Silvia LM Knocks Almost Two Minutes Off in another Grand Valley 300 Win!

Continuing in my "silver" game, I took the Silvia LM awarded in the All-Night I, and entered the Grand Valley 300. I have always found this car to be very pleasant and predictable to drive, and this time was no exception. I hoped to use the Castrol Supra I would win to win the USvsJP Series, and possibly the GT-I, since it's much better than the ChaserLM, and probably better than a tuned GTO'95MR.

                        (46out) 1:43.002
  

I got the lead by the end of the first lap, and lapped the first three competitors permanently by my first pit-stop, which I took quite late, deciding that this car was so easy on tires, and so predicatable even with some tire wear, that three stops would suffice.

On lap 18 I came up on the R32 passing the Impreza, and soon after that lapped them both.

I lapped the GT-R, and therefore the whole field, a second time on lap 38. I finally lapped the GT-R a third and final time on lap 60(!)

This time was almost two minutes faster than my previous best with this car in this event. The field was moderately competitive.

I had no disasters at all, just a few minor off-track excursions.

Only one lap time was less than 1:34, but a lot of them were 1:34's and 1:35's.

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

Once again I actually recorded all lap times, as follows:
