Tips and Tricks

 * Except for the Subaru Impreza Rally Edition, almost all your opponents will drive racing modified cars, except for the Dodge Concept Car that occasionally can appear. The Subaru Impreza Rally Edition's main advantage is its great acceleration, and you must find a car that can compete against it. If you choose a road car, be sure to fully tune it, and racing modify it, in order to improve the handling of the car. The best choices for this event are the Dodge VIPER GTS '96 (if you chooses to compete with a road car), or the Toyota Chaser LM Edition (only if you have already won the Gran Turismo Cup).
