============================================================================== ------------------------------- GRAN TURISMO 5 ----------------------------------------- CLEARING ALL ASPEC & BSPEC RACES WITH MINIMAL CAR BUYS

-------------------------------------- WRITTEN BY: BLOWSEPH ---------------------------============================================================================== With all of the races in this game and all of the different restrictions those races have, sometimes it can be hard to know what car to use on what race or where to get a car to use on a certain race. This guide is intended to provide you with a "map" to get you through all of GT5's Aspec and Bspec races while buying as few cars as possible, and to help you find a car to use any given race if you're stumped about what to do next. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------A FEW NOTES: If you level up and a new race opens up to you that you do not have a car for, that doesn't mean you have to go and buy a car to do that race right then and there. If you skip over the races you do not have cars for, somewhere down the road you will almost always come across a new prize car that you can use in the races you have skipped over. The cars I have listed to use are only suggestions. At times there may be different cars you come across that you could use other than what I have noted, which is OK. There's more than one way to get from point A to point B. Before starting the races, go do the license tests. These will not only give you some much needed exp/levels right off the start, but will also give you a few nice prize cars to use before you've even done any races. For some people license tests are hard, and getting anything more than a bronze may be out of the question. For this reason, I have not included any prize cars awarded by license tests over what you can get at the bronze level. Some of these cars require tuning (in some cases extensively) to be able to win. But they can still win. You will at some point find that there are no more open races at your level that you have a car for. You will need to re-visit races you've already won to gain more exp and level up to open new events and gain new prize cars. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------To do ALL the Aspec & Bspec races, you only NEED to buy 4 (or possibly 5) cars 1 2 3 4 5 Any Mini Cooper (do not buy the Mini Cooper 1.3i '98, you win it later) Any Ferrari (do not buy the F40 or the California, you win them later) Lamborghini Gallardo Formula GT Any NASCAR** (unless you can gold all three of the NASCAR special events)
