It's definitely a must have racing game if you are into sim racing

I take it you're enjoying it

which region did you pick Boody?

One thing I've noticed is not to indulge my appetite in putting the
latest and greatest on every car I like. I had a really nice celica and
evo but had to go out and buy a new car to compete in different races
that were greyed out....I also can turn just about all the extras off
'cept for the dynamic line (i love that thing!) and the stability
management cuz I sometimes oversteer. This game is sweeeet!

So I rushed and picked this game up
it took me a while to figure out the braking and gas system
to make it work the best
the arrow on the road rules
I was getting whooped on, then I started tuning
pretty much left the other cars in the dust then
this game is awesome
I have never played a gran turismo game
but after this, why would I want to
I am addicted
it took the great racing rally sport had
and added so much more
I have won 3 more cars, but i just want to play with the Talon
it is too bad I have won all it's races

Uh-ah.. Trying to pretend that you are in control. You did not call it
quits when you got to level 10. You were *made* to quit by the better
half .. (I know exactly what happened there.)

My wife had to pry the controller out of my hands to go to bed last night.
I think it's awesome how you can tweak almost every aspect of the game.

> which region did you pick Boody?

Which ever was default or 1st pick.
I'm not sure what you mean by region because I raced all over (Asia, New
York, Maple ) last night.
Once I got to level 10 I called it quits. This game is going to take weeks,
if not months, to complete.

I put just enough performance parts on the cars so I have a decent edge over
the CPU cars in most races.

> I had a really nice celica

Yeah, I have 2 cars that are already really pumped up.

I left everything at default until the last couple races yesterday.
I will start to turn off one setting at a time.
I "ABSOLUTELY" dig the dynamic line!
It teaches you the best line and speed for each turn.

One of the best racers I have played in recent years.
I only wish the graphics were a just lil tighter.
Don't get me wrong, there great, but they don't wow me.

NO DOUBT.

I snuck downstairs before work and got to level 11 this morning.

At the beginning you pick asia, europe, or N. America which pretty much
determines the price of cars (i.e. import or domestic)

Yeah, so did I. But in the later experience levels you'll have more
speciality challenges where you won't be able to do that much to your
car in order to compete.

I picked the 1st option.
Which one did you pick?
Can you pick a different region later in the game?

Sounds like the game is going to get hard fast.
I noticed the under 200 and 300hp races. I don't understand them though.
I entered the under 200hp with a Nissan 240sx and the cars pulled away from
me like I was standing still.
So I went and tweaked it to 197hp and I was no longer eligible for the race.
I can see myself getting frustrated with that aspect of the game rather
quickly.

That is my same "EXACT" complaints with the graphics of the game.

Must have. Best sim racer ever to grace a console (from a big GT fan
that's high praise).

I think the first option is n. america, not sure, but I went with Asia.
I love japanese cars ever since I lived over there for a period of time
Had to get my evo on the game cuz I can't stand to spend the 30+ in
real life!

I kind of dig those races, ya know they make you go out and try new cars
.. Otherwise you'd only want to drive your fastest ya know. But you
should have been elgible with 197hp! Something must have went wrong and
it went up to 201 or something. For the under 200hp, I chose the toyota
mr2 (i love they way that little thing whips around corners). I had to
dry a couple of variations b4 that though that didn't pan out (i.e.
trueno). Go with the MR2, you can't go wrong on that race!

yea, that line is superb. The way it changes color depending on your
speed is a big plus in my book too. Once you get the hang of it, you
should be able to turn most stuff off but I really like keeping that
line and the stability control, cuz i have a tendency of oversteering
too much. But I would much rather have oversteer than under so I
cambered my tires, really dropped the ride down and some other
tweaks.... That benchmark tool is really great for eyeballling what your
tweaking has accomplished. By widening my gears, I was able to keep the
same 0-60,0-100 and bump up top speed by like 30mph!

I have a hard time steering the MR2.
I had to work my arse off to win the MR circuit/event (or whatever) with my
car built up to the max of what is available.
I will have to strip her down to enter the under 200hp race :-(

btw, my cars are the Mitsubishi Evo VIII FQ330, the Toyota MR-S, Toyota
APR Performance Celica GTS (with some sweet graphics and side skirts I
might add),Pontiac GTO, and Ford Mustang GT (the latter 2 gifts from
Ford and Pontiac). Everything is pretty souped up right now, and I have
about 100k of dough to spend. Damn it, I need a muscle car to race in
that classic car circuit. And they're too expensive. I'm doing the
Roadster circuit right now with the MR-S; grand prize is the Porsche Boxter.

I started 3 careers, one in each region as my home region with three
different usernames. The names of the career with the home region is as
follows: Andretti / N. America, Schumacher / Europe, and finally Sato /
Asia. I was going to go with Matsushita for the asian career but was too
lazy to run upstairs to look up the spelling.on the internet at the time.

I was just curious as what the difference is and how much it really makes a
difference on starting out in which region so I figured if I started 3
different careers, one in each region, I would see how much of an effect it
had on the game. So far I am on level 12 with Andretti and started with the
Focus SVT and oddly enough the only cars that have been "gifted" to me so
far is a Tom's Toyota and a Wings West Civic I believe. I figured I would
be gifted cars from American manufacturers but haven't been so far. Anybody
else that has started their career in N. America been "gifted" any American
cars yet? If so what level were you at and car were you driving before the
gift happened?
