In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

I have a spare X1 sure, looking for any rare cars or a chrome paint for it though.
Let me fire up the ol' PS3 and see if I have anything that might be of interest.
Ferrari F2007, Mark IV Race Car '67, Minolta Toyota 88C-V Race Car '89 and a few concept cars are probably my rarest ones.
I'll trade you for the F2007, add me on PSN - Legend41.
And yep there are chrome paints out there but they are rare, if you find one I might be willing to part with an X1 for one.

I'll do it right now.
Edit: done.

You might need to restart your game for my name to show up.
Gonna check my paint later. Pretty sure I have yellow if that's any good to you
I'll restart now, Leg-End. On in a minute, I'll ship over the Ferrari to you.
Thanks, Leg-End - Suzuka 1000km here I come! The Ferrari should be delivered now.
Yep got it, enjoy the beast.
Oh, I will!
Can you run out of petrol?
I know if you let it go right down it limits your speed to a crawl, I don't know about completly running out though.
Ok, because as the X1 hardly wears tires I was awfully close to emptying it before I remembered to pit.
What a beast that car is. I can't handle it for shit yet, I must have been off the track 60-70 times at least on my first 37 laps here. Best lap of 1:17 on Suzuka but I haven't been close to having a good lap yet.

It's so much fun, the Gold time at Suzuka in the X Challenge is one of the hardest GT5 challenges ever I think and I am well proud that I have achieved it.
What is the Gold time there? I will never ever do that. I MIGHT have a slight chance at bronze at Monza but the others are a no go I think.
Gold is anything under 2.10 but obviously the first lap is out of the pits too ofcourse.
That is crazy. I could possibly do 2:20 with two consecutive flying laps where I didn't make a single mistake. 2:10 from the pits? Wow.
The first section is truly fantastic though, just sawing at the wheel taking the corners at breakneck speed. The time all comes down to the last chicane though, its tough to nail that twice consecutively.
Finally got a wheelstandpro for my driving force gt today. Lovely piece of kit it makes a difference being to sit back on the couch while playing
You can do 1:34 or so easily enough in an F1 2007 in Prologue, the X1 should be much faster than that.
I'm confused now!
Think its 2 laps, Weaste.1 from a pit start.
It's two laps from a pit start. The likes of Leg-End beats the F2007 by half a minute a lap.
3:29 on Nurbürgring is on youtube and I wouldn't bet against it being even faster than that.
any drift fans?
Yep the clock starts as soon as you start moving which is just before the pitline, from there its two flying laps so thinking about it going around twice in just over 2 minutes just highlights how mental that car is.
I was watching a YouTube video of someone doing it. Starting in the pits, he did a 1:05, yet finished at 2:09, so starting from the pits doesn't seem to be too much of a handicap, only losing 1 second in comparison to a flying lap.
Yeah you dont lose much time but it means on the second lap through you have to take the first corner differently as you are carrying more speed, atleast at Suzuka and the Nurburgring anyway.
so, just for my understanding.
In b-spec, you sit there for ages watching a driver go round and round, and get cash for it, and level him up, and then he gets to a certain level and you are allowed 2 drivers, so have to start the whole process of training again for the new driver on the lower levels?
will there be a need for a 3rd driver?

There's not even a need for a 2nd driver as long as you have good cars for the first driver to use and you win plenty of quality cars in b spec along the way. Even the endurance races, where your driver has 0 strength left for 3/4 of the race. Having said that I'm only up to level 25 with him and have only done the first endurance so the rest might require a couple of drivers. But there are ways of easily levelling them up. A fresh driver went to level 6 after winning 1x daytona(sp?) like the wind event. So if I put him in that a bunch of times he'd soon get there
ok,
well i suppose I can just start a race, and then turn back to the TV

I just stick B-Spec on endurance racers when im off to do other stuff, its a an infuriating mode until you get cars that are just overkill though. The fact you cannot fast forward like you used to be able to in the older games sucks too and the only real reason I am bothering with it is I quite fancy getting the platinum trophy for this game.
I have 6 drivers now, all over level 20 with highest being level 31 I think, once you unlock the Endurance races and have an X1 then you can blast the opposition and train new drivers up several levels everytime.

Yes, but it's almost impossible to do that with a pad.
replay of last weeks race will happen next weekend not this weekend due to server issues.
This is also pretty good look at the AI in GT and the shit spewed by game reviewers.
Still got an X1 to trade if anyone wants to make me an offer, looking for an F10 ideally.
490kph people.
Oh, yes! 502kph.
I would love one but cars I have won't interest you probably - 908HDi, Nascar car, Nismo, SLS, 458 Italia and several others, just normal cars you can buy.
I'm feeling charitable, 908HDi will do. Afterall it still leaves me with 3 X1's for myself 
Can you just lend me one? For two-three races I would like to complete. I will return it to you.
*This is assuming that the X1 is the fastest car in the game.
** Am using a McLaren Stealth Model and I'm struggling. It's a Level 24 race.
