gt 1:BEST CARS FOR EACH RACE
SUNDAY CUP
Pretty much anything that's tuned will smoke the sad vehicular slugs that make up this field.
CLUBMAN CUP
As long as your car has over 300 hp and good suspension modifications, you'll win with ease.
GT CUP
A fully-tuned car is what you need to win this one. Any full-spec Nissan GT-R is a good pick, even
though it's really too powerful for these courses. But who cares if your racing is a little ragged when
you can blow the competition away with brute force.
WORLD GT CUP
Like the previous race, a fully-tuned car that weighs less than 2500 lbs and sports more than 525 hp is
required to win this. So that means any of the "big five" -- Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra, Mitsubishi GTO,
Honda NSX or Nissan Skyline GT-R. However, the Mitsubishi is a bit of a lard-mobile, so it's slow on
the twisty courses. The Mazda and Toyota, due to the massive power being delivered to their rear
wheels only, need an experienced driver to really get the best out of them. The light weight of the gives
it blistering acceleration and top end -- although like the Mazda and Toyota, its rear wheel drive means
it's easy to spin out on the twisty bits. The 4WD of the Nissan makes it an excellent all-rounder. Once
you get more skillful, you should be able to win the race with other, less powerful cars (which is
actually more fun and requires much better racing ability than competing with a super-powered car).
FF RACE
The Mitsubishi FTO GP-R is the best car for this class, although both the Honda Prelude SiR and
Honda Integra R are just as fun to drive and give it a good run for its money. The Honda Civic 93
3Door Si and Mitsubishi Cyborg are less powerful, but are still competitive thanks to their light weight.
FR RACE
The Mazda RX-7 and Toyota Supra are both excellent for this. The Honda NSX would be too -- but it
can't enter this race because it has a mid engine. A tuned Viper is also a great laugh which, thanks to
its enormous tires, has copious grip and very good handling, and the lightweight TVRs are also fun. In
the non-exotic group, the Toyota MR2, Nissan Sil Eighty and Nissan '88 Silvia 1800 K's are fun drivers.
The Mazda Eunos and Toyota Trueno are also a hoot -- both are underpowered, but their light weight
makes them a blast to drive.
4WD RACE
Once again the ominous Nissan GT-R rules the roost here. The Mitsubishi FTO Limited Edition is less
powerful, but is easier to drive. The Subaru Impreza Rally Edition is also a good one, although its lack
of top end makes it a bit annoying to drive on the straight-aways (because it hits the rev limiter in top
gear if you don't fiddle with its setup). But this is somewhat unfair considering the competition are
driving non-racing cars. So if you want a good challenge, less powerful, non-racing cars that are also
great fun on this course are the Subaru Impreza ('96 Sedan and Type R), Mitsubishi Lancer (III and
IV), Nissan GTi-R and Toyota Celica GT-4.
LIGHTWEIGHT
The Mitsubishi FTO GP-R Version is the vehicle of choice here. But for high comedy value fun driving,
race tune the Mazda Demio A-Spec. With a measly 211 hp under the hood, but weighing in at a
featherlight 1408 hp, it's like driving a souped-up shopping kart. And it also happily corners on two
wheels (indeed, once you get skillful enough, you can actually drive some distance with the car
balanced on two wheels!), which makes it great fun to drive. The Mazda Eunos, Mitsubishi Cyborg R,
Honda Civic 93 3Door Si and Toyota Starlet are the final choices in this category. They're not as fast
as the FTO, but are all a total laugh to race with.
US Vs JAPANESE
The Mitsubishi FTO Limited Edition destroys the competition in this race, thanks to high power and
4WD. But if you want variety, any of the race-converted "big five" work here, and a fully-tuned Viper
GTS-R offers laughs a-plenty if lurid tail slides are your thing.
JAPANESE Vs BRITISH
Like the above, the Mitsubishi FTO Limited Edition rocks. Any of the "big five" are competitive. If it's a
British racer you're after, there's nothing better than a race-tuned Cerbera -- although its huge
rear-wheel power and super-light weight makes racing an oversteer spectacular (the back spins out
when the power is poured on too early). Once you win it, the Cerbera Limited Edition is absolutely
fantastic -- when you learn how to drive it properly, you can corner on two wheels while tail sliding,
under full acceleration. Brilliant!
BRITISH Vs US
The Viper GTS-R is king for this one, although the Cerbera (fully tuned with racing body) is a really
good alternative. Again, just be careful with the throttle -- both cars are very powerful and lightweight
and tend to oversteer.
MEGA
Power and speed are the keys to this race. Any fully-tuned, high-spec Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra RZ,
Nissan GT-R, Honda NSX or Mitsubishi GTO will win this with ease. The Viper and TVRs are also
winners here too.
NORMAL
The best car for this series is the Viper RT/10. Marginally lighter than the Viper GTS and producing the
same ps, this car smokes everything -- including the other killer car in this class, the NSX Type S-Zero.
The only thing that's tricky is initially learning to drive the Viper -- once you've mastered it, you won't
have any problems winning this series. The only other car that is clearly better than the competition is
the Nissan 400 R that you earn by winning all the gold medals in the international A license test. If you
want a challenge, any TVR, RX-7 or Subaru Impreza can also win, but only if you're a great racer.
TUNED
This is a hard race, since you're up against some very powerful, medium weight cars. A 4WD
rally-style car (Impreza or Lancer) makes a lot of sense for this, but all of them tend to lose out on the
high speed courses to cars like the Toyota Supra, Nissan GT-R and Honda NSX. A GT-R sporting
every tuning feature except the racing conversion is a guaranteed winner -- it's difficult to drive on
some of the tighter courses, but its huge power advantage and 4WD makes it a formidable car.
VALLEY 300
Here's where the going gets really tough: a 300 mile, 60-lap race of the Grand Valley Speedway. It's
certainly a test of endurance -- rather than skill, since the computer cars tend to drive conservatively.
The FTO Limited Edition racing car is great for this (which you should have won long before you try
this race). Its perfect balance of medium weight and high power coupled with 4WD gives it supreme
handling and makes it a really easy car to race -- it's plenty forgiving if your concentration starts to
lapse. It also has good top speed, and with reasonably fast, consistent racing it's easy to build up a huge
margin between you and the second-placed car and ensure you finish first by miles.
STAGE 11 RACING
Another massive race, this one weighing in at around 50 minutes. Again the FTO LM is ideal for this --
it's the best all-round car in the game. And again, steady and consistent racing is the key to success. If
you want variety, any light/medium weight 4WD car is ideal for this rally-style course.
STAGE 11 TUNED
An overpowered GT-R is ideal for this. The problem is that it wears its tires out incredibly quickly, so
expect to be pulling into the pits every 15-19 laps for new rubber. Despite that, the GT-R is still king of
this one, since its combination of 4WD and immense power blows away the opposition and enables you
to build up a huge gap between you and the second-placed AI driver.
