I was lookin through my garage today and I saw my Tickford Falcon. I realized I had never raced against it before. What other cars are never raced against throughout the game? I'll make a list and update this post when more cars are added. Correct me if I am wrong with any of the cars on this list.

Tickford Falcon XR8
Jaguar XJ220 Road Version
Toyota GT-one Road Version
Nissan R390 GT1 Road Version
Escudo
Dodge Viper Concept
All Acura's except RSX
Lancia Delta
Spoon S2000
Mügen S2000
 
I've definetly raced against the CLK touring car and I seem to remember racing the Escudo and the Tickford some time long ago.
 
Really? It's hard to imagine the computer controlling an escudo. If someone can confirm this, ill delete it. (Same with the others)
 
I think I met the Escudo at the test course. Probably Like the wind. Not sure though.
 
I entered Like The Wind 5 times and I saw no Escudo. Hmph.
 
Well I might be mistaking.
 
Nope, I've never heard of an Escudo at Like The Wind. The fastest car I've seen there is a Dodge Viper.
 
If you own a S liscence it's an EASY 787b...
I don't remember racing a escudo ever, but I'm only 87% through...

It could be in some turbo championship perhaps?
 
I've never seen the Escudo at any race in the field, including rally and Test Course. I have come across the Tickford in several Arcade races, but I don't remember seeing it in Simulation mode.
 
you never race against the 350Z or RX-8 i belive
 
Im pretty sure I raced against the X540 car at Super Speedway Endurance, but I cant be sure as I havent raced there in months.

Never raced against an Escudo, but it would be a pretty interesting race, 2 Escudos at Trial Mountain...

You'll see the 350Z in the Polophony Digital cup.
The TOM X540 Chaser appears in the SuperSpeedway 150mile endurance
 
Ummm, I've never seen a Jaguar XJ220 road car race at all, has anyone else noticed this? If you have raced against it, what race?
 
Speaking of which, you never race against:
TVR Speed 12
TS020 GT-One Road Car
R390 GT1 Road Car
Dodge Viper GTS-R Concept

I've not seen any Acura AI car either - but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

I'm sure I've seen one or other of the Zondas in the Euro challenge in amateur league.

Also the ZZII runs in the Dream car cup in both amateur and Professional from time to time.
 
Spook. I've never seen either... I recall doing the Dream Car cups a lot too...

Strangely enough, if the ZZII is there, it tends to bring up the rear of the field due to awful pit strategies! :dopey: I seem to remember the Test course race is the only one it really challenges in.
 
For the record the ZZII almost always wins for me because it doesn't pit while everything in front of it but me does. Also, The V8 Vantage and the Vanquish both frequent the Professional British GT cup.

The cars are all right except the speed twelve, and the Aston Martins. I'm 100% sure the speed 12 is in like the wind.

I checked and you're correct. 👍
 
Re-re-edited...

I've never, ever seen the AI drive a Speed 12 - in fact when the AI drives mine around before a PD Cup race, it crashes it.
 
Do you have the PAL version? Maybe it's not in it. This thread is going to get complicated.

I'm with you on the Acura thing there. But...all 3 of the RUFs have been spotted at one time or another in the SuperSpeedway enduro. (I ran this race a lot in many cars, including the Mini, while I was trying to win the Tickford and Clio Sport racecar, not 'cos enjoy the monontony of going round and round that oval 100 times!)

Sorry to bugger up your list again!

I also found the Zonda C12S can be present in the Pro-league MR spot races and the Zonda C12 can be seen in the Pro-league NA Cup spot races.
 
Even the RGT?

Ah nuts to it... :D

I'm afraid so. Ran a race with both CTR2 and RGT in it. CTR2 is never any competition since it pits every 5 or 6 laps, but RGT is quicker and will stretch to 9 or 10 laps before pitting. Couldn't keep up with that even on a 34 lap pit strategy in my little black 178HP Mini!
 
Oh yeah what about the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Rally Car? (whew)

Its not in the rally series, is it?
 
I Have raced against the Lupo cup car in the Beginer FWD races many times.
 
I raced against the Speed 12 in my Speed 12 in the like the wind race, it's there just enter a few times till you see it. The Ruf's are in the Boxer xups as well
