There are a couple ways of handling the situation:
1. Drive a Chaparral 2J yourself.
2. Go for another lineup that doesn't include the 2J.
3. Choose a lineup that has the 2J starting in 4th or 5th.
4. Qualify.
Choose a lineup with the 2J in 4th or 5th when you run it as individual races, not as a championship series. Otherwise you may find it's on the pole in the second and subsequent races.
If you qualify you guarantee that the 2J starts in second place, not further down the lineup. However you start in front of it so you can block if necessary. Should you not qualify first, of course, the 2J will. In which case you weren't going to win the race anyway; the AI is notoriously bad at qualifying and if it outqualifies you then it's going to wax you in the race.

I haven't tried this kind of thriftiness. I don't mind spending credits - it's so easy to get so many of them in this game, but my rule is to purchase as few cars as possible. I've found that I can get through the game with only buying 32 cars. My first purchase usually isn't until after I've completed about 35% of the game.

TurboTuner, have you checked out Famine's 1st of June Society thread?
I gave it a shot and it was quite fun!
Good luck with your racing!

Hi! I wanna publicize an old GT4 replay, that I have. A good lap in Nordschleife with a "slow" car. The Alfa Romeo Giulia.
Thanks

I got a question about turbo lag in GT4. I know there's a back and forth discussion about whether or not there is any but for the purposes of my query, let's assume there isn't.
If I were to use a crappy clutch for my modified turbo car on purpose, would the slipping clutch provide a reasonable imitation of a lagging turbo?
What about the heavier flywheels and driveshaft? Does the lower compression in a turbo engine (to compensate for the air that's forced into the chambers) translate into a less responsive engine regardless of the turbine?

Well there isn't any lag in GT4 anyways.
I don't think using a stock clutch with high powered car will cause any slip in GT4, so no.
GT4 doesn't go into great depth with the engine tuning, and I've noticed any loss of response with a turbo car vs a N/A one. And if it did model a less responsive engine, then a bigger turbine would require a lower CR, and thus less response.
You could get response back by increasing the internal strength and the CR, but that is WAY beyond GT4.

Does anyone know if there is a list somewhere of the cars which are eligible to enter the European Hall; Euro Hot Hatch League races?

I believe that's just about the only GT4 list which hasn't been compiled yet. Which is kind of curious, since it's probably the series with the least obvious "eligible entries" list; I'm surprised the question hasn't come up and been answered ages ago.

Not the first time there have been bugs like that, GT2 had one of those as well with there early copies. I take it GT4 is the same way?As BobK says, not everyone experiences the Mission One bug, but sadly some do.
One of my friends ran into this bug and therefore his game would not show 100% complete even though he finished all the races.
Good luck with your GT career,

I'v done a search on "Racing only Muscle cars" and it led me to the first thread -->GT4 General Discussion and Questions, am willing to take this question to another thread. Now I know there is a lot of debate weather or not it is consider a Muscle car, I don't really have a problem but for my needs I'm thinking all muscle baby, all the way to the finish line, I'm not looking for a debate I'm looking for the best FF FR MR RR 4WD "early 70's road cars only"!!

It hit me in GT3. Never experienced it in GT4, but I did the missions out of order, so the bug kind of dissuaded me from finishing.

I'm not sure what you question actually is, but proper muscle cars were FR only.
Are you far enough along in your game to know if you were hit by the bug or not? As I've maintained for some time, just because you didn't do the missions in order doesn't automatically mean you can't reach 100%.
I had started a game by deliberately doing missions 2 through 9 before mission 1. Although I didn't finish the game, I did carefully chart the progress and I was on track to reach 100% not 99.8%.
