==Strategy==
The Hypercar Parade is a deceptively difficult series. This is largely down to the massive disparity between the perform capabilities of each vehicles, with opponents such as the Aston Martin Vulcan and Valkyrie proving to be the toughest challenge. However, there is no limit on the Performance Point cap or required tires, enabling the player to tune any road car of their choosing to the maximum performance possible. As the name suggests, supercars and hypercars are strongly encouraged.
Alternatively and perhaps more simply, purchasing a top level Vision Gran Turismo road car such as the Dodge Tomahawk S or Ferrari, as these by default outclass every opponent in the series and don't require any tuning to be competitive. These are also cheaper and more easily accessible than most opponents in the series, making them desirable options.
==Trivia==
*For certain races, certain drivers' cars changed colors.
**Andrew Brooks's SLR goes from Crystal Laurit Silver to Crystal Galaxit Black at Monza and Interlagos, with Roberto Sternberg taking over the silver car at Monza.
**Adriano Carrazza's 918 goes from Sapphire Blue Metallic to Racing Yellow in races from Sainte-Croix onward.
***In earlier versions, Carrazza's 918 was originally Racing Yellow in the races at Trial Mountain, Le Mans and Kyoto, before becoming Sapphire Blue Metallic at Monza and Interlagos; this was changed in the Spec II v1.40 update, and he only drives the yellow 918 in races after Interlagos.
**Kanata Kawakami's GT goes from Mark II Black with Racing Stripes to Centennial White with Racing Stripes at Interlagos.
**Coque Lopez's Vulcan goes from Helios to Dark Craft at Monza and Interlagos.
**Takuma Miyazono's Enzo goes from Rosso Corsa to Rosso Mugello at Monza and Interlagos.
**Adam Tapai's Veneno goes from green trim to red trim at Monza and Interlagos.
**AI driver C. Allain's MC20 changes from Bianco Audace to Rosso Vincente from Red Bull Ring onward, with Valerio Gallo taking over the white car in the same races.
*Despite the in-game text for Hypercar Parade events explicitly stating that collisions are strictly forbidden (sic), there are no penalties for car or wall collisions.
