and as a PC only user like me, you can't race a Dukes, so you are limited to GT2 and GT3 Please keep that in mind while finding your team. fortunately I still got the Pigalle from the pre-Stirling GT era. Double post, sorry. This will be covered in the PM I will be sending to all participants soon. If you don't have access to the returning player stuff already, we will get that fixed for you.

So I was looking at the list of cars to be used, and figured I'd add up a rough total of what I'd be spending over the course of this series to participate in it, and decided to just go ahead and do a "grand total" for each class. I used Broughy's Fully Upgraded spreadsheet to find the "Race Ready" cost of each car. This value does not take into account cars already owned (for example, most people own a Rhapsody, a T20, and a Stirling GT, so if they race in GT1, that will cut the cost by more than half for them), but only if you have none of the cars involved and are buying them up right now. GT1 - 5,999,475 GT2 - 2,516,375 GT3 - 2,052,475 It's recommended that you just buy the car that you are using for each week as that week comes around, and then sell it afterwards and repeat this process. In this way, racing in this series will only require one garage space, and small purchases each week, instead of 10 garage spaces and a large chunk of money all at once. To expand a bit about my point of GT1 not being that expensive, even though that number is much higher than GT2 and GT3, if you own a T20, a Stirling GT, and a Rhapsody already (which you should because they're all three best in their respective classes), it brings the price of GT1's "Race Ready" list down to 2,194,875, which is much more manageable and right in line with the other GTs. Saving up 3 million isn't that bad. If you participate in the daily playlist every day (can easily get upwards of 200k per day if you bet properly and finish each race), plus with the bonus money from the heists going on (half a million minimum for doing Humane Labs and all the setups each time), there shouldn't be any problems with getting enough money to participate. Especially if you just buy what you need for whichever week it currently is and sell it off when you're finished with it. And yea, don't worry about certain cars appearing in GT1. We are the PC Master Race, and we make sure everyone can race masterfully.

Love it! Super excited for this, can't wait to see how these cars do in this series. On the suggestion for the coupe track, I'll offer up my Watkins Glen inspired track, The Glen.

Paleto Bay, Vinewood (hills), El Burro, and the airport. those are the major areas, which aren't covered yet. would love to see a track in one of those.

Not a whole lot you can do at Paleto Bay and Vinewood hills would just be aids all the time. The others might be interesting if we can find a good track there.

And Vinewood Hills completely deserves that bad rep. It is very sad that people go away when I mention a race on Vinewood Hills. I love that area. But, have to agree with the current issues, it is almost impossible to have a healthy race around there. Just sad
