    From what I've read that is thing thing to do. The problem I'm having is when I hit the 2J, I slow myself down while increasing it's speed. I'll try again later on this evening.

    A hit from behind is pointless. You have to hit its rear side. Just as IRL when driving a gokart ;)

    The right turn down at the Casino is ideal for this. After that he escapes.

    If you come accross the RS200 rally car... I believe its about the same value. I have seen it twice, and each time I only had 500k credits :(

    (Or any of the other group b competition cars for that matter)

    Have any of you guys made any racetracks? I've been messing around with that tonight and its fun. Its a little tricky coming up with something good because its random but I've gotten a few good ones.

    Yep I have it, but I tested sending it to the wrong alt (one I had deleted) so I have to wait until tomorrow to send it to ya. :)

    I've made a couple go kart tracks with my nephews that were pretty fun, but that's about it for now.

    Just did the Nordschleife in 5:49 with the X10. And that still wasn't flat out. Over 450 klicks on the long straight. My hands got really tired from holding the bouncing steering wheel under control.

    I love this car. Made mince meat out of the Le Mans cars in GT All stars series.

    I haven' tried it with the Formula GT car yet on soft tires... but in GT4, I managed a 5:05 with medium race tires, and two mistakes worth 5+ seconds :)

    The trick is to soften the suspension, and give it less aggressive camber and toe settings. That track is quite bumpy ;)

    I need a sport truck if anyone has one. I saw a dodge ram in the used car section when I started the game and have not seen a truck since.

    There is an online dealership? I'll have to look for that. Is it part of the used cars section?

    Gawd the k car race was such a joke. I spent 200k+ tuning up some micro truck 'midget' ... After all the tuning, I got it 525kg + soft tires + 100 hp engine, and a customizable gearbox... it was faster than the rest. Ugly, stupid, and pointless.

    I chose to mod up an early Miata to get it under 900 kg and 220 hp. That was fun!

    ~I'm of the opinion that I got every car myself~ which is needed for competition... the other cars for fun, I'm happy to trade... oh, and for somebody who just starts out like James. If I was trading for this car and that, maybe I would have 20,000,000 credits, and the trophy associated with that and 'penniless' already; but I wouldn't have nearly as much fun. There are a few cars which I would like to have which are prohibitively expensive; the rest you just have to time right in the used car lot. When I run out of those; then I'll eat up the new car dealerships :)

    I finally beat the Historic series in A/B-spec mode with the Mark IV, an oil change does wonders. I'm currently working on advancing my B-Spec drivers but having trouble with the ALL STARS Series. I'm Currently using the 2009 Pagani Zonda R or Mazda Furai for that series but ol' B-Spec Bob gets tried & spins out or just goofs into a wall.

    I think I used the Minolta for those and had very little trouble.

    I skipped the All Star Championship and moved on until I beat the "Like the Wind" events using the Mazda Furai. Then I used the Minolta prize car to beat the B-spec "Like the Wind" which awards you the Toyota 7. Then I went back to the All Star Championship with the Minolta.
