I think perhaps Jody suggested to me that I try a tuned GTO twinturbo in the Japanese International series as practice. Well, that seemed to do the trick. |
I finessed myself a red '95 GTO twinturbo MR. By that I mean I went back to a day 17 B license card, winning the Sunday Cup with a stock '93 Civic 3dr Si, and then buying the available red '95 GTO MR, and saving the game temporarily so I could Memory Card Trade it to my "real" game. Red cars are best. |
First of all I took that red tuned '95 GTO MR to UKvsJP, won a Cerbera, but still green, 2nd time won a black del Sol. |
Then with the same car, I did a near sweep of USvsJP with same won by lots (45 to 2nd place 22), and finally won a Viper GTS-R with green, as opposed to blue, stripes. Another near sweep of USvsJP, 45 to 27, won a green FTO LM |
The I entered the race I had been pracising for: |

pits, end of 8,16,23 I lost the lead on lap 8, but strategy worked. 1st lap 1:59.578 fl(28)1:50.804rec slowest non-pit lap(30) 1:57.431 won: Cr150,000 and solver NISMO GT-R LM |
I then tried the USvsJP again, and came third at Trial Mountain (tired, I guess), but won 40 to 28, and this time I won a black FTO LM!!! Yet another new prize car!!! |
So then I got brave and tried the Hard-Tuned Car Speed Contest, hoping to get at least silver this time. |

1st 38 to 26 points. |
In the Hard-Tuned (aka Abnormal Car) Contest, I swept everything but the Autumn Ring ii, ie. poles and wins. Hey, at the Autumn Ring that @!*@*! two-wheeling Civic nearly beat me!!!! I had to outdrag it on the finishing straight. The two points meant that, due to other cars exchanging points, I could not lose the series, since I was leading 29 to 20. (It's difficult in these series to not earn at least one point in a race) But, nonetheless I won the SSR11ii and won the series cleanly 38 to 26. Most races I did with turbo spec 4, and semi-racing muffler. It occurred to me halfway through Autumn Ring that I should have used less turbo there, but later time trials did not back that up. Sure, I was able to put in a good time with spec 2(3?), but when I put spec 4 back I was able to beat it. So perhaps a good practice technique is to gradually build up to maximum power. |
I won the Toyota Trueno ; white, even |
I then swept the JPvsUK series, but won another black del Sol |
So now I've got all my gold race trophies. I don't suppose I'll ever get my gold license tests, though. I *did* think tuned car series might be beyond me, but, well... |
