One quick Q - is it possible to buy different alloys?

Had a look last night but couldn't find it. Mate says you can but I don't know.

Yes, go to GT Auto where you can change oil, wash car, buy wheels (new and 2nd hand) and buy a big silly rear wing.

genrally yeah

although my caddilac thing with about 940bhp has traction control set to 3 and the anti spin set to 2 for under steer and over steer, as i find the control pad not quite as "subtle" as i would like to try and control the dam thing

the tracton control is still working in 4th and 5th gear
agreed with it being a pain for each car!

I'm new to the GT series and the PS2. Started playing last night and during a race you loose throttle and steering and if you apply full throttle it bounces between full and none. Even if I quit the reace and restart it does it again. Has the PS2 got a problem or is it a race penalty/car problem for crashing ?

Thanks

David

If you crash your car, then the car is automatically put in 1st gear for 5seconds, you should still have steering though...

I'm assuming this is what you mean !!!

That only happens in the special section though? Not in normal races. Sounds like a different issue to me!

Mog, where did you get the Mazda touring car from? Managed to get about 8.2% through at the minute but my missus keeps moaning at me so I am not getting as much time on it as I would like!!

500bhp out of a M3 CSL is a bit, er, "twitchy" without the driving aids as well!! It doesn't seem to like corners very much!!!

Does anyone know at what mileage your car packs in at?

I looked into this over on gtplanet.net and I don't think you can! Once you have swapped your wheels that is it, you only have the 1 set for that car..

Has anyone found that when using the analog sticks and appplying lock the throtle cuts out, make oversteer immpossible and winning races very hard as most of the time i'm coasting around the corners, i'm finding it a real pain in the ***.

I'd forgot how hard it is getting golds on some license tests, got all silver on National B & A licenses and half way through International B, I've got a handfull of golds so far which I got straight away but damn some of the times seem impossible
