european series

swish31 · Jul 21, 2001

okay, i basically won the series race by winning the gold in the first four races.  so now i'm doing that start the fifth race, quit and exit, and resetting until i get the vertigo race car.  i must have reset the game 15 times now, and i still haven't gotten it.  i always get the other cars.  does anyone know, or has anyone gotten it on the first try?  if it ain't possible, i'm just going to accept the other cars and race the series again.

I got it on the 2nd time. I think it sucks.

Yes you can win it again if you sell it.  You can win cars from series races multiple times.

Which car did you use to win these particular races? My 1100 horse Viper gets spanked in the corners and subsequently falls behind. Any recommendations?

i used the mitsubishi lancer VI gsr that has 573 HP.  it was kinda easy w/that car.

I used the Escudo at 1843 HP to win the European.  I tried a fully-modded Viper, but I found that it wasn't all that great.  The car seemed sluggish and unresponsive, couldn't take turns all that fast either.  That's probably why you're getting spanked in the corners.  You should try the Nissan GTR Vspec II R34.  It has almost as much HP as the Viper, but I found it handles much better.  It was much more responsive but I still think it can't corner as well as the Escudo.

I used my viper with 1100 HP an it is extremley easy. The only problem is everytime i win the series i get the stupid cooper mini car! It's happened every single time so far, and it gets me a little upset...
