Mini Cooper LM race Car

Unfortunately its not in the game, I have 100% complete and even won all the races on The Ace level and it hasnt appeared. Its funny though about a month before it came out I was watching a mates DVD with a preview of GTC and it was on that. I want someone to prove me wrong though because the car looked sooo funny.

Thank goodness you said that - I was about to post asking where you got it. I cleared 100% this morning (get this - I'm 1.2 seconds outside the gold time at Tahiti Maze II, and I've run three or four attemtps within 2 tenths of this time. I have this absolute 'use the force Luke' moment and suddenly find 2 seconds and get under the gold time easily) and couldn't find the LM Mini anywhere!
 
Selecting ace is the same as selecting pro in GT3. Just hold down R1 & R2.
 
I was reading the OPS2 review of it this morning (a score of 6/10 and said to be 85% style, 15% game, :O ) and I saw pictures of the Mini LM rallying with roof racks. It should have been left in there, would have been a riot.
 
Ive seen that picture aswell. Why would they take it out? the cooper S is already in there so surley there wouldnt be any liscensing issues with BMW (mini owners) so why take it out. (im certain it aint there - gold in every course liscence gold in every race (including ACE), theres nothing more i can do. It just aint there and i guess we'll never know why. :(

Dispute with the roof rack providers? :)
 
:lol: Probably..Rossell

I guess for a racing game practicality isn't important...

Like we haven't seen caravans or anything?... :gcar:
 
There's no LM Mini, and ace mode is gotten not by pressing R1 & R2, but by pressing L1 and L2. I would be quite funny though :rotfl: A mini Lm!!! :rotfl: Sorry i don't think a mini couldn't .look funny as an lm car.
 
quote from ign.com (http://ps2.ign.com/articles/363/363153p1.html ): "June 24, 2002 - Gran Turismo Concept: Tokyo-Geneva has an absolutely massive amount of automobiles to choose from for an expansion disc. Almost quadrupling the number of cars from the first add-on (Tokyo 2001), the second add-on for Gran Turismo 3 reads like a car moguls dream garage.

Below is the complete listing of all cars to appear in the game, although it has been confirmed that not all of them will be playable :"

i'm not sure what they meant by "not playable", but i'd assume the Mini Cooper S LM was one of them. maybe you can race against it or something. also, having non-playable cars probably serves as an incentive to purchase GT4, where they would be playable.

also, the roof racks are probably a tribute to the old mini coopers that won the Monte Carlo Rally in '64, '65, and '67, which also had roof racks.
 
:lol: These Roof Racks are becoming a bit of an item....

So the Roof Racks are used in Rallies? :curvyrd:
mmm that kinda makes sense if the drivers were transporting all there stuff about? :D
 
THERE IS NO LM MINI and there are around the same amount of cars as GT3. The other mini in GT2 was a tribute to the montecarlo versions. (i think). I hope this helps :)
 
Hey guys i found a pic of the car you guys are arguing about, please hold the applause, thank you thank you. I found it on a German site. Enjoy!

Nice work gt3stuntman01!!!! Great shot - I imagine copywrite issues with the WRC might have caused a problem there, since it's not actually a real car. Shame that.

I think the GT2 rally spec Mini WAS the Monte Carlo version.

Roof racks were used in rallies many years ago to carry spare tires, particularly in the Mini as there was no room inside the car to carry them.

Modern cars either mount them inside the cabin, or under the rear floor of the car.
 
:gt:3Stuntman Nice One Mate :smilewink

So there's a screenshot of it in the game, yet it isn't? :confused:


A :mini: V6 Would have been nice too?... and that does exist :smilewink

Not the first time that's happened - heck, on the GT Planet front page there's a shot of the Mercedes CLK GT-R Le Mans car from GT2, and that car was never in the game. Last minute licensing issues do come up - the Diablo in GT3 being a prime example.

There's no V6 Mini - there is a supercharged 4 pot though.
 
Sorry for not replying sooner, ive been busy with school lately.
Your welcome on finding the car, i just found it on some German site. And Thanks for your thanks guys. :D

Mmm... No. That will never happen. BMW have and will continue to work very hard to keep the brands as seperate as possible - remember the Mini is perceived as being British, so BMW will be keen to keep any association to an absolute minimum.
