save button for the endurance races and speculation is it could be out in the next update.

left888 18 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 A-spec 33 B=spec 38 Unlike you, I am addicted to GT5. I am pretty much addicted as my stats show We are also getting ready to start a monthly points series. We are always looking for racers who enjoy GT5. Unfortunately Open Lobby is not always the easiest place to find good races, but we have a great time every night in our lounges, we would just like to get more racers to join us. I agree, GT5's strength is online play and unfortunately it's also one of it's weaknesses. If you find a good room it's a blast. Searching for a good room can be tedious at best. Luckily I too have a good core group of friends, we race 3 or 4 times a week. We are very competitive with each other but we adhere to clean racing. I will send you a PM and maybe we can get a few races in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoparMike 3 Report post Posted March 24, 2011 I have been totally addicted to GT5, currently a level 31 A-Spec and 23 B-spec. My rig is setup in a guest room in my house and I lost it for a month around the holidays and again in February to a house guest but play anytime I get the chance. I do have to push myself to race in B-Spec as it is not rewarding for me except to earn additional money and cars. As far as the endurance races I have completed the first but will wait until the save feature is implemented, leaving your system on all the time sucks. I did gold all the licenses tests over a month ago and that took some dedication and will continue to level up A-Spec to 40. The longevity of the game for me is gonna be in the online play and would like to get into organized racing like the OP was talking about with daily/weekly competitions. Lobbies are very hit or miss for finding quality opponents both in the skill area as well as attitude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
left888 18 Report post Posted March 24, 2011 Lobbies are very hit or miss for finding quality opponents both in the skill area as well as attitude. You hit the nail on the head with that statement. My biggest gripe is playing with the "Ramrods" that have no clue to the rules of racing, being used as a braking device for someone going 180 mph so they don't have to slow down on the corners.

fam 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2011 level 31 ...really just because I wanted the red bullx2010, as far as rules of racing...I really enjoy daytona nascar, but there are a LOT of idiots...and sometimes bad admins...I started mid pack or rear and at the start I had passed the whole field by the 2nd turn as the traffic was just slow and then I immediately got booted with him saying "learn to drive straight"...im like...I drove around the whole pack in 2 turns because they were slow without hitting a single car....ugh...some people. At any rate, after seeing the arcade physics that is nfs shift 2 (saw a youtube video of a fwd car (civic si)coming in hot through a corner and there was no understeer...at all......as far as steering, it was just as if they were on a straight turning left to right.....ugh back to gt5 I go until iracing comes out with a retail 60 dollar single player offline mode.
