So let's continue this series on Gran Turismo 6's Mission Races here on "John's Race Space!"

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: National A

---

^ Some faster cars and tougher challenges await you once you reach the National A-level Mission Races. Are you ready?

Let's try to clear these Mission Races and prove you are a worthy Gran Turismo racing driver.

A-1: European Hot Hatch Battle.

Car: 2011 Renault Mégane R.S. Trophy
Course: Brands Hatch Indy Circuit
Mission Type: Section

Using the first half of the Indy configuration of Brands Hatch, you will be racing a peppy French hatchback around this British circuit. Each corner and kink are tricky on this course, so you will need to drive carefully to avoid overshooting any of the corners on this track.

TARGET TIMES:
• GOLD: 29.500
• SILVER: 31.000
• BRONZE: 34.000

A-2: Classic Sports Car Battle.

Car: 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
Course: Circuito de Madrid
Mission Type: Section

If muscle cars are more your thing, then you'll love this challenge. Circuito de Madrid is a tricky, twisty street course. You will mostly use the second sector of this course. You will need to drive quickly if you want to pass the opponent car in this Mission Races. Try not be too intimidated by the barriers around this track.

TARGET TIMES:
• GOLD: 34.000
• SILVER: 35.000
• BRONZE: 39.000

A-3: Battle at 3,000 Meters - Matterhorn Challenge.

Car: 2001 BMW Z8
Course: Matterhorn Dristelen
Mission Type: Section

Time to take to the mountains of Switzerland for this challenge. This Swiss track is beautiful, and so is your car for this Mission Race- the BMW Z8. Do not underestimate the level of difficulty in this challenge. For you to succeed here, you need to deal with rather severe elevation changes. And unless you want your car to be part of the scenery, keep your eyes on the road and don't lose focus of trying to pass the other three cars.

TARGET TIMES:
• GOLD: 37.300
• SILVER: 38.500
• BRONZE: 42.000

A-4: Night Fight - Apricot Hill Under the Stars.

Car: 2012 KTM X-Bow Street
Course: Apricot Hil Raceway
Mission Type: Section

For the first time in the Mission Races in GT6, you will be racing at night. Nighttime can be entertaining seeing lights shine through the darkness and providing exceptional views. However, the added darkness will impair your judgment as you try to overtake opponents or properly clear corners. Keep these things in mind as you race this lightweight Austrian sports car. You will be using the backstretch of the original GT track Apricot Hill Raceway, which made its debut in Gran Turismo 2 and can be raced on in time/weather variable conditions in GT6. Pass carefully after the first corner, because it can be too easy to either go too deep into the first corner or whack one of the three cars you have to pass. Most important is to try not to cut the chicane leading to the Finish of this section. Hopefully you can handle this section properly.

TARGET TIMES:
• GOLD: 38.000
• SILVER: 39.000
• BRONZE: 44.000

A-5: Old Meets New - Stingray Showdown!

Car: 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (C7)
Course: Willow Springs International Raceway - Big Willow
Mission Type: 1 Lap

At first glance, Willow Springs seems like a fairly easy course. Once you race it, you realize just how tricky and challenging this race course in Southern California really is despite its seemingly simple flow. If you fall into thinking this is a simple course, you are going to pay dearly. So stay alert at all times as you complete one lap around the Big Willow configuration of Willow Springs Raceway while also passing your opposition. You will be racing America's sports car- the C7 model Chevrolet Corvette. Your specific one is the C7 Stingray. As your opponent gets a head start, you must try to overtake the other Corvette while also properly winding your way around Willos Springs. Try to overtake as quickly and efficiently as you can while also trying to navigate this tricky course properly.

TARGET TIMES:
• GOLD: 1:31.300
• SILVER: 1:33.500
• BRONZE: 1:38.000


This one's over. See if you can clear these challenges as best as you can.
