    Left my bob doing 24H race at and its all gone wrong, from what I can see the car is racing in the air, there is no track only trees and sky.

    Its also in slow motion mode, its like the matrix... the remote doesn't work, and half of the opponents vanished, they aren't listed in the race.

    dont know if I should reset the console, I will probably wait the timer reaches 24H, maybe its not all wasted.

    Really this game... is really pissing me off more and more.

    23 hours of time and energy wasted, I am beginning to think that the game is slowly killing my ps3 for doing all of these Bspec grind races, this is the second time something like this appends.

    Now I cant even enter the sarthe 24H race, the loading just takes for ever and the console resets.

    Gona try to reinstall the game, probably some files got corrupted when I turned the power off.

    Corrupt^ I have done this race 6 or 7 times without problems, but twice this has append.

    EDIT:. just turned the PS3 on, got a message that the file system is corrupted and its being restored.... I hope that the save games aren't affected...

    I made a backup two days ago but since then I've done one endurance race (laguna seca) and I really dont want to do it again.

    All this money & XP grinding is just not worth the risk.

    EDIT:. 2

    And the restore is stuck at 48% its bean almost 5 hours.

    EDIT:. 3

    After over 10 hours I gave up, I am currently trying to repair the disc with seatools, maybe I get lucky...

    Gona loose alot of save games :bang:

    This is why people don´t use FAT anymore! It took two forced shutdowns to corrupt the file system.

    So.... after hours trying everything, its no use. I lost all my save games except GT5 that I backed up.

    Thank you Sony for adopting this bull**** file system, and thank you Yamauchi for this crap XP grind system.

    LOL this is not happening! Some cars disappeared from the garage! One of them is the Lamborghini Miura a 15.000.000CR car! I know I had it on the last backup! You win the miura in one of the races.

    I wonder if there are any more cars missing.

    Also all the record lap Times are gone, and Replays, photos.

    And half of the thumbnails on the cars are missing, I have to create one by one manually WTF?

    They call this a save game?

    Something tells me it's time to swap out that Seagate HDD...

    @Copey, the Peugeot 908 HDI FAP is a really nice fast car, but obviously not a rally car.

    I'm in the same situation, i finished the GT All Stars yesterday with a tuned GT by Citroën Race Car, was hard work but i golded them all. Cant find an old school race car for the Historic car cup though, i may have to go back to some old school series and grind em untill i win something decent.

    Right I am a tad peed off with this game now. The number of faults, flaws and major wtf that are in this game borders on close to stupid. Yes the game has been patched and yes their is another patch coming soon but here's the big question is anything actually being done to resolve the many many issues the game has? Reading how PD thinks anyone cares about an update that allows you to control B Spec without being next to your PS3 whilst failing to mention any progress on the major issues such as

    - Lack of actual gameplay
    - A moronic levelling system
    - No save option for endurance races
    - Weak unstructured championships
    - Challengeless races
    - Online gameplay that sits somewhere between facepalm and terminal boredom waiting to actually get a race
    - Uneven graphic levels ranging from just painfully bad to wonderful

    So, really, are we actually gonna see a start on fixing the many many issues this game has?

    OMG If you see the TVR Cerbera Speed 12 on the dealership buy it!! what a monster! 5 laps on laguna seca and the tires are shred to pieces, I used this car to do the laguna seca endurance race and what a great fun.

    And by the way polyphony please do something so its easy to know if you already have a certain car, its becoming more and more difficult to keep track off what I already have, and its boring to go check in the garage every single time.

    Seems PD is going rough times this week. No new seasonal events and USA GT Academy has been forced to reset twice already because people cheat and cut corners.
