GT2 Teams
When you first start Championship Mode you are given offers by
Kohr Racing and Speedcraft. The Rage from Kohr is a Porshe
knock-off and the Stallion looks like a Ford Mustang. The Rage
is easier to drive but the Stallion is a little bit faster. Both
of these teams treat their drivers nicely and just want to win.
Once you move up to rank 29 you will be given an offer by
Viewpoint. Be reluctant to accept this offer as you will soon
get one from Reeds. The Reeds Manta is a sharp looking car that
is faster and easier to handle than the other cars before it.
However, the owner of Reeds is big on commitment, so if you leave
you can never get to their better cars.
After this point you need to be ranked pretty high to get an
offer from Eurosport. Eurosport boasts a Viper look-a-like
called the Ram Venom. This car is very difficult to handle, but
is the fastest and lightest car yet. If you do decide to race
for Eurosprt you will not be given an offer by his rival Lassiter
in the GT1 circuit. Eurosport's owner criticizes you if you lose
races and doesn't say much if you win. I recomend waiting until
you move up one more rank to get an offer from TotalSport.
TotalSport's Furio is fast and easy to handle and looks good.
The A-class is my personal favorite car. The owner treats his
drivers great and allows his drivers to move up to his A-class
car quicker if you stay loyal to him. The last team in GT2 is
Elite. Their car is fast and light but is hard to control.
GT2 Cars
The Stallion -- This car is the hardest to handle of the first
two. It is also the heaviest car in G2. The
A-class is however an extremely easy A-class
car to drive.
The Rage -- This car looks sharp and hugs the road, especially
the A-class. The B-class got me through a lot of
races in the middle events.
The Elan Swift -- This car is considered the easier of the two
middle class cars to drive, however, I found
the Manta quite a bit nicer. If you do ever
leave Reeds, you'll probably have to depend
on the Swift.
The Manta -- I really like the way this car handled on the road,
and I loved the way it looked compared to the
Swift. The only thing I didn't like was the fact
that I had to stay with Reeds to move up, so I
left early.
The Ram Venom -- One of the best looking cars in the game is also
one of the hardest to drive. Another
downfall is the fact that Lassiter won't
offer you his cars for racing with him. If
you can master the car you are in great
shape, because the A-class is maybe the 2nd
best car in GT2.
The Furio -- This car is my personal favorite. I really like the
6 gears, and the wideness of the car. It has the
same type of engine as the Reeds Manta, and
handles in the same fasion too. And I believe the
A-class is the best looking car in GT2.
The Challener -- This car is fast and light and hard to control,
but it is the best. I don't think that this
car looks too sweet, so I think that I'll
stick with my Furio.

Early Tracks
In my opinion the easiest of the tracks is Rome. Both the A and
B versions are quite simple, yet still give you a little bit of
everything. From sharp hairpin turns surrounded by sand to long
straight-a ways this track has it all.
Hawaii is set just before sunrise so the lighting can be a
problem. This track is primarily scenic, but narrow roads can
cause problems.
Kyoto is a track that can give problems at first, mainly because
it is so dark. But once you get the hang of it it becomes a race
that is easy to win because of the many sharp corners to cut.
New Zealand is a bright track with a lot of sand and many turns.
The begging can be tight with all eight cars, so lay off until
you are past the first 4 or 5 turns.
Las Vegas can give you trouble for the same reasons as Kyoto did,
but once you learn where the turns are this track becomes fun
because of all the places that you can take out your opponents
vehicles.
Lisbon is a great track set in a village or city. The biggest
problem is that occasionally the sun gets in your eyes. Practice
this one hard, because you need to complete 15 laps of it in
reverse to get into G1.
Thank you for reading this GameFAQ. I hope to publish more as I get
further in the game. I you have any questions or comments email me at
