10 Laps of Tokyo
Arcade/ pro level
After gettin news of a qick race occuring in downtown Tokyo I headed to my garage to see what I had that would compete. Rumours said that my arch rival Mr X would be there in his RX7-RS. I decided That my silver r34 gtr would be up to the task and hopped in...
Typically late, I missed qualifying by several minutes so I lined up last on the grid and chacked out the butts of my opponents, keeping an eye out for Mr X....
the line up:
6th: me
5th: mustang
4th: clk
3rd: wrx 02
2nd: and there he was, Mr X
1st: vette grand sport
Impatiently the racers rev thier engines waiting for the green light (Mr X stays cool and calm). RED... YELLOW... GREEN!
And we are off! I quickly nail the accelerator and by the tunnel the stand and clk are biting my dust! I am close on the tail or the scooby his brilliant white butt hypnotising me. We are thru the tunnel and I try to take the scoob on the next right but he cuts me off and I ease off the gas so I dont hit him. I cut down the inside of the next corner and in a late braking manuver take the white scoob out. He swipes at my butt trying to spin me out but doesnt succeed.
now to chase the leaders who havent had holdups like me. They are now about 4 seconds up and I am catching them, slowly (2 secs down).
2 laps later and Mr X takes the lead. the Vette having grip problem drops in for fresh rubberhanding me 2nd. I'll last about 4 laps on my tires so I go around for another lap. Half way through the 4th lap I see the tail of Mr X and by the last corner I am a little less than a second down. He pits and so do I as my front tires are now red as i have been having problems getting into a rhythm.
While pitting the vette takes 1st but Mr X and i take him within a lap and jostle possitions for a while.
lap eight. I have the lead by about 1.5 seconds and I figure that Mr X has need for a tire change so I head in for new rubber (myn are deep orange front). As I pull in Mr X whizzes past not pitting at all and I swear he gives me the finger. Committed to pitting now there is nothing I can do. I pull out of the pitts in record time about 1 second ahead of the vette and chase down my arch nemesis who has a good lead on me. As I reach the half way mark I realise I have made good time on this lap (9th) but am still a good 10ish seconds down.
Just as I am about to throw the towel in Mr X pits with only one lap to go. I rocket past the start/finish reaching the tunnel as Mr X leaves the pits and with the vette just entering the pit the race, I now realise, is mine and i criuse slowly to victory a full 7 seconds ahead of the RX7.
all cars stock, only tcs and asm adjusted.
stay tuned for the next battle with Mr X... what will he drive next?
