What cars are allowed? I picked up a mini, and it wasent small enough?! I'm trying to get to at least 25% done in a couple weeks (games not as long as i thought) but this cup is holding me back (trying to get all golds, everwhere (currently stuck still! In the beginner races place)
 
Must be it's weight, you have to reduce it's weight below 1000Kg I think, just use a car like a Kei car. (Suzuki Cappucino EA21 comes to mind... :mischievous:)
 
I used a Suzuki Cappucino that I bought off the used car lot, stock. Not too many A-spec points, but it won easily with 3-4 second margins.
 
Yea, i'm stupid so instead i bought that other car, and ended up spending over 40k to make it run good (lol i suck at this game) and won just now... thanks guys!

The 1989 Mitsubishi Minica Dangan ZZ is the best value in the list, as it not only is one of the best performing, but it can also be bought used for only $3,500 and shows up in the lots nearly every single week. However, as Duke said, the Suzuki Cappucino is a fine choice as well, and also readily avilable in the used lots for as little as $5,000.

You'll earn a 1964 Ginetta G4 for winning this race, which is a great car to use in several races, including the British Lightweight Series, and the 1000 Miles event.


I'm trying to get to at least 25% done in a couple weeks (games not as long as i thought) but this cup is holding me back (trying to get all golds, everywhere (currently stuck still! In the beginner races place)
Because many of the early races are short, and relatively easy, getting the first 25% is a good deal quicker than trying to get the last 25%. So sit back and enjoy the experience. No need to rush through it. :)





Someone finished GT4 in 2 weeks. I think that was Famine.
Even if you used B-spec sped up to 3x speed I don't think that's likely.

Just the races alone, excluding license tests and missions, there is 22,000 miles of racing. So in the races alone you would have to complete over 1,500 miles a day... and not all at once, but have to go through the laborious effort of racing a few miles in one race then changing cars and racing a few in another, and so on and so on. You'd pretty much have to go two weeks straight without any sleep, and even then it might not be possible.

For instance, just the 63 special events races account for less than 400 miles of racing, and would take more than a day to complete.

Even if you spent four hours a day, every day, and never lost a single race, it would take several weeks to ever come close to finishing just the races in GT4.
 
In fact, you would have to be driving solidly for every hour of the two weeks at an average speed of 65mph to cover that 22,000 miles. This doesn't include the hours that will be lost in menu navigation, car purchasing and car tuning. It would not be possible, even using B-Spec.

Interesting to note that the cars in this cup do not have to be Japanese, despite K-Car being a Japanese catagorisation.

I used the Autobianchi A112 license prize car and it won the races without any trouble.
 
Actually, I have to correct my earlier statement. I also used the prize car A112 in the Kei Cup. I used the Cappucino in the World Compact Car events.
