[QUOTE="mjk1"]^^ Did you buy suspension/aero part when doing the seasonal events ?dabest2500

I made BHP the max and weight the min.
Then I bought all tuning parts (flywheel carbon propeller shaft etc.) and all aero parts.
So everything possible.
I didn't fine tune anything either, apart from the gearing on the Challenger one. The top speed was too low.
I didn't find out till later, but i also had Skid Recovery on.

I attempted the last one first as it gave the most money and XP.

thanks, TC and ABS off ? 

Massive new update went live for GT today - 608Mb. Some of the features are listed below

-Seasonal Events 

- Online collectors dealership  (A place where you can buy race cars e.g. FGT )

- Option to turn off HUD 

- More prize cars completing AMG special event 

-  Nurburging 24hr/4hr unlocked (in practice and arcade mode) by completing AMG intermediate  

- Mechanical damage in practice mode 

- Back up save  

- You can watch replays again (no rewind function) 

- You can repeat race events without existing to the main menu  (no need to load event again)

- Credits are increased for some race - Only available till Jan 2011 

- Online experience points and credits

Also I hear there is another patch for the game, any idea what the patch does as I believe the first one was for improving the online side and the second was to sort some of the mechanical damage gameplay out.

Yes I think the patch should be coming out tomorrow (20th) but not sure. Its meant to be a big update, don't know all the details, I know they are adding a replay function and the ability to back up your save.

We will also be able to download 3 free cars on the 24th, sort of a christmas gift from Polyphony Digital. So far its only available in Japan not sure if its rolling out worldwide 

The problem is when you make a mistake on the special events like the Lotus Top Gear event. I like the option to be there, I mean you are not forced to use it but its nice to be available.Garfield360UK

GT is meant to be a simulation game, I don't PD will ever put that option in their games. It will probably make the races way to easy

Probably never going to see another Stargate franchise and MGM/Syfy don't seem too committed to the movies.
