True, but not in all races is possible to aquire 200 pts. So Max A-Spec points is not theoretical 113100 pts but 111813 pts.

Just finished Super speedway on Formula GT Series....

Ran that with the Sauber on R1 and 180 Weight. MoV 26.xx secs. You'll find High Speed Ring easy too. I used the R8 or R2/R1 MoV > 42 secs.
Both races netted me 200 pts.

Does A-Spec points affect your game percentage? If it doesnt I won't care, if it does I will care because I am working at 100%. So far I am at 86.2%
 
Nope, A-Spec counts towards nothing in terms of game completition (effectively counts towards nothing at all apart from looking good).

I've got 100% but only just ove 31,000 points

Super Speedway 150 miles => 200 pts

Finaly Victory today....!!! :)

Oposition was:

Peugeot 905 ( pits onse on lap 50)
Nissan R89C Race Car ( pits 3 times on laps 30,60,90)
Nissan R92CP Race Car ( pits 3 times on laps 30,60,90)
Sauber Mercedes C9 Race Car ( pits 3 times on laps 32,64,96)
Audi R8 Race Car ( pits twice on laps 36,72)

I was driving Mazda 787B, used (no oil change) =>725HP, R1 tyres, 90kg ballast, Transmission set to 14... (Don't forget to buy Rigidity and Body refresher like I did for first 2 times. It makes whole diference)
Pit: Lap 34, 68

All in all the race is stupid and boring. But 200 pts is 200 pts...:)

Dagnabit, but congrats. I don't get it. You say those Nissans pit at lap 30. Strange, but I'm sure I've seen them go much further than that in my races. What are you using? A wheel and pedals or a dual-shock? Darn, I'm so vexed that I can't get 200 or even 100. What are your lap times on slightly worn tires? Can you hang with the lead cars without being lapped?

When race started I was begining to catch them. When I came to Peugeot I smacked him in to the wall so he spun. Continued my race using draft with others when possible. At the lap 50 stupid Peugeot missed the pits and left standing there for 2 or 3 laps ( AI ???) ...:) When I saw that happening I knew I was going to win. About racing lines, smaller corner was wallriding all the time and bigger one was regular for first 20-25 laps of the tyre set untill tyres holds and then again wallriding until pit...:)

All in all the race is stupid and boring. But 200 pts is 200 pts...:)

Congrtas Fizio. Your race sounds like a replay of mine, except the Peugeot didn't mess up for me.
 
Did the Suzuka 1000km endurance race yesterday. Used the Suzuki GSR for 200 easy points. Needed the stage 2 turbo though, with Super Hard tyres. Would have been easier if I had not paid several excursions into the sand!
The 172 laps took just over 6 hours and needed a lot of concentration.
It would have been easier if PD had included a SAVE option for us gamers who have other things to do with our lives! I do hope they include it in GT5.
Happy racing,

I'm planning to do the Nurburgring 24 hours somewhere in the next couple of weeks. I want to take a 'normal' street car for a 200 pts race. I was thinking of the Supra RZ because, well, I just love that car. Right now I'm testing numerous setups to get my laptimes down, I'm running consistent 7.14.xxx-s on S2 tyres whith 328 (replay) BHP.

My guess is that should be enough for 200 offered points, but will 7.14.xxx be fast enough.

Does any of you remember laptimes and pitschedules for this race?
 
I did Tokyo and New York for 200 pts in FGT Series...
I used, as sugested, Audi R8 with stage 3 turbo, R1 tyres and some ballast.

Tokyo:
Race is 60 laps and AI is pitting on every 9 laps. I pitted on lap 15, 30 45...
Wallriding in 4th turn to the right (suposed to go in 4th gear) and in left downhill turn just before 180 degrees right which leeds to start finish line helps pretty much.

Guess what happened to me on first attempt on Tokyo... Race is progressing nice and I'm in the lead... Lap 45 I'm entering the pits for the last time smelling the victory and while the crew is changing tyres I accidently touched gas pedal which stopped refueling... :ouch: :nervous: :ouch:
So at lap 55 of 60 I run out the fuel...:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I had to do the race again....:indiff:

New York:
Legit race, 74 laps. Used same car, just at the first pit I changed front tyres to R2. It doesn't change total points aquired and helps alot in lap times. R2 on front lasts equaly as R1 on back...
AI pits on every 10 laps. I pitted on lap 15, 30, 45, 60.
This time I did't make a mistake like on Tokyo...:)

You could have started with R2s on the front - a-spec points are determined on the rear tyres only - EDIT - NOT - see edit below. Well done on Tokyo - it was the hardest 200 point FGT race I did (using the FGT) - I still have a few to go but will not be using the FGT for those.

EDIT: it has been too long since I tried to get any a-spec points - Fizio and SjefGielen are of course right - front tyres are all that matters - I thought it was strange that someone with so many points would not have known :dunce:

???? Rear tyres ???? I always thought it was based on the front tyres! That's why Route66 uses combinations like N1/N3

You are thinking right... It's front tyres who determins A-spec points...
BTW you can test it and see for yourself...

I tried my Amuse S2000 R1 yesterday with R1's on front and R2's on the rear. Man it handled a lot worse than with R1's all around! I'm going for R1's (200 pts) now and maybe change to R2's after 4 or 5 laps to catch up with the Vectra and Audi.

I've found a line-up which offers 200 pts, not sure if it is beatible but I'll try and let you know later.

My car: Amuse S2000 R1 - 313 Bhp (309 in replay) on RSH tyres
Versus this line-up:
- Vauxhall Vectra Super Touring Car
- Audi A4 Touring Car
- Casco Subaru Advan Impreza
- Toyota Superautobacs Apex MR-S
- Nissan C-West Razo Silvia

The Subary, Toyota and Nissan are no trouble at all, but on R1's I can just keep up with the Vauxhall and Audi, have to drive realy flawless laps though and the Vauxhall pits after 5 laps, the Audi after 6 or 7 :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous:

Maybe on R2's I can make the difference needed, but I'm still not sure.
 
This MG series is giving me a headache...I can get 129pts offered...but due to these stupid Normal tyres I lose basically all cornering ability, and if I slow more to compensate I lose an immense amount of time...so the most I can actually win is about 85 with Sports tyres...hints? tips?

Same with the Aston Martin festival...200pts on Autumn Ring and HK...and I can't get anywhere near..why? Yup...Normal tyres...feels more like I'm running on flats with these things x.x

DB7 N1N3 100weight on fuji (cut corner) 200
HK N3 W200 171
AR same 151 is the best Ive been able to do. N2 and N1s kill.
------
MGF managed 115 on N3 + W200 but that's it.
Must be some pretty good drivers out there who can manage 200pts.
Afraid cant help you other than keep trying different tactics and lines and dont be afraid to push them out where possible.

Lap times mean something, but can you go long enough on those tires without having to pit every couple of laps? I would think you'd be working your tires pretty hard staying up with the Touring Racers, but hey, you might have the juice. The Honda I used let me snooze to a 200 point win, but it was a Race vehicle and I still could only equal the main touring car in tire wear. The Honda I used ran about 7:08 with good tire wear, good fuel use, no chassis wear and next to no engine wear. I might still have it on replay. I'd sure like to see you take that street car and win. Good luck.
 
Tried my best, but I've given up on 200ing Aston and MG ones, not too fussed about A-Spec any more, except that I'd like to get near 75,000.

Respectively (S1 tyres all round)

MG - 85/85/84/84/83

Aston 200/157/154 (there ya go AMG, said you could do 151, there's 3 extra points for you on S1s, you'll still need a bit of NOS though)


Just got all 1,000 points from the NR-A Roadster Cup. Used the MX-5 1600 NR-A (J) '04 with S1/S2, NOS (set at 60 for race 1 & 5, 70 for race 2, 3 & 4), Racing Exhaust, 200 Ballast. Also had ORG suspension, Full Tranny and Triple Clutch + Weight Reduc S3

VS

Mazda MX-5 S-Special Type I (J) &#8217;95 (gives the most trouble, except Race 5...it can't handle Trial Mount)
Mazda MX-5 SR-Limited (J) &#8217;97
Mazda MX-5 1800 RS (J) &#8217;00
Mazda MX-5 J-Limited II (J) &#8217;93
Mazda MX-5 V-Special Type II (J) &#8217;93


Qualifying isn't esential for this set up, but helps, wherever you start you'll likely need a bit of NOS. Qualifying in pole for Trial Mountain (race 5) is easy...qualified with a good 7.503 gap.

Fairly easy 1,000 points overall though.


Decided not to look over what other people have done and try some stuff myself (inc the MX-5 races). Working on the Club "RE" races with a Mazda RX-7 INFINI III (FC, J) '90 used, old oil, S1/S2, Full Tran, Triple Clutch, Racing Brakes & Controller, Weight Reduction S1.

200 on Leguna Seca - 211BHP (settings screen) Large Intercooler, Racing Chip, 0 Ballast vs 5 RX-7
200 on Autumn Ring - 211BHP (settings screen) Large Intercooler, Racing Chip, 0 Ballast vs 4 RX-7 & L10A/B
200 on Clubman Reverse - 220BHP; Turbo S1, Racing Chip, 200 Ballast vs 2 RX-7, 2 RX-8, 1 L10A/B (may have to wall ride the first big left hander...or maybe you're good enough to win without that)
200 on Opera Paris - 220BHP; Turbo S1, Racing Chip, 200 Ballast vs 3 RX-7, 1 RX-8, 1 L10A/B
200 on Suzuka - 220BHP; Turbo S1, Racing Chip, 200 Ballast vs 5 RX-7


Not sure if said MX-5 and RX-7 have been brought up as 200ers for these two series, but if not there you go, two more.

Thanks man, I did a couple of laps yesterday evening, I can get decent laptimes but I think you might be right about the number of laps. I doubt I can get more then 3 laps out of the R2's. But I got my laptimes down to around 7:08-7:09 on them and that might just be enough to outrun them. It sure as h#ll looks great, my road legal S2000 versus a full DTM grid :)

I'm gonna try, it's gonna be :nervous:.

@SirBerra : BTW which Honda did you use?

I'm fairly certain I used a mildly tuned Honda 2000 LM Race Car for 200 A-spec points. (probably ballasted and on R1s, low-dowforce or whatever to make 200 points)
I remember I had experimented with a Lotus Super Elise and I thought, man, this street-style baby will kill them Tourers, but that Elise ate tires far quicker than I could imagine for what seems like a light car. So I just started looking through my garage for possibilities and chose the Honda. I don't know where it came from, whether I bought it or won it. My garage has about 700 cars and I can't keep track. They just show up or I go on buying binges buying lots of cars at once. I figure many cars might be of some use now or later. Anyway, the Honda makes the race a breeze and is a terrific car to drive. It has a slower top speed than the fastest Tourers, but goes around curves and over bumps like a banshee.

Update:
I was hoping I'd come up against the Chap 2D, but it didn't happen. There was only one fast Audi or Mercedes Tourer and the rest of the field were downright dogs. I think the Tourer was running about 7:10s or 7:12s. I rarely pay attention to times. If I can pull away, it doesn't really matter how fast the other vehicle is running. I think the fastest Tourer was an ABT something, but the other cars were like what SjefGielen posted above.

With any luck you should do it with lap times of 7'8 and 7'9...I'm watching mine go by now on B-Spec and the Abt Audi TT is doing rough 7'22s, Alfa is doing 7'27s. So it that helps your confidence any.

Great. 👍 I think I'll go for that one too, the Amuse is not very tyre friendly and I hate pitting every 3 or 4 laps, I'm aiming for every 5 maybe 6 laps. Can you recall the line-up for that one? Or your fastest competitor?
 
This is what I found in this thread:

Nurburgring 24 Hours Endurance :

BMW 320i touring (R1, ballast) – 200

Opera performance S2000 with new oil stage 1 tune race exhaust R1 tyres 173 ballast with gear ratio set to 10.
Aginst this line up which was number 6
Amemiya Asparadrink RX7 (JGTC)
Vauxhall Calibra super touring car
ABT Audi TT-R touring car
ASL Arta Garaiya (JGTC)
Alfa Romeo 155 2.5 V6 Ti

Amuse S2000 R1 and install this:
Tranny, Gear Ratio 10, TCS/ASM off, Super Hard, Turbo Stage1
 
Euro Classics.

It's a shame you have to go through lots of resets to find a decent lineup that does not contain the Rabbit 427 or the turtle Fiat 500 / 2CV.

I took the Alfa Romeo Guilia Sprint Speciale '63 and just kept entering races that didn't seem to have rabbits or turtles.
One lineup finally made sense and I made sure I was in Championship mode to qualify.
The Nurb and Fuji 80 are a no go for me to obtain 200, at least not with this line-up. I managed 130 and 154.

On Opera, Suzuka and Deep Forest I managed to net 200 each with clean races.
I was on N3s and 190 weight + NOS.
The lineup consisted of the
1 Ginetta G4
2 Jag E type (semi rabbit)
4 MB SL300
and a couple of Alfas (2 & 5) with long names.

I thought there would be a constant repeat of the lineups if I fired up the PS2 everytime and selected the same car and set up but there seems to be some random generator at work in the Classics.
First time around the above lineup was #13 today it was something like #20 or so.
You do need a lot of patience to keep resetting each and every time.

The only way I could get 200 points for the Aston Martin series was to wear out the oil in a DB7 - with completely worn oil you can use N3s all round with 180 ballast - the race is not too difficult - you need two DB9s or two Vantages in the lineup for 200.
