A Yellow Concept Car Wins at Grand Valley

Well, I decided to try the "cheat" North American Concept Car in an attempt to get the second of the two Castrol Supra GT's which are prizes in the Grand Valley 300.

q1st 1:36.232rec(blue) Cr20,000

Results:

The first car I lapped was when I was on lap 6.

I lapped the field three times by lap 30, and it, just barely, stuck when I came out of the pits. By the end I had lapped the field six times.

I had no super-disasters, but a few minor losses of control. Notice that my slowest laps would make good fastest laps for some other cars, and even the slowest of my pit laps would give me pole position.

I had quite a few 1:28's (early on) and lots of 1:29's and 1:30's.

I won Cr300,000, and a black/green Castrol Supra GT.

It was disappointing not to break 1-30 with this car, nor even to set a new personal record, but at least it did win the second of the two prize cars for the event, bringing me closer to collecting the lot. In fact, at this point the only race-prize car I had left to win was the red-orange Soarer in the MegaSpeed event.
