    Formula Gran Turismo. Will smoke every car in the field.

    You gotta win it by winning the Nurburgring 24Hr Enduro. I BSpec'd the 24hr with a chapparral 2D.

    Hi, my name is Dave, and I use Bspec every time I'm allowed to.

    I used the Audi R8 for the 24hr ring, I ended up lapping the 2nd place car buy overkill. Dave is right, there is nothing else like the Formula Gran Turismo.

    STATS from May 15 2005

    LAPS 222

    29 laps ahead of 2nd place car. - NISSAN Skyline GT-R (Falken 'Ring 24H '04)

    44 laps ahead of the 6th place car - M BENZ 190E 2.5 16V Evolution II (Sonax DTM '92)

    My cockpit is being modifed so I'm going to be using the stock ps2 controller for a little bit.

    Truthfully, When I do race A spec, I'm faster with the Dual Shock controller than with the DFP. But the DFP is Soooooooooooo much more fun.

    B-spec is going right now on the European 1000 miles event. Just finished nurburgring, opera paris is going. I made the mistake and forgot to get racing tires so i have to pit alot more often. I must say though, thank god for PIP so i can watch the yankees red sox game at the same time.

    I bought a PS2 and GT4 today. I bailed on my seven month old X-Box. Any recommendations for first car and track? Advice? Thanks.

    Start off with a used car (Honda Civic, Mazda Miata, etc.) Tranny & engine will give you the best advantage on the beginner courses. Run the manufactures cups to build up cash, complete them & win a new car.

    Repeat for all other events.

    I currently have over 132 cars in my garage, most of them modified. Enjoy the game.

    I did it in B spec mode @ x3 the speed. B SPEC will pit itself, refuel, change tires without you makeing the selection for the game. It goes into effect as a default after pullinto the pits after 10 seconds. I did have on issue where it pitted at LAP 162, it pulled in then just sat there for 2 minites until I caught it. I didn't touch the controller so I still can't figure out how or why that happened.
