    I'm having an issue with the Historic Car Cup competition, the requirements here being a car built in 1979 or below. For some reason it isn't allowing me to use the Buick Special 1962, yet it allows me to select it in the garage option after filtering for the specific competition. There are no restrictions on the tyres so I know that isn't the problem. Has anyone else experienced this?

    While the Buick was originally made in '62 the Buick Special isn't considered eligible, probably something to do with the crazy mad upgrades made to it.

    Well I suppose you could, the Toyota 7 is more than good enough and it is a gift for winning a B-Spec race, the Cobra can win some of those races as well which you also get as a B-Spec gift.

    @LutonHatter: 

     
    Where do I buy the Toyota 7 race car, coz I've been scouring the used car list like crazy but I've yet to see it for sale. 
       
     
    Man the 7 race has been kicking my a$$ so hard in the historic race that I even abandoned that race completely coz hell it even kicked a$$ of my Audi R-10 TDi Le Man race car in the extreme series (but I fixed that with a stage 3 Turbo kit and the Diesel TDi is now king) but I realised if a 3 time 24 hour le Man winner of 2006 to 2008 is defeated by the 7 then my Countach has zero hope of beating it. 
     
    My only hope is to get the 7 but its still very ellusive so help me out guys, which B-spec race will I get it at ?
    Am doing B-spec but not very seriously, am still on begginner series but my driver is level 5 so I should be able to complete beginer series soon.

    @F_14_D_TOMCAT: It's a prize for the Like the Wind B-spec event in the Extreme series. Someone might be nice enough to add you on PSN and lend the car to you (using the "share online" thing) to help you complete the event instead. I would, but can't use my PS3 for a while (probably wouldn't be able to post it up for sharing until tomorrow). If you don't mind waiting, or someone hasn't lent the car to you in the mean time, add me on PSN and send me a reminder tomorrow and I'll add it to my shared list. My PSN ID is Binman-88.

    I played the stupid Facebook GT game because it gave me a code for the Jag XJ13 and I used that. I had to upgrade it some though. It's a really fun car to drive as well.
