Alright, let's talk about the Tuned NA Car No.1 Cup in Gran Turismo 2. This is where you'll be facing off against some seriously tuned, normally aspirated Japanese cars. Think of it as a test of your handling skills against some quick machines. ### Courses There are three tracks for this event, and each race is 3 laps long: * Autumn Ring * Grindelwald * Laguna Seca Raceway ### Prizes No matter which track you race on, the prize money is the same. Winning the race is where the real goodies are, though! * 1st place: Cr. 50,000 * 2nd place: Cr. 7,000 * 3rd place: Cr. 5,000 * 4th place: Cr. 2,000 * 5th place: Cr. 1,000 * 6th place: Cr. 500 ### Typical Opponents These cars are what you'll be up against. They're all pretty quick, so make sure your car is up to snuff! | Power (BHP) | Tyre Type | Car (Name) | | :---------- | :---------- | :------------------------------- | | 291 | Racing Hard | Mazdaspeed Roadster A-Spec | | 293 | Racing Hard | Mazdaspeed Roadster C-Spec | | 388 | Racing Hard | Spoon INTEGRA TYPE R (DC2) '99 | | 347 | Racing Hard | Spoon CIVIC TYPE R (EK) '00 | | 294 | Racing Hard | Tom's T020 | | 291 | Racing Hard | Mugen Civic Type R | | 290 | Racing Hard | Mugen Integra Type R | | 290 | Racing Hard | Mugen Prelude Type-S | | 295 | Dirt | [R] Peugeot 306 S16 | Keep an eye out for that Peugeot 306 S16 – it's a bit of an oddball in this race, coming with dirt tires! It's a known quirk in the game. ### Prize Cars This is the exciting part! There are four special prize cars you can win, but they're handed out randomly. You've got a 1 in 4 chance of getting any specific one each time you win. So, if you're aiming for a particular car, you'll need to keep replaying the races. * Mazdaspeed MX-5 B-Spec * Mazdaspeed MX-5 C-Spec * Spoon Civic Type R * Spoon Integra Type-R ### Tips and Tricks Since there's no strict HP limit, you could even bring a fully-kitted out naturally-aspirated racing car. If you do, make sure your gearbox is tuned for acceleration. You'll need that punch off the line and out of corners to keep up! ### Trivia * As mentioned, there's a chance a Peugeot 306 S16 from the Pikes Peak Downhill race might show up here, complete with its dirt tires. It's a little glitch that never got fixed. * In the PAL version of the game, the track 'Autumn Ring' is sometimes written as 'Autumn Link'. This is due to how the Japanese words for 'ring' and 'link' sound very similar. Good luck out there! With a bit of practice and the right car setup, you'll be snagging those prize cars in no time.
