It's a little sad knowing that I closing in on 100%. Of course I am going to continue playing afterwards, trying to get all golds and all cars. Just the thought of being at 100% is hard to deal with, especially now that it is close (16.3% left). I figure that since all I have left are pro league races and enduro races, and since school is back in session, it will take me at least 2-3 weeks to finish the game, probably more like a month since I don't play that often. Still, it is in sight and there is nothing stopping me, no race that I cannot win...just a matter of finishing them off now. Anyway, I will miss the climb to 100%, but now I can go back and get all the cars...
 
Dude, you've got a long way to go if you've got Pro and Enduro racing to do. For some reason, I've noticed that it doesn't matter how many laps a race has, it still has the same % value as a race with 2 laps... and most of the Pro races are between 10 and 20 laps... meaning that instead of a race taking 2-5 minutes, it takes 15-30 minutes or even more!

I finished up Enduro today with the Grand Valley enduro, and all I had left after that was the last series in Beginner and Amateur. Finished Amateur first and am now on the last Beginner series. 10 races with 2 laps each and then I'm done!

Acutally, 8 races to go... 16 laps.
 
Forgot to mention, there are more 10 race series in Pro than any other mode... expect to spend two weeks there alone! MOre even!

Six.
 
yeah i got a solid month left i figure...
 
... and all of them have tire wear so you'll be making some pit stops.

Four! Three!
 
Come to think of it, that Formula series took me a good week by itself because there are 10 races and all of them are long... and that last one is an enduro by itself! I'm so glad I did Pro mode first... well, second, after Rally.

Two! ONE!!!
 
:banana: The final race was 3 laps around Grand Valley Speedway to complete the Gran Turismo World Championship series at the end of Beginner mode.

Quadruple Word Score!

Prize car for winning the series: Celica GT-Four (ST205,J)
Prize car for completing Beginner: Lancer Evolution V GSR(J)
Prize car for completing Simulation Mode: F688/S
Prize car for 100% complete: F094/S

I won four cars after 1 race! That was totally cool, it was like hitting the slots and the coins just wouldn't stop falling into the tray or something.

Wow, what a ride.
 
Itll take forever...I need to do the vitz pro and then it will be easy after that...All I got left is the S races and vitz...
 
good louck with the Vitz.
they cheat.
did i say "cheat?"
i meant CHEAT.
 
Strangely I completed Like The Wind before anything else. Beginner & Rally completed. Verge of completeing Amateur. Pro and Enduro I must beat. 60% complete. :(
 
83% complete and only some of pro, rally, 3 enduros, and the time attacks left
 
Great Job Dolby!

The big question is..................What's Next????
 
Honestly, I sat there after that race and looked at the menus, going in and out of modes... home, the dealers and tune shop for about an hour without actually doing any racing at all. I just didn't know what to do!

My intention all along was to begin participating in online events when I finished, so today I began training by lowering my Regulation Time Trial records. I think I'll start working on my license times too.
 
Nice job Dolby. I'm sitting at 98%, and goofing around buying cars and racing them in Arcade mode. It's just that I know that last couple percent is gonna take lotsa time...
 
Only 60% percent but all Endurances are done as of today. Time to begin chipping away at the time trials and the Pro series.
 
IM getting there.... but I still have a bit to go b4 I get to the 100% mark
 
Even the pro All Japan GT Championship takes 5 hours to complete, and GT All Stars takes as much too.

If you've still got the pro-races and the enduros, you've got a LOT of racing left - including TWO 76 lap events at Monaco. It'll take you longer than 2-3 weeks.
 
I'm at 93% and while I can't wait to finally hit 100%, I am just as eager to start out at 0% again. I'll take all my aquired knowledge and experience and make the second time through much more efficient (and competitive). There is no way you can know all there is to know in this game after only one trip through. If you're anything like me, you've probably got more cars in your garage with 0.0 miles than cars you've actually raced. Try the second time through using all new cars. 💡
