GT5 Tips and suggestions

Thought I would start a topic so that anyone can offer tips on getting trophies, credits etc.

The fastest repeat money I have found so far is Professional: British Lightweights, London track. 24.100 credits for 3 minutes of racing.

When doing the Snow / Ice or Night races, you can lower or raise the "brightness".
After you have pressed the green race "START" flag, press the controller or wheel start button, go to "quick options, you can make the brightness adjustment, along with the map size and location.

Special events, Top Gear Test Track advanced. accelerate to 49/50 mph and feather the throttle, dont let it hit the rev limiter at 51, your speed drops to 45. Got Gold first time doing this.

I hope these help, if anyone has others, please list.

Great info, keep them coming.

found more easy money.

Turbo cars race at HSR. Use your race modified Integra (maxed out) for an easy $36,000 + experience points. You can run it as many times as you want. It bought me my maxed out race modified ZR1 (thanks HSR)

You can also run the last kart special event at autumn ring mini for a cool $119,000. Not bad for 5 laps.

BlackJack, You only get the credits in Special Events the first time.

Another good one is Extreme Series, Schwarzwald League B, at the Ring.
8 minutes, 59,000 credits, 4,720 exp points, and good practice thown in.

Make that 7 min, 20 secs, lol

You only get the credits the 1st time at Special Events, what about trophies? Does it help any at all running there 2nd or 3rd time?

If you get a silver, you can go back for a gold and get the points and credits for it. You almost need to in later stages. I have golds through my IC tests and gold and silver in the IB and IA tests. Mostly silver in the S test with 2 bronze and a gold. Now at level 22 I need to start turning silver into gold, presro magico!

So, eventually you will need to have all golds to obtain S class? Does this apply to all races in A-Spec, Special Event? How do I do that lol. I have given up on golds cuz a few all I need was just .002 seconds to bring home the golds and failed lol. I do need a week off and glue to the racing seat, 2-3 hours a day isn't good enough lol.

You dont need all golds in lower licences in order to qualify for the "S" licence.
Bronze and Silver, with a certain amount of EXP points, and you can obtain the "S" licence.

3Card, that sounds way much better less stress on me cuz the lady at home wouldn't be very happy if I'll take a week off for the S license

You're right Clubs, this game has to be played with caution, not only on the track, but also the amount of time, so that the wife does'nt get upset.

I like that icon of the little lady with her mouth flying, better than or

A tip for the final NASCAR special events.

The ASM is lock to "on" in the options menu. If you can, turn it off from your wheel. My wheel lets me do that. I don't know about the G25 or 27. Controller user might have a tough time...Good Luck!

This event was killing me until I turned the "aid" off.

This also may apply in the extreme NASCAR races.

On my last few races I've found to leave the ABS alone (default setting) and turn off active steering helped me quite a bit.

Guess what you get for all golds in the licence tests...


Nissan GT-R SpecV (GT Academy Version) '09


Not sure if you will be needing this car for GT Academy or not, thought it would be good to let everybody know!

Great job DMH!

If all gold is a requirement, that sure will narrow down the field..including me..lol.

DMH Congrats!!! I'm proud of your dedication but I'm jealous shhhhh…. Ace don't get jeolous

Awesome stuff DMH!! Congratulations on all your hard work!

A great prize for a great effort! Good work DMH, glad we have guys up front to scout the way in such a vast game. I wonder what other surprises are in store for us. Are there any differences between the acadamy version and standard?

my best tip i can give is dont piss off your wife so much that she earases your file and then thinks its funny. oh man i had 4.5 mill , 60 golds on the licenses allmost 200 cars. i guess ill stop bitching about her being on ps home so much. lol. love is love will not fade away. no big deal tho im allmost back to where i was allready. and i deleted her whole wardrobe from ps home. ha ha man it fun to be married. its all good we just play rough lol . after 25 years you got to be able to take a punch right.

Ywah, well, sounds like you got punched in the wrong eye! lol 1ej.

LOL 1ej, that would be an aweful thing to do (erasing GT5~!) the wardrobe was fair play, LOL.
