Lowish-powered FTO GP Version R Cleanly Wins Grand Valley 300 Against a Strong Field

Well, I am preparing for even more challenging Grand Valley 300 entrants, but used the Mitsubishi FTO GP Version R as sort of a warm-up, since tests suggested it should be able to win easily.

   "real game" day 5408
   Friday September 20, 2000
   [R]FTO GP Version R
   Grand Valley 300km Endurance Race
   Qualified: 4th(+0.236) 1:44.758not  8-(

  

Results:

     slowest pit laps   (40in)  1:54.380
                        (41out) 1:45.292
  

I dropped to fifth off the line, but soon began battling the GT-R for 4th place, getting clear into 4th place by the end of lap 2. I then began challenging for third place, getting that by the end of lap 4, and moving up to the lead by lap 5 or 6.

My tires lasted very well, so I made only two stops, and hardly saw the rest of the field after that, except when I began lapping them around the time of my last pit stop.

One thing I noticed was that this car can catch a draft and get extra speed very well. That is why I set the fastest lap on lap 3, while chasing the GT-R LM.

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

This time was almost as fast as my time for the same race the first time I entered the FTO LM Edition.

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

Lucky you! 8-)

Here are the settings I used. They were not very harsh; they were probably the same as I had used for this car a long time ago when shamelessly entering it in the FF event. But this car is naturally very fast for its power.
