I can close my eyes and lap it in my head, it is one of my favourites same but strange that no one seems to want to race on it in public lobbies but one thing ive noticed is that practice pace isnt really accurate because in the race all you need is a good slipstream and clean driving and its anyones game

Believe it or not we've learnt quite a lot about GT5's quirky ways over the years, sorry for trying to help you guys out.

Roule Duke said: Have a look on gtplanet there is a really comprehensive tuning manual, it covers everything. Im still getting my head around it. lol Well worth a look though. Learnt loads reading it. If you can't find it I've got PDF copies, I could alway send it via email. Granted No-one seemed to have noticed this^^ myself included...sorry.

So putting a big torquey turbo on and turning the power right down on a powerful car will always give you an advantage on PP.  Torque is taken into account Okay, it must have changed then.. It never used to. No need to shake your finger at me  Was taken in good spirits at the time^^^ If it offended you then I'm Sorry for correcting your mistake...opinion spoken as FACT is often the case.

Any help or tips are appreciated from anyone but iirc i was told this type of champ wouldnt work and wouldnt last 2 weeks aswell by guys from your champ so maybe you can understand that some members have taken a dislike to these comments being made.

The top 6 in our "use a car you like and tune it yourself" series are covered by 30 points The top 6 in their "all use the same car" series are covered by 135 points. Each series clearly has people that enjoy what they are doing, otherwise they'd leave the series so all is good. Let's all just get along eh?

I don't know if there's been any bug fix since - it was a while ago - but one race we had on SSR5, generated complaints from almost everyone that raced that night, for not being able to get anywhere near the lap times they had achieved before. Cars handling completely differently, no grip, etc, etc. Even people in the same cars being left behind on the straights (with no tuning)? It was very wierd. There was a problem. We had a close to full lobby, and all in premium cars.

It's a odd phenomenon and tbh it seems confined to GT5...you/we don't get these petty arguments between different series/championships on Forza4!!!
EVERYONE just enjoys playing the game and joins in with each others series regardless of who is organising/running them...perhaps some of the "grown-ups" on GT5 could learn something from the kids on Forza?

Oooh grand valley full is a good shout. Think the elevations would destroy my poor old lotus though. Like you Chris, I like doing the oddball circuits that nobody races. London for example.
