I saw the Formula Gran turismo on the used car dealership and man was I pissed :(
I wanted it so bad but I dont have enough money and I'm not lvl 24 :(


but fuckin NASCAR on Extreme is tough (only the last Daytona race)


Turn the ABS off for Daytona. If you don't, that's how you get smoked through the corners. At least that's what it said on the gt forums. I haven't tried it yet.

shouldnt it be the other way around?
like putting 10 abs on would give maximum grip in croners instead of braking grip?

Turning the ABS off forces the other thing to go off. I forgot what it's called, but it's on by default because of it being a NASCAR car. That other thing causes you to slow down significantly in the corners.

You shouldn't be braking in the first place on Daytona...

that one pissed me off but i golded em all (especially the last race in the series, 10 lap daytona)

putting on soft racing tires helps btw.

Daytona tips: No point in being 1st place for 10 laps because the cars behind you will draft/slip stream on you and zoom by. What i did was stay in 3rd-5th place for 8 laps. Its easy just stay behind them, bumper to bumper the whole time pretty much. When the 9th lap begins, make your move on the 1st straight stretch and go into 2nd place behind the 1st guy and be bumper to bumper with him. Follow him like this until the 10th lap and when you get into that stretch again, overtake him and block the pack behind you for like ~10 seconds (its the last left turn after the stretch, and you can win)

it took me5 tries doing it this way. if you fuck up though, you wasted like 6-8 mins for nothing ( i messed up on the 8 and 9th lap 4 times -.-, sucks i had to go through it again)
