Anyone else think this car is a bit over hyped?
None of that racing record was particularly special nor the drivers who drove it. It's not particularly good looking and gives more of a 'kit car' vibe than something that was crafted in the vein of a true classic GT racer.
I think it's just been caught up in the outrageous prices 'classic' cars seem to fetch these days.
This. They claimed the victory in 2000, finished 3rd in 2001-2002, 2nd in 2003. After that though, they seemed to have been plagued by reliability issues. Only 6 races in 2004, finished only 2 of those. Was at the full schedule in 2005, but when it wasn't getting into the Top 10, it was being retired. Only 2 races in 2006, 1 retire, 1 DNS. I think the car was done after that.I think the did well considering that it was a small team. It raced on till to 2000s if I remember in the FiA GT championship in Europe and was always fighting for the top ten, always got to love the underdog.
the exact car.

It's not much to look at but there's plenty to like about it:
A Portuguese.Say, is there a single word demonym for someone from Portugal? Three Brazilians and a...Portugander?

So the Portuguese speak Portuguese and are called Portugueses en masse? That's just weird.A Portuguese.
Tiff Is a Legend.I suppose that's nice for those to whom that sort of thing is appealing, but that isn't me. I'd much rather an X300 Jag (or even an XJ40) with that V12, despite the maintenance headaches associated with it. But then a Series II Daimler Double-Six coupé would be a special treat, particularly in the configuration I'd prefer, which could easily rival the Lister in price.

No, just Portuguese no matter how many.So the Portuguese speak Portuguese and are called Portugueses en masse? That's just weird.
Like fish!No, just Portuguese no matter how many.
No, like sheep, or Lego.Like fish!
Fair. I'm so accustomed to referring to fish as "fish" in the plural sense that I forget "fishes" is acceptable and even commonplace elsewhere.No, like sheep, or Lego.
Why? So i can finish last place at GT AllStars Super Speedway race.....
EVERY TIME
Great. Now i wanna play gt2 again.
Updates are nice and all for gt sport but it just dosnt feel like a gt game. I want to win cars and grind to get money to upgrade my car by specific part. Gt5 was the last fun one for me. Gt6 was nice and could buy everycar on demand but couldnt win any cars and thats what gt was all about to me. Building a garage by winning races
