Sat 6 October 7.30pm GT 5 European Retro Racing

This week we'll be racing in 3 differernt European cars.
No Racing tyres on them
1960s up to 400 PP
1970s up to 450 pp
1980 up to 500 pp
We'll be racing around London, Milan, Rome, Spa and the twin ring courses (if everyone has the DLC) If not we'll improvise.
We'll also be experimenting with compulsary pit stops .

 

Theres about 80 tracks so as Chrisspy says , no DLC tracks this week.
Also finding it hard to find a suitable 80s European car. Thay are all Japanese !
So far I can get my Audi Quatro up to 478pp, or could use the Volvo estate which might go to around that or downtune a Lancia Intergralle rally Car. I've a Lotus senator or cavalier thing which is 1990 , might just cheat and use that or change the rules when no one is looking.
Anyone else finding a decent 1980 European car hard to come accross?

 

Seems to be a few Rally cars , so hows about we do european rally cars up to 1995 with up to 550 pp around the alpine track and on an alaskan snow map?

 

Also if you are after quick money, one of this months seasonal events is the Daytona oval in american cars pre 70s with 500pp. Just about any car set at 500 pp gets you 230.000+ for a five lap race, the other cars are so slow you cant lose.

 

Brilliant, It really is fun in a room with other hopeless drivers.
Dont let the complicated menus put you off, Once you get used to it , it fine. Single player can become a grind, best to just use it as a tutorial to start with as you dont earn much money from racing. Later on the races in single player become too long and rather boring (IMHO).
Season events are the best things to practice in, as the rewards are big.
If you look on the community tab then click on one of our names you will see some cars that are shared, You can use these to do the seasonal events which are an easy way of getting money together to buy the cars that you want.
You should perhaps start a "new to GT 5" thread to ask the best ways to do things in the game.

 

I spent a wee while creating some tracks, Dirt and Snow only to find that you can only share ONE. So its shared if anyone fancies practising on it. Might use it for a rally race on Saturday if I can find a decent rally car. Just put some dirt tyres on a Lotius elise and its fun around the dirt and snow with it.
Doas anyone else have tracks made, if so pop one on to share as I cant see any SNRs sharing tracks.

 

Looks on two of your profiles earlier and theres nothing there. Dont suppose you saved the Ice one that I made months ago?
