Doing random practice laps, A-spec, and/or B-spec races before entering GT300km can cause random grids to show up, rather than what is shown below.
















Grand Valley 300 km

GRID 1

A rather unbalanced showing of cars to compete against, though there is a chance the '98 Mazda and '99 Subaru Impreza could wind up going head-to-head against us for the lead.

1). '99 Nissan Fairlady Z 300ZX Ver.S TT
2). '06 Infiniti G35 Coupe
3). '02 Nissan Silvia Spec R Aero S15
4). '98 Mazda RX-7 Type RS
5). '96 Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon GTB
6). '98 Nissan 300ZX 2seater Z32
7).
8). '03 Nissan Skyline Coupe 350GT
9). '98 Toyota Celica GT-FOUR ST205
10). '97 Toyota Supra RZ
11). '99 Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX STI Ver. VI
12). '95 Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo MR

------------------------------------------------------------

GRID 2

An early Class 2 grid, but very one-sided, since the RX-7 will dominate.

1). '02 Subaru Impreza WRX STI
2). '96 Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon GT-B
3). '02 Mazda RX-7 Spirt R Type A
4). '05 Nissan 350Z Gran Turismo 4 Ltd.
5). '98 Toyota Celica GT-FOUR
6). '00 Toyota Aristo V300
7).
8). '03 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII GSR
9). '03 Nissan Skyline Coupe 350GT
10). '02 Nissan Fairlady Z Version S
11). '88 Toyota Supra 3.0 GT Turbo A
12). '92 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR

---------------------------------

GRID 3

Great Grid for those who want top challenge from the dual Class A Honda NSX team. This is a game of "catch-up" from the very starting bell.

1). '83 Nissan Silvia 240RS
2). '01 Honda NSX
3). '07 Subaru Impreza WRX STI
4). '90 Honda NSX
5). '00 Nissan Skyline GTR
6). '89 Nissan Skyline GTR 
7).
8). '91 Toyota Celica GT-FOUR ST185
9). '98 Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo
10). '91 Nissan Skyline GTR Vspec 
11). '05 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX GSR
12). '94 Subaru Impreza WRX STI

-----------------------------------

GRID 4: Ignore. Jackrabbits start on pole & second place
GRID 5: Meh. '08 Fairlady starts on 4th place, nobody else matters.
GRID 6: NSX starts on pole.

--------------------------------

GRID 7:

Again, the twin NSX team starts in front of us, but they don't perform as impressively as I thought. Use Sport Class/"Racing against Class 2" ratios when going against this grid.

1). '99 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Ver. VI
2). '02 Subaru Impreza WRX STI
3). '98 Subaru Impreza Coupe 22B-STI
4). '98 Nissan Fairlady Z 300ZX Ver S TT
5). '90 Honda NSX
6). '01 Honda NSX
7).
8). '00 Subaru Legacy B4 Blitzen
9). '07 Mitubishi Lancer Evolution GSR PP
10). '95 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III GSR
11). '00 Nissan Skyline GTR R34
12). '83 Nissan Silvia 240RS

-----------------------------------------------

GRID 8: Untested. An RX-7 starts 2nd with an NSX in last place. This could be interesting.

----------------------------------------------

GRID 9: Meh. NSX on pole.

GRID 10: Another twin NSX team, with a '97 on 4th and the '02 Type R on 6th. But there's already two other dual NSX grids so far.

--------------------------------------------------

GRID 11:

A mid-level competition against two Class 2 automobiles. This grid is good but grid 11 is better. GRID 25 is actually best.  

1). '95 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO III GSR
2). '92 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO GSR
3). '98 Mazda RX-7 Type RS FD
4). '02 Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX STI
5). '98 Subaru Impreza Coupe WRX type R STI
6). '98 Nissan Fairlady Z Version S TT 2seater
7).
8). '98 Nissan 300ZX 2by2 Z32
9). '00 Subaru Legacy B4 Blitzen
10). '05 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX GSR
11). '03 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VIII GSR
12). '98 Subaru Impreza Coupe 22B-STI Version V 

-------------------------------------------------------

GRID 12:

Two Class Bs ('04 Subaru and '06 Honda S2000) and three of the better Class Cs ('02 Subaru and two RX-7s) on this grid.

1). '96 Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon GTB
2). '98 Subaru Impreza Coupe WRX type R STI
3). '91 Toyota Celica GT-FOUR RC ST185
4). '00 Subaru Legacy B4 Blitzen
5). '02 Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX STI
6). '04 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C
7).
8). '96 Mazda Efini RX-7 Type RZ
9). '06 Honda S2000
10). '98 Mazda RX-7 Type RS FD
11). '98 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO V GSR
12). '88 Toyota Supra 3.0GT Turbo A

----------------------------------------------

GRID 16

Here's a good grid for those who wish to race against the slower Class 3: '99 Subaru, Mazda RX-8, and the '07 Fairlady Z.

1). '98 Toyota Celica GT-FOUR ST205
2). '89 Nissan Skyline GTR R32
3). '05 Nissan 350Z Gran Turismo 4 Ltd
4). '88 Toyota Supra 3.0GT Turbo A
5). '03 Nissan Fairlady Z Roadster
6). '99 Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX STI Ver VI
7).
8). '92 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO GSR
9). '07 Mazda RX-8 Type S
10). '07 Nissan Fairlady Z Version S
11). '97 Toyota Supra RZ
12). '95 Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo MR

------------------------------------------------

Grid 25

This is the BEST Class 2 grid; too bad we have to reload over and over just to get here. But it's worth it, because for sure there will be at least 3 cars (maybe 4) all competing for the lead, even sometimes late in the race. These include the Honda, the 2008 Z-car, '99 Subaru, and/or the Mazda RX-7.  

1). '95 Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo MR
2). '06 Honda S2000
3). '08 Nissan Fairlady Z
4). '96 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IV GSR
5). '99 Subaru Impreza Coupe 22B STI
6). '03 Honda Accord Coupe EX
7).
8). '02 Mazda RX-7 Sprit R Type A
9). '03 Subaru Legacy B4 2.0GT spec B
10). '98 Nissan 300ZX 2+2
11). '07 Nissan Fairlady Z Version S
12). '98 Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo MR
