How do you get a Chaparral 2J?

 

[Machate-man]

You need to buy it
At 15,5xx,xxx GT5 Cr.
Or you can kindly ask someone who has it to share it on their status, that way you could borrow it.

In my opinion, it's not as good as anything else in the 70's race category, and there are better things to spend 15mil on.

For some players, the 2J is the only car that Bob can win the historic race at Monaco (or, as GT calls it, "Cotex Diaper"). This isn't negotiable, either. It's not a scenario wherein the player can win it with enough patience, with proper instructions, with a good tuning setup, or anything else. Some players' Bobs simply refuse to win it no matter what the player tries.

What happens is that Bob tries cutting a corner at the Nouvelle Chicane, which he cannot do because of armco. Bob somehow can't see this giant steel wall and tries driving through it, normally doing so on almost every single lap. Of course, the consequence of this is Bob crashing and surrendering numerous track positions. It goes without saying that Bob can't win if he crashes on almost every lap. For the players that have experienced this issue, the only chance for victory is for Bob to drive the 2J.

This isn't a matter of opinion. It's just how it is. It really doesn't matter how many players speak out saying that their Bobs won it.

if you get the Toyota 7, which is obtainable through gt all stars, a turbo mod and a 25 bob (hot) then it will be fine and youll win!
the main thing is that your bob needs to be "red hot" because those work better under the pressure of those kinds of races.

How do you get a Chaparral 2J?

I just got mine this morning with a 1970 birthday ticket. 1 in 11 chance and first time, bang, saved me 15 million!

 

[Crumpet]

I don't even like it, wasted 15,000,000 on a fridge.

 

[Rayzah]

get a '70 birthday ticket and grind it until you pull a 2j.

+1. I think the guy above just wanted to let off steam a bit. Funny thing he´s saying it´s a matter of fact that some Bobs may not win it. A fully tuned Toyota 7 gets the cup, specially when he gets the right orders 👍

 

[10,500RPM]

My Bob couldn't win the race in the Toyota 7 because of the stupid barrier issue, i had to use the 2J.

@ op i have a 2J, 2D and Toyota 7 add me if you want to use any of them.

 

[Gutterguppy]

I used the Toyota and won. Used the tranny wide open and the mid turbo package. My guy was level 26.

The only car that is potentially better is the Toyota 7, and it is generally a pretty close race between the two depending on the track.
I do agree that 15 million could be better spent elsewhere, though.

This is not particularly good advice. If you force Bob to be red hot in the Monaco race, he will lose. Especially if he is driving the Toyota 7.

Not particularly funny, because he is more or less right. Certain Bobs when doing that race refuse to drive the course properly, no matter what their pressure level is, because they try to cut some of the corners between the tunnel and the start line. It basically comes down to luck with those who are end up with one of those Bobs. I had one before I lost my save that wouldn't even negotiate the track properly when he was massively over-leveled for the race (he was something like Level 34).
And for whatever reason, the Toyota 7 seems to make this problem more frequent for Bobs who wouldn't have a problem with it in the 2J.

How do you get a Chaparral 2J?

Best way. You will need a seperate account (best to set one up as 1970 bithdate of that day if you want a 1970 ticket). Get the 1970 birthday ticket on you spare account. Don't open it at all. Quit game and Save game data to USB flash drive, then restart game and send the ticket to your main account. Then quit game on seperate account and delete game data and restore back from USB (make a copy on your pc/laptop incase you make a mistake with this) This way you'll have another 1970 ticket to send the next day.

Then delete data from usb flash.
Go to main account go to community and accept 1970 birthday ticket but don't open it yet. Quit game and save data to your usb flash drive, again save data to pc incase anything goes wrong. Start game and open ticket, if you don't like what you get then quit the game delete the save data and restore from usb and restart the game. Once you see a car you like accept it. Quit game and delete data from usb as you now have it how you want it.

On day 2 do the same thing. You will have the 1970 ticket stored in your seperate account . Before starting game back up game save to usb flash so you can send the ticket again.Once sent delete save and restore back from usb and so on. Do this every day until you get every 1970 car you want, although there aren't many 1970 cars which are good.

Grind until you have 15-16 mil and then just enjoy how fun a fridge with a fan on the back actually is. Some may think it is a waste of money, i don't. I absolutely love it.

 

[big_davey_b]

It is a great car. But it comes up so rarely in the UCD and costs so much that you will struggle to get one in the UCD and when it does come up, you'll probably have spent your money on a stack of other nice cars. I managed to trade for one before this infernal trading limit was imposed. But nowadays, your easiest route is through the 1970 birthday ticket. You can use the birthday exploit to get one, or you can head over to The Marketplace and trade for one. You can do the same for the 2D as well bit using a 67 birthday ticket. Cos that is over 12 million when that pops up in the used cars.

 

[Mr. CoolFiat]

This sounds more and more like Pokemon.

 

[Urlik]

It's my lucky friggin day, I just got one from a level 1000 ticket!

 

[D_B_Coop]

There's a pretty simple way around bob's failure at Monaco. Just pick different kind of drivers when you make more bobs. One surely has to win. I guess I picked the right one, my bob beat it after about four tries in the Jaguar. Half of the other drivers hit the same wall too.

 

[chris speed]

Hi, for the 14+mil credits I woudn't bother unless your collecting a piece of history. It turns up once in a while in the "used car dealership". I consistently beat them in the "extreme " American championship. Indy- Ford GT LM race car, Laguna Seca- Corvette C5R. These are the two highest "paying" races over 5 laps at 98,000cr each and Laguna Seca has an experience level of 7808. Hope this helps.

 

[berzerkfvry]

My B-spec driver(s), like many others, can only win with the Chap 2J.
The best I did without the 2J was with a Ferrari 330 and came 2nd. I've tried all other advice, such as the Toyota7, which proved to be a major disappointment and stuck in bottom 1/2 for majority of the race despite constant babysitting.
It seems the probable way for someone to win that race (without a 2J or lv30+ Bob) is, if and only if, the 2J isn't present in the race lineup.

 

[Berka]

It seems to be car in seventh or eight place that allways do the crash at Monaco

Touché
I didn´t know this.

 

[Machate-man]

This is not particularly good advice. If you force Bob to be red hot in the Monaco race, he will lose. Especially if he is driving the Toyota 7.

When I meant 'red hot', I meant naturally 'red hot' at creation, as you can push those drivers to red, and they'll like it!

And for whatever reason, the Toyota 7 seems to make this problem more frequent for Bobs who wouldn't have a problem with it in the 2J.

You will find that the toyota 7 is a Prize car from "Like the Wind", which is easily won by borrowing any car suited for that event. Compared to geting to 15mil to buy the 2J. Mainly, if money wasn't an issue, then people would take the 2J over Toyota 7 any day.
But PD didn't take that into account, did they

If you're still stuck, then follow this:

1. Level 25+ Bob with natural pace set to RED (or far right)
2. Toyota 7 (won from Like the wind B-Spec)

Buy the stage 3 turbo to get the HP up to 920+, racing soft tyres, and set dwnforce to max.
Then let your driver race. His pace will naturally go to red, since he will be near drivers most of the time. This is good for a naturally hot driver since he works better in such conditions.
For level 25 drivers:
You may need to use the OVERTAKE button, as drivers below 27 usually dont pass on their own.
For Level 28+:
Just let bob do his thing. He may surprise you at how well he wil do, even on a track such as Monaco GP. He may occasionally hit Nouvelle, but he would've already gained a great enough lead to be able to recover from it without trouble

 

[Cheetah100]

Looking to to borrow Chaparral 2J and Chaparral 2d.
I use B-spec racing everyday. Add me at Cheetah77.

 

[ivoyared]

The Chaparral's are the best historic racing cars in the game.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

Methods: 1970 Ticket, 1000 Ticket, or buy it.

I have one on a fake account from a 1970 Ticket. (Yeah, I cheated. What are you gonna do?)
In my defense, I just wanted to own it and drive it.

 

[Machate-man]

The Chaparral's are the best historic racing cars in the game./QUOTE]

They are the best In Reality, but 2J's "fan effect' isn't as pronounced in GT5 as in reality, so other cars are still competitive.

The 2D is cool though...

Yep.

I was watching that La Sarthe remote racing with Group C's and LMP's and I saw the Chaparral 2J in the starting grid. The poor car is simply smashed by the other cars in the Muslanne but in that corner in the end the car simply overtakes 4 in a row. It's incredible.

 

[MickLite]

I got my Bob to do it in the 330P4, but I patiently had him run the race over and over about 20 times. I also had a usb keyboard plugged in with the enter key held down on the overtake command. He finnaly got it done and I had to save the replay because I couldn't believe it.

 

[Divinus]

Hey if you want the car without using the b-day glitch or try your luck in a 1000 ticket try this:

1. Save 15milion.
2*. Use this

That's the key right there, knowing how direct Bobs actions. If he always slams into the same wall, tell him not to by having him "Pace Down".
You can't expect the dummy to just get in the car and win every single race for you without telling him what to do, can you?
