Gran Turismo 6 Mission Races
The Mission Races test your ability to pass cars while also clearing the course within a given par time. These events will make you try to drive properly while making sure to avoid making crucial mistakes. Passing a car or cars is only part of clearing the Mission Races. You need to try to pass your opponent(s) while also making sure to clear the course in a given time. So treat these Mission Races like License Tests. You can not earn any Stars for completion of Mission Races, but you can earn money for clearing each Mission Race. Try to earn Gold in each Mission Race if you can.
Each Mission Race consists of five events. The first four events are all section-based events using a certain section of the given facility. The final Mission Race is a lap-based event around a certain track. Success in the Mission Races involve overtaking vehicles while also clearing the course in a fast time. It is not, however, required you pass all the vehicles in the given run. You just need to clear the event as quickly as you can. If you commit any of these fouls during the course of a Mission Race:
• you completely leave the course
• you collide hard into a barrier
• you hit an obstacle (such as a cone)
• you collide hard into a rival car
...your run will be disqualified, and you must try that Mission Race again. If you fail to complete the Mission Race within the par time, you will not receive any award. So make sure to complete the race in time and try to complete it with a quick time.

Gran Turismo 6 Mission Races: International A
^ You're in some trouble now! Try to prove yourself in this set of Mission Races.
Let's see how great you really are with this set of Mission Races.
IA-1: Super GT500 Class Battle.
Car: 1997 Toyota Castol Tom's SupraCourse: Suzuka Circuit
Mission Type: Section
The Super GT series used to be known as the JGTC- the All-Japan Grand Touring Car Championship. You will be racing a car from the JGTC time around mostly Suzuka East. The course ends under the overpass of this Figure-8 (or "Figure of 8" as some call it) course. This class of car you are competing with is the GT500 class, in which cars are usually no more powerful than 500 brake horsepower. You are racing against two other GT500 class racing cars. Nothing comes easy at Suzuka. Got to earn everything. It may take a lot of work to try to pass both cars in this Mission Race. You can handle it, though, right?
TARGET TIMES:
• GOLD: 47.200
• SILVER: 49.000
• BRONZE: 54.000
IA-2: Group GT3 Battle.
Car: 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3Course: Nürburgring GP/F
Mission Type: Section
The next two Mission Races have you racing around the Nürburgring. I can tell you personally that I am NOT good at the Nürburgring. So I am not going to lie to you about how easy it is to race this course. Starting with this Mission Race, you will be racing the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 around a portion of the Nürburgring Grand Prix course. You will mostly be using the second half of this course ending after the chicane that leads onto the Pit Road entrance (or leading to the entry to the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring when any of the Nordschleife configurations are used). Regardless, the SLS AMG GT3 is a mostly a solid GT3 racing car, but it has a good deal of understeer dialed into its handling characteristics. Try to drive carefully and quickly to pass the other two cars.
TARGET TIMES:
• GOLD: 42.800
• SILVER: 44.000
• BRONZE: 47.000
IA-3: The Future's Dark - Nürburgring Battle.
Car: 2013 Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 N24 Schulze MotorsportCourse: Nürburgring 24h
Mission Type: Section
NOW is the time to start quaking in your shoes (if you're wearing any) racing the Nürburgring Nordschleife. You can sort of think of this Mission Race as using the opening of the Nordschleife from the Grand Prix circuit as the starting point and then using the first segment of the Nordschleife like from the AMG Driving Academy in Gran Turismo 5. I am not good at the Nürburgring, and I am even worse around any configuration using the Nordschleife. So my advice is this- be thankful you have a car that can properly handle the Nordschleife instead of trying to use something like a Le Mans prototype or some high-end formula race car. The road narrows up and has some challenging corners when you race on the Nordschleife. Its narrow and twisty roads make this one of the most challenging courses in the world. It is recommended you try to learn how to race the Nordschleife proper before trying to take on this challenge. I loathe racing the Nordschleife, but I hope you will be able to clear this challenge as best as you can despite my whining.
TARGET TIMES:
• GOLD: 1:12.800
• SILVER: 1:15.000
• BRONZE: 1:19.000
IA-4: Ruling the Rain - Skirmish at Spa.
Car: ???? Skyline GT-R R34 Touring CarCourse: Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
Mission Type: Section
For the first time, you not only have to deal with passing your opponents, but also dealing with Mother Nature. The legendary Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium is the track you will be racing and under wet conditions. Racing in the rain means you must deal with having limited visibility and a loss of traction. Even having the most grippy racing tires will not guarantee you success in properly racing around this Grand Prix motor racing track. This Mission Race utilizes the Start/Finish line after the super-tight first corner. You are mostly racing the first half of Spa-Francorchamps in this challenge. Try to get Eau Rouge right followed by the two turns after the long romp after Eau Rouge. The most important thing to remember is that the track is wet with rain falling. Traction and racing discipline are musts to clearing this challenge and passing the other three cars on the track. You also must deal with rain water being kicked up while the other cars are on track. This will NOT be easy, so take your time and drive carefully.
TARGET TIMES:
• GOLD: 1:04.500
• SILVER: 1:07.000
• BRONZE: 1:11.000
IB-5: Old Meets New - Ferrari Showdown!
Car: 1971 Ferrari Dino 246 GTCourse: Apricot Hill Raceway
Mission Type: 1 Lap
You will not be able to complete the IA Mission Races unless you clear the previous four events along with this one. You will be racing the Ferrari Dino 246 GT, named for Enzo Ferrari's son, Dino. It is an absolutely beautiful classic car. You're racing a car from the 1970s, but your opponent is one of the latest (at the time of this game) Ferraris- the Ferrari 458 Italia. Remember Apricot Hill? You will be racing this track using your classic '70s sports car. Unlike the Mission Race under night conditions with the KTM, you will be racing this course in broad daylight, and you will also be racing a full lap around Apricot Hill. Try to keep the Dino 246 GT under control in the corners. You can easily spin this car out if you are not careful. I know full well because... this beautiful car that I love so much... happened to be the first car I rolled over and put on its roof in Gran Turismo 6. So take caution racing this thing!
TARGET TIMES:
• GOLD: 1:45.500
• SILVER: 1:48.000
• BRONZE: 1:53.000
Another one down. Great job! But guess what? There's one more Mission Race set ready to test your skills to the extreme!
This post is just one in a series of posts lined up regarding the Mission Races of GT6. There is still a ways to go in discussing this series of races, so stay tuned to JRS for more in the series! Thank you for reading! Take care and be well.
