I like this idea, I could go with a first or second gen CRX SI, Eagle Talon TSI, Celica All-trac st-165, Bugeye WRX, or a E36 BMW. HMMMMMMMM.

Finding it near impossible to get ALL the Nissans in the game. They keep getting repeated in the used car dealership and don't see many new ones.

Also finding some that aren't on my list (special tuned cars, like an HKS S15 I bought yesterday).

Believe I'm missing 2 Infinitis, G20 and FX if anyone wants to contribute I could trade some other cars for those.

I actually found the G20 last night. Still missing the FX45.

Its a very slow progress. Basically sit there and go in/out of license test to get new cars in the used car section and find about 1 new NIssan I'm missing everytime the whole car lot refreshes.

Have not seen some of the rare cars at all (some of the race cars).

I'm up to 270+cars now. And I'm about 1 more 24hr race in Bspec to hit level 40.

If you don't have 20 million, I would do the American Series Laguna Seca race 5 times.

How many times did you have to 24 hr spec. I'm at 35 I think but wanted to know how long it would take to get to 40. Also a 1xx,000 dollar prize is bulls***.

Any one else coming?

So far it's me and joe!

EDIT:
Well me and Joe went at it and because I didn't feel like having a 6 track race when there is only 2 total people and Joe never liked the idea of it...

We went best of 3 series and Joe won the first 2. Congrats Joe; I'll be sending your level 17 car ticket soon. Monday I will release next weeks race. :shifter:

It was fun! The bad thing about karting is if you spin out, it's over...I just took it really easy.

I don't mind a re-kart, but Joe is locked in the #1 spot. He will be given 1st place for every track. We can all fight for 2nd, 3rd etc.

Holy crap buying all the Nissans is making me broke.

The R92 race car popped up yesterday, there's $5M gone.

Currently running the 24hr Nurburg race on B-spec. So will be done with Bspec.

crap, that's right...seems like a silly rule they implemented. Wonder if it was turning into a black market with real $$. :(

Anyway, I just finished the B-Spec Formula races...man that was tedious. 6 hours and you had to watch the last few laps to ensure they wouldn't pit on the last lap or something stupid like that.

Need to do it on A-Spec now. 20 laps for 6-7 events is no fun...

So, ready with the details on the next race? I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's cars!

I still need to see if I can beat the Formula GT series on Aspec, its the only one I wasn't able to beat pretty easily (not counting endurance races I haven't ran yet).

yep thats true, I called i first anyways lol. I still havent seen it yet. Biggie I see you've reached level 40 and maxed it out. Good job, bet that was painful enough. On to the next game..

RCA, thanks for the hookup on the flat black and chrome colors. Did you get those randomly? I also have a Vettel X1 ticket if you want it to duplicate for friends. Just let me know. I also used your $20mil Furd Turd for the Historic race but still cant beat Cote de Azur. My driver keeps hitting the wall at the end of the downhill after the hotel and also the last turn before the start/finsh. Jackknifes everytime so I just said F*** IT!! A 2D race car looks like the car I need to get the lead and keep it without trying to pass thru turns and hitting walls.

1) Yeah congrats Biggs
2) No problem. The flat black and silver chrome I have tons of and the gold was given to me by Jucide.
3) I have 3 of them, two Vettel's and one carbon prototype. Plus I always keep a Vettel in my borrowed cars so you probably never need to cash that in.
4) I put the 2J in my borrowed cars so every one of NICO can finish the Historicals if they haven't already. I put the Ford there for the Special Events that PD puts out ever month or so.

Man I tried that Vettel's challenge...that car is pure ballz. Not sure if I want to put the time in to beat it. Did the first race with 20 seconds over after failing multiple times by going off course.

The car is good for the B-Spec races though ;)

yeah agreed. Steering wheel is a must with that car.

Dam, you didnt beat the Special challenge with all gold did you? No.. definantly not with just a controller. Speaking of X1's I rebuilt the motor for a cool $500,000 the other day. I will use the 2J when I get on next
