Is it okay to skip any race in a series?

Yea it's ok but if you find a track difficult, do it anyway for the practice. A Pro GT Racer always give 110% no matter what car and what track.

Don't be a wuss do every race (no offense). :cheeburga

Later...
 
Doing every race until the last one is my usual strategy. I was impatient once during the Japan GT Championship on Pro. I just wanted to get that Zonda Race Car so I could complete the Italian Avant Garde pair..... But of course I had to later on go back and do the individual races I skipped.... It was no problem though :sleep:
 
It's easier to do it all at once to keep your complete % up.

I've skipped and came back, but now I never do. I want another 787B! :D
 
lol - I'm lazy and there's always more important stuff I can be doing... I skip as many races as possible and will go back later if (and that's a BIG if) I ever get to the point where I'm chasing down 100%.

I usually end up quitting after the 5 or 6th race in a 10 race series.
 
Yeah, sure you can quit out of the series at any time. Personally I do the entire series first time round, then after that I'll do only whats needed to win the series and win the car!
 
Aljones has the strategy that I've been using too. First, time thru I try to win all the races in the series to keep my %ages (win and completion) up. Then go back and win only as much as I need to to take the series. Tho' I skip the boring or difficult tracks. TEST COURSE, and Grand Valley, And Cote d'Azur, not the track at the end of the series.
 
I am just lazy to do the whole thing first, then go back through it again for a car if I didn't get it the first time. I just check out my prize car directory, then go for it, the first time around.
 
My stratagy in some of the more tedius Series' (Polyphony Digital Cup) is to lap the competition and then to spin out the leader, so somebody different takes second every time...letting me skip more races :thumbsup:
 
I ended up usually doing only 6 out of 10 races, 5 out of 7 or 3 out of 5, I found out the hard way that you have to do them all :mad:
but all i have left to do is 4 polyphony cup races, and two F1 grand prix races :D
one of them being 78 ****IN LAPS AT MONACO :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
 
The Pro series races can really rack up a lot of miles between oil changes. I just recently lost 16 hp (yes, after the post-series oil change) on a brand new 787B on the GT World Championship. :mad:

The oil light came on during the 7th race and then the unrecoverable hp loss began. :(

I may decide to sacrifice some win % to keep my top cars in top working order. I had enough points to win the series after 7 races, so I probably could have saved some hp by forfeiting the rest of the races and cleaning them up after an oil change. :janitor:
 
A few points:

Type R: you wont affect your completion percentage as long as you go back and race it afterwards (Like a single race). The win/loss ratio is what gets affected. And it has no bearing other than a mental hiccup.

I've utilize Sublimedood's theory a few times, and managed to skip 4 out of ten races.

In the F1 series I took it a step further in racing 3 tracks before I started the series. Then I took the pole in qualifying at Seattle, which didn't award me any points, but it only awarded the second car 6 points in stead of 10. I skipped Laguna Seca and Cote D'Azur. This set me up to win the 3 f1's and sweep the series.

:confused:

I keep reading where you guys skip a race in the series and go back later and finish the individual race for the completion percentage...does this mean that if you finish all the races in the series and none of the individual races you have completed that section? and is the inverse true? if you complete all the individual races, you can skip the series race ?

sorry for the ignorance....someone straighten me out!

Welcome to GTP!

If you race the series, it will fill in the results of the individual races. If you get all golds, you do not have to go back and race them again. On the other hand, racing each individual race does not complete the series for you.

When you quit a race in a series (not retire from the series) you essentially get a DNF for that race. The little circle that displays your trophies will be empty for the race you quit. Note that if you finish but do not win a particular race in a series, there will be something other than a gold trophy displayed (silver, bronze, 4, 5, or 6). Since you need all gold trophies to eventually attain 100%, you need to go back and race the individual races to get golds on each. Also note that if you do not win the series (gold), you must go back and race the series event.

Hope this helps.
 
quattro_bro - thanks - that's exactly what i needed to know...did i miss that in the manual or is it just a commonly known fact? maybe if i had ever tried the series before winning all the individual races, i would have found out on my own!
