The Final Race

[whitez]

ok, race 7---I quite that race because i had no chance of winning....Now i am only leading the series by 12 Points

Congrats WhiteZ on the race. Although it may have been a bad call to quit out. I only made it by 12+ seconds, and that involved some "cow like" driving. Including a few trips into the sand on the last corner. I raised my suspension fairly high, and tended to roll through the corkscrew.

Odd start, but Aiming for the three F1's win.

I've still got 2 seconds to shave off at TT9, and about 28 at TT10.
Then follow the method at the end of this post.

This was my break down of the three that I did

My plan is: Finish the two TT's off, and then attack the F1 series.

I can skip these three races, and still finish in first place according to this layout:

Midfield 30 laps 10 6
Seattle 40 Laps 0 12 Qualify in 1st place
Grand Valley 27 Laps 20 18
Super Speedway 50 Laps 30 24
Rome Circuit 28 Laps 40 30
Test Course 25 Laps 50 36
Laguna Seca 33 Laps 0 46
Apricot Hill Raceway 27 Laps 60 52
Tokyo R246 25 Laps 70 58
Cote D’azur 78 Laps 0 68

Finish with: 70 68

thx for the info man

 

[TAFJonathan]

that was a lot of writing

 

[whitez]

yup, he took the time too

 

[Der Alta]

I set the laptop up on the couch, and type it up as I race. Then cut and paste it in. It was a lot of writing, but it as much for me as anyone else. Once I've finished the race, I'll have a considerable amount of info to post. Somewhat of an F1 Compendium.

Then I get to restart the game and go again (If the wife lets me).

Hope it was helpful

[whitez]

it was

 

[captainkirk]

That was very informative. This is a great thread in my opinion. I hope it keeps going for a while. Maybe I will get the motivation to play that last 3.x percent I need to complete the game..... But I have the experience with this series. I will add/make comments as I see fit for anyone here. Good luck as you continue your trek along for F1 gold!!

 

[Tercel_driver]

I have already completed the last race. One of the toughest and largest. And boring too. I used the f094/H and ended first on every race until the eight (I just quit it, get my money, my prize car of course) to move on things that I really wanted to do, like tunning some cars of my garage and race some lighter series. After all, that is what GT3 is all about.

Later on, I will re-race the last two. (9 & 10)

 

[whitez]

nice work Tercel_Driver, i would start race 8 but im too lazy and i have Homework, i think i will blow the series out this weekend

 

[whitez]

[RoadHazzard]

I was just wondering how many, if any at all, have been able to sweep the entire Professional/Formula GT series with a NON-F1 vehicle...??? (Gameshark or not)

I remember trying with my maxed out ESCUDO a long time ago, as well as with a maxed out R390 Race Car (neither with Gameshark)... no luck, not even with pit strategy. The F1's were just too good.

So has anyone else been able to do it? I'm currently running through the series in my F094/S (the light-blue CASINO), and have been killing the field. I'm curious as to if I could've saved the use of this (my "favorite") car...

Thanks in advance for all contributions! Have a great drive!

i can deal with red tires for a good 10 to 15 laps its nothing to me i race better on worn tires than the blue ones sometimes
