October 26, 1999 (November 5, 1999) I was trying to get the gold cups in absolutely as few days as possible. I reloaded the game so as to take only one attempt per license test. I later restarted this game from a day 39 save, to see if I could win it with fewer purchased cars. 1 B4 pass 0:25.371 silver 2 B5 pass 0:24.104 silver 3 B3 oass 0:29.014 bronze 4 B1 pass 0:35.387 bronze 5 B2 pass 0:26.603 silver 6 B6 pass 0:27.518 bronze 7 B7 pass 0:26.178 silver 8 B8 pass 1:21.083 bronze (2 tries) 9 B license acquired 4:35.258 9 A1 pass 0:33.232 bronze 10 Cr10,000 10 buy car 3dr'93si captiva blue pearl Civic '93 3dr si This is a cheap price for the Civic 3 door, and, with light modification this car can win the Clubman, FF and Lwt races. 10 Cr10,000 -> Cr1,130 10 A2 pass 0:25.311 bronze 11 A3 pass 0:43.982 bronze (2 tries) 12 A4 pass 0:38.906 bronze (8+ tries) 13 A5 pass 0:31.429 bronze 14 A6 pass 0:26.717 bronze (10+ times) 15 A7 pass 0:30.657 silver 16 A8 pass 1:07.705 bronze (2 tries) 17 A license 4:57.939 17-20 3dr'93si Sunday q6Hq4G 1st27to18,11,8,6,5 Demio(1/1*)a 21 Cr26,630 21 buy parts 3dr'93si Turbo1,WR1+2,semi-tires S/H -> Cr1,430 21-24 3dr'93si Clubman q6Aq6C3q6TM 1st22to21,13,8,6,5 Camaro(1/1*)a 25 Cr37,430 25 buy parts 3dr'93si racing-ex,computer,sport-brakes 25-28 3dr'93si FF q6DFq4GVE 1st27to18,11,10,5,4 yellowCRX(1/6)a 29 Cr52,930 29 buy parts 3dr'93si soft-stab,racing-flywheel -> Cr51,230 29-32 3dr'93si Lwt q4Cq5DF4 1st21to19,16,9,7,3 blueCivic(1/6)a 33 Cr75,230 33 buy car RT/10 red Dodger Viper RT/10 -> Cr6,430 33 power off October 27, 1999 33-38 RT/10 Normal sw45to30,20,15,10,5 orangeImpreza(1/6)a 39 Cr406,430 39 saved game November 6, 1999 This is where this game diverges from the "gold" game. 39 mod car Impreza (alias) max tune, a few extra parts -> 132,730 39-42 orangeImpreza 4wd sw27to18,12,9,6,3 whiteAlcyone(1/6)a 43 Cr162,230 43-47 orangeImpreza GTC sw36to24.15.13,7,5 ChaserLM(1/1*)a 48 Cr247,230 48 IA1 pass 1:05.450 bronze (1 try) 49 IA3 pass 2:01.369 bronze (1 try) 50 IA5 pass 1:23.301 bronze (1 try) 51 IA7 pass 2:12.361 bronze (3 tries) 52 IA4 pass 1:22.045 bronze (1 try) 53 IA2 pass 1:29.902 bronze (6 tries) 54 IA6 pass 1:31.507 bronze (2 tries) 55 IA8 pass 1:58.560 bronze (1 try) 56 IA license 13:04.495 56-61 Impreza Abnormal GV5CR3 1st33to27,22,19,19,5 yellowSkyline(1/6)a 62 Cr572,230 62 power off November 9, 1999 62 mod car Skyline max tune yellowSkyline, plus extra parts -> Cr290,530 62-65 yellowSkyline Mega sw27to18,10,9,6,5 purpleDB7(1/6)a 66 Cr380,530 66 power off It is tempting to use this car if you win it. But you might win an almost useless Trueno instead. So I think I must play as much of the rest of the game without using it. After I finish this game I will evaluate the silver Nismo GT-R LM (All-nightII prize) as a Mega-Speed contender. The "correct" strategy is arguably to use that car instead of the Skyline.
