Here are some tip for you guys with GT5
1. Level up quickly in the beginning of the game by doing the "Special Challenges" as they dispense experience and credits faster than the Spec races.
2. Having trouble with the Top Gear Test Track Samba bus race? Try ignoring the racing line and follow these rules: Tap the brake at Wilson. Take the inside at Chicago and tap the brake, Take the inside at the hammerhead and tap the brake, then cut the corner when you start turning right, then flat out until you hit Bacharach start outside of the racing line, don't cut the inside so much that you go off the track, but come close, and just tap the brakes, then let off the gas a bit through Gambon, and across the line! Remember if you hit another bus or try to pull a Tom Cruise you'll be disqualified. You are allowed to sideswipe buses as long they are turning into you also.
After a few tries you should be able to pass them all in one lap.
3. To get the Penniless trophy, buy a Dhiatsu Copen Active Top and then go to the "Gran Turismo" Dealership and buy a Go-Kart. MAKE SURE you do this before buying any cars or doing any races, otherwise it will probably be a lot harder getting to zero credits.
4. When you've finished your License tests, turn off "User BGM" and disable "Race BGM" in order to save precious RAM bandwith. Trust us, Gran Turismo 5 needs it.
5. The oil change glitch is still present. When you buy a brand-new car, IMMEDIATELY take it to the shop and get the oil changed. It's only 250 credits, and you can get a significant power bump?on an Audi R8 5.2 FSI it's around 30HP, but it'll be different with each car.

My only question: Can you turn the penalties off in the full version? I played prologue and hated it because of the stupid penalties, and I don't buy that crap about "realism" - I have raced competitively on a real track and there is rarely any of those stupid penalties. If you can turn them off, I'll buy it, if not - forget it. Other games are catching up quickly and GT needs to keep up, no stupid penalties in Grid or NFS Shift (damage yes, penalties, no)

Any tips for making the M5 stop bouncing with sport fixed and fully adjustable? I swear I spent 2 hours trying to get the car to stop. It happened when I added wither the supersoft slicks and or the the rear wing..I have taken them off and nothing ...It is awesome seeing huge cloud of smoke bellowing from the tires on corner entry! Ugh this game
