I'll probably give this a miss then. I prefer a choice of car.

[Rossco]

Wooo! Wheres the scoreboard though!?

[MonkeyWrench]

Not sure I even have that car, will need to check later. Anyone know if that one is available as default?

coming shortly

think so, couldn't see it on the prize car list

[MonkeyWrench]

Still...I'll need to buy it and it's probably in the c60,000,000+ mark (anyone with the JPN version confirm?). I know for one I don't have the funds to buy it (used it all to buy the WedsSport Celica for the last challenge), and the people who have recently bought the PAL version probably won't have earned enough to buy it either.

[VR46]

meant to post last week but just thought again; I have a PAL 100% game save with all the prize cars and trillions of credits if anyone ever wants to send me their memory card

[Bassman]

It is 53,055,000 which is 530,550 in the American/PAL/Korean version. Assuming the same price everywhere, which is not necessarily the case as the Audi Quattro '82 was a prize in the Japanese version, 80,000 in the American and over 90,000 in the PAL version.

I have a 100% Japanese save with all the cars I can send as .max or .xps format if necessary.

I can make a PAL save with loads of money 100% complete though the cars would need to be bought (it would have the license and mission hall cars). I can email as .max or .xps.

[MonkeyWrench]

Unfortunately I have no way of transfering the saves (other than sending my memory card to you of course). I will have to duck out of this challenge then cause I don't have time gather that amount of cash.

[Bassman]

Just do the Easy Costa di Amalfi Special Condition race series a couple of times that ought to pay for it. Over 27,000,000 a time including the car sale.

Or the almost 90,000,000 including car sale from the German Touring Car Championship in the European Hall.

Dear God that's a lot of money to spend for this week's race. I've got about 25k in the bank and I'm 2.9% in, so I can't see me being able to afford the car this week, let alone compete. I thought the plan was to restrict ourselves to picking cars available from the start for single-car races?

[MonkeyWrench]

Yeah I guess I'll set my b-spec driver going whilst having dinner later.

[mid]

Does your B-Spec driver do anything useful, then? Mine fails to win even 10-point races the few times I've tried him.

[MonkeyWrench]

Slap him in a vastly superior car and he'll be running rings around them.

[mid]

There's vastly superior, and VASTLY superior, though. Surely he should be easily winning the 8-12 point races I've given him a chance with, at least, rather than just running himself off the road every other time he tries to pass anyone?
