*Please note that to purchase the DLC and the Family Upgrade, the region of your GT5 disc (Regions: Europe, North America, Japan, Asia) and the region of the PSN account which is used to sign in to the PlayStation[emoji]174[/emoji]Store (selected when setting the address during account creation) must match. For example, if a user who owns the North American disc purchases the DLCs and Family Upgrade with an account that has a UK address and location, they will not be able to use the DLC using the North American game disc.

So there you have it, folks. Still won't work. Sigh.

For me, 10-15m...
The "sound improvements" weren't significant, but to me, there's definitely a bit more "grunt" from some of the cars.  Oh well.

Nice having wheel-changes on the standards though...

Also was gifted the 86GT...

They're level 35... For Spa with the right car, my Lv28 guy won with a 20+ second gap. Use the 06 NSX w/ mid-range turbo. Start on inters and don't pit when everyone else pits on lap 7.

Sinner, I was using a couple cars that I couldn't believe lost, AND a level 35 driver.

[biggie62]

For the B-Spec seasonals I used a 2J for the longer race and an NSX with high RPM turbo for the shorter one. You sort of have to babysit but it was worth it.

I'm at 200% bonus right now, so that 4mn per race for Spa. Still building up my guys to Lv35 and above.

But anyway Finns, like Biggie said, go with the NSX for Spa. I haven't done the LeMans one yet, which I hear is a bit trickier, but nothing a couple good drivers + 2J can't handle.

B-Spec expires at the end of Jan, so keep that in mind.
There's a very good tutorial-thread in GTP in case you're stuck.
