Since GT6 has an insane amount of Skylines ready to be bought new whenever you want, I thought I'd do something I always wanted to do in a Gran Turismo game: Win as much events with Skylines as possible. I have already finished the game once, which means I will not get any price cars, nor do I have to start with the Honda Fit.
CARS ALLOWED:
- Skylines made by companies other than Nissan (Blitz, Mine's, Amuse and Nismo)
- Cars based on Skylines (such as the Stagea) or succesors to Skylines (such as the GT-R R35)
- Cars that have Skyline in it's name
- Cars with Skyline engines
Lets begin!
NOVICE CLASS
BOUGHT Nissan SKYLINE GTS-t Type M (R32) '89
The fastest Skyline under 30.000 credits. It easily won both of the Sunday Cup races and is pretty easy to drive.
WON Sunday Cup High Speed Ring
Very easy. All of the AI cars were overtaken on the first lap.
WON Sunday Cup Autumn Ring Mini
Another very easy race. I'm beginning to understand why they made us pick the Honda Fit. All cars were - again - overtaken within a lap.
WON Amateur Cup Brands Hatch Indy
All of these very simple races make me wonder why the opponent cars aren't chosen to have about the same PP as my car to be competitive but instead are pre-selected. It would be a lot less boring than smoking all of the competition.
WON Amateur Cup Grand Valley East
The car drives pretty good at Grand Valley. I think I'll use Grand Valley as a testing track for my Skylines.
BOUGHT OZ Quaranta
The standard rims looked really ugly, so I replaced them with these. Made the car look ten times better 👍
WON Amateur Cup Willow Springs Big Willow
Except for my new rims, there was nothing special going on.
WON Novice Championship Brands Hatch Indy
My first of two trips to Brands Hatch in this championship. The opponents are getting harder to beat, though it still is really, really easy.
WON Novice Championship Autumn Ring
Autumn Ring, with it's pretty orange and yellow trees looks like a park. Which is good, because this race was a walk in the park.
WON Novice Championship Brands Hatch GP
Definitely one of the more beautiful races. Managed to take some sweet pictures. And best of all: the AI was even a little competitive - this time it took a full 1.5 laps to overtake all of them!
WON Novice Championship
After finishing the events in the Novice Class, I have more than tripled my money and bought a reasonably priced Skyline. Pretty easy so far, though I'm still wondering how I am going to do the National B karting championship with a Skyline.
NATIONAL B CLASS
WON Freshman Cup Tsukuba Circuit
The car is back on track after a car wash and overpowered as always. I do notice the opponents getting better and using better cars. I might need a faster Skyline in the future.
WON Freshman Cup Silverstone Stowe
I wasn't that familair with the track, but that didn't stop me from being victorious yet again. Also saw the first AI Skyline; an '87 GTS-R.
WON Freshman Cup SSR5 Clubman
The first night race and the car did fine. Had an interesting battle with the GTS-R too in the second lap.
WON Clubman Cup 400 Silverstone National
I have picked my next car: The 2003 350GT Coupe. I will use it for a couple of events in the National B class, and maybe one or two in the National A class. Anyway, the race was another walk in the park.
WON Clubman Cup 400 Rome Circuit
The 400 pp thing is a lie. My car is 410 pp and should be just a little bit faster than the AI, but it's not. There was an Abarth 500 driving around. Regardless of it being a fast car, it is not 400 pp.
WON Clubman Cup 400 Autumn Ring
Had a (very short) three-way battle between me, an Alfa Romeo Spider and a Honda Civic. Also it's for now the last race of this car. I'll probably use it once more for the 5 minute races, but for now, I'm gonna buy my second Skyline.
BOUGHT Nissan SKYLINE Coupe 350GT '03
Though it isn't really that much faster than our older Skyline (3 seconds faster at Grand Valley) it is an upgrade, and more cars are always interesting. And I like the way it looks, even though it is yet another standard.
BOUGHT OZ Racing Italia 150
I did change the rims though, because the old ones looked hideous, just like on the other car. I chose rims that match the grill of the car. I'll upload a picture soon.
WON City Trials Circuito de Madrid
The 350GT drives much better on city tracks than on race tracks. Had a fun time driving it in Madrid. The AI car selection was still stupid (who drives an E-Type in the city?) but more challenging. For almost a full lap I was following the NSX in front, just to overtake him in the final roundabout.
WON City Trials Tokyo R246
Finally a tough race. And again I overtook the number one in the final corner. I don't think that my old Skyline would have made it.
WON City Trials London Circuit
I honestly didn't think I would win this race because the car is pretty heavy, but it actually was easier than the other two races.
WON 5-Minute Races Autumn Ring Mini
I took out the old Type M again, hoping that it might be harder (read: that it would take longer) to overtake all of the opponents. It was not. After exactly 2.5 minutes everyone was overtaken. Race took 8 laps.
WON 5-Minute Races Tsukuba Circuit
The weirdest thing just happened. I was racing against an identical Skyline on the back straight, and I was swerving a little bit to overtake him and he was blocking me, and suddenly he stopped blocking completely and started driving in a straight line, and then his car jumped back a couple of metres. Weird... Race took 5 laps.
WON 5-Minute Races Rome Circuit
The very last race for the Type M, and it won the race very easily. Still overpowered as always.
TUNED for 6450 credits
Stage 1 weight reduction and sports computer. I lost the first race of the FR Challenge and made the car lose some weight and made it faster. Should be able to win it now.
WON FR Challenge Grand Valley East
I did! The Skyline beat an M3 Coupe and an Aston Martin. And again, a Skyline which drives great at Grand Valley. Did have to block the M3 at the straights though.
WON FR Challenge Trial Mountain
The first time I drove on Trial Mountain (now my favorite track) I used the R34 GT-R. Overtaking the BMW M3 GTR reminded me of that
WON FR Challenge Silverstone GP
I really recommend doing this event with the slightly tuned 350GT. Overtaking opponents such as a Mustang Boss and an 8C one by one with a Nissan coupe is hilarious.
BOUGHT Nissan SKYLINE GT-R N1 (R32) '91
A little too overpowered for the Japanese '90 challenge, but this is the cheapest R32. Money I'll need when I'm going to tune cars for the last two events in the National B class.
BOUGHT BBS RE-MG
Again, replacing the terrible rims that come with standard cars...
PAINTED GT6 Matte 008
And I painted them black so it looks even better.
WON Japanese 90's Challenge SSR5 Clubman
Turns out my car was underpowered! The game lied to me! Didn't stop me from winning yet again though.
WON Japanese 90's Challenge Twin Ring Motegi East
Nothing special here, but the N1 was really fun here.
WON Japanese 90's Challenge Tokyo R246
That's the last we will probably see of the N1. But now, something completely different, complete Skyline tuning madness. I'm gonna fully tune the Prince Skyline (the only Skyline under 4200 mm) for the GT Compact Car Championship and the Classic Sports Car Series.
WON National B Finale (click for full report)
WON GT Compact Car Championship
So this was the National B class. The beginning is done now, and the real racing is beginning. Expect a nice new car for National A... I really like it's paintjob. Here's a hint: it's a Skyline...
Did I tell you too much?
STAY TUNED FOR NATIONAL A
