Has anyone got anything that can compete in the Historical Racecar event?

Tried tuning my Ferrari 512BB but it can't match their speed and handling.

Use the Lamborghini ! Tune that sucker up to 520bhp and 850kg

Ignore.

He's done it now.

We used the Dodge Challenger afterwards with the race mods and then further engine upgrades. Deep Forest was tricky, but bashing the Toyota 7 out of the way seemed to do the trick.

I hate that historic race it took me ages to win it, I had to ram that toyota on the first bend to even stand a chance

Just splashed out on a 458 italia to go with the 512BB i've already got, and boy this 458 italia is just so good looking...

slapped some racing slicks on, took it out at Monza and it was absolutely superb to drive. Amazing car.

Awwwh!

Hah thanks, I had an R33 racing car for you, but I sold it.

Aww it's ok. I'm after a R32 now

One thing I like is that the game does give you prize cars you can use in other races.
I waited with the pickup race to see if I would get a prize car later on and you do get a Dodge Ram from the IA licenses, with minimal upgrades I finished the Pickup races.

I had to block the Toyota pickup on Daytona though.

I tried to copy my favorites from Gran Turismo PSP but it failed, maybe because I have a US version of GT PSP

Just done the historic racing cup in a camaro 66. I had to ram the Toyota 7 off the road and block like hell. Anyone else do the same? LoL

 

[G-MAN2004]

No, use the ZR1 for Like The Wind. Then use the 88-C you win from it to do All Stars with ease.

Or do it the cool way and use the Veyron.

We don't all possess your godlike skills.

Can't you use a Countach LP400 for that race?

 

[Murray]

Can't you use a Countach LP400 for that race?

Yeah would be a struggle though.

Won it with the Cobra "66 i think. Tuned to the max of course

 

[Sp00n]

Oh wow, the Special '62 is a fun car, completely pwned the world classic races. Now I need something for the euro to complete beginner, what did people use? I wanted a golf but I can't for the life of me get one

 

[Dutch Guy]

Yeah would be a struggle though.

A Camaro '66 is better than a Countach LP400?

 

[Mlingard]

So how much money do you need for the multi millionaire trophy ??? was told it was 20 mil i hope not .

 

[zpos]

Maybe a dense question, but how are you supposed to accrue such high credits considering once you complete an event you can't repeat it to obtain more cash. I'm being particular prudent about what I buy at the moment.

I know you gain more cash as you progress but surely there will come a point when you complete most events and can't get any more cash? There's a few events that I've given up on getting gold so I'm curious how you can go and earn sufficient credit to purchase one of the really highly prized cars.

There doesn't appear to be any banks you can go rob
