PG2 - Nurburgring time?

[}{arlequin]

I haven't signed on yet so I don't know what's available as far as screen names... I'll try and register now.

[}{arlequin]

and another thing: the damn Best Buy in my area does not sell those online sign-up cards. (Maybe they're out) I don't really want to buy the bundle w/ some other game and headphones, neither of which I'll ever use... can I just register online w/o that plastic card?

[Tyson Schmidt]

Hey, you lied to me. The Nurburgring is not unlocked in Time Attack mode. I'd have to go online to race to unlock it.


So how can I run the "ring without winning it. Is there a secret code?

when we bought our xbox, it came with a free signup for a month card for xbox live. i think if you buy a new game that is compatible with xbox live most of them come with a free signup for xbox live card in it, not sure though

[Eric Mckenna]

My flatmate just remnded me that he had to win to unlock the "ring" but I am sure there is a damn code to unlock it but i have no cllue as to what it is... i'll dig around for a while to see what I can find out for you guys..
Sorryy.. I want you to get onthe RING tyson.. so I can crush ya! hahahaha

Eric

You'll run the block right Smitty?

[}{arlequin]

LOL, Tyson, I am having the same problem (scroll up on the thread) I've wasted an entire evening yesterday winning and winning and still no 'Ring. It's unlocked online but now I'm having problems getting the online membership number.

If you guys find the code, post it up please, or conversely, which event do we have to win to unlock it?

Once we're online, if we want to race head to head (all of us) do we still go to Time Attack?

edit: found some 'Ring shots from GranTurismo http://www.gpara.com/comingsoon/gt4/ss.htm

Bro...I will get some time on the box today and possibly get under your time! Ha Ha. I have been out killing myself on the hills putting miles on the Specialized Allez, must be ready for the championships at the end of the month. Good job on the 8:10...you still need to get into the 7's.

[}{arlequin]

ok, I've finally done the "live" thing. It's fun, although I still don't have the 'Ring unlocked, even in online time attack mode, so it makes practice kinda tough. Jumped into someone else's 'Ring race, but even in a fast car I was getting my butt kicked. I only ran two laps and they are the 9 minute kind.

I think I need to drive it in something really slow to learn it, but if you set up a 'Ring race, at least I'll be able to jump in. An all 2.7 race should be fun, but I can't promise I'll be clean, don't know the brake zones very well...

I'll enter your names today, mine is: NON PM

[Eric Mckenna]

HAHAHA I'll look for you guys..

[}{arlequin]

Eric,
How do I enter your screen names? Is there an area where you type them in, or do you just pick them while racing etc?

[k9handler]

Here is my new best...now I have some really sore fingers three hours of lap after lap.

The bar has been raised Eric...I know it's still not the best!

[}{arlequin]

woa, that's a good time Smitty... I wish I could download and follow your ghost! Sadly, I'm still in the 9's.

I'm gone for the holiday weekend, but maybe we should do some head-to-head racing. As the Nascar boys say: Rubbin's racin'

[Eric Mckenna]

OH MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Smity that is a great time give me a day to beat it... dammit!! hahahah
I wanna race everyone!!!! wheel to wheel.

[k9handler]

I did find out that there is no broadband access in the near future for my village, but I will go and get online at a friends house when he returns from vacation in a few weeks.

[emwporsche]

holy smokes that's only three seconds off!
Nice!

[ZLP]

Is this game worth getting? I read some reviews and they said it was very arcade like which I dont think I like. I think Gran Turismo 3 is about as arcade like as I can stand. What do you all think about this? I also read that while there are 100's of cars they all handle the same and just have more power or top speed....Give me some feedback guys!!!

Just got pgr 2 and i also have TOCA race driver 2. I like race driver 2 better.
