Win the extra cars.

Ok when you finnish a championship you get to choose between 3-4 cars.
If you win it again do you then get to choose another car from whats remaining?

Im to lazy to win a championship twice to find out.

It's random. So it's possible to get 2 of the same car.

If you do the championships why not finish all the previous races but not the last. Once you get to the last race you should have about 11 points ahead of the 2nd plave winner. So now you don't have to do that last race. You can now 'choose' the car you want by loading the game up again and repeating this process til you get the car you want.

If you quit the last race, you get a loss. After doing this repeatedly, your win ratio gets shot to shit. It's better just to finish the last race, and if given a car you don't like, THEN reload the game and try again. There's no point in being impatient, because it hurts you one way or another. Yeah I know, sometimes you can win the same wrong car 6 times in a row, but hey, if I can do it, so can you. (Just don't throw your Dualshock2 at the TV).

Im not fussed by the win ratio.
I lost enough races to start with that its already pretty low. (the problem with not having a pS1 with GT1/2 to practice on first)

Im just sick of using the f1 car to win races.. Its kinda to easy. But then I dont own any S class cars so in some races im kinda out classed.
And I would rather win a C5 corvette, and I would like some of the Touring cars, so it simply easier to get a little tricky and not finnish the last race.

Yeah, you know it. I should tie a bungee cord to the controller, and then attach the other end to my head so whenever I chuck it, it will come back and remind me how much it costs. Ouch.

Yeah without GT1/2 it takes a bit getting used to the driving dynamics. But the C5R is a good pick for many, many races, so keep going for it.

This provides such a marvelous mental picture.

This statement shouldn't have been directed to Mclaren F1, but rather to Moppie with this previous post:

And we can see how the confusion took place since the Opel prize car is from the German Touring Car Championship, which is very similar to the European Championship, which yields the Gillet Vertigo.
