Thats what I thought!! Ferrari would get free advertising. It should really be the other way round if you know what I mean, they pay for their cars to be in a game as big as this.You'd think that ferrai would jump at it.

Ferrari pay PD for the car to be in the game? I dont think so. Oh and come to think I dont think a game will make a person say Oh I want that car! But then again ALOT of car people say the GT series is the reason why the Subaru's WRX STI's came to America! And many other Japanesse cars! So I really dont know...

Do Ferrari really need advertising???

I don't think so. They just want money.

But having a Ferrari in your video game is a great advertising for you (so they charge $$$$)

IMO, why Ferrari is in not so hype games? Like the Forza, Project Gotham Racing, etc. Those games aren't popular enough so they need to have Ferrari and Porsche in it to get attention from the crowd. Not like GT, its already known in the whole wide world...just like leo_26782 said

what i do for the setup for b-spec is what i call an "apex setup" where you have a setup which initially holds that apex grip as long as possible. the comp seems to come into a corner, hold the speed required for the amount of grip and then accelerate when the coast (grip) is clear.

normally i setup for late braking and throtle play to stabalise the car. loads of front end grip meaning... front end bias with a loose but responsive rear. (hard springs with lots of preload and rebound to taste for the front and softer springs, less preload but more rebound out back). stick tons of camber up front with a little less in the back. lift the rear end and lower the front. but try to keep a 50-50 weight. toe in at the front and lots of out in the back.

this is for a mr of course and you'd have to adjust the weight distribution with a different car.

you adjust the sway bars at 1 with one up on the front if oversteers on the turn in and one up on the back if it over steers on the throttle out.

for b-spec do all this... but in the opposite. the comp seems to like being aggressive on the corner exit so having it fast there will gain you those seconds.

those are my findings anyways. give it a try.

^^ Far too much thinking - I just gave my Minime an F1 car and let him have at it.

He did all the enduros for me one week a few months back
