The Ferrari 250 GT is faster than the Jaguar E Type when tuned for the "Cobra Ferrari Wars" 844kg, 460bhp - so if you have one it makes sense to use it when you can - the Arrakis Speedshop tune by Feydrautha is very good for this car.
I don't know if you can win the overall championship - you missed a few races. I will check when I have more time and will send you a PM about it.
I don't want to run a rally event, because I am not good at rallying and neither are some of my friends - I will leave that to other people in the GTPlanet community.

John - just to clarify your car choices
Event 1 - World Classics = Toyota 2000 GT - Max 315bhp, Min 1,160kg (Toyota will reach 288bhp with oil change).
Event 2 - Cobra Ferrari = Ferrari 250 GT OR Jaguar E Type - Max 460bhp, Min 844kg.
Event 3 - One Make = Lotus Elan - Max 185bhp, Min 600kg.
Event 4 - Senna Tribute = WSR, F3 - Untuned apart from oil change.
Hope the above removes any confusion.

@TheJohnG (and all) A slight error by Sick - I think minimum weight above should read 844kg (post now updated)
Here's an edited list from one of his previous posts showing the minimum weight achievable (allowed) on the cars.
Cobra - 902kg
Ferrari 250 GT0 - 844kg (ballast added)
Corvette C2 Z06 Race Car - 1168kg
Ferrari 250 GT - 844kg Time
Corvette C2 Road Car - 1122kg
Jaguar E Type - 1021kg
We get to drive the various machines so any weight advantages balance out during the season.

No problem.
As long as your glasses don't steam up during the races!
Hi Max! Good luck with that C2 Race Car!

For anyone having difficulty setting up or driving their classic car - some old cars were tricky to drive - but probably few were as difficult as the early Porsche 911. Here the Roman Caresani 1965 2 litre 911 running on period correct Dunlop CR65 Cross Ply tyres attempts a qualifying lap at a busy Spa. Ignore the usual ignorant comments on Youtube - there is nothing wrong with the car and the man does know how to drive (lap record holder).
Thought this might make Max glad he's in a Corvette C2 Race Car and not an early Porsche 911 (I'd still love one in the game)!
NB - if you are curious about why he holds his finger on the mirror - that is to stop the glass vibrating to get a better view and check whether a faster car is approaching.

Well, don't worry! When I get a new PS3 and tested the specs, I will run an rally championship...
That's why I came back in last sunday because I need to earn 25 points each round for the championship. If I get the wins in the rest of the rounds, maybe I can win the championship!
Anyways, my choices are already decided. So, let's see what happens in next races of FCW with E-Type. Maybe it can win some races.

Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart and many other top drivers raced the Jaguar E Type against the Cobra's and Ferrari's.
It is great that you have chosen it and it will be very interesting to watch your duel with Lex in his Cobra.

Race Report for the Main Event - Ferrari Cobra Wars - to follow!

Race Report - Ferrari Cobra Wars
The plan was to replicate the entry list for the Guards International Trophy race held at Brands Hatch in the summer of 1963, in particular Grand Touring Cars over 2,500cc complying with Appendix J (1963) Group 3. We were able to do this with the exception of the Works Aston Martin's - come on PD give us an Aston Martin DB4GT. TVR Griffith 200's competed in 1965 so we also need those PD!
In the 1963 Brands Hatch race many famous drivers were entered including Graham Hill, Jack Sears, David Piper, Bruce McLaren, Mike Salmon, Roger Penske and Dick Protheroe.
The overall race win (Prototype GT Cars) went to Roger Penske driving the Zerex Special Cooper powered by a 2,750cc Climax FPF L4 engine. His qualifying time was 1:47.4 (Roger later formed Team Penske which to date has won the Indy 500 fifteen times).
Winner of the class for GT Cars over 2,500cc and an incredible 5th overall was Gentleman Jack Sears driving a Ferrari 250 GTO. His qualifying time was 1:51.4 (Jack won the BSCC in 1958 in an Austin Westminster and 1963 in a Ford Galaxie)
Our slightly less famous drivers achieved these results:
1st - Lex Lathor - Shelby Cobra
2nd - Flaco - Chevrolet Corvette C2 Race Car
3rd - Emotional Rekz - Ferrari 250 GT
4th - Sick Cylinder - Shelby Cobra
5th - IfAndOr - Ferrari 250 GT
6th - Maximusmonster - Chevrolet Corvette C2 Race Car
7th - SmileyWRX - Jaguar E Type
8th - Harsk - Jaguar E Type
9th - Racercad - Jaguar E Type
NB The Ferrari 250 GTO will be in action in future rounds, but the price of 20m credits is a bar to ownership for many players.
The Jaguar E Type results were disappointing - PD we need the factory lightweight E Type in the game - as driven by Dick Protheroe and a handful of other drivers, this had aluminium body panels and a lightweight engine.
Above Smoky start. Below Emo has a bobble in the red 250 GT, despite running ballast in the rear.
Above and below gaggle of classics.
Above Sick in Cobra speeds past IfAndOr (Orange 250 GT) and into the gravel - below.
Above and below Emo had a lot of moments!
IfAndOr was on for a podium and running just behind Flaco's Corvette when he spun on the final lap.
Above the winner, Lex lathor completes his pit stop in blue Cobra as Flaco enters the pit. There was close racing and battles throughout the field - below Max and Smiley cross the finish together.

OK.... I choosed the E Type because I thought that E Type was faster than Ferrari, but I was wrong. So, I will drive a Ferrari 250 GT (I have 2 of those worth 7 million credits) for next two rounds because I saw that is faster than E Type.
