NISMO GT-R LM at Grand Valley, and S14 Silvia LM at All-Night I

Nissan NISMO GT-R LM (special model) Grand Valley 300km Endurance Race

q1st(just) 1:44.682not(-0.032) Cr20,000

Results:

I got the lead on lap 3, and never lost it, not even for pit stops. Note that the winning time was slow. I had a terrible first lap (I came off on the first hairpin); does that slow the AI cars down?

I had several other minor disasters, probably 30 or 40 seconds worth in total.

Of course, I won Cr300,000 plus a black/green(again?) Castrol Supra GT.

Again this field, led by the identical other GT-R LM, was not very competitive. I thoroughly lapped the entire field, but would have just barely managed to do so with a "normal" 1-42:00 field.

To finish off the evening, I took the green S14 Silvia LM, won at SSR11 All Night I, and entered it in its own event. Although it won, it did not do quite as well as I expected.

Nissan S14 Silvia LM (green) Special Stage Route 11 All-Night I

Results:

In this race I had a bad start, and then traffic held me up for a few laps, but I never did go as fast as I had managed in practice. I had some good, exciting-looking racing with the second-place TwinTurbo.

The ectoplasm green Silvia won Cr150,000 plus an identical ectoplasm green Silvia.
