In Nismo Game, [R]400R Wins Grand Valley 300, Almost Beating my Cerbera LM!

In the nismo game I used the Nismo 400R as much as possible, so I entered the race-modified version in the Grand Valley 300. This was after playing GT2 almost exclusively for about eight months. I was surprised but glad to see that my GT1 skill seemed to have generally improved.

I had a bad first corner, but regained the lead soon after that, holding it until the finish, in a fairly uneventful race.

This was only a little slower than the Cerbera LM, and once again I lapped the field four, not quite five, times. I think I would have done slightly better with one more pit stop, too.

I lapped the field by lap 14, just before my first pit stop.

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

This is slightly slower than my record with the Cerbera LM, and also slightly slower than the first time I managed with the Concept Car. This may, however, be the only car other than the Concept Car with which I have done sub 1:30 laps during a Grand Valley 300.

Once again, for your analytical enjoyment, I here present all 60 lap times...
