Last four events then I've completed the game...

Last bit of advice and I reckon I've completed the game.

Need a decent car for the Tuned car cup, and the three endurance races. What would everyone recommend?

Oh here you are.

You keep creating new threads for new topics.

One of the twin-turbo GTO's should walk away with the Tuned Series. It'll be a little difficult to keep under control at Autumn Ring II, but you can leave winning the race at that course until later perhaps. Tuned TVR's and Dodge Vipers are quite nice too. Or perhaps try the 1988 Nissan Silvia K's (K good; Q bad).

For a less overpowering 4WD car, try a Subaru Impreza WRX or Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. You might actually find them easier than more powerful cars at Autumn Ring II.

I think my favourite drive in that event was a Blaze Red Mazda FC Savanna RX-7 GT-X.

For the two race-mod enduroes, your race-mod GTO should do, but perhaps try one or two of your XXvsYY prizes instead. The GTO should walk away with the tuned enduro. (especially if you slide along the occasional wall ) Or try whatever car you end up winning the Tuned Series with.

Cheers again matey. Seems your the only reason I'm getting through GT1 successfully lol. The Tuned cup is a bit of a bitch to be honest. I may have to buy another GTO-TT as I race modded my other one lol. Cheers again buddy.

Wa-a-a-y back in 1999 I made some notes at

If you see the "Tuned Series Results" links, you can follow them back and forth to skip straight to sections of pages dealing with that series.

I.e. they go through...

To breeze through the tuned series and tuned enduro (SSR11 reverse), try the Impreza Type R. Great, great car. Ive won the GTWC with that car, so against non race cars, it dominates. The Cerbera is also a great choice.

I would advise against GTOs, not that they cant do the job, but they are handfuls and I dont find the driving style as enjoyable.

The GTO is the Excuseo....oops....Escudo...of GT1...in other words, it's one of the "cheat" cars since you can pile on loads of power and not "work" so much. 💡

How so? I find that a non-race-modded GTO TT gives similar lap times on most tracks (and slower on the slower tracks) to my Impreza Type R and Cerbera. The 930 hp may be fast, but the steering is horrible compared to my 400-500 hp starlets. You end up accelerating hard and braking hard, not very smooth and hard to get into a rythm. The race modded GTO is a different animal and takes the corners much better (though that car gets spanked by the Concept car, Cerbera LM and del Sol LM as its a whole new class of cars), but for non-race-modded cars, ill take my Subaru or TVR anyday, please and thank you. Just alot more enjoyable for me.

Very cool. You made your point I just always see folks praising the GTO (especially in the "best cars" thread) because of its horsepower. Most never seems to note its faults, which makes me think they're usually racing so far ahead of the competition and relying on the power.

..also, a 930 horsepower GT0 suffers from mad turbo-lag. I wish they had kept real turbo-lag in later games don't you?

I don't think it's the best car at all. If I were to choose any car in my garage right now, it'd be my Viper as it is less of an handful and will turn like a sports car instead of drifting and sliding into every turn. GTO TT is bloody quick down straights but sluggish around corners. I haven't tried the Delsol LM out yet so I might do as it has a decent BHP and is bloody light aswell.

I might give the Impreza a go but before that I will give the Cerbera a try as it is FR.

Thanks for all the help guys. Three more events left =)

 

[matherto]

try the FTO LM for anything, it's the best car in the game

 

[bAtesy]

It's for non-racing modded cars.
