I managed to win the GT-I Cup with the Mitsubishi GTO LM, though only barely. I came 3rd at High Speed Ring, and 4th at DFRW, giving me only 43 points, the minimum needed to guarantee victory in the six-race series if you win four races. The AI field was relatively strong, so they did trade positions and points as well, so I actually beat the GTO twinturbo 43 to 36. |
So I entered the car in the Grand Valley 300. Previously, it had only barely managed a "good" winning time. It did quite a bit better this time. |
The car was easy to drive, but this time I knew more about making it go faster, and did have fewer mishaps. |

I was disappointed to face such a weak field, but did set a time which should constitute a win against any field, so I have improved with this car as well. |
I got the lead by the end of lap 1, and kept it. By lap 20 I had lapped the three slowest cars, and I had lapped the (slow) field for the first time by lap 25. I had a bit of a fight getting past the Impreza for the second time. That accounted for the slow lap time on lap 47. I finally got by in laps 48 and 49, but the pass didn't stick when I went in for my pitstop on lap 50. |
I finally lapped that car again by lap 53. |
After I finished, the Impreza and the Primera jostled for the lead. (Look at how close their times were). This was interesting because their positions in the on-screen listing kept changing. |
I had no major disasters, and only a couple of minor ones. |
Most laps were 1:35 to 1:38; the lap times seemed to vary more than with some other cars. |
I won Cr300,000, and a black/blue Castrol Supra GT. |
This makes this car once again appear to be the second-slowest Special Model car, although it was 1:20 faster than the NSX-R LM GT2, and beat its own old time by almost three minutes. |
