I'm not very good, so here's how I did in the Rome Two Hours. |
==>1. [R]Concept Car LM Edition 2-00:09.0 (87 laps completed) | |
2. [R]Venturi Atlantique 600LM +8.227 (2-00:17.2) | |
3. [R]Toyota GT ONE'99 +16.599 (2-00:25.6) | |
4. [R]Nissan R390 GT1 '97 +1:10.383 (2-01:19.4) | |
5. [R]STP Taiser Viper GT +6.369 (2-00:15.4) | |
6. Jaguar XJ220 GT Race Car 2laps | |
As you can imagine, it was a lot of tense fun, especially since I spun on lap two and was coming from behind most of the races. Pit stops 10,27,45,62,79 (soft/soft slicks). I spun on lap 79, too meaning I lost the lead on the last stop, too, but the GT-ONE pitted soon after that. And I really didn't realize the Venturi was so close. |
You though that was close? |
I drove the Monte Carlo Mini in the Seattle 100. |
==>1. [R]Rover Mini 1275S MarkI 1-09:48.5 | |
2. Mustang SVT Cobra '98 +0.847 (1-09:49.3) | |
3. Shelby GT350 '66 +33.268 (1-10:21.8) | |
4. Plymouth Superbird +2:44.109 (1-12:32.6) | |
5. Plymouth 'Cuda '70 +3:13.335 (1-13:01.8) | |
6. Plymouth GTX +5:38.154 (1-15:26.7) | |
Two pit stops, at 14 and 27 of 40 laps. |
Almost makes me believe there is a handicap algorithm in the Enduro races. There didn't seem to be one in GT1. I raced the GV300 49 times, and I both won and lost when the NSX-R LM GT2 managed 1-41:50, and each model of AI car seemed to finish at very close to some time particular to the model. |
In the above Seattle race, I was a solid third until the AI cars pitted, after which I alternated first and second depending upon the pit situation, gaining the lead when the Mustang pitted on lap 34. |
I missed a gear change on lap 38, costing me two seconds. (I was a gear down from where I thought I was going into the near-hairpin in the centre of the course). That had the Mustang nipping at my heels, and I had to be forceful with it on the last two laps. |
I'll try with a metallic raspberry '70 'Cuda next, because my Dad used to own a Valiant. It seems to be able to go just a shade faster than the Mini. |
Interesting that one AI non-muscle car seems to usually show up for the race. In the preview I watched, there was a Griffith 500 lapping at about 1:44 (according to my stopwatch), but the Mustang managed faster than that, I'm sure. |
