I would like more Porsches though, not that I don't enjoy my 1082lb-ft 993Turbo, but I'd like more than three Porsches to choose from (especially a silver '87 951!).
No, it isn't as nice, but it also isn't as new. Still above most other games though. Keep in mind GT3 is often considered the best of the best.

Oh, and there's always 'historical' competitions you can compete in in Evolution (you're just racing older cars than your current era), and also a single playwer quick race mode.

Was just about to ask the same thing. You'll have to host though as I'm firewalled.

What's your IP?

I wanted a 993 (it's actually a Ruf Yellowbird or something), so I took my Ruf 3400S (aka Boxster S) to a boxer challenge and wasted some Subarus and a couple Rufs and won the 993. I didn't like the color, so I sold it (for 40%) and bought a nice blue one, then added every mod possible, including a stage 4 turbo upgrade.
It's AWD so I use it as a rally car too.

You get into the F1 cars yet? Once you get one of those everything else seems slow (even my 1020hp Supra and 1400hp Suzuki).

I have one F686 and two F090s.
I bumped my Suzuki up to 1800hp. If I need to make some quick cash, I take it to the Super Speedway endurance race, put some street tires on it, point it in the right direction, tie the throttle down with a rubberband, switch to picture in picture so I can keep an eye on it, and just let it go. It has waaay too much power (even stock) and far too poor of handling to use in any race with real corners. Once I left it running at Super Speedway while I had lunch. When I got back I noticed that my lap time was at 15+ minutes (a typical lap is 25-27 seconds for the Suzuki), and it said "WRONG WAY" on the screen. Evidently it had hit something in my absence and been going backwards for about 30 laps. I turned it around, let it go (watching carefully), and noticed I was still in first place! The speed on that car is just ridiculous. It's the only one I've had over 250mph.
I love driving the F090, because it can go through corners at twice the speed of my best handling street cars.
I've also been enjoying the Denso Supra recently. I've been beating the single player tracks to unlock them, and find the Supra to be the most enjoyable car to use.

I've tried the rubber band trick too, but have had some of the same problems as you. I've got a F686 (that's the one you get from the superspeedway endurance race, right?), but can't get the F090 as I can't get the S class licence. I've got all but the very last section of it done...just can't get that last one. I'll get it soon enough though.

OTOH, what is your top speed with the Suzuki. I've gotten it to 300.8

The EARacing servers went offline for good on October 20th.

Tons of people still racing on alternate servers though, I'll look them up.

For the rubber band trick to work you need something that can get up to speed quickly (and when I say speed I mean hit 230+ in the straights). The car will drift in to the left, because of the slope to the track, and slower cars will drift right into the pit lane or get stuck on the barrier. I use the Suzuki, but I used to use the Australian Ford race car (since I've won half a dozen of them). It would hit the pit every few laps, but was still fast enough to stay out in first.

Here's the best site I've found for determining what race you need to win to get which car, and it'll tell you how to get your license. You don't need the S license to get an F090, I've never taken a single S test, and I've won two. I think I won mine by racing the Roman endurance race...or Tokyo...I forget which.
