Hey Guys,

I finally got my IA license last night ( Those Complex String tests were tough). Now I need a good car to take me to the next level. I noticed that many of the races on the high amatuer and professional level have real race cars (C5R, Denso Supra, Calsonic Skyline, Rally Cars, etc.) The fastest cars I have are a 600 hp Mustang SVT and the RX-8. The Mustang is not the best handling car on the twisties and the RX-8 though upgraded to just under 400 hp doesn't have the legs on the race cars. I have aboout 180,000. Gold cups on much of the amatuer races. Should I just keep racing till I get the 1,000,000 or so to buy a car or is there an easier way to progress? What about the NISMO GT-R? The races that I can win pay about 10,000-25,000. At that rate I will be driving for a month.

Any Secrets,
Steve
 
Win the amateur European Championships - you'll have a 25% chance of getting the Gillet Vertigo - then upgrade it to the max and you'll have an awesome car.

This was the car that I ran the super speedway enduro in, and after 100 laps I was 20 laps ahead!

BTW - the car is a blast to drive - it's so fast and twitchy that you've gotta be gentle on the gas otherwise it's spin city!

Have fun.
 
go to GT3 Times.com. there is a way to get exactly which car you want out of a series race, and you will find it in this site along with alot of other valueable info.
another thing you may want to try is...
by a Lancer Evolution VII and max it out (if you can't afford everything, just go for the max power and the max transmission). you can win the Super Speedway Enduro with this. by winning this race you will get a race car (Corvette C5R, Tickford Falcon, F090/s or Clio Sport Race Car) and $100,000. i did this race 4 times and got all 4 cars. with the F090/s you can win any race that you want. :D :rolleyes:
 
yeah, come to think of it, i did win the Super Speedway Enduro for the first time in my maxed-out Viper GTS (rediculously fast car) :eek:
 
better idea. buy the Evo VI RS, full mod it, and win all rally races. with all golds in rally, you get the 'scudo. stage 4 turbo it, then stalk the super speedway 150 mi.

Also you can do that with your GT-R V Spec as well but with a bit of tough handling though... Errr BTW did you get your R License yet ??
 
Another way is to pick up a Mercedes CLK 55 and win the Amateur Silver Arrow series, then take the CLK Touring Car you win from that, change the oil and drop in a Stage 1 Engine Tune, and use it to clean out the DTC. If you can score either an Astra Touring Car or a RUF 3400S, you should be okay. The two touring cars are quite capable and should last you for a while, and the RUF can be quite a monster even at Profesional level once you get used to it.

Hey, I just noticed that post. Where exactly do I go to learn how to get the specific car I want? Can you give me a link? Thanks.
