I will totally leave it up to you that are racing.
I will bring up one thing about why I started Cap racing. It was to put the emphasis on road cars. That was the reason for the 2000pp cap and for the tire regs only using sports tires. I do feel that if we gravitate to using high pp cars with sticky tires that we will loose a bit of the charm that is PP racing.
That being said have a blast on this the last night of GT 5 Cap racing. I am looking forward to some new cars, tacks and of course the new physics.

I agree Joby. But some of the caged animals in our family wanted some heavy machinery for the last night of GT5.
Back to our original programming next week
That is IF I can find time to earn enough credits to buy 4 cars appropriate to race next week. If not, I will still host and commentate!

Possibly we could shrink next week and just race 2 cars if everyone doesn't have 4 by then?

Assuming the PP is low I think we will be ok. I would suggest keeping it under 1600 plus with the split it should not be to hard to prioritize spending on a few key cars.
something like a 900/700 split should be pretty easy. But I will leave the numbers up to the winner. Have fun tonight.

You have to buy a fit and that leaves you with 13k. There are prize cars to be won and credits that go along with those wins. There also appear to be seasonal events from the start. Some will also have the anniversary cars to pull from. If it comes down to it, we could allow the power limiter to be used to even it up a bit.
All of this is based on looking at the leaked gameplay details. It is possible that none of what I just said will apply after the day 1 patch or it's possible that it may all apply.

I heard that was a rumor and is not the case. Hopefully we can choose which car we buy but the Fit wouldn't be too horrible.
I've been giving my wife a countdown for a week now, haha. She has a baby shower to go to Saturday afternoon so that will be my best window for maximizing game play.
Ford RS200 '84 is 160,000 credits!
I pre-ordered from Game Stop so I should have the 15th anniversary cars if all else fails.
How was last night?

I finally watched the rest of that first hour and in the first 5 races which are 2 to 4 minutes each we will be back over the 30 k we started with. They won easily with the fit in those races. If you want to save some cash, the next set of races is 450 max PP. You could use one of the anniversary cars for that. They bought an RX8 and won very easily.

Since it's GT6, the person who finished closest to 6th last night should pick everything 
In related news, I believe I have fixed my problems with left foot braking from last night. I've switched back to my low chair and have spent about an hour today in GT5 doing some rallying and haven't had any issues so it must have just been driving position

I think I have the spreadsheet working with the GT6 car list and the new known PP. If you see anything off please let me know.
Also It would be helpful if people would list the prize cars that they win for events. This should help people not waste money on cars we can win. We should be able to figure out pretty quickly if you only win one car per event and whether that car is set or random.
