That RB will be the future F1 imho, we can discuss in 20yr's over our tea and biscuit's :hehe: .


That RB does not run, it was built more for wind tunnel testing for GT5 but my bet is if its built, I am betting Newey will run it in LeMans 24hr because I think it fits in more of the prototype class then F1 with all its restrictions. I would love to see it beat the living daylights out of everyone at LeMans but the catch is...what's the catch for Red Bull Racing racing in LeMans?

The problem is that car would be very illegal under LMP regs too... :P

Man, I am doing the 24hr race again, need to get to Level 45 to complete the game, only at level 36, probably have to race the 24hr 4 times. I took the RB X2010 online yesterday, people where shocked by how insanely fast the car was, these were some of the comments I heard through my TV "what the f*ck was that?" ( I flew by people as they where doing 200mph) "its the Red Bull car, we have no chance", "f*ck f*ck f*ck" and I get a lot of this "how did you get the Red Bull car?". ...... man 15 more hours to go before I finish my 2nd 2hr run :irked:

I'm currently on the Indy 500 race; going to have to do that one a few times to move upto level 30 for the next race; 1000km Suzuka; my wife is complaining about four hour races, she wasn't best amused when I informed her that there are a number of 24 hours races to complete, might need to buy a second PS3 to stop the earbashing! :hehe:

They need to make it easier on GT6, who the hell wants to race 24hr five times? that' five straight freaking days!!! Racing it once or twice and I can get a good handle on it, repeating it over 5 times is just stupid plus the PS3 GT Disc is running full time. How about having a "save point" during the race so we can come back later to continue :banghead:

A save point would be useful and painfully obvious I feel; to spend that much time developing a game and forgetting to include a save option is unforgivable!

God I am so Jealous! :yes: I have not done one endurance race and just didn't give b spec that much credit.. Its ok, but I like driving!

I think they wanted this game to take a year or so to complete since it takes them so long to come out with the next series.. I don't think they expected a lot of bmwpowers out there putting some serious terabyte hours in to get through the game..

I am gonna have to focus on b spec I guess..

Can I put the game on and go to work for the endurance? Come home for lunch to check on them?

It depends on your driver level and car. If you have at least level 20+, put him into the Formula GT car, come back after work or after your nap and your in 1st. BUT if all the cars are equal like Nascar or Formula GT Series, then you will need to stick around to "coach" your driver since everyone else is equal as you. It is not as simple as "pace up" "pace down" or "pass", keep an eye on your "cool & hot" meter and know when and where to pass at the right time otherwise your driver will spin out, your driver will spin out a lot in the Nascar Series since the cars are so close together.

Well; that was a waste of 12.5m credits; bought an F2007 in anticipation of being able to use it in the endurance races and it won't allow me into A Spec or B Spec; saying that the F2007 can only be used in Ferrari F1 events; which is currently not available, but at least I could take it for a spin in practice mode!

I did pass Level 30 in B Spec and took the opportunity to drive the RB X2010 in the Seb Vettel Challenge, and you weren't kidding bmwpower; the car is so skittish; the slightest of touches sends the car into the wall or into a spin, it is quick but undrivable, even at 270mph, it still wants to oversteer like crazy!

Well that blows that you can't use the F2007 in unlimited races... I was gonna buy one also.. I want the 20mill Jag, just because, but I am not sure what I am gonna get yet.. My guys are racing right now and we just turned lvl 18..... Just keep driving I guess..

bmwpower, thanks for the info regarding endurances that does help.. lucky bast@rd.. :hehe:

I hated the RB X2010 at first, but after practicing with it and tweaking it a little, its an awesome car but it does feel a little cartoonist.

by the way, I may be crazy, or a freak, but I downloaded all 300 or so songs from GT5 and made a "best of" CD.. You can get it here:

You are not crazy, trust me, once you start doing the 4hr, 9hr, 24hr Endurance Races repeatily over and over, you will have plenty of time on your hands.
