The 787B's R26B 4-rotor was developed to meet the Category 2 regs for the 1991 Le Mans race.
QUOTE
Category 2 represented cars which were free to have any type, configuration, and layout of engine, whilst constrained only by a maximum of 2550 litres of gasoline available for consumption during the race.
The engineering abstract I have about the R26B engine says their main goals were to improve power output/throttle response, reliability, and fuel eco.

Thanks Diesel for the tip-off, without this thread I'd never have known and would have gone sailing on by the 700 day marker without even checking the used car lots! I couldn't afford all of the three cars but don't like the R390 anyway

ha ha, but the other three monsters are mine

mind you, it's only the R92CP I was desperate for, after the IA 15 license test I've wanted to get one ever since

Nice to know these kinda things are working out the same on my UK PAL copy of the game too - thanks again peeps!

The other easy money trick was posted before.
Do the Easy Costa di Amalfi Rally in Special Condition Events w/ the R32. Win the Toyota Rally Raid POS and sell it for ~270k. Do that race over a few times if you want to buy the SLR (600k+) and mod it for the Legends of the Silver Arrow race. I ended up using a modded MB 190E Evo III (67,910 credits) instead for the Legends race and won it pretty easily.

Race in the Costa di Amalfi race in easy mode (Special Conditions races) and you will win a car worth about 250,000 credits. Sell vehicle and repeat as necessary.

Nope, US version. I think it's a combination of playing a lot and having a lot of cars. I have ~380 cars and each car purchase counts as a day, along with wheel purchases I think.

read diesel's posts on page one of this thread. go to Euro Competitions and do the DTM championship, you'll get a 75,000 purse plus whatever you get for the individual races and then the clk-gtr which is worth 743,000 to sell. repeat as neccesary

I recently got my hands on the Toyota Minolta Toyota 88C-V race car after winning the El Capitain endurance race.
Awesome car with over 900 hp and it only weighs 850 kg.
The endurance race was relatively short too. (at least in B-spec mode at 3x speed).
I won it with the Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK-GTR (LM) race car (which is the prize car from the German Touring Car Championship in European Events) modified to over 1000 hp, fitted with racing hard front tires and racing super-hard rear tires.
