US vs Japan cup. You will need an A class lisence and a decently fast car. The competition includes a Impreza Rally edition so you will need a Special model (LM) or a well tuned/or race modified car.
You arent guranteed getting the black one though. There is also a green FTO and a viper GTSR as a prize so your chances are 1/4, you may have to do it a few times.

I think, in these country vs country races, it also depends on what car you use as to what car you get. For example in the US vs Japan, as Sagaris said you win either the Viper or the FTO, to win the Viper you need to win the championship with a Japanese car, meaning to win the FTO you need to win the championship with an American car.

Well in this case with these 3 championships (US vs Japan, UK vs Japan and UK vs US) I have to say no it is NOT random.Famine
I have an old copy of GT1 and an old save on my Memory Card so was able to test this straight away. Before I made my post above I did the US vs Japan Championship twice, once with the Viper GTS-R (the one you win in this championship) and once with the FTO (which is also won in this championship) and got the result I expected, I got a FTO for winning with the Viper and a Viper for winning with the FTO. After reading your post I did some more testing, this time I ran the Viper GTS-R through the championship 3 times and then went through it 1 time with a Black Castrol Supra GT LM and as expected won 3 FTOs with the Viper and 1 Viper with the Supra.
From memory it works the same for both the UK vs Japan and UK vs US championships aswell.

Are you PAL or NTSC?
Please know that I have no interest in lying about this! I will do the US vs Japan race with the Viper GTS 20 times or until I win a Viper GTS-R. If I do win a Viper I will come back without hesitation and say "Ok I was wrong", but if I dont win a Viper you are right live4speed, I wont be able to prove it to anyone (particularly if you say you won an FTO with a Japanese car) but if it does turn out this way then 20 times is enough to convince me and knowing it myself is good enough for me.

PAL, I don't think your lying though, I just think you've come to the wrong conclusion. But yeah, if you do turn out to be right, and you've proven it to yourself, what more do you need to prove when you probably don't have the means to prove it to people half way round the world from you in the first place.

Ok, I went and did the race as I said I would and guess what happened? I got a Viper on the first run I did 
I couldnt beleive it, i've thought you could only win the car you wanted with a certain car for these races for about as long as i've played GT1, so this was a complete surprise to me! Anyway, OK, I was wrong, lol, sorry!

Don't worry about it. You just did science.

Oh well. Since this forum seems dead^H^H^H^Hquiescent, I'll tell you all about the RPM instruction. This is a variant of the more usually-cited machine code instruction Read Programmer's Mind. Rather, this is Read Player's Mind. Actually more fiendishly powerful.
It's clearly evident that GT1 makes extensive use of that instruction when awarding prize-cars. The more you want a car, the less likely it is to award it to you. And I think it's capable of handling double-think, so it's difficult to fool. No, you can't just pretend you really want another white Viper with blue stripes, and thereby avoid it. The game can read your true desires more thoroughly than that!

In GT1 the FTO LM was, according to many people's observations, the rarer of the two prizes awarded for winning the USvsJP series. It was a fictional 4WD super-car, somewhat in JGTC style. There were also numerous models of Mitsubishi FTO available for purchase, new and used, at the dealer. They were some of the best front-wheel-drive and lightweight cars.

are you sure thats not the GTO because I have all the prize cars from GT1 and I have seen no FTO LM Edition.

http://www.geocities.com/gt2toxs/gt/diary/2000-11-21.html actually demonstrates that the game has the FTO LM Edition as a prize for the USvsJP series.He's very sure... the GTO LM isn't a prize car, it can be bought from the dealer for 500.000 Cr and if you haven't seen an FTO LM Edition, you simply don't have all the prize cars.

It also demonstrates that there are only 5 manufacturers competing in that event (Subaru, Nissan, Dodge, Chevrolet and Mitsubishi). Since the game apparently tries to maximize the number of manufacturers represented in the field, and Subaru has only one possible entrant (the Impreza Rally Car) that's why that car always appears in the field for that series. (In the North American versions, anyway).
I have heard rumours that the rare prizes were very much rarer in the earlier versions of GT1 in North America. (There were two major versions, software(gameshark)-wise). The ectoplasm green Silvia LM (All-Night I Enduro) was thought to be only a "theoretical" prize, and I believe I heard of someone having a lot of difficulty winning at least the green FTO LM Edition. (I think they did get the black one, however, although with some rareness).

I just didn't know it was in GT1 and GT2.
