All in all, a PITA for trying to collect the Lvl 14 ticket.  But....It beats begging someone else for it. ;)

I knew there was a better way. Next time, I'm going to remember this little trick. Beg Croonah for seasonal ticket prizes.

Yeah, it was Goes_to_11 with the shared 2J. I remember going to the level 40 players, where GT11 is right below Fried, so I guess I misremebered, or wasn't paying attention.

On my other account, I used a Mazda Furai Concept for a pretty easy win. I also used a 500pp Impreza '04 for a win over an NSX Type R '02 and an Esprit.

After the expereinces with Prologue, the only thing I really wanted out of this game was good online racing. If you can survive the network issues, this game provides great online racing for those who know how. I do some seasonals, but it's for the tickets/money. Also, I like modifying and tuning cars. (I would like more in the appearance options, I guess.)

I forgot that I shared it. Glad someone found it useful.

Something to try...I believe it worked for me a few times. I just found it and haven't needed it much.

When you have random car ticket(s) in your delivery 'truck', use the square to receive all at once (even if there is only one). Do not select 'Close' when the last one or summary of vehicles received window appears, unless you liked the cars. If you didn't like the cars received, go to XMB and exit the game. This way, the game doesn't save the fact that you cashed in the tickets for cars. You still have the tickets (sorry, you don't have the cars....they weren't saved)

Again, using the Square button to cash in tickets from your delivery doesn't save until after the summary. Quit the game before closing the summary and you can try again without using a USB drive.

Great for those who aren't into USB trickery, but want a specific car from a random ticket. (I've never seen this mentioned before)

For those who want a challenge (of sorts), take the Lotus Elise 111R RM out and give it a try at Chamonix West time trial.  It's a hoot!

B-spec race recon...

Epson NSX (superGT version)

starts raining right after race starts, pits on lap 1.  gets to about 30% surface.

Use SPORT SOFT tires to avoid pit and win easily by half a lap with no interaction with roboDriver.

this is one of those races where you collect all the money for placing - pays $2M total. (and a level 23 ticket)

If you never did, you should.
These things are fun, and fun is good.

I haven't tried myself actually, but I love that car. I haven't done TT in a while.
