Yes, the Fiat 500, upgrade the car a little (sport filter, sport clutch / flywheel, 5 sp close ratio box, carbon bonnet, suspension), and its much easier

Am I getting the wrong Fiat 500?

It's 68BHP when you buy it new, to race it has to be 65BHP.

It won't let me in.

The one I brought new was about 63bhp (1.2 8v lounge something or t'other)

don't change the oil when you get it.

That's the one I got, put spoilers and crap on and I changed the oil. maybe the oil has stuffed me up.

Yeah, as above, don't change oil, you'll have to sell it now and get another one, either that or drive the living bejesus out of it till its hp drops.

Noone organised an LFS race yet? :P

Quote from Inouva :

Wow, actualy the Ai was improved, the yellow Ruf was chasing you all over the track for drafting..

Realy cool!

They always did that. Most noticeable on the Fuji track.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

The AI is actually not as atrocious as people seem. They do yield to blue flags actually quite decently, and they are a lot better for passing. Not fantastic, but not as braindead as before.

I'm not used to them doing that yet. When they pull off the race line, it's always where I want to be, because I'm going around them as I'm used to, and I end up runing into the back of them.

When i try to go to the lobby it checks network enviroment, then freezes then says an error has occurred in the lobby server (307) Any ideas?

reboot game

I always get "wrong version" errors, even though I have the latest version.

I've never been able to go online though i can go in seasonal events and the online dealership. I also get logged out of PSN quite alot.

Oh look, v1.05 allows you to select more that one car in Photo travel mode!


... jk, it doesn't. -_-

Has anyone tried those Seasonal Time Trial events? I did the second one, where everyone chose the RX8 on Rome. I'm 5 seconds late, is it my problem, or the people are not running it stock? And the combo is :vomit: Funny how this game can vary so much depending on car/track/tires combo.. one time it's NFS Pursuit, the other it's an awesome sim...

Quote from flymike91 :

has anyone played the AI in forza and gt? Which one is better? I would imagine that they're pretty similar in that once you pass them, they're gone forever but I don't know for sure. Its always weird when you battle a car for 3 or more laps and when you finally pass them its like they give up.

I played Forza 3 for the first time about 2 months ago while on holiday with some family, and on AI pace it wins so handily it is embarrassing. On medium level they are quicker than GT5 AI and on slow are still smoother drivers(none of the multi braking zone, braking on apex crap, the GT5 AI does). On hard I had a very hard time winning with the controller, with the wheel it got easier but was still a really fun time(and actually the most competitive AI on any console game I've played), I actually had to try really hard when out-braking them and if I did get alongside enough they tryed to hold on around the outside.

Also just in general racing with them I could be right behind them and brake at my normal spot keep with them through the corner and do a whole lap, keeping a good pace but not go past, in GT5 I would have rear ended him or had to evade him at every corner due to the really really early braking.



GT5 is more fun for some reason but on:

• Tuning(the sheer amount of stuff you can do)
  
• Setup(same as above)
  
• Car count of cars you actually WANT to drive(MORE Ferraris, Lambos, Porsche, MANY race cars in the form of V8 Supercars, LMP1, LMP2, GT1, GT2 cars and LESS prius, samba bus, station wagons etc)
  
• AI(faster faster faster)
  
• Customization(Immense number of colours, wheels. Ability to paint any car anyway you want, with stickers and paint and and and. Artsy people must love it.
  

• Events(SO MANY, in groups of power, class, make, real life classes, Drag races, point to point races)
  

It is so beaten by Forza 3 its ridiculous esp considering it took so long to make in comparison.

In the drift trials all the top scores are Buick Specials? (On Tskuba atleast) And the top scorer is using Active Steering.. -____-

Just noticed with the Lamborghini Gallardo. The aero parts are identical to the SuperLeggera.

So If you want an LP570-4 SuperLeggera just put the correct aero parts on the normal Gallardo.

Just made a new B spec guy.

I've had cosmetic damage whilst racing before now though

They need to fix leaderboards so driving aids are on a different leaderboard all together. I don't wanna see what the fastest person can do with all assists on ffs.... This what I HOPED PD wouldn't do, the leaderboards will be just as retarded as the Forza ones........
