hey. i got GT4 and im about 26% through. i got lotus esprit sport 350. RUF Yellowbird. pagani zonda, Cadillac Cien and a few other cars. and over 1.5mill credits to use.

I want to get some of these endurance races finished, i need some advice

what car should i use for the El Capitan 200 Miles?

What car should i use for the 4 hour nurburgring race? (BSpec)

What car should i use for the 24 hour nurburgring race? (BSpec)

and is it worth it getting the Toyota GT-One Road Car from the late 90's shop? if so. how much does it cost?
 
if you want to b-spec nurb 4 or 24 hr, youre going to need atleast a good class c racer (ie minolta, 787b, gt-one, R92C, etc.)

depending on your skill level you could use a supra to race el capitan...it all depends on you and what you can buy and upgrade
 
well. i plan on winning the car from el capitan and maybe use that on nurburgring . would that work?

What supra should i buy?


and i got the gillet vertigo. would that be alright for el capitan?
 
The Cien will definitly do for El Capitan. And you do not need a group C racer for the Nürb races, even a GT racecar is total overkill! B-spec will win by several laps in a BMW M3 GTR Racecar.
 
i would A spec nurburgring. but i hate that track with a passion.

So the cien will do fine for el capitan. great. so what Black car is best to buy? and how much are they each?? i will prob only have enough for 1
 
El Capitan does not require anything approaching a quick car - you could pick up an S2000 for nowt from the 2nd hand dealership, add a Stage 2 turbo, S1 tyres, suspension and easily win (I used the almighty Amuse R1).

The GT-One costs about 1.2-1.3 million when it pops up on the last day - so it should be within your reach. Give it a chassis refresh and it should easily clean up the 'Ring enduros, even if it is a little bit overkill.
 
Ok. i did el capitan with my cien and lapped everyone 3 times. one person 4 times.

I have the Toyota 88C-V. i'm gonna do the 4 hour nurbring with that. then do 24 hour with the black GT-One when i get it or the black mazda 787-B when i get it
 
You can't enter racing cars in the Nurb 4 hours endurance (though I'm sure you'll find that out when you give it a shot). You could easily win the 4 hours with an M3 or something with similar power.
 
damn you cant use racing cars.

lotus esprit sport 350. RUF Yellowbird. pagani zonda, Cadillac Cien

would any of them be good to use??? (they are all maximum modded)
 
ok. so i gotta sit around on computer talking on msn while B Speccing the race. how great. lol....

you know what would be good

a second tv next to my tv im using for ps2. watch some movies while b-speccing the endurance races
 
If your objective is to win:

B-spec El Capitan in the Cien and win a Minolta Toyota Group C car.

b-spec the 24 hour nurb in the prize Minolta Toyota (with a turbo for good measure) and put harder tyres on the rear than the front to stop b-spec from spinning out and missing the pit lane on his in laps.

You now have an FGT car which is good enough to b-spec all other enduros involving race cars once you change the rear toe from -6 to something like -1 (improves tyre wear).

B-spec the Nurb 4 hours in the Cien for an easy win and whatever that prize car is.

There is now no need to purchase the black GT-One as you now have a race car that can b-spec and win every race car event. Therefore you are free to just buy it if you want it.

If your objective is to have a challenge:

a-spec El Capitan in the Sport 350. Don't let your b-spec driver anywhere near it. If there is a Motorsport Elise in the race, you'll have a real fight on your hands.

a-spec the Nurb 4 hours in the Sport 350 too. Toughest competition in an Opel Speedster turbo and a Lotus Elise 111R. Perhaps use the Yellowbird if you want to make it really challenging, though this is faster than the Sport 350.

Use a touring car in the Nurb 24 hour to make it challenging.

Sorry, off topic, what car would that be and how noticeable is the improvement? I most likely own that car and I like to keep all my vehicles perfectly tuned.

:drool: :drool: :drool: ...You hate the sacred Nurburgring Nordschleife???

Come on man, racing on that track will make you a lot better, and trust me..if you a-spec at least 8-10 hours on the 24 hour Nurb you will LOVE the Legenday Ring :bowdown: go for it! 👍

True.

Racing on Nurb is totally different from racing at say, Tsukuba. Theres so much more challenge.

Changed the tyres did you?

Try driving the Toyota 7 on N3s round Suzuka. It's more fun.
