Can you go back and win the arcade races to get...say the Viper Concept????
You know, by winnin 1st place on all group F, on difficulty level Normal?
CAN U DO THAT??
 
aight..ok i finished all the "clear status" races and all of them have 1 st places. I was wunderin, can i go back and re-win them to get the "secret cars" The secret cars are the ones like the 787b and Speed 12..u get those by winnin certain levels on certain difficulties.
 
Did you just race the arcade races on Easy difficulty.

If you win all the arcade races on Hard difficulty you get all arcade prize cars like the R390 and 787B as well as cars like the Viper Concept.
 
If you are thinking that arcade is like running another series, I couldn't give an answer. However, did you manage to finish the Professional level in Arcade?

Hold down L1 and R1 while in the mode select screen.

Bumps the AI level up a bit.

Doesn't win by completing it though. (Thanks PD)

I don't know enough about Arcade mode. You mean there are races beyond the Time Trials?

Are these races where you have the 'areas' people keep talking about?
 
Bing! yep, almost 30% of the game is in the Arcade single race...

You've got to place first in all of them to get this percentage. I have a real bug to pick with PD about considering this part of the 100% complete. You have to rerace all the tracks you've already done.

Skip the easy and medium levels, just do the hard as it will fill in the easy and medium simultaneously.

Chili recipe.

Crock pot.
Ingredients.

2 Fresh chopped red peppers
1 freshly chopped onion (baseball sized)
1 medium jar of Salsa (Heat depends on the guests) I usually use medium, and hot sauce it to my liking

1 small can of large red kidney beans
1 medium can of small red beans.

1 lb of ground meat (usually 75-80% lean, as most of the fat get s fried out of it)
1 lb chunk of chopped beef (3/4 inch cubes)

1/4 cup chili powder
1 bay leaf.

4-5 good sized sun-dried Chilean peppers.

Secret ingredient:
1 cup grape jelly (adds sweetness, before the bite of the heat)

brown beef and ground meat. Discard excess Mix everything in large pot, on medium to low heat. Stirring every ten minutes. Cook for 3 ½ hours or until beef chunks a re tender. Add hot sauce to reach your desired level of heat (check Dr. Hot for good sauces)
 
Why thank you. Sounds alot like what I'd do, except for the grape jelly thing. Though I have inlaws who make sweet-and-sour meatballs using good old Welch's.

And yeah, from what I had heard previously, I was planning to run the Arcade races on Hard mode. You can use the Arcade seleection of cars, I assume? What about garage cars?

Sorry if this has been answered already.
 
ok..i NEED THE SPEED 12 CAR, OK. NO IM WUNDERIN IF I CAN RERACE THE ARCADE MODE ON HARD AND WIN 1ST PLACE ON ALL GROUP F TRACKS, ADN WIN THE SPEED 12??I DONT REMEMBA WHUT DIFFICULTY I RACED BEFORE? BUT CAN I DO THAT TO GET THE SPEED 12??
 
There may be a slight bit of confusion here. By completeing the Arcade races, you unlock cars in the aracde section as well as tracks. If you finish the Time trials, you get the Panoz. Which is the only car that will end up in your simulation garage.

So you may unlock the Speed 12 in Arcade mode to use in ARCADE. If you've already unlocked it, you shuoldn't need to again.

so to answer your questions

. NO IM WUNDERIN IF I CAN RERACE THE ARCADE MODE ON HARD AND WIN 1ST PLACE ON ALL GROUP F TRACKS, ADN WIN THE SPEED 12??

No you won't win another speed 12. In fact, you won't even win it the first time.

I'm as confused as you may be...

Done the grape jelly in Meatballs. Very nice. Always used it in Chili. tends to thinken it up when you refrigerate it...MMM....very good reheated.

Upon Der Altas suggestion, here is my chili recipe.

I wont give amounts as the amounts that I have in my head make about 5 gallons! :D But I'm sure you all could wing it with ease.

Wild Game Chili:

-Minced garlic
-Minced shallots (widly available or a small red onion)
-Poblano chilis, diced (widely available)
-Vidalia onion, diced (or a yellow onion)
-Kidney beans (canned)
-Black beans (canned)
-Large diced tomatoes
-Ground Phesant (or chicken or turkey)
-Ground Buffalo (or beef, but buffalo can be found in local markets)
-Ground Elk (venison meat or you could use beef, or omit completely)
-Beef stock (or some sort of beef base or bullion, canned beef stock can be found in the markets)
-Chili powder
-Paprika
-Beer (something nice, not Budweiser! :P )
-Red wine (just table quality is acceptable)
-Ground Cumin (a dried spice of the cilantro family)
-Fresh chopped Thyme (an herb widely available)
-Choalula (a typical hot sauce)
-Chipotles, diced (a canned variety is acceptable, it's essentially a dried and smoked jalapeno)
-Roasted habeneros, diced (extremely hot if not roasted)
-salt and pepper
-vegtable oil
-whole butter
-molassas
-brown sugar

Method:

-In a medium sized pot add vegtable oil and all the meats and cook on high heat until the meats are well browned.
-Add the garlic, shallots, poblanos and onions to the pot and continue to cook until they are soft.
-add beer, and red wine. (this will "deglaze" your cooking pot and release all the flavors and scrumptious pieces of food that get stuck to the pot.
-reduce the wine and beer until it is almost gone. (called "au sec" in French, or meaning "almost dry", reduction will intensify flavors as liquid is evaporated)
-Now add, all the beans (with all there liquid), tomatos, beef stock and diced chipotles and roasted habeneros. (roasting procedure will follow later)
-bring to a boil and then turn down the heat to a simmer and cook for about 2 hours.
-add spices. Remember to add in small amounts and taste often for your flavors as they will intensify the longer the cooking process.
-When finished, add salt and pepper to taste and the chopped thyme. Wisk in the butter, and add molassas and brown sugar to taste. This will add flavors and cut into any heat.

Special technique: If your chili is too spicy hot, adding cocoa powder will reduce the heat of your spice.

Roasting the habeneros:

-lightly coat the habeneros in oil and put into a 400-500 degree oven and let cook until the skin is dark brown and blistered. Remove from oven, let cool and peel off the skin and brown parts and remove the seeds. The pepper should be very soft at this point. Then dice small.

Enjoy! ;)
