I've used the Toyota 7 to walk the historic cup. It's a loan so is there anything else I should do with it that I need it for?
Have I been lucky getting the gt40 as a prize for completing expert?

That corvette is only available at level 15. Whats the specs of the concept 1 series bmw 07? worth buying? or go for the m3/m5?
Maybe do a few more special events first for easy xp, then grab the vette. I would lend you my chromeline mp3 because I never use it, but I'm in an endurance race atm
Do the B spec of the same race?
Man of Honour
I'm afraid I'm a long way behind on my b spec, so I won't be doing that for a while.

Ugh, that b-spec historic cars race is torture. First race is easy but the cote d'azur one is terrible. I did find out the primary cause for the crashes in that race though, the AI plows straight into the wall at the chicane when attempting to overtake, pretty much guaranteed. So avoid letting your driver overtake at that point at all costs and hope no one else crashes out in front of him 
So far I've only managed to get the silver, trying to work up the enthusiasm to try it again for the gold.

Just done the historic racing car cup on a spec in a Chaparral 2D. was a great and intense race. Took probably near an hour to get them both done right with a few small breaks in between.
on Core'D'zure i was in first and the dreaded 2J came up behind me in the tunnel, so i forced him to try and overtake me on the outside and then closed the door and slammed him into the brick wall at the chicane, putting him to the back of the pack and letting me run away

The Mazda or the Z4 look good to me, I'll let you know once I'm done with the current event (B-Spec grinding on dream car event to get him to lv25 atm, will be about 1.5 hours probably). Cheers

The Formula Gran Turismo walks it without having to pester him to speed up/overtake etc.
(example-I set it going before I went out to do some xmas shopping a couple of hours ago and he's now just over 9 laps infront with 11 to go).
Use soft Racing slicks and set it to pit in when driver level reaches 10% as its the driver who runs out of puff first.
The Toyota Minolta wins fairly easily but may need the occasional hurry up as you need to lap them 2-4 times to gain yourself the extra pit stop or two to get the win as the Audis are more efficient of fuel, tyres and driver.

That's exactly the sort of answer I was looking for, cheers

Ok, done with b-spec grinding, sending the F1 over now. And I think I'll take the Z4 thanks, since I don't have one of those yet
Guys is there anything specific you should look out for in Used Car Dealership early on in the game (first 10 levels)?
The thing about this game is I find it hard to get credits, I find myself doing the Clubman Cup every second cup win because im having to buy a new car for a new event and then having to buy parts lol

an 04 MX5 1800 RS is the best MX5 out there and you'll need one for one race and one endurance in both A and B-spec. That and pickup trucks
Do the special events, SOOOOO easy and they give you SOOOO much money

b-spec makes me want to die.

How come my cars don't do this? My ZR1 get minor damage every now and then but fixes itself, and then only other cars I use on a regular basis are the Toyota 88C-V and Formula GT which are both standard

Dunno what is causing the spoiler to float

Must be fun overtaking with that spoiler
