I just realized you are talking about endurance races. That won't work for endurance races. Sorry.

You can't choose. Don't let anyone tell you any differently.

 

[Pupik]

In short, No. It's the luck of the draw.

If your dead-set on an F1 car, my suggestion is to do all the enduros before you enter the Professional races, because even if don't win any formula cars, you win an F094/H for completing all the endurance races. Not to mention, you lessen your chances of winning any "duplicate" cars you've already won before.

Or, you could win nearly every prize car in Professional or Amateur mode by re-racing and using the save-and-reload trick. This way, the prizes for winning enduros won't bother you as much.

If you have a decent normal un modified car and the proper liscens, then you can do the Professional league Polyphony Digital Cup championship. Win at least 7 of the races and then save your game on race 9 and do the load reload trick to get a F094/s.

 

[SnowbordrWRX]

That's the one thing I can't stand about the enduros. I've probably spent 8 hours or so completing about 4 or them (not all at once though) and didn't get an F1 car! The only one I've gotten is through using the rubber band trick a couple of times because the first time I finished the Speedway Enduro (legitimately) I didn't get one. I hope in GT4 you can either pick or all the enduro prize cars are f1's!

... or let's hope GT4 won't award a car that is already in your garage.

You get one when you win Formula GT Championship, another one when you finish Professional mode, a third one when you finish the Endurance mode, a fourth one when you finish the Gran Turismo mode and a fifth one when you reach 100%

Meanwhile, you have 50% of chances to get one when you win :
- Laguna Seca 200
- Mistral Race

And you have 25% of chances to get one when you win :
- Dream Car Championship
- PD Cup
- Grand Valley 300
- Seattle 100
- Rome 2 hours
- Trial Mountain 2 hours
- SS Route 11 Endurance
- Roadster Endurance
- Super Speedway 150

You'll end up with so many of them in your garage and having driven them so long that you'll just dream you drive your Trueno again.

Agreed on.

What if you want more than one of that car? I think prize cars in GT4 will go back to the GT norm and each series will offer a different set of prize cars. The reason GT3 had the same prizes over differnt series was because there wern't enough cars for each series to give a different set.

Don't take this wrong, but isn't that was saving set-ups is for? I know it's inconvenient and I wish I had at least 3 Suburu rally Prototypes, but...

Except that in GT3, the more you drive a car, the more it ages and, eventually, the worse it performs...

 

[Dave A]

And you win alot of prize cars in different colours, so if you want all the colours for a certain car or if the one you get is in a colour you don't like ect ect.

that's why I clone all the cars that can't be re-won the instant i get them

(trade section, and buy it from the save that you're playing)
...expensive though

 

[Dave A]

Unfortunatley I can't do that, just the one card you see.

 

[Famine]

You can duplicate cars on one card easily.

Only if you save the game!

Ok, GT3 School is open...

How do we do this with only one card?

Cheers,

MasterGT

 

[Dave A]

I think I can guess, never wanted to try it though, you put the card in slot 1 and let it load that, then once loaded you put it into slot 2 and let that load, am I right?

 

[Famine]

Simulation/GT Mode -> Home Garage -> Trade -> Memory Card 1 -> Select Car -> Buy Car

In other words, you can pull a car from your garage on memory card one and buy it for your garage on memory card one. No swapping needed.

And you have to save the game to progress, or you lose your game and start over again.

 

[milefile]

I want to hear this, too.

I never knew that, thanks Famine.

 

[Boundary Layer]

hrm, i thought the cloning trick was more widely known than this, otherwise i would have explained how to do it on a single card in more detail.

anyways, Famine got it correct, so its all good 👍

The car indeed ages, but it gets better for the first 300 km (more power, more torque...).
Then everything goes down (less power, less torque...) until the car reaches about 1000 km. Then the mileage doesn't seem to have any more effect on the performance.

Ok, this is what I meant...

If you play the game by completing required material, you must save the game to advance, adding to car milage.

If you are doing competitions or doing speed records for which all you really need are race saves, then you don't have to add to milage on a good car. Just save your replay and reload the game.

Just don't mix the two uses of the good cars and you won't degrade them. This is another good reason to have more than one copy of the same car. You just have to remember which one is which.

Cheers,

This might not be very helpful but this is what I did to obtain the F-1 car,I kept racing the Super Speedway Endurance until I got that darned thing.Took me about 4 tries before I finally got it.

 

[Pupik]

I still stick to racing all the enduros before the Professional races. You're garuanteed an F094/H (the 2nd-best F1 car) by winning all the enduro races, and this way you're not as likely to win "duplicate" prize cars for the all the work you've done.

Of course, I'm assuming you'll go back to the Professional section and do the save-reload trick to win anything you couldn't win in the enduro section.

Look at it this way; it only takes 75 minutes or so to do the Seattle Enduro, that's quicker than the 3-4 hours it can take to win your average Pro 15-lap, 10-race series.

What is GT mode I forgot.

 

[Famine]

GT Mode (or Simulation Mode) is when you buy cars, modify them and race them.

Do you actually OWN this game, or do you nip down the shops to play it?
