In Proper Game, Normal Prize [R]Impreza STi Wins GV300

In the proper game (Maybe here) I decided to use the race-modified Subaru Impreza WRX-STi Version III (Normal Prize) in the Grand Valley 300.

It was, as might be expected, a very easy win.


   Game: proper
   Day: 92
   Date: May 20, 2001
   Race: Grand Valley 300KM Endurance Race
   Car: Subaru [R]Impreza WRX-Sti Version III (Normal Prize)
   Qualified: 1st(+6.160) 1:38.501new
   Result: 1st
   Money: Cr300,000
   Prize-Car: black/blue Castrol Supra GT

   Results:

   1st:* [R]Impreza'96SD STiIII   1-35:41.4new
   2nd:  [R]GTO twinturbo          +396.081  (1-42:17.5) 3 laps
   3rd:  [R]NSX-R LM GT2           +397.191  (1-42:18.6) 3 laps
   4th:  [R]Castrol Supra GT       +402.760  (1-42:24.2) 3 laps
   5th:  [R]R32GT-R'91             +408.497  (1-42:29.9) 3 laps
   6th:  [R]Lantis Type R          +756.901  (1-48:18.3) 6 or 7 laps

   Pits:  12,24,30,45
   fl(4): 1:31.141new

   lap 1   1:41.131
   slowest  non-pit   (43)  1:39.144
             next     (37)  1:37.168
   fastest pit laps   (12in)  1:52.503
                      (31out) 1:39.910
   slowest pit laps   (45in)  1:53.760
                      (46out) 1:42.094

I basically zipped into the lead, although I had to jostle with the Skyline a little bit on the first lap.

I lapped the Lantis on lap 8.

The race was mostly uneventful, although I did lose control at the first hairpin once, after trying to pass the NSX on the outside going into it. That was probably lap 43.

The biggest excitement came when I had to alter my pit-stop strategy after accidentally pitting on lap 30. Based on my pre-race testing, I decided I could stretch the shifts out and make only one more pit-stop.

At the finish I was just about to lap the Skyline yet another time.

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

My time was my fastest Impreza time to date, beating the Rally Edition and the 1994 Wagon.

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

Note that my second half time was faster than my first, although I think I would have been a little bit faster if I had stuck to my original pit strategy of four evenly-spaced stops.

59   1:35.420   1-34:07.245
60   1:34.230   1-35:41.475

Actual total count, at 800BDB74, was 00579BA3, or 5741475 thousandths of seconds. So the above is exactly right.

printf("%d\n", 0x579BA3);
