Nismo GT-R LM (Special Edition) Improves Time at the Grand Valley 300

Since I seem to have improved my Grand Valley 300 ability, I am gradually re-evaluating all the special models. The GT-R LM improved its time by just over three minutes.

Prior to entering the Grand Valley 300, I won the GT-I Cup with this car, 51 to 37. I came second at Trial Mountain, losing there to the GTO twinturbo, but did manage to win at Deep Forest, even though I qualified 6th.

I found this car pleasant to drive before, and it was pleasant this time.

Results:

Although I lapped the two last-place cars by lap 10, it didn't stick though the pit stop. By lap 24 I finally lapped the field.

I lapped the other GT-R twice by lap 40 (although it didn't stick, of course), but I did eventually lap it a third time. I didn't quite manage to lap the Supra GT three times.

I had no major disasters, and only a couple of minor ones.

Most laps were 1:34's and 1:35's.

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

Once again, I found this car very pleasant to drive. Although its rear-end can be controlled nicely, it does not tend to come around unexpectedly.
