As said try and win 'Like the Wind' in B-Spec, for that you get the Minolta Toyota Le Mans car and it's fantastic. You'll breeze through loads of races with it.

I think you mean A-Spec. You win the Toyota 7 Race car in B-Spec. Personally I just saved up a load of credits until I could buy thr Formula GT car which sailed through any race I entered it in bar the Formula GT championship which is quite difficult.

Formula GT championship which is quite difficult.

Use the following settings on the Formula GT and adjust the transmission with each race.

Downforce:
Front 70 Rear 90
Transmission:
Top Speed: 390KM/H - 242 Miles pr hour
LSD:
15/45/55
Suspension
Height: 5/5
Spring Rate 17.4/17.5
Dampers E 8/8
Dampers C 6/6
Roll Bars 7/7
Camber Angle F 2.0 R 1.0
Toe Angle F 0.00 R -0.20
Brakes:
Brake balance 4/1

Recommended Transmission settings per race (KM/H):

Race 1 Fuji Speedway: 390
Go fast on the straights and brake early on the turns, be smart and dont accelerate too fast out of a turn otherwise you'll spin out

Race 2 Road Course - Indy: 380
With above settings you should win easily, just stay a head of the pack and dont panic if you spin out you can gain positions on the straight by drafting.

Race 3 Cote d'Azur: 330 ( difficult race )
This ending in tears with me and madness. If your winning all well and good, anything from mid position up is good. However if your losing big time, have the name of the leading drivers in the championship and drive the opposite way and knock them off the top position. Only do this if you know youll come last, once youve done it just quit the race and move onto the next one.

Race 4 Nurburgring GP/F: 360
Easy Race with the second last turn, you can go off track there but dont accelerate and aim towards the left to avoid the barrier on the right. The AI rivers will spin out on this turn every time so its an easy win.

Race 5 Monza: 380
Theres another short cut on this track but you still need good driving on this track as the AI wont be far behind.

Race 6 Suzuka: 380 ( use suitable tires if its raining, otherwise youll suffer )
I suffered in this race, was in last position within a minute, i had no slicks on so watch out for that. Keep in mind the dirty trick you can do as stated in race 3.

If you won 4 of the 6 and placed good in the other races or knocked the 2nd and 3rd oppostion out in some races, you should win.

Tip: Dont accelerate too early when leaving a corner, youll spin out making it more difficult to catch up. Be Patient and you'll get there even if it takes 10 laps to do so.
Watch the checkpoint times make sure your gaining and not losing time, you might need to up your game to gain positions. Best of luck

Anywhere else bar Argos selling the DFGT cheap? I've checked online i Argos and it seems to be out of stock in all stores.

I had a similar problem a few days abck, sent my buddy a car and he hadnt got it for a few hours, so not sure was it a once off problem or what.

just a little tip for everyone that i remembered from gt3
when ya get a new car change the oil before driving it, i got the minolta race car and with a turbo upgrade had 960hp, changed the oil and got 1008hp

Shouldn't that be when you get a USED/SECOND HAND car????

guil wrote: »

nope brand new car, i used to always do it on gt3 with the formula one cars to get extra bhp, go try it

Cool, I knew it worked for used cars but didnt think it would make any difference to new cars.

Car is on its way as we speak.

that historic race cup is a right bitch, i used a RM challenger for the first race and the countach ya will from the lambo event for the second

I used the Toyota 7 I won in B-Spec. Deep Forest wasnt too bad but Cote D'Azur was fairly painful. Hate the 2J car! Cant get my B-Spec driver to place better than 5th in the Cote D'Azur race, its pretty frustrating!

Thanks man. Accepted your friend request there so I'll keep an eye out for the car. I've all the other bonus races done apart from the C4 one.
