This is a route to get you started with the category and to help you if you get lost. This is probably not the absolute fastest route, as the category is so long as to be very unoptimized, so feel free to deviate where you deem appropriate. This document will be edited whenever I make non-minor route changes (i.e. using a different car for a certain event).

Here's what you need to know before you get started: Dig out your old PS2. Emulators aren't allowed. Both NTSC and PAL versions are accepted. The completion screen should show 235 wins (or more if you have to farm credits) and 98.2%/100.0% completion at the end. You can pause the timer by exiting to the main menu and saving (the timer pauses when you see "save complete" and restarts as soon as you choose the memory card to load from). Keep in mind, though, that runs have a seven-day time limit from the minute you start the run, and you can't re-enter the game in between saves and loads.

Obtain licenses. B through S, since you need to run the Event Generator. Go to Toyota, buy the cheapest used Supra you can (I pick the red one), then add a Stage 1 turbo and Weight Reduction. Run '80s 5 (394 HP race at Tahiti Road), giving you the R30 Skyline Silhouette Formula. Switch to this car. Run Convertible Car World Cup 3, then switch to the Concept Car LM. Run the 591 HP events, listed here: Apricot Hill 200k Don't forget to switch to supersoft tires, as there is no difference in tire wear between compounds, and change the setup. Check your prize car here. If it's the Viper GTS-R, kill the run. The fastest way through the lower-HP events is the Stratos. Grand Valley 300k Seattle 100 Miles MR Cup 3 Luxury Car Cup 3 Convertible Car World Cup 3 GT Car Trophy 3 Pure Sports Trophy 3 Tuned NA No. 1 Cup GT300 Championship Sell everything except the Stratos and Concept Car LM, then buy the Escudo. Run the free-HP events, listed here: Sunday Cup 1-3 Don't forget to switch to supersoft tires and set the car up to your liking. Clubman Cup 1-3 Muscle Car Cup 1-3 Tuned Turbo No. 1 Cup 1-3 GT All Stars 1-5 GT500 Championship Event Generator Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert All of the Rally races Before you begin the next event, switch back to supersoft tires. Laguna Seca 200 miles Rome 2 Hours (more like Rome 1:45) SSR5 All-Night Go to Mazda, buy a Demio LX G-Package, tune up to 98 horsepower, add Weight Reduction 1-3 (but do not RM, we need this car for later) Run Kei Car Cup races 2 and 3 Further tune Demio to 147 HP Run Kei Car Cup 1 Switch to Stratos, then go to Lancia and add the following parts: Weight Reduction 3, then RM Racing Transmission Supersoft tires Racing suspension Run the 197 HP events, listed here: Japanese Nationals 1 Italian Nationals 1 UK Nationals 1 German Nationals 1 80's Sports Car Cup 1 Add Stage 1 Turbo to Stratos, then run the 246 HP events, listed here: French Nationals 1 American Nationals 1 Compact Car Cup 1, 2 Convertible Cup 1 Historic Car Cup 1 Add Stage 3 Turbo to Stratos, then run the 295 HP events, listed here: Japanese Nationals 2 French Nationals 2 Italian Nationals 2 American Nationals 2 German Nationals 2 Compact Car Cup 3 Historic Car Cup 2 This is the infamous race with the illegal GT40, so pray to the RNG gods that it doesn't show up.
