Mastered after about 160 hours (may include long pause times). That was quite a slog. I thought it was moreso just a time consuming master, but it has very challenging moments as well with the later extra trials.
Mooseh 27 May 2022 18:50
anyone have a guide on getting all cars? The guides I am using do not match up to the cars being given for winning races. Does loading and continuing a grand prix change the prize cars?
cavsfan2313 27 May 2022 19:15
This one is really frustrating sometimes because of the inconsistencies in how cars are awarded, but the guide below is the general order in how you have to place in the grand prix:

33 22 1111

22 22 1111

21 22 1111

11 22 1111

22 11 1111

21 11 1111

11 11 1111

I often wouldn't save the grand prix after finishing a section in case I didn't get the car I expected. I would then repeat the previous section until I got the expected car and move on.

Sometimes though when I was doing all first places, it seemed I wouldn't get the best cars unless a won first by a decent margin in the races, so definitely pretty obnoxious and inconsistent.
Mooseh 27 May 2022 19:46
I am following the same order and yes I am winning every race and not getting the best car or the trophy for winning them all. I cant see me sticking with this, its a huge achievement to commit to.
Klius 28 May 2022 14:00
In order to get the expected trophy you have to place first in all races without using retries.
Instead of retrying you have to end gp and reload save which can be a pain in the ass with DRT.
Same goes for best cars, hope it helps!
Mooseh 28 May 2022 14:05
I can confirm I have tried without failing any race and still not received the correct car. Does reloading the save affect it in any way?
Klius 28 May 2022 15:17
Mmm i know there's some weirdness with DRT+lizard on how to unlock some of the cars https://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=5634&o=30.

Reloading should not count as I attained the druaga trophy by reloading a ton.

Maybe there's something weird with the game that i have not noticed^^"
If it helps i spread my saves so i can go back a round in case i mess up.
Mooseh 28 May 2022 15:24
Thanks
newyokohama 6 Jun 2022 20:23
Thanks for this one, did it 20 years ago, can I get all 320 cars again??

i wouldnt bother
MariusRetro 12 Aug 2022 12:57
Oh boy. Thought I about mastering this game, but 100 - 160 hours is a tad too long for me. Still a fun game.
Vichan 9 Mar 2023 18:33
I can't seem to unlock the Lizard and Age Solo extra trials, what do I need to do?
oxitran 7 May 2023 22:58
Sorry for some of the achievements in this game. I made the list of achievements as a rough guide for those who authored the achievements off unlockables and two other minor achievements, the eagle and start lap two in first place, essentially to 100% the game for old fans. But damn is it a slog.
RoboMech 9 May 2023 08:01
You can master the game faster if you turn on turbo speed (125-150%) when you play the France team.
DryIce53 13 May 2023 02:07
warning cause a soft lock if you won 2x1(2 manufacture cars x 1 team)example: you won three manufacture cars in extra trial 2 is unlocked to match the boss but the three is locked,is a advice
