I was just reading through the PS2/GT3 advert topic, and read about the new advert with the Viper in. It reminded me about something.

When you complete amateur league, you get the Viper Team Oreca version, which has all the racing modifications, and special tuning. However, what is interesting is not what the car is, but what the price is.

The cars such as the polyphonys and the 787B etc... may not have a buying price, but they still have a second hand selling price. However, the Team Oreca has no selling price either, and if you try and sell it, the game doesn`t let you.

Your garage has a limit on the number of cars it can hold, and I intend to get them all. So that leads to two questions. Firstly, does the garage have space for more after you have all the cars, or are there 200 cars in the game? If it only just has enough space, what happens if you get two Viper Team Orecas?

You`d be stuck if you have two vipers, and as a result, no space to fit the last car! Hopefully there is only one way to win this car (the one I said above). If not. Doh.

I only noticed at the weekend that, unlike GT1 and 2, if you re-enter a competition which only has one car as the prize, and you get all golds for a second time, you don't get the car again. A shame, as that was a good way of making money in the previous games.

I did think that maybe this was why you couldn't sell them, but quickly realised that is this was the case, you wouldn't be able to sell any of the prize cars.

I was just about to post that as well.
By the way you can win Honda S2000 in the Type R meeting in the Amateur League.

Good point!

No, it doesn't.

Nor does the Honda S2000 which you can win in the Amateur League Type R meeting.

I've looked through all the cars, and those are the only two that don't have a selling price. Very strange!

Wookiee, you mentioned before that you had a winners guide thing. Does that have prices in, and if so does the Viper Team Oreca have a selling price?

Unfortunately, winning all the amateur leagues is the only way to win the Oreca :-(

There's supposedly a 200 car limit to the garage, but only about 180 cars in the game. So unless you trade a lot, things should be fine.

Very odd that you can't sell the car though! You should mail PSM2 or something and see if they're aware of it. Wonder if it's a minor bug?

There is a 200 car limit according to the text that scrolls across the bottom of the screen when you highlight the garage.

As for the Oreca, I haven`t tried trading, but I imagine it wouldn`t work, as there is no price to buy the car at.
