Thanks!
Le Sarthe was tough despite equipping the Elan with a whopping 16 extra horsepower and nitrous. Even though I had a 6 sec lead at T1 on lap 2, the AI closed the gap by the 2nd chicane. I was able to hold them off until the Mulsanne straight, when 3 cars tried to pass me at the same time. The Zonda actually spun me into the wall going towards Indianapolis, but I was still able to maintain a reasonable gap to the leader until the first of the Ford chicanes, where I cut the grass to take the lead back and win. 👍It looks like the 1000 Miles! races can be won for substantially more points than the current record of 116, based on my testing. Here are the cars I've found that can do the job in the first three races against the lineup I've used before, with the Elan, Fairlady, GTA, Marcos, and Ginetta; I've also listed the points that I infer they would score on S1 tires. I used the fact that the 110S I used before has an apparent A-spec value of 777, meaning the lineup has a value of 917. La Sarthe requires a different lineup because the top speed of the Fairlady is so strong, but I used a lineup before that has an A-spec value 23 points lower and all of the cars below can beat easily.
Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale '63 (134 points) - This thing drives like crap on the flat, medium-speed corners of Cote d'Azur, but it's decent everywhere else and would win all four races in blowouts. The point totals just aren't as impressive as some other cars', though.
Afa Romeo Spider 1600 Duetto '66 (141 points) - I love driving the Duetto and I think it would be really cool to win the series in. But like the GSS, it's hard to say no to more points, which is what other cars offer.
Mitsubishi Galant GTO MR '70 (143 points with old oil) - This car isn't as fun as the Duetto and is offered fewer points than several others, so it's caught in between. But it would win easily at all four tracks.
Toyota Celica 1600GT (TA22) '70 (146 points with old oil) - It's a shame that it's been used before (albeit against a much slower lineup), because it's fast and pretty enjoyable while getting a fair number of points.
Mazda 110S (L10A) '67 (151 points with old oil) - I've already done this series for 200 points in a detuned 110S, so using the same car for 151 points on S1s is a less appealing option than it ordinarily would be. It's pretty easily fast enough to win everywhere, and is astoundingly fast on the straights because of its low profile. EDIT: I'm an idiot - this car can't be purchased used.
Isuzu 117 Coupe '68 (155 points with old oil) - Another car that's been used before, it would get what I think is the most points possible for a stock car in this series, but it's less appealing for the same reasons as the 110S. It's also noticeably slower than the other five cars and would also be very borderline at Cote d'Azur and Nurburgring, making me hesitant to use it at those tracks.
Now, here's the really fun part. At Opera Paris, the Elan is actually the second-fastest car, behind only the AC 427. Since all of the cars listed above can beat the Elan there with relative ease, this means that they can beat the E-Type, Corvette, and 300SL, which in turn means that, yes, they can win a 200-point race in stock form
at this track assuming that the other two cars in the lineup don't drag down the points too much.
I'm just not sure which car(s) to use. I would love to use the Duetto, but I just don't think I can turn down the extra 10 points from the Mazda or 14 from the Isuzu. I may try to find a 200-point lineup at Opera to beat with the Duetto, but it might be tricky to find one that includes not only the three fast cars but also two other cars that combine for sufficiently high points. So my strategy will probably be to do Nurburgring and Azur for 151 points in the 110S, do La Sarthe for 132 in the Isuzu (remember that the preferred lineup for that track gives fewer points), and do Opera for 200 in the Duetto, with the Mazda or Isuzu being my backups there in case I can't find a sufficiently strong lineup.
It's unfortunate, by the way, that there are so few options for higher points than the Isuzu. Basically, there's the Honda 1300S with old oil for 8 more points, but it's FWD and ends up being too slow; and then there's a huge gap to the Silvia and Bluebird (both old oil) and BLRA (new), all of which would get 40-50 more points than the Isuzu but are too underpowered and are simply outclassed by this set of opponents.

Pan Euro Championship- all races
Car: '98 Lotus Espirit GT with the following parts:
oil change
rigidity refresher
racing brakes
racing chip
triple plate clutch
racing flywheel
Once the car is set up, preview the Le Sarthe round and scroll to the 4th or 5th grid which should contain the following cars (not necessarily in this order) :
1. '94 Griffith 500
2. '03 BMW M3 CSL
3. '99 Lotus Motorsports Elise
4. '05 BMW M5
5. '02 TVR Tamora
Even with the presence of the Elise, this series can be swept for 200 points per race without the use of nitrous or dirty driving. 👍 Qualifying is only required for Grand Valley and Cote D' Azur. For Grand Valley and Le Sarthe, equip the racing chip which gives you 11 extra horsepower without dropping A-spec points. On the second lap of the Le Sarthe round, the Elise and Griffith should spin out at least once, giving you the lead.

Very nifty find, RVDNuT374. The Pan-Euro Championship is one of my very favorite series for several reasons. I assume you are using PAL, as I could not duplicate your find on NTSC.
After researching and checking my notes, I mused that NTSC grid #1 after a similar preview also offers interesting 200 A-spec possibilities:
TVR Tamora '02
Lotus Motor Sport Elise '99
TVR Cerbera Speed Six '97
Aston Martin V8 Vantage '99
BMW M5 '05
I plan to put this to the test very soon, and will report a result.

I am using NTSC, giving that I live on the East Coast of the US. I accidentally omitted that the Espirit I chose was Ruby Metallic in color. It appears that because the Elise is so heavily modified compared to the other AI, any lineup with it present will automatically give 200 A-spec points.

Ah! I was luckily able to purchase the Ruby Metallic Lotus Esprit GT '98 and indeed found your specified grid at the 4th spot after a preview of the Sarthe round.
After a console reset, I again scrolled through the 3rd grid after a preview, then jumped from the Lotus into my BMW M5 and went back to the Pan-Euro and inherited that vulnerable grid #4 with (in order) the BMW M5 '05, BMW M3 CSL '03, Lotus Motor Sport Elise '99, TVR Tamora '02 and TVR Griffith 500 '94.
Starting from the back at La Sarthe, I was able to cleanly and without nitrous overtake everything but the Elise, who dutifully spun out several times, eventually crossing the finish line backwards! No blocking was required either, so this is just the superior grid for 200 A-spec at the great Pan-Euro series.
Thanks again for your serendipitous find and post, RVDNuT374.
My black oil M5 had 466 hp on the sell screen, carried 185 kg ballast and S2/S3 boots. I will post a complete setup at GTVault.

It's nice to see both of you around. 👍 Yes, you just have to plug away until you get to number 34. Unfortunately, I discovered only about two months ago that contrary to what I had believed, not every car can access it. I tried getting to it in the used Isuzu 117 because that was what would give me the most points at Cote d'Azur and Nurburgring, but it simply never appears, at least not on the "main line."
By the way, just before I returned to college after the summer break, I won the Cote d'Azur race for some large number of points (160? 180?) using the Mazda 110S L10A under the rules of the stock car thread against a strong lineup that included the Corvette and Jaguar. It was a somewhat challenging race, but I didn't get a chance to write it up before I had to get on a plane. I have everything written down, though, and I'll post it when I go back home for the holidays.

Regarding the "1000 miles!" lineup of: Elan, Fairlady, GTA, Marcos and Ginetta.
If you can recall exactly with which car(s) (and colors) you were able to access the subject lineup, then we could also access that same lineup with any car and color by means of:
1) Using one of your known cars, plug away through the main line until reaching lineup number 33.
2) Returning to Garage and switching to desired car.
3) Return to "1000 miles!", and enter number 34.

Oh, right! I don't know how I forgot about that method. 
I got to the magic lineup with a white Mazda 110S L10A, although there are certainly many others that can get there as well (such as, apparently, a red Guilia Sprint Speciale).

Thanks, Austin343 and GTsail290 for the tips. Just this morning I found the "magic lineup" with a red Toyota 2000GT '67 in the 27th lineup in its main line:
A) Lotus Elan S1 '62
B) Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA 1600 '65
C) Nissan Fairlady 2000 (SR311) '68
D) Ginetta G4 '64
E) Mini Marcos GT '70
I subsequently found the following data for the black oil Mitsubishi Galant GTO MR '70 versus this grid:
145 A-spec points @ 113 hp / S1 tires / 0 ballast
200 A-spec points @ 123 hp / N1 tires / 183 kg ballast
I briefly tested the latter setup for tire wear, top speed and laptimes at the Nurburgring, but didn't find it overly encouraging for a clean race.
Respectfully submitted,

There's a lot of discussion (albeit about three years old) in this thread about whether you can complete 1000 miles as a championship for 200 points each race.
Having now done the series I believe that a used Isuzu 117 Coupe '68 as mentioned in my La Sarthe II post above should be able to win all the races with the set up and AI (PAL) line up I've posted (gearbox adjustments notwithstanding), as It can win at Le Sarthe, which IMO is the hardest race, so it should be able to win the others as well.
I found when in 200 point form when compared to the 200 point Skyline BLRA '62 I've also used, the Isuzu 117 had a higher top speed (Isuzu 198kph (stock, used oil) vs BLRA 188kph (new, with NA1) at La Sarthe) and had better tyre life (it weighs 300kg less in stock form). Their PW ratio's also favour the 117, so it probably has better acceleration as well.
The BLRA however is a bit more stable (a chassis refresh would prob help the Isuzu here, I didn't do one), and IMO can carry a higher corner velocity. (145kph for Isuzu through the first two (right / left) Porsche Curves vs an easier flat out 155kph for the BLRA)
So if I ever decide to re-do this championship, I'll try it as a championship in a Used Isuzu 117 Coupe, with a set up and AI line up as per the above post.

Those 200-point races you did cleanly in 1000 Miles! are very impressive. 👍 But I think you're wrong about winning the whole championship against a single lineup in the Isuzu. I don't have my PS2 anymore, so I can't confirm, but Opera Paris is going to be three hours of hell on wheels, and suspect it's impossible to win it. The Elan is fast at Opera, and based on my experience winning the race in the 110S, passing it cleanly is completely impossible once its tires have warmed up. (The only passing points are after the long straight, but it pulls a huge gap on you there and you're too far back to make an attempt.) Moreover, the used Isuzu is quite a bit slower than the new Mazda and it's a worse fit for Opera. Cote d'Azur might not be winnable, either. It's a nice idea, and I wish the championship could be done cleanly for 200 points with the same car and lineup, but I don't think even someone with superhuman driving skills like you could pull it off.

Glad to get some input, from someone who's posts/discussions I've been looking at a lot when doing this, I guess now I'll have to re-try it, to make it official or not.
I know the Isuzu is not as good a fit as the BLRA, and I'm sure the Mazda too (which I've only tried at Sarthe, while trying to find a winnable car when I realized the BLRA was not going to cut it) for the tighter tracks, but there's more margin in them IMO to use a slower car than at the Nurb or Sarthe.
As you can see, I did Opera in the BLRA, and you don't have to pass the Elan if you can overtook it while it's is the pits. (this is what I did in the BLRA) and then won by 42 seconds. It'll take me some time, but I'll post my findings win or lose.

Ok, I've re run the 1000 miles championship with the Isuzu 117, Austin343's suspicion that the Lotus Elan would prove to be to quick for the 117 at Opera was well founded, it won that race by over a minute.
Here's a break down race by race.
Car: A Used Isuzu 117 Coupe mostly the same as my setup in post #257.
Nurburgring - MOV 11.74 Seconds. I only overtook the Elan with a lap to go, and my total race time with the Skyline BLRA was about 30 seconds quicker, so its a better choice here. Quickest Lap: 8:18.000 approx
Opera Paris - MOL 1:12.456. The Lotus was just too quick here, and the fact that it seemed to deal with the lapped traffic pretty efficiently didn't help. My race time was about 1:45.000 slower than the BLRA, so its clearly the quicker car here. Quickest Lap: 1:45.634 (noteworthy is that this was my only lap time in the 1:45's)
Cote 'd Azur - MOV 1:40.000. Early on the Lotus & I we're trading lap times, which due to my greater number of stops meant I was worried that I'd lose this race as well. However, the Lotus struggles a lot more with lapped traffic here, especially on cold tyres. After its lone pit stop it stayed stuck behind the Isuzu Bellet & The Alfa Sprint Special for about 10 laps (from memory) meaning a race which I still think I would have narrowly won, ended up with a fairly sizable MOV. However my 117 Coupe race time was still 1 minute slower than the BLRA's. Quickest lap: 2:07.500 from memory.
La Sarthe II - MOV 9.034. Another Narrow victory. As per the previous race at La Sarthe, I knew I'd need to average approx 5:24.000 to make my 3 stop strategy work. My race time was 20 seconds slower than last time, and the Elan was 25 seconds quicker so won by 10 not 55 seconds like last time and only overtook it for good on lap 33. Quickest lap: 5:22.067 (draft assisted).
Conclusion: Post #257 is still probably the best way to tackle this series. The Nissan has more grip and stability, which outweighs its lack of straight line speed making it ultimately quicker everywhere except at La Sarthe. However the 117 sounds nicer (IMO) and it's better straight line speed does make it better for completing clean passes on the AI.
