GT2000? Isn't your tuned time 1' 39.037? Your combined time total adds up that way. Typo maybe?
Happy Time Trialing, Brian

Hey all,
don't want to seem ignorant (but its too late) where can I get this and at what cost. Its time I started using my PS3, I bought it with the intention of getting GT5, but I can't wait. Right now my $500 is going to waste, please help!! (Australia = over priced gaming equipment and games)

Thanks!!!
I haven't done anything with my PS3 yet, but NOW I WILL!!!!!
Now lets see how different GT5 is to GT4... I never got prologue, way to expensive for a prologue, not worth it. (in Aus...)

Without running GT5 prologue,
Normal Car 1'58.xxx Ranked 3540 LOL
(I ran the car as is for 3 laps) a bit of work to do here... 8 seconds worth of work!!

You guys are kicking butt! I've only messed with tuned car, and for only a couple laps, and I was at 1'44 something.
BTWhite37 - looks like you might be cracking the top 100!

As far as I can tell, there isn't a damage engine implemented in the demo. Granted, I only tapped the wall once at high speed, but the only thing that happened was my lap time was excluded from the rankings.

The demo has no damage. First thing I did was test this theory, end of the main straight, full speed head-long into the wall... no issues other than my lap being disallowed... I have one issue with the system already, hitting the wall on the last corner, sees your current lap disallowed, as well as the next one. You can't actually make time by using the outside wall... anyway, it was only a 1'53.7 on the next lap
Kerr, 1'44 will probabley see you go to the 1'30s, if you put an hour down... I better go back and improve some times!
I did... LOL AT MY PLACINGS!!

@griffinforrest - you are so right, racing with the AI cars in GT3 was about as pleasant as being bashed upside the head with a ball ping hammer.
@stigs - I'm hoping so, as far as the times go. I haven't had a chance to play much in the past couple days, but I'm definitely going to get some time in this weekend.
@dawg40011 - nice color there!

BTWhite37, I think you have made an error on you tuned car times.
I don't think you are ranked 1113, please check!

Got any tips for the tuned car. I've hit a wall at 1'39.5... and my time is really killing me. So close to the top 500... yet so very far away.
(I'm guessing you're using a wheel and pedal setup)
Thanks,
Stigs

Not much tuning available....... Steering on Professional.... "Zero" for tractrion control,...., Racing line ON, and remeber "smooth is fast" ........... and yes, I'm using a Logitech G25 on a home made racing stand that slides up in front of my "Lazy Boy"......... comfy racing.
Note: Download the replays and/or ghost cars from the fastest driver, (GTP_timeattack) here in the States, and follow his lines,....... I picked up over a second and then some that way. Good luck, Brian
