I hear you on the endurance oval races - it was just too boring.......I'd get the 1800hp Escudo and put 2 rubber bands on the controller - one for full throttle, and one for steering set at hard right - and go somewhere. Two hours later, voila, race is won. The car was so damn fast that it could bounce off the wall the whole time and still win the race... LOL.... once in a while the car would pit, just because of the order of chaos..... even then, the car won the race LOL.... easy way to get cash and prize cars...
I finished the entire GT1, came very close on GT2... by GT3... I'd had it. Takes just too much time to do everything and have a normal life...
Not sure what will happen when GT4 comes out....

I lapped the fastest car once..but it was still
Though it wasn't as bad as when you had to take the Vitz on it...sheesh!!! super

Oh yeah...I used the 1800HP Escudo on a rally race once just to try it out...I just rode the wall all the way cause I just couldn't control the car... Then I went back to my rally cars for the rest of the races

I hate spending all that effin' money on a VITZ, though...
Edit: my guess is, the suspension settings are very extreme.

Pit Stop?
I think all the award Vitz are pink...........mine was.
I hated that series with a passion. I got my fucking Castrol Tom's Surpa though......
I still can't do the Lotus one, the series with Cote De Azure.......
Even with 7,000,000 credits and loads of skill, those little bastards eat me alive.

But I'm not about to race it again to see if I can get it though...

I think I have 2. One its rated as the best one (not necessarily the fastest, but best handling / speed combo). Its extremely forgiving, and I fly through corners like hookers on the Vegas Strip.
I'll have to check that.

Interesting. There's supposed to be six F1 cars availible in the game. I have 3. The best is a black/orange one (F/094H?) with a 16k RPM redline 
I'm guessing the red/white one is car you get when you win the F1 series (or when you get to 100% game completion), but I can't win that series for anything.

I have probably all the F1 cars in some way........the colors don't matter, I have two of the F090/s and one is white and blue, one is all black. The one that is worth the most, i.e. to sell, is the F094/s, worth $800,000 to sell, and that's 1/4 the actual cost
So I'd assume that's the best one. I love that car.

These cars are a must (well, at least for me) to take on the scary (but not nearly as scary Vitz races) Formula GT Series...

Oh right. And if you are wondering how to get the F094/S car, she can be won in the Polyphony Digital Cup series in the Professional League.

With ANY of the F1 cars!? Wow. I guess it's better for the game to be too hard than too easy. So is it true that GT4 will have two releases? One without online play, and a later one with? I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere that that was the plan...
