Default GT3's 787B...sweet!

I am almost done with the Arcade mode of GT3 and a few cars have been unlocked. Last night I got the Mazda 787B...holy CRAP that thing is fast and fun!

When do the real F-1 cars unlock? I want, I want!

Also, what do you know about the 787B...it's a Rotor4, so it's called and I was wondering if that is 4 rotors or 2 rotors with 4 combustion chambers...? Anyone know the specifics of this car?

The GT-ONE racecar is sweet, too...but there is something about that Mazda...sweetness!

The 787B had a 4 rotor motor in it. It won Le Mans in 1991, the only only rotory motored car to win.

A friend of mine has an RX7 with a 3 rotor in it that makes about 300hp NA, pretty cool car.

I never liked the handling of those Mazda formula cars but you're right, those things haul @ss.

Here's a link to the list of prize cars:

http://www.granturismo.de/gt3/frames/sub/w...in_car_list.htm

You're right, the F1 car awarded for the Super Speedway endurance race is the F/90s. It's not the fastest Formula 1 car, but it's quite good enough for almost any purpose.

If you want a real challenge, try the professional level Toyota Vitz or Italian Avant Garde events. I believe those are the hardest challenges in the game.
