I think it would be a lot of fun to have a category for running the GP from a fresh file, with no races run in advance and no money to start.

Just ran it real quick on stream. Got a 1:47:47 and that's realistically as slow as it ever should go. I got third place on several courses, which left me way behind on money. So, I had to run the last race with a class 4 Fatalita. Didn't place like three times. All told, it's a blast as a speedrun. Even if you win all the races, you still can't afford to use class-appropriate cars for all of the races. So, you have to strategize what courses you can win with a lower class car so that you keep progressing and earning as much money as you can. Anyway, yeah, I hope we can add this category because it's a good longer run.

Okay, this category is now added under the name New Game Any%. There is also a New Game 100%, which requires all the cars to be unlocked and upgraded fully and all 11 trophies to be obtained. Plus, the Special and Extra categories have been added to the ILs.

Do I need to upgrade every car to class5 for both of NormalGP and ExtraGP? Or Can I play NormalGP as fast as possible, then I can choose upgrading every car to class5(and Devil car) at DiableGP on ExtraGP?

I'm of two minds about this. If there's going to be any purpose to unlocking the cars, it should be done before completing Tempete / Diable because otherwise you just use unlimited money to get everything. But also I think that would go from fun to route to boring to run really fast. Maybe change the category from New Game 100% to New Game All Gold% and just make the requirement to get all gold trophies from a new game?

Oh also also, it seems like the US & European versions would be at an advantage over the Japanese version in New Game categories because the class 1 car is faster in those versions by a good deal.

Although it's possible other cars are faster in the Japanese version. I haven't tested many of them yet.

Yes, I was thinking Newgame gold% would be better (and maybe that would be better to call that 100% instead gold%) Because you can earn money at the extreme oval on Tempete/Diable GP over over again, then you just upgrade/buy every car.

You're right, US/EU version are faster than JP version at GRADE1 which has around 160km/h(JP version has only 150km/h)

I tried US version of Rage Racer with emulator, there is almost no difference between JP and US. I got 2'35 or 2'36 at Mythical Coast with US Ghepardo in 2018

Anyway, thanks for answering and praising
