J-Speed Super One Tournaments - Japan | Trophies Race Driver GRID Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Drift GP - Driftbox Championship

Number of races: 4

Track: Yokohama - Docks Route A1

Best car: You won't have to spend a lot of time trying to decide which vehicle is going to be the best one to win this race. I wouldn't recommend choosing cars which are difficult to drive, because you would have to struggle to win all four races. Something with more grip is exactly what you should be looking for.

Hints: You've had many opportunities to familiarize yourself with this track. You should remember where to look out for obstacles and where to pull off insane drifts. You'll be starting alone, so it's going to get a lot easier to gather points and to increase your multiplier. You should be able to win all events by collecting at least 500000 points. You don't have to be extremely precise, however you won't be allowed to make too many mistakes, because each error will delete your points or nullify your multiplier. Just as before, watch out for some of the sharper turns, as well as large obstacles. Each time (there are four rounds of the tournament) you will have to complete two laps, so make sure you haven't used up all available flashbacks right away.

GT1 - Volk GT Series

Number of races: 4

Tracks: Shibuya - Street Circuit; Okutama - Sprint Circuit; Shibuya - Street Circuit B; Shibuya - Short Street Circuit

Best car: This is a GT1 class event, so you'll have a lot of cars at your disposal. I would recommend choosing a Saleen S7R which seems to be the easiest to drive. If you don't like it, consider choosing a Koenigsegg CCGT.

Hints: Saleen will knock out the rest of the competition in Shibuya, mostly because it's very easy to handle considering how powerful it is. You shouldn't have any problems overtaking other drivers, especially since there are a lot of sharp corners. AI drivers have problems there. You don't have to avoid crashing into other vehicles, however prevent your car from being heavily damaged. The most difficult sections of all three Shibuya tracks are the hairpins (screen). You will have to use the brakes early or you'll end up hitting the wall. I'm sure that you know this issue from the Spyker event. Winning on all these tracks (first, third and fourth in the championship) is going to be easy, so you don't have to worry about not being first in Okutama.

The second race of the tournament is going to be the toughest one of all four, mostly because you will have to focus your attention on staying on the track and travelling at high speeds. Thankfully, it's going to be easier than before, when you were driving a Spyker. This time you will have to use the brakes a few times. The first mild curve (screen) should allow you to overtake a few vehicles on each lap. Watch out for shaper corners in the middle of the track. Accelerate once you've gone past them, however be careful near the finish line.

Prototype - Vertex Prototype Championship

Number of races: 4

Tracks: Okutama - Grand Circuit; Okutama - Grand Circuit B; Okutama - Sprint Circuit; Okutama - Sprint Circuit B

Best car: You will have to choose between two vehicles of the Prototype category. Mazda 787B is a much better choice than Nissan R390 GT-1.

Hints: As you've probably suspected, winning this tournament isn't going to be a simple thing to do. Both vehicles from the Prototype class are difficult to handle, especially at high speeds. Also, you will have to avoid crashing into other cars, because not only you'll damage your vehicle but you'll also end up outside the track. Try winning at least two out of four races. As for the remaining two, you will have to end them being somewhere near the podium. This should allow you to win the championship and to collect a golden trophy.

You've already been to the Grand Circuit in Okutama before, so you won't be surprised by how difficult it is to win here. Watch out for some of the fast corners in the first sector of the lap. You will also have to be careful on the bridge and after you've left it. I would recommend slowing down a lot in order to prevent the car from hitting some of the nearby walls. Watch out for a very tight left turn (screen). Use the brakes early and accelerate once you've gone past this segment safely. You will have to careful here, however you won't be allowed to drive too slow, because other drivers will catch up to you. The final section of the lap consists mostly of mild curves. Maintain higher speeds but avoid straying off the main track. You should focus your attention here on catching up to the leaders of the race.

The second race of the championship will require you to explore the exact same track, however you will be moving in an opposite direction. From my experience I can tell you that it should be a little easier to win here, however knowing the track is going to be crucial to your success. Watch out once you've started, because it's easy to crash the car here. Don't worry - you'll have plenty of opportunities to overtake other players. Be careful once you've left the tunnel (screen). This seems to be the most difficult section of the track. You will have to maintain an ideal racing line, as well as go through a very tight corner. The second part of the lap is easier. Avoid hitting the barriers and watch out for some faster corners and chicanes.

As for two of the remaining tracks, you've been here many times before. Sadly, this doesn't mean that winning here is going to be an easy achievement. You'll probably encounter more problems while going in an opposite direction. You must be very careful in order to avoid crashing into other cars, because nothing good would come out of it. Use the first corner to overtake a few vehicles, as well as the middle section. Watch out for some sharp turns, though (screen). The final corner will require you to achieve maximum speed. You can't slow down or you're going to get overtaken by other vehicles.

Prototype - Head 2 Head

Important! Participating in this duel is possible only when you've won all three tournaments from this group!

Hints: You shouldn't have any major problems winning this head to head challenge. Once again, you're going to have to participate in a Touge event, so this means you'll be racing in the canyons. The biggest difficulty is that you have to use a prototype vehicle during this event. Thankfully, your opponent will slow down in many areas. As a result, you shouldn't complain about not being able to overtake him.

You should act similar to some of the previous Touge races of the career mode. This means you must have a perfect start, because your opponent will take the lead anyway. You won't have to worry about encountering any civilian vehicles, so focus only on taking the lead away from your rival. This can occur while going through some of the first corners of the race (screen). If you're unsuccessful, try waiting for both of you to get to sharper hairpins.

Sadly, your Mazda wasn't made to participate in these types of events, so you'll be struggling to get through some of the sharper corners. If you feel like you're slowing down too much, consider drifting with a little help of the handbrake (screen). Otherwise you would lose a lot of time and you would also give your rival a chance to close the gap to your car. You will also have to watch out for fast chicanes and mild curves, because it's easy to make mistakes in these areas. Reaching the finish line should take you about two minutes.
