I do. I want to get the Mazda 787B, but I can't get my S-License yet. Anyone know another way to get it w/o a gameshark?

Btw the wail of the 787B's rotary is just intoxicating.

I just started playing GT3 again. I still don't have my S license either. I don't think there are any tricks to get the 787B. You have to win Like the Wind to get it.

I haven't even started to try and get my S because I know I'll just end up getting mad. I've been trying for a while to get one of those sweet F1 cars... After a while of no F1 for me, I said f it, havne't played it since.

I love playing GT3. I have completed over 85% of the game and have all my licenses. I also have the Formula One car. That is fun to drive on the test track only though.

Why? They corner awesome! They are a great road course car. The escudo is more of a test track wonder, that's about all it's good for.

I don't know I just don't see to have it down right for some reason. It does turn awesome I just have to get used to it. I don't use it very often at all

Yeah that is my prob right now is I tend to hit the walls too much with it. I am faster then any car I race but they can pass me when I nail a wall good. The Escudo though is by far the best car on there as it was in GT2

the escudo is a sweet car, but once you get the hang of the f1 cars, you won't drive anything else keep in mind there are 2 f1 cars, and one is faster. i still bump walls a lot, but once you get used to it, you'll smoke everything
there are at least 3 F1's. that's how many i've had in the past. i think there may be 6-7 in total.

****, i love driving the formula one cars on almost every track. there are 2 of them, that i know of. the easiest way to get one, is get the pikes peak edition escudo, go to the endurance race at the oval track. change the controller configuration so the left stick accelerates and steers. start the race with the escudo. take a rubber band and wrap it aound the stick and the controller, so it pulls the stick up, and slightly to the right. the car will bump off the ouside wall all the way to the finish line. and if you get the stick in a good position, you can win by like 30 laps set it up, and go do something else for a while you'll have to do it a few times, unless you get the f1 car the first time. great way to make about 500 grand too. you get 250 grand for winning, and a car every time. corvette C5R (i think), f1, some ford, and one other.
Yep, I've done that race 5 times now, still no F1 All the other cars are worthless to me, I already have the C5R.... WEAK!

what you do is grab your controller, get a rubber band or twisty tie, and set up your controller so that the right control stick is accelerate.

Then you get the escudo wit h 1700 hp, aim it slightly towards the wall (to the right) and twisty tie it so it stays, then tie the otehr stick all the way up so it is on full throttle all the time.

Start the race, leave the room, come back about an hour later, and see if you get the F1 car. It took me about 7 tims of doing this before I got that F1 car. I dont consider this cheating either since it isn't altering the code of the game (ie gameshark) or some cheapass way of doing things. I feel it is legit, since I raced that race 3x myself before, i feel its only fair that i do that .
Yea, blue already said that

They should just hook me up! I have like 5M credits, and there is nothing I want but those damn F1 cars!

Ihave three F1 cars and there is one indy car the indy car sucks doesn't turn well at all. I think that JasonKilpa might have the indy car and not the F1, also the indy car has a higher top speed.

need F1 cars?

i dont have em either, but i just bought the game. only like 25% done. my friend has em though, all but one i think, but hes a looser and doesnt use any of the skill you learn in the liscnse tests. he brakes really relaly hard, putts around a corner and goes as fast as he can to the next. no lines at all, for shame.

but anyhoo,

i havent exactly got this to work, but when you win an endurance race, or a series, and the floting shadows come out spinning, suposedly you can quickly tap x when the circling GT symbol crosses the car you want. ive tried so many times and cant really tell if it works or not. logically, i woulda won one by chance by thime the code supposedly worked. but someone else might get it to work for em. or i could just be trying to see how many of you press x on the car you want and become disappointed when you win the rx-8 or the nissan z instead of the c-west silvia or the gt-one road car.

anyone else disappointed with the razo besides me? and the rx-8 and the z?

What is the top speed of the Escuda Peaks? I think my game is wrong. I have the Escuda heavily modified and only do a top speed of 207mph. Is this right at about 1700hp?

Hmmm... that's kind of odd, I think my top speed was 276 or something like that, i think it's drag limited up at that speed. I read some 'tricks' or whatever to get it to go like 400mph, but I haven't gotten them to work (or tried for that matter). Perhaps your spoilers are adjusted wrong, creating too much drag??
