i think its in the 3rd lot of races and you can up the power and lighten the car. but there are limitations on some races!

You cant tune in the prologue..

you can unless i imagioned it. theres some races on a points system. you can lighten, make heavy, lower the bhp and increase bhp of the car which will increase and de-crease the points fot he car to be able to compete in certain races. but if you mean tune as in buy after market parts such as turbo, air filter etc etc then no. but the cars are tuneable to a extent!

Well you get money on where you come in the race, aka gold 1000, bronze 500 if thats what you mean? The only thing you can do really is change the tyres, handling, steering response and thats about it i think .. Trying to remember, havent played it for soooo long!
 
Got a PS3 last week.

I bought 6 games too, and I love Gt5 prologue what a great game.
Also Racedriver Grid is out today that looks good! I aint played online yet but ill add you Adam!

No you're right mate. Once you complete all races in classes c - a (i.e. get a 3rd or better) you unlock the S class. That opens up the performance points system and quick tune option where you can alter bhp, weight, gear ratios and things like damper / spring rate etc too.

Not quite the full on tuning of norm in GT but a fair amount for a preview GT game. It makes the online races where you have points restrictions a bit more interesting. It certainly makes a difference as to how well you do in races if you have the car set up for cornering over straight line speed etc / acceleration over top end and so on dependant on the track in question.

Oh, and of course the penalty levels come into play too, soon stops you cutting corners or ramming stuff even if by accident :D

You should have another crack mate, it's a great laugh racing in some of the front wheel drive cars once you increase the bhp etc.

I had a few good races online last night, but sadly there are still some out there who favour stupid lines and using you as a brake at every corner, rather than trying to race properly !

I've just done S-10.

Keep in mind I am using:

G25 wheel with clutch and H-pattern box.
Simulation mode in wheel settings.
Pro physics.
No traction control..etc

Just S-7 to go now!
