GRAN TURISMO CAR REVIEWS

FR Challenge!

The real McCoy of sports cars. The world of front-engine rear-drive.

FR Challenge

Description: Rear-drive cars only, with an engine up front. B License required.

Hard to say if any competition really stands above the rest. The Mazda RX-7 FD series, Nissan Silvias, and Toyota Supra all trade places in the FRs. Maybe the Toyota Truenos, Corollas, and Levins are secondary, but not by far.

Parts:
Tires: Semi-Racing. A Hard/Soft combination actually works best with a lot of tail-happy rear-drives, especially in this game in which many FRs hardly understeer. Soft-Soft tires can be reserved for those with closer to neutral handling.

Brakes: Racing (Normal can be tried for sportiest models) Balancer optional.

Suspension: Sports or Semi-Racing

Stabilizers: Soft or Medium

Gear Type: Normal for most cars, at all three tracks.
Clutch: Single or Twin
Flywheel: as needed
Driveshaft: as needed

Weight Reductions possibly needed 

Payment:
Pole Position: 1,500
First Place: 5,000
Championship: 10,000 

Prize: Nissan Silvia Q's 1800cc (in a rare yellow color) or Nissan Sil Eighty (blue) 

Qualifying:

Race: I find these races easier than the FR Series!
