Thanks for the good tips
I think its a good car to start out in the D-series, and to keep around in the garage for going back and taking on corners.

As for game freezes, it can be random and there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it. Sometimes I've noticed it when I hit select to go to Autolog during that day when there were problems staying logged on. But I had been backing up my file regularly just in-case. As long as the game does not freeze when you see the saving icon, you should be okay to restart without issue.

I've added a video for the Proving Grounds trophy since I had several questions for those wanting to eventually play the game. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Can you PM me any tips on the car I just bought? I also bought another car called BMW M3 E 46 car.

I also missed the proving ground trophy again.I think it's the difficulty is causing the trophy to be glitched or is it impossible.

Pick any car for any event that allows it. If the opponents are faster than you, upgrade it.
Remember that if you make your car faster/stronger, the opponents will be faster/stronger. It's actually easier to use a slower car.

I used the BMW M3 E46 a lot actually, but I settled on just having a few chasing and engine upgrades to prevent a death rally on the track. Remember you can also experiment with purchasing any upgrades you want to buy and try out as they are all fully-refundable.

Difficulty setting will not matter for Proving Grounds and I have confirmed that. I dropped it down to medium in the video since most players are likely to have medium or easy after the tutorial.

Are you just not winning the race? If you are having trouble finishing in 1st, you can manually set the setting to easy after the tutorial laps or in the options menu before you choose career mode when you start-up a new save game.

Okay so this game is suppose to be a driving simulator. I use to be pretty bad at this game myself. My advice is to really utilize the arrows on the screen.

If its green you are holding down R2.
If it turns yellow I usually release R2, not hit brake.
Red means red. Hold down L2 until it changes to yellow or green.

Playing on hard can be pretty difficult. Just aim for getting in 3rd place as i just found out that 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place wins count towards trophy.

Avoid Hot laps, elimination, and drift until the end. Drift is extremely hard to figure out and takes quite a while to get the hang of it.

If your not trying to go for trophies, then dont play the game on hard.
Maybe play it on easy...
switch to medium when you start getting lots of wins...
then switch to hard when you get lots of wins on medium

Im posting this in both guides as I dont know if one is "official" so itll just go in both.

Here is a simple way to get the notorious trophy out of the way:

Setup a private match between you and your boosting partner(s) start a time attack race on which ever track you want, change the length to "long". I personally used the Enna P. track as the time attack alotment is 20 minutes. at the end of the 20 mins the match will end and you will go back to the lobby whether you actually raced or not, when I did it we taped down the gas button (R2) just to be safe. if no one exits out the timer will run down automatically and start a new race without you having to do anything. you can leave your PS3 on all night this way and wake up to a new trophy

also I can confirm that the servers will kick you after about an hour if you havent moved at all.

I heard a similar method before but if I read you correct, it sounds like you need to map the gas button and have it continuously pressed overnight? When time attack automatically ends, it would save automatically before you go back to the lobby.
