I've deleted my points tally but it'll still calculate when you add your own.
A lot of the circuits are still missing (as you will see) thats just because I haven't got round to doing all races.
I should point out that I created it to help me build up as big an A-Spec total as possible - the intention was to keep a note of my scores in each race and go back to them after reaching 100% - I could look at the list and see which races I had a low score on and redo it. Keeping a note of the car was so I would know how much to "de-modify" the car I had used previously.
hope it helps
**oh fudge the clicky's broke !!! ** please wait...
**update**
I'm 2 races short somewhere - I have 555 races including the 34 missions - which gives a possible top score of 112,700.
I'll have to find out if I'm missing any... at least I'll have the opportunity to complete the circuits list.
route_66Wow, this threads really taken off! Good see so many people doing good stuff (Thanks to Moloch especially for the summaries and Messiah's spreadsheet sounds good, saves me from doing it!)
Right, I've been off for a little while working out some of the more.....hardcore races and if you're brave and really want all those points you might like to try these:
Sarthe 24hr 1 - Stock R390 GT1, R1 tires - 200pts (all group C/LMP opponents)
Sarthe 24hr 2 - Black R390 Gt1, ballast 200, R1 tires - 200pts (all group C/LMP opponents)
GT World Champ - Mercedes CLK-GTR, R1 tires, 100 ballast - 200pts
Formula GT - Audi R8, oil change, R1 tires - 200pts (Really not as hard as I thought it would be)
Keep it up.
jdwGreat news on the Formula GT! Audi R8 is a great car. The Bentley is close to the R8 in points given (getting a few less)... is it still 200p?
Old ManAll five Speedster Cup races are 200 a-spec points a piece in a stock Speedster NA or Turbo. By stock I mean oil change and nothing else.
And if someone says they won one of these races, I'll need to see a video and some kind of proof their car was stock. I couldn't even catch up to the fifth place car with a stock Speedster Turbo! IMHO, these five races, especially Infineon and Seattle, are some of the most challenging in the game.
Also, thanks for starting this thread. I like racing, not blowing by the AI cars before the first turn and winning by a mile, not, as Old Geezer so aptly puts it, bringing a gun to a knife fight. So, I'm beginning to pay attention to a-spec points as a means for keeping the race competitive, and, if folks respond and post, this thread may help me to do this more efficiently.
route_66Yeah, the Bentley gets 200pts (so it should it pretty much IS an R8 under the body in IRL)
RenesisEvoNO IT IS NOT!!!!
The 2001 Bentley had the engine from the Audi R8. Thats it - that's where the similarity ends. 2002-3 they ran a larger capacity engine, designed and built by Bentley. Everything else was designed by Bentley. No quick-change rear end, no fancy German tech - the Bentley was built the British way, to last the entire 24hrs without needing to have bits replaced. And thats what it did. Go to www.mulsannescorner.com to see more if you dont believe it. There's far more difference than just a roof.
Look before you leap...
mkayI have some questions:
What are the best care to take (in term of A-Spec points) to compete in World Classic Cup and in the Tuning Car Champ. (in Professional events)?
I'm not talking about 200-point-race, but something near without being too difficult to win.
Thank you
hispeedFor the tuning car champ you're not gonna have an easy high A-spec point win. Was offered 200p with Amuse S2000 R1(stock), got busted. Won with Amuse Carbon R(stock), got a lousy 8p.
route_66the world classic series is a pain for A-spec points because the Cobra and Buick are much faster than everything else and when they aren't there the Merc Gullwing is much faster than everything else. Keep resetting until they aren't in the lineup (this takes ages) and then use whatever you like. Otherwise you'll need a modded Ginetta (really modded) or a muscle car (try a vette) for a tough race against the Cobra etc. Without those three, try the Alfa duetto or an ancient skyline and you should get big points with bad tires.
route_66Man you really love that car don't you? I feel a challenge coming on..........Amuse S2000 R1 (I haven't driven it yet) versus tuning car cup........Did you get busted by a lot? Am I going to find i've got no chance? the HPA golf and Yellow Bird are the main competition and the Ruf isn't allways there...........I'll get back to you.
mkayAlso, do you have an idea of a car that I can use @ World Classic Cup (Pro Events)?
mkayHelp me please...
mkayHelp me please...
jdwMore 200s or close to 200s...
Turbo - 200p with 22B-STi (racing muffler, typical susp/dt ups and S3s) against Bathurst, Esprit HC, S4, Infini III, 3000GT.
For some reason, it was surprisingly easy. The finishes were all close but only because the Esprit decided to start racing near the end and caught up to me at the finish.
Axolot2Great great thread, but I see a lot of speculation as to what A-Spec points are, what they are there for and leads back to my original thoughts while reading the 'instruction book' that came with the game: where's all the documentation on this stuff? A-Spec points - raced a 200 point game using my Cien against touring cars and won, raced a 1 point game with the same Cien in an American event and got pasted (almost perfect laps run, not walls, never went off the road), how are they calculated and what-not? No offense to any of the hard work put in on the guides, but we shouldn't be having to search the internet and forums for information that should be included with the game!
This game needs a lot of help in terms of documentation of features:
tuning settings, on-screen icons (what do the dots in B-Spec map next to your best time mean - orangish dots only seen occasionally).
By far the best GT game but spend some $$ and properly document stuff,
