Default GT4 - How do I get my hands on the XR8 Race Car?

Hi All,

I'm a GT4 addict with about 76% of the game completed to date. :

It is killing me that I can't get my hands on the AU XR8 Race Car - it has to be won, not purchased.

Which race series do I have to do to get my hands on this Aussie weapon so i can go and take on the world??

HELP :

Strange, I just bought mine CR 5000,000

Put a turbo on it an it makes 950+KW Makes the typhoon look silly, mainly because it out brakes and corners it by heaps. I can lap Nurnburgring in 6:40 without traction control! Lots of fun

other than that...have you all the licenses?

Yep - You are right. You can just buy it....so I did.

Needless to say I have spent an extremely happy hour and a bit flogging Glenn Setons old ride around Nurburgring and have set a best time of 6.38 thus far.

No engine mods as yet but lots of suspension tweaking, changed some wing settings and have played with gear ratios. Gear ratios particularly have made a difference.

I'll add more power to it and then go enduro racing with it...its a sweet balanced car out of the box with a good amount of front end grip.

Is it just me of does the car sound more authentic and handle better that V8 Supercars ?

Added stage 3 N/A engine upgrade to it last night and did a few laps of the 'ring.

Set a time of 6.28 which my all time best for the ring in any car. It was a killer lap.

I have heard of someone on FF putting down a 6.10 or so in the Nissan RC92 which is seriously fast.

The way the XR8 soaks up bumps and ripple strips is amazing.

I love Nubring track, its absolutely awesome, I also think this game plays heaps better than the latest supercar offering. Specially with stuff like shifting front end weight on the car with brakes in the esses at Nubring.
I bought my supercar too (fairly early on), and dumped the turbo in it etc, and its an awesome car. I am trying to get the 69 GT40 Race Car stable on Nubring ATM, got it down to 6.38 around Nubring so far, but its real unstable at high speeds, and any mistake putts you into the wall.

In the R92-CP car I have done the time 5:51:138.
In the XR8 Race Car, I have got it down to 6:00:340.

Donny

Ah yes but GT4 is ALOT harder trying to get 100% than the others.

Try getting all golds on the licence tests, its sh|tting me to tears, GT2 was alot easier for that. Never brought GT3.

Haven't played V83 as no one really seemed to like it.
