I can't wait to win even more racing suits and helmets that don't do a FUCKING thing except take up space.  Susej!!!

Give parts out.  Tires, weight reductions, etc.  Something that we can actually use in the damn game would be nice.

So tired of PD and that monster of an ego they carry around.  Battlefield 3 can't come soon enough.

I don't mind the helmets and suits.  I've got all the cars and can afford all the parts that I would need.  Kind of nice to have something different.  Most of the suits kind of suck though so now that I've got a combo that I like for my driver there isn't much incentive.  The big problem is that the  racing sucks.  The ai is horrible the give up as soon as you start your pass.  Most of the events are too easy if you are not careful and I don't have the time or motivation to try and make them harder.  Not my idea of fun.

And most of them are too short. Having some races that are twenty to fifty laps on most tracks would go some of the way to improving the off-line races. I miss those.

 :stoopid: I've been saying for a while I wish they could release more "races" instead of the seasonals.  Granted it's fun and all, but I'm quite tired of a "pass all the cars" race(?) where it's impossible to find the perfect handicap, and even if you match the lead cars specs they start so much ahead of you that you basically HAVE to overpower the other cars to have a chance at first.  I want RACING, you know, where everyone does laps together in similar cars, and there's passing goin on both directions.  Eh, I guess looking back even the a-spec "races" weren't usually a field of similar cars, was always only 1 or 2 you really had to compete with.

Oh well, this is why aside from still building up my garage and occasionally raking in cash by golding the seasonals a single time, I've come to GT5 only for the multiplayer, and thank goodness for guys like you all here to race with! :jimi:

There is 1 thing I'm left patiently waiting for...  ENDURANCE SAVES!  I want to beat the last 2 24 hour enduro's in a-spec but not as they are!  I still have 1 left in b-spec honestly I think, and maybe the fgt series there too...  one day I'll complete this game, one day!

I'm with you on this.  There's usually not a happy medium car you can run.  I have a similar issue with my go-to endurance race.  The 4-hour run at the Ring pays good credits for 4 hours work, but the cars are so dissimilar.  To keep the four hour monotony interesting, I try to take a car that runs with the lead car in the field, but that lead car is so much faster than the other cars, it's just you and the one other car. 

To be honest, and I was thinking about this just yesterday, I really miss the way some of the Prologue races were set up.  They gave you the car, the PP/tires, and the track...and we took it from there.

RM civic won't work, they fixed that bug. I had to get out of mine last week just to get into the Monaco one last session.

I ran my seasonals there Monday and Tuesday of this week...  Did they just block the RM Honda yesterday? 

Anyway, I was just mentioning it because it would make for a nice drive-in car...   (and it will...)  ;D

Now that I think about it it was my RM Integra that they said was not "Normal" Never the less it is an RM and it (should be) safe to assume the RM takes it's normal status away.
