Acura [R]NSX-R LM GT2 Special Model Redeems Itself in the Grand Valley 300

   Sunday August 15, 1999
   "real game" day 4133
   [R]NSX-R LM GT2
   Grand Valley 300km Endurance Race

      q1st 1:43.623not     Cr20,000
  
  

Results:

      1st  [R]NSX-R LM GT2      1-40:26.1<--
     2nd  [R]GT-R LM            +151.043   (1-42:57.1)
     3rd  [R]Impreza RLY Ed     +190.363   (1-43:36.5)

      lap 1   1:44.051
     pits   10,20,30,40,50
     fl  (52)  1:34.219
     slowest  non-pit   (49)  1:46.234
               next     (59)  1:45.973
     fastest pit laps   (10in)  1:51.664
                        (11out) 1:43.419
     slowest pit laps   (40in)  2:02.366
                        (41out) 1:48.553
  

I got a reasonably good start; the slow field made it easy to get the lead by the end of the first lap. I led from lap 2 to the end, lapping the field for the first time by lap 40, and for good a few laps later.

I basically drove a steady race, but did get tired near then end and have a few minor disasters and slow laps then. Although my time could have beaten a fast field, the extra pressure of a fast field might have reduced my time somewhat, since this is not a good car for driving when nervous.

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