[R]FDRX7'91 Wins the Grand Valley 300 in mazda game

In the mazda game (Maybe here), I used the 1991 FD RX7 Type R for many races.

So I decided to enter the race-modified version in the Grand Valley 300.

   Game: mazda
   Day: 88
   Date: Feb 09, 2003
   Race: Grand Valley 300KM Endurance Race
   Car: orange/green Mazda [R]FD efini RX-7 '91 Type R
   Qualified: 1st 1:41.166new  (-3.312) Cr20,000
   Result: 1st
   Money: Cr300,000
   Prize-Car: black/blue Castrol Supra GT


   Results:

   1st: *[R]FRRX7'91 TypeR        1-35:38.0
   2nd:  [R]GT-R LM                +437.462  (1-42:55.5)  prob 4 laps
   3rd:  [R]IMPREZA RLY Ed         +477.870  (1-43:35.9)  4 laps
   4th:  [R]Celica GT-Four         +620.853  (1-45:58.9)  prob 6 laps
   5th:  [R]Lancer EvoIV GSR       +650.504  (1-46:28.5)  6 laps
   6th:  [R]Accord Sedan           +804.880  (1-49:02.9)  7 maybe 8 laps

   Pits:  12,25,37,49
   fl(55): 1:31.525

   lap 1   1:39.730
   slowest  non-pit  (47)  1:47.150
             next    (20)  1:39.692
   fastest pit laps   (12in)  1:49.194
                      (50out) 1:39.706
   slowest pit laps   (25in)  1:52.111
                      (38out) 1:41.583

I dropped to second behind the Impreza for a while, but regained the lead early on the first lap, before the second hairpin, and then pulled steadily away into a commanding lead.

I never dropped out of first during my pit stops.

Although I must have passed the GT-R earlier, I finally saw it towards the end, when I must have been lapping it for at least the third time.

I had a nasty time-consuming mishap on lap 47 when I snagged myself on the inside of the double hairpin at the end of the track.

This result was almost identical to the time I set the last time I used the Mazda special model RX-7 LM. Almost identical, as in only 20.3 seconds faster!

59   1:36.093   1-34:03.734
60   1:34.354   1-35:38.088

Actual total count, at 800BDB74, was 00578E68, or 5738088 thousandths of seconds. So the above is exactly right.

<<-- Tuning Advice-->>

Here are the settings.


           My Settings

Tires           S    S
  max parts  (TS3)

Spring Rate     7.4   5.6   (notmax, notmax)
Ride Height     109   109   (high, high)
Dampers          4     4
Camber          1.8   1.0
Stabilizers      3     2
Brake Balance   12    12

Turbo Boost        6        (max)

        1st       3.550
        2nd       2.027
        3rd       1.360
        4th       1.032
        5th       0.830
                  -----
        FD        3.650

Aero           0.70  0.96  (max,max)

The settings are quite moderate, to try and avoid the infamous handling quirks of this series of RX-7's in Gran Turismo.
