I'm currently doing this championship in my Zonda LM Race Car, stage 4 turbo.
Around 63 A-Spec points for each race.
1st Race: Tokyo R246
I'm up against the Minolta Toyota, Nissan 92, and 89 race cars, CLK GTR and the Vertigo race car. I used soft tyres to qualify first. Then I put racing medium tyres on the front and hard on the back to start of the race.
Apart from the start (I was beaten slightly in acceleration) the Zonda did well and I was slowly gaining about 1 second each lap. I pitted on lap 6-7 and they pitted one lap after. Won by about 10 secs.
2nd Race: Twin Ring Motegi SS
Again used RS tyres to qualify but only managed second. Poor Zonda was instantly overpowered from the word go. Minolta and both Nissans were steadily gaining time on me. They pitted just over half way and i retook the lead. Tyres were'nt that bad so I was going to do the whole race without pitting. Lap 19 they started catching up again, my tyres were gone. Ended up finishing in second place behind the Nissan 92/Minolta (cant remember which one). At this stage I tried to buy Super Hard tyres but wasn't allowed. Looks like I'll have to do it the hard way.
3rd Race: Hong Kong
I'd heard about this and knew it was going to be hard. Qualified first. Started well and stayed around 4-6 seconds in the lead. Pitted at lap 8 and knew I was in trouble. The Minolta pitted with me on the same lap (it usually does on most races) but Nissan 92 took off ahead. Re-took the lead by had to pit again on lap 16. Ended up 5 seconds behind the Nissan 92 in second place, the Minolta behind me.
At this point I think I was equal first in points with either the Nissan or Toyota, the other not far behind. The Nissan 89, GTR, and Vertigo were out off it.
Though I was doing pretty well at this stage.
4th Race: Seoul Reverse
As soon as I raced my two qualifying laps I knew this was one race I'd win. The Zonda raced well and had no competition. Kept myself busy by taking tenths of my best lap. Got it down to 49.018 (or something very close to this). I even had time to pit twice (the minolta also pitted twice but I'm not sure about the nissan) and won by around 25 secs. Another 63 A-Spec points. I need this to take the lead by 4 points in the total ranking.
5th Race: El Capitan
Now this was one nerve-racking race. Qualified first but because of the long straight at the start, both nissian's and the toyota took the lead. Caught back up to them though a couple corners later though. Focused and gaining time because I knew I'd have to pit twice with the Nissan only pitting once. Twice I had gotten out to 6-7 second lead but spun out, both times I was passed. Both the Minolta and myself pitted at lap 5, Nissan at 6. This is where it gets interesting. I knew the Nissan was going to win because we had to pit twice so I was going to run thr risk of spinning out on the last lap to win the race. On laps 7-9 I was driving really well trying to at least get a lead on the Nissan so I had room for error. Lap 11 came and my 7 second lead was quickly dying. Tyres were orange, I was starting to panic and make stupid mistakes. Ran wide onto the sand and entered the last section with only a 2 second lead. This is where I would die or live. The last undulating bit was really hard as I was trying to stop the Zonda from spinning out. It was having trouble accelerating and the traction control sign was lighting up. Entered the last straight and gunned it. A race to the finish. I could see the Nissan catching me fast in my rear view mirrow.
!!!! !!!! $$$ flashed up on the screen as I beat him by just .3 of a second and took home a well deserved $25,000 in cash.
This first placing boosted me up 8 points in the lead
6th Race: New York
Just like Seoul, I knew I'd won from the qualifying laps. Not much happened on this. Ended up winning by 25secs and lapping the poor Vertigo (sometimes you feel sorry for it).
Thats all the races I've done so far. I'll update later. Hope you liked it.
