Anyone got a list of the lolWorthy vehicles other than the 500 F? I kinda want to arrange some 'underdog' races in the future using the shittiest vehicles in the game tuned as much as possible.

Maybe have the race be on the usual uphill mountain track to ween out the weak vehicles.

I have one car that has 12 HP. I'll get the info on it. Been working on different things like the Grand Tour (I gold'd 2 events and bronzed 3 ), finally beat the sambabus Top Gear thing.. but only finished 6th, so got a bronze there as well. Double Silver + Gold on the Rally car event. I only have like.. 20-21 cars or so and am level 14 :/

But yeah. I don't have any badass cars, really. I'm using my amazon pre-order car for shit like a-spec events where I can use it since it handles fairly nicely. I'm sitting on 510k though, so maybe I'll splurge.

The super license cars drive the exact same line each time. It's really easy to gold most of these once you figure out their lines, and drive around them. Getting there can be pretty frustrating, as they like to stop way in advance of the racing line and you'll rear end them DQ'ing you. Once I was finally able to complete the lap, I ended up with having 7 gold, 2 silver, and a bronze. The two silvers I can probably gold pretty easy (Trial Mountain and Top gear). The only really hard one so far is the Tokyo R246 course. The group of four that separates right away is really hard to catch up to.

picked this up today on way home from work, been fun so far until this ridiculous intermediate top gear track event. these lotus are one of the worst cars i've driven in a GT game! doesnt help that the AI seems to be aiming for me or slams their brakes when I'm behind them in a narrow section... I've also been DQ's for tapping one cone, yet I've completely overrun the same cone section and not been DQ'd... rage inducing x100

Wait..which super license are you talking about? Not sure which mode that is. Is that the license tests? the A-spec? o.o

My frustration is on International C License where you use that shitty handling Farrari. I swear to god.. that 3rd place car that you need to get silver is so far ahead and is so god damn fast. D:

[Eliseos]

Yeah, the license tests. I'll do a run on that IC one again and see if I can give any tips, I remember the car was really touchy when braking at an angle. I think I silver'd it but I'll make sure.

I remember for the first part you have to pass a bunch of the cars within that first turn. I usually got on the left side so I didn't have to worry about running into the back of anyone.

Yeah, I could usually pass like.. the first three cars on the first turn and then I get into 4th/5th by time you hit that super sharp turn. My problem is after that, actually catching the guy in third, since that's all you need for silver. I can bronze it no problem. I have I think.. 4 Gold/5 Silver on IC. So that's no big deal to me, really. It's just that damn race! So frustrating.

As far as the Rally Car special event goes, I've been close to golding the gravel/road ones a couple times so I don't think that'll be an issue. I Gold'd the Snow run on my second try so that was fun.

[Synbios]

How do you get a Veyron, is it a reward? I've looked at I can't find it as a buyable car.

Watching the example video, and from my own runs, you'll have to do a lot of late braking to catch up to the third place car. It seems the longer it takes to catch that group, the more ground they gain. You can take third on the first lap, near the last chicane by the coliseum, he doesn't take that line very well at all. You can bump the sides of cars if you're going slow enough to where it won't DQ you. You can try to bump some of the cars to the side to gain more ground. Also watch out for the inner guards on the turns, they can cause the car to go crazy when you're trying to brake, especially at high speeds.

Yeah..i tried that and best i could do is 4th. :/ Sure I should be satisfied and move on, but eff that. I want all gold and silvers, no bronze prz.

[Eliseos]

I'm the same way lol, I'm pissed about that bronze on the S-license. It's my only one

The only thing is to really keep trying, once you figure this one out the rest aren't as bad.

[Ragnell]

FINALLY FOUND A CAR I CAN USE FOR THE DAYTONA TRACK, TIME 2 FARM

[Ragnell]

THANK YOU NISSAN SKYLINE GT-R SPEC V

What race is that?

Is there another race as bad as IC10? Or are they all even worse? D:

[Eliseos]

For the last in each, the only one that I think is comparable is S-4, the Tokyo R246. The IB and IA aren't too bad, as the cars handle much better. Honda Insight for IB, and a Gallardo for IA.

Ah.. how does it go? IC > IB > IA > S > whatever? and thank god. I fucking hate this Ferrari

Also, did you gold IC-10?

[Eliseos]

Yeah, IC->IB->IA->S. I only silvered IC-10. The Countach in first was way too ahead of me when I finished second to even want to try again lol. Once I start trying for gold in all licenses I'll get back to it.

[Akiyama]

Yeah.. well that guy in third can eat a dick. I either barely tap the back of a car and get DQ'd or just can't catch him D:

[Eliseos]

That's one of the worst things about how they changed licenses. It would be so much less frustrating if it were just time trials like they used to be. Granted, they'd be a lot harder to gold, but it might be worth it.

[Eliseos]

Oh and to the person asking about the Bugatti, it randomly showed up in my used car list for 2 million credits. If I had another mil I'd buy it instantly
