"Hey, you shouldn't be here...."

I get so friggin pissed when the computer enters a car into a race in which that car is not allowed...

I just lost the damn second 10 lap race in Spider & Roadster (Professional) by 3 seconds to a friggin Motor Sports Elise. I tried taking my Motor Sports Elise in, and it wouldn't let me. That's a far superior car to anything I can take in, and it's not fair that I have to try and race against it. It was in the first race of the series too, and I only beat it by a hair. I'm pissed

Use the Boxter, mod it to death, you'll always win.

Oh, ok. I was using an S2000 Spec-V completely modded. It was always side by side with the Griffith, but I'd get by when he had to pit. I tried a modded Griffith, but it has such a small amount of rear traction that I was losing too much speed through all the turns, unintentionally drifting around them all...

The Boxter is more balanced and should get you in front. I suggest you pit about the 6th lap with just slick tires. You should be able to finish quickly.

Thanks, I just beat the damn Motor Sports Elise by 21.5 seconds

I used Medium slicks, since the S2000 had an appetite for the mediums, and I assumed the RUF would as well, and I pitted at the end of the 5th.

I used a Griffith with heaps of negative toe on the rear wheels, it makes a real differnce to the handling.
But having that damn motorsprt elise in there really isn't very fair!

Any other races where you've seen the comp use illegal cars?

Use the RUF 3400S, great handling and a good amount of speed.
