Maxed Griffith 4.0 Not Quite as Fast as the 500 at Grand Valley

The Griffith 4.0, in the North American game at least, is certainly one of the stars of the game, specing the same as its sister the Griffith 500, although it generally seems a little bit twitchier to handle.

In the warm-up GT-I Cup, it swept all races, and all poles. Although there was no GTO, it beat a '91GT-R and a Castrol Supra.

I led from start to finish again.

My first pit stop was once again at the same time as the GT-R.

By lap 30 I had lapped the entire field twice.

I had trouble, a severe mishap even, when trying to lap the EXIV on lap 42.

I lapped the GT-R again by lap 45, and, once again, it was just behind me going into and out of the pits. (Although this time I did not actually see it in the pit stop).

I lapped the GT-R for a fourth and final time, on the road, on lap 59, but did not manage to lap the NSX-R a fourth time.

Once again, this car seemed a little bit twitchier than the 500, and my laps times were slightly less consistent.

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

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