Just curious to see what cars you all used to finish up the Polyphony Cup series. I did the Roadster endurance last night and found it to be a lot more fun than I thought it would be. I guess using a 'normal' car every once in a while can inject a different kind of racing excitement into the game.

So anyway, I'm using the Toyota GT-ONE Road Car for this series and it's way too easy. I almost feel guilty... almost. I mean, I was after all using a F1 car to complete as much of Amateur and Beginner as I could.
 
Im planning on using the Ruf GTR for the race. Everyone says to use the NSX but I have seen 4mula do the race and win with great results with the GTR.
I hope this helps in giving you an idea on what to use.

I have used BOTH of the GT1s (Nissan and Toyota), the xj-220, and the Lotus 350.
I had the most interesting time with the Lotus. It's fast, but not overwhelming. You will need to win on pit strategy, and driver skill. Makes for an enjoyable race series.
 
I will probably use my Lancer if it is enough to win...I dont have the liscene to do it yet so I dont know what to use...
 
aha i used a r34 v-spec II, with hybrided r390 racecar engine with a loctite chasis!!! HECKA TIGHT!!!

I would think so - the small rally cars struggle a bit for outright speed, but with the tyre advantage you should be okay.

I tried a few races with a Subaru Legacy B4 but the big fella's just too heavy - it can manage top 3 finishes but it can't live with the NSX in that series.

I wonder what else would make that series a good one?
 
I used the Pagani Zonda C12S. I kept the stock tires and didnt touch a thing. After the first 2 races I almost quit to try a car with a bit better handling, but decided not to because I was winning. After the Polyphony Digital Cup I am the Zonda Master and once you know the kinks of that car, you can really fly.

I'm guessing that secret is 'brake early, brake hard'.

I must try that car in stock trim, rather than the 'about 8 kajillion' bhp it has with the stage four turbo.

Yah and it has to do with kicking the tail out by tapping the brakes while starting the turn (normally a 'no-no') and then cutting in on the perfect line maximising its rear weight bias oversteer with 100% throttle held on before and of course after apex. I find that most mid/rear engine cars are initially the hardest to drive but after practice are the fastest. Strangely no 2 are exactly the same.
