Start-Lap 6
On the start, I was suprised not to be left for dead by the supercars. I managed to dive under the Pagani, TVR, and Aston in Turn 1, and was side-by-side with the Shelby on the exit, but he pushed me off the track. There goes my hope of a clean race.
I was able to get past the Shelby in Turn 2, and took the lead from the Callaway in Turn 3. I managed to extend my lead to about 2 seconds until I made a stupid mistake and went off in Turn 7.
By the end of Lap 4, I had extended the lead to 13 seconds. The Shelby began to close the gap once it got past the Callaway.Margin of Lead - Lap 6: 5.83 sec over Shelby Best Lap: 1'59.718
Lap 7-12
My tires are wearing, the Shelby is coming,
and Lap 11 is too far away. I end up going wide in the first turn on Lap 9 and losing the lead to the Shelby. The Pagani also passes before I pit at the end of the lap. The Aston and TVR pit on Laps 11 & 12, respectively.Margin From Lead - Lap 12: 43.734 sec from Shelby Best Lap: 1'59.269
Lap 13-18
I repass the TVR in Turn 3 on Lap 13. The Shelby pits on Lap 14, the Callaway on Lap 16. Since I know the performance drops suddenly at the end of the run, I pit early and try a new tire combination.💡 I repass the Callaway on Lap 18 in Turn 6. The Pagani is gaining on me.
Margin From Lead - Lap 18: 1'24.736 sec from Pagani Best Lap: 1'59.269
Lap 19-24
I get the lead to under 1 min. on Lap 20. At the rate my tires seem to be wearing, my next stop'll probably involve gas. The TVR pits on Lap 24.
Margin From Lead - Lap 24: 46.628 sec from Shelby Best Lap: 1'58.445
Lap 25-30
I'm losing time to the Shelby. I pit on lap 26 and lose 3rd and 4th spots. The Shelby pits on lap 28, but it doesn't help me a whole lot.
Margin From Lead - Lap 30: 1'23.542 from Pagani Best Lap: 1'58.246
Lap 31-36
I think I see the Aston, but it's the Callaway! I pass him for 4th in Turn 9 on lap 32. He pits at the end of that lap. I lap the Aston on his outlap. I pit on lap 36 and lose a lap to the leader.
Margin From Lead - Lap 36: 1 Lap from Pagani Best Lap: 1'58.246
Lap 37-42
The Zonda pits and I get my lap back. I'm catching someone, but it's the Aston.
Margin From Lead - Lap 42: 1'38.488 from Pagani Best Lap: 1'58.246
Lap 43-48
I battle with the Aston. I wreck. (That's all my notes say, but if I remember right, the Aston shoved me into the sand and I spun) I pit on lap 45, the Callaway follows on Lap 48.
Margin From Lead - Lap 48: 1 Lap from Pagani Best Lap: 1'58.246
Lap 49-54
I pit on lap 54. That's all that happened.
Margin From Lead - Lap 54: 1 Lap from Pagani Best Lap: 1'58.246
Lap 55-60
The Shelby pits and I just pass him on exit. He then proceeds to glue himself to my rear bumper for a few laps. The Zonda pits.
Margin From Lead - Lap 60: 1 Lap from Pagani Best Lap: 1'58.246
Lap 60-Finish
Pit Strategy:
1. Zonda: Good 'til end
2. Shelby: " " "
3. TVR: " " "
4. Callaway: Pit on 64?
5. Me: Pit on 63
6. Aston: Pit on my 63 (His 61 or 62)
The Shelby is still magnetically attracted to my rear bumper. I pit for soft tires to finish the race. The Callaway pits on the next lap, just as I had hoped. I take 4th from him and cruise home.
Final Results:
1. Pagani Zonda C12 - 2 hr. 12 min.
2. Shelby Series 1 S/C - +44 sec
3. TVR Cerbera Speed 6 - +1 Lap
4. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII GSR '01 -Me - +1 Lap
5. Callaway C12 - +1 Lap
6. Aston Martin V8 Vantage - +At least 2 Laps
Thoughts on the Race
This was my first 200 pt. A-Spec Endurance Race attempt, and only the second time I had done an endurance where you have to turn right. I had a good time doing the race and want to do another one soon. However, it won't be for a while, because I'm trying to focus on Photomode and tuning cars. But when I do another Enduro, I'll plan better and hopefully end up in first place.
Maybe in a stock RX-7.
