SL65 AMG FAN
Just done this for the 3rd time, this time using a Jaguar XKR-R Performance (that's the model you can buy new), in grey with some rather nice split rims on it, that I had sitting around the garage (as you do). It's a car I usually overlook, but this series was a doddle in it.
I gave it a stage 2 weight reduction and a gearbox, had a race exhaust (which I later took off), and this gave me 139-154 A-spec points. I had a bit of trouble in the last race, but I'd already won the championship, so I wasn't really concentrating.
But I still got a green E-type, goddammit! Where are all the nice red ones?

Any advice?
I did the Sarthe II endurance but lost by 10 seconds.
I used it in the 88C-V.
can anyone please post a setup?
One last thing.
How the hell do you get the super-hards to last for 7 laps?
I've tried everything but the B-Spec driver keeps on pitting in on lap 6 and the leading Nissan R92CP keeps pitting in on lap 7.
Any help on that? Thanks.

A-spec till you get the lead then B-spec. If your place is taken due to B-spec driver ignorance A-spec it again.. Works for me since my B-spec sucks..

I've got a weird problem when i race the car in A-Spec.meister_danA-spec till you get the lead then B-spec. If your place is taken due to B-spec driver ignorance A-spec it again.. Works for me since my B-spec sucks..
I've done about 7880 miles in the 88-CV.
i bought the body rigidity refresher plan the one which costs 50,000
when the car had done 3667 miles.
But the car keeps straying side to side on the straight even if you tap left or right very gentley.
I used I H8 GWB's setting but b-spec kept crashing every lap!

Thats somethng I can't do, since it stays in the pits if you use A-Spec at all during a race, even if you changeto B-Spec, the car sits in the pits, I'd be asleep. Notonly that but I can't do the LeSarth enduro's cos my B-Spec screws up on the straights, the straightsmeister_danA-spec till you get the lead then B-spec.

. So I'm left without the chance of getting the Bentley.

What car are you using?
I could give you 3 setups for Toyota 88C-V, Sauber Mercedes C9 and the Nissan R89C.
I'm going to try the race tommorow.
My cousin set-up the car with the setting i gave him.
He said he B-speced the whole race and told me that his first Mulsanne straight screw up was on his 3rd hour of the race

jamaicanhow can i get unlimited money? that's all i wantand probably all my missions past. i've already tried the second special conditions where you win the car and sell it but that's not enough, i want moreee...
is a gameshark the only way to get this?
Sorry, a gameshark/xport/sharkport/maxdrive is the only way to get the 999 billion credits.
Go figure.
However, I do know a nice way to make some money.
Get yourself an itialian car and do the Italiano Cup in the Euro League. It's only a 3 race event with 2 laps per a race. 👍
The prize car is an Alfa 155 touring car, which can be used for the DTM Championship in the Euro hall.
That series (the DTM series) is a bit longer, 5 races, but the prize car is a CLK-GTR worth 700,000 Cr.
Definately an awesome money making technique.
Now on a different subject...
I would like to hear what you all think of the McLaren F1 GTR.
For some reason I've found that many people don't really like it for one reason or another and I was wondering if any of you happen to like as much as I do?

You need that refresher plan again.
Here's some good info:

Kent, the main reason that I don't use the McLaren is that it never seems the right choice. Which races have you used it for (successfully, obviously...)?

Actually, I haven't used it for much of anything in GT mode.
Due to a reasons that would take much longer than needed to explain, I haven't had a racecar in my garage since long ago.
However, I do use the McLaren in arcade mode.
Mostly for hotlaps, but on occassion I run a longer race with AI opponents.
Truth be told, I was only interested in bringing that up because the McLaren had been the focus of my most recent GT efforts.
I've been running the Arc McLaren for a while now and after seeing how many, or should I say- how few, people use the McLaren I thought it would be a good topic for discussion.
Please feel free to tell me what you think of it on any level.
Even if that means it explaining why you think it doesn't match up to competition very well. 👍
I can understand that statement too.
Just setting up several OLR races has shown me that the McLaren is a "unique" racecar.
btw, Nacho,

which days do the peugeot 205 t16 appear in the used car lot in the PAL version? i've been looking for a road one for ages. i check the used car lot every couple of days to see if there's an update, but i've had no luck.

Nitro, the white 205 T16 appears in wk52 (days 358-364), and the grey one in week 82 (568-574) and every 100wks/700 days after that.
Incidentally I got this information from Famine's Fabulous Used Car Cycle list, which is in the thread directly below this one! (Bet ya feel stoopid now, huh?)
All praise to Famine and his great tool!!!

I like your sig. Don't change it!!!
I bought an Audi R8, used it to beat 24hrs of Nurburgring among other things. After that endurance the car is uncontrollable at speed. Did I mess something up in the game or did I get too angry at the controller one too many times and killed the controller? All other cars seem fine though. Makes no sense. Help please.

You've put too many miles on the car.
The only way to correct this is to purchase the "rigidity re-fresher" in the "Others" category of the audi tuning area.
Buy that refresher and your car should be back to normal. However, if you put tons of miles on it again you will go back to the uncontrollable state and I don't think you can buy the refresher twice.
Sooo...
Buy the refresher, but try not to use the car too much after that if you wish to keep it for the long haul.
One thing to keep in mind though...
Winning the 24 hour Sarthe enduro will give you the R8 as a prize car. 👍
(the Sarthe II enduro will give you the bentley speed 8)
Good luck.
hEY People,
Got a question, been looking all ova for the answer, looked all over i-net and the faq sites, havent found it so really hope sum of yall can help me out.
I'm currently driving the nur 24hrs, So far i have driven 12hrs in A-spec and driving it on 179 a spec points.
The thing is I read that for those who manage to finish the race in A-spec there is a nice bonus. However i dont know what this extra is.
Now for my question, if i switch to b-spec now, and let that run for example 11 hours, and then race the last hour in A-spec does it still count. Do I get that extra price?
I really hope some1 can help me out.
for those who reply, thnx! 👍

Hello and welcome to the GTP.
Regarding your questions...
I've never heard of an extra prize that goes with any race in the game (except prize cars maybe but I don't think of those as "extra").
Also, since there is no extra prize switching to B-spec will not make a difference.
However, if you do switch to b-spec you will not get any A-spec points.
Also, I'm thinking about this bonus idea...
I'm almost 100% sure there is no bonus for doing a race all the way through in A-spec.
However, I'm sure you will get prize money for winning the race (regardless of what "spec" you raced in) and you will also get a prize car (regardless of spec as well).
So, sorry to say it, but there is no bonus for doing a race in A-spec only.
But atleast you will still get the prize money and the prize car. 👍
Hope that helps (even though it is probably too late to actually help).
And once again... Welcome to the GTP.
Hey thnx for your reply,
Tho what u said is quite true, it indeed is too late, which is also a good thing
Because by now i have finished 20 hours, and only need to go another 4.. So by tomorrow we'll see how and what on that extra thing or not. I'll keep u guys posted.
Ow, and the race actually is quite hard, after these 20 hrs I only have a 1 lap lead, but thas exactly what keeps u awake rite.
