Disconnect it from the net and reinstall, then it loads from disc.


A quick livery turned into an hours long mission, daft for a simple change but I had to manually redraw the stripes, and then got carried away making decals for the other bits!
Rather pleased with it though, and it’s running 500bhp now too biggrin

I’ve made tons of RSR style liveries on Sport, so I made a decal for the stripes to make life easier.
Soon as I work out how to access it in 7 I’ll share it

My connection is about as bad as it can be, and it works fine.
It took me 12 hours to download the digital version to give you an idea of how bad it is!
The reason for online saves are to stop people hacking the saves apparently.
Personally I can’t see why it would bother anyone, it’s hardly noticeable

In case you'd not realised. I over tuned a car for an online race (149hp instead of 147). Unlike some of the earlier games you don't seem to be able to remove mods just replace them with better ones. However, there is a mod to reduce power in the second tab if you do that same as me. The ballast is a good buy as well to trim the car back up to minimum weights.
In the car setting you can use the drop down menu for each part to choose between the original one or any of the upgrades you’ve bought

I really hope a 964 comes up for sale soon, I keep seeing them teasing me in the races!

I’ve only seen 997 and 930 for sale so far or I’d have snapped one up

Add it to your wishlist and a flag will appear above the dealership when one is available.
You can only add old cars to a wish list when they’re for sale?
I can’t see anywhere else to even see the older ones

It’s a shame you can’t space out the original wheels, but that’s a minor thing.
All of my favourites have had the wide body treatment so far.
Just bought a 930 biggrin



And my Oxford green E36


Loving the LM’s at the moment too!

Yes, to me it’s a mega polished GT3 with loads of improvements. Exactly what I hoped for.

Funnily enough I was on the garage screen yesterday when it was panning round the interior of my E46 and I noticed the analogue clock was the correct time

Is it worth getting for PS4 (non-Pro)? Or are the PS5 graphics what make it great?
And where the heck do I get a PS5 hehe
The Pro graphics are excellent too, if you’re on a 4 and do t want to spend as much on a 5 then a Pro is still a decent and now pretty cheap upgrade.
Especially if you pick one up with a load of games, you can sell those on to reduce the cost even further

Am I missing something?
Once you’ve initially loaded the licence test then it just restarts straight away to retry if you don’t get gold?
The bit that annoys me is having to watch it pan around the car at the start of each attempt for the 20th time laugh

Anyone else wishing there were more saloons and estates?
I’ve always preferred them to coupes, sports and supercars!
Where is the RS2, RS4, RS6, Giulia Quadrifoglio, Jaguar Project 8, Lotus Carlton, M5, W204 C63, Golf R estate, Impreza, Evo 9 estate, Volvo 850 T5-R, and the rest of them!

The invites are clearly an attempt to panic people into buying credits so they don’t miss the window of opportunity to buy the car on offer. I would imagine that you’ll only ever receive invites when you don’t have enough balance to buy it straight away!
I’ve only had one so far, for one of those hideous Citroen things that I have zero interest in.

As for all golds, I won’t move on to the next test u til I get a gold in the one I’m on! You’ve just got to stick at i.
If your method isn’t working over and over then considering changing it. Maybe a change down is all that’s needed instead of braking as well? A slight lift rather than braking etc

I had had a couple of days off getting golds, so thought I’d get a couple more I-A tests out the way today and wasn’t aware of the new bug.
I started to wonder why I was struggling to get remotely near bronze, let alone gold!
I’ve never been a fan of the rally stuff any way

I found that if you just want to get on to do enough for the daily mileage, do the Gr4 high speed ring race twice.
It clears the mileage to get a prize ticket, and if you do clean races it earns 195k in about 12 minutes.

Appeared today 1.5m
Definitely showing as 1.5?
I’ve literally just loaded the game, and first job is to check legends and 2nd hand garage…

That’s what I was wondering!
This is my current selection, there’s just another black 997 GT3 at the bottom which wouldn’t fit on.
The bottom right one behind the logo is a Civic EK touring car in orange

I finally found that one licence that everyone has, the one which drives you insane! laugh
It’s the one I’ve struggled with most so far, but I refused to move on until I had gold. It was IA-5 in the Nissan at Le Mans Porsche corners, I was only .035 away, but got there in the end.
I wish it had an attempt counter, but I know it added 105 miles to my daily count eeksmash

I found a handy way to adjust those last few PP to get a car under limit is to adjust the ride height. Literally 1mm change can add or remove a few PP rather than swapping part combinations
