Race #1. Tokyo route 240 Reverse.
This race wasn't as exciting as I wished. Because of the fact, that my car has MR drivetrain, I decided to switch rear tyres to racing-hard and front to racing medium tyres. That was my mistake :nervous:...
We all started at the same time. At first I tried to get on the 1st place, but when I realized I can't (didn't know why yet...) I just got on the 3rd position and drove along. The dissapointing came on the first corner: my car started
to skid and I fell to 5th position. On the second corner last car overtook me and I was already angry. The rest of the race was just terrible. Cornering was bloody hard. I finished on the 6th postion. No comments...:grumpy:

Race #2 Suzuka Cicrcuit East Course
This race made me happier. On the first lap I struggled with Nissan Loctite Zexel, but finally I got on the 1st postion. Everything was going well and I was getting more and more ahead of the rest of the cars. I worried a bit on tenth lap, when I fell off the road. However, I lost only half a second to the second car. On the last lap (twelveth) I was really scared. I fell to the sand and had problems with getting out of this s%it. The second car, unfourtunately, did well and almost overtook me. Luckily, in the end I got on the road and drove to the end. Arrived 1st, fourtunately. :sly:
1st Honda Raybrig NSX :sly: :dopey:
2nd Nissan Loctite Zexel GT-R

I'll write about all 10 races so stay tuned.

Race #3 Seoul Central
This was a quite easy race. We started driving 80 km\h. On the first lap I overtook all the cars, except the Honda Loctite Mugen. :grumpy: I was chasing it till the 7th lap, when I finally overtook it. :dopey:
The rest of the race wasn't very exciting, I was just driving and getting more and more ahead of the 2nd Honda Mugen. Finally, I won. :sly:

Race #4 Fuji Speedway 90's
This is the circuit I know better than any other. I started from 6th position :grumpy: But what can you do? On the first corner I was hit by one of cars behind me and almost fell off road :nervous: fourtunately not :dopey: Anyway, I passed almost all the cars. On the first lap I strugggled with Nissan Motul Pitowork. As I tried to overtake, I had to brake and corner, while Nissan Pitwork was getting away from me. :grumpy: At last, I passed it on the long straight and went far far ahead of it. On the third lap I fell off road and lost about 5 seconds of my advantage :nervous: The Pitwork was near behind me till lap 6. But? What's this? In my mirror I can see the Pitwork skidding just before the long straight :bowdown: Idiot... :dopey: In the end, I finished first.

Race #5 Twin ring motegi
It was such an interesting and exciting race :dopey: We started from 80 km\h. I was chasing 5 cars ahead of me for 2 laps. On the third, I finally got the 3rd position. For next 2 laps, I was struggling with Honda Mugen. When I passed it, the last car I had to overtake was my abhorrence - Nissan Motul Pitwork :grumpy: But on 7th lap it skid a bit :dopey: and I took my chance and get past him. :sly: My good mood did not last long :grumpy: Pitwork got on my tail and we where chasing ourselves for about 4 laps. When I got 1st, it chased me until it overtakes me. When it did, I tried to get past him and all the story was repeating. Fourtunately, I won... 00.038 s ahead from Pitwork!! :nervous: :bowdown:

Race #6 Laguna Seca Raceway
This was such a hard race beacuse of the fact that everywhere near the circuit there is sand :nervous: I knew it will be problematic to get the first position. From the beginning of the race I tried to get the best place. After 3 corners I was 4th. Not bad at all :dopey:. On the third lap I got past Pitwork :sly: and got on the position 2. After 2 more laps I finally got 1st. :dopey: Everything was going well until I fell out of the road :grumpy: And Nissan Loctite Zexel went pass me. :grumpy: I was chasing him but I didn't sucseed in getting past him. :( On the last lap I fell off the road again and almost got overtaken by Pitwork :nervous:. It was hard to keep on 2nd place. However, I did it.

As always, I started form the 6th position. When we saw the green light engines started to work. I quickly got on the 3rd postion, at first passing Honda Takata (noob :grumpy: ) Ahead of me were Pitwork and Nissy Zexel :) . We were fighting for the first position for almost 2 laps :grumpy: I would be calm if Pitwork wasn't behind me. :grumpy: Fourtunately, it skid :dopey: :bowdown: as always in important moments of race. :thumbsdown: However, Zexel didn't let me forget about itself. So I decided to punish him :sly: On the Long Straight, when it was trying to overtake me, I suddenly broke and it hit in my back :sly: and skid :dopey: But soon I also fell on the sand :grumpy: and lamost got overtaken. Luckily I safely got to the end on 1st position.

Race #10 Suzuka Circuit
This was the last race. Although I tried, several times I fell on the sand. On the first lap I got on the postion 2 and continued to chase the first car - Pitwork :grumpy:. When I got on the first position, I fell out of the road and Pitowrk passed me. :nervous: I was trying to overtake him but because of the fact I drove much faster then I ought to, I fell off the road another 3 times. It finished for me on 5th postion. :grumpy: But no matter what, I won the overall classification :dopey: 100k cash and Nissan Motul Pitwork Z went to my garage :sly: But I still prefer my Honda.

This was my first JGTC championship along with my first race report. I'm gonna do some more reports soon. Thanks for reading. C ya!
 
So you basically cheated to stay ahead of the loctite in the ninth round....


And for the record the JGTC NSX's all suck, the Supras, GTRs and the Pitwork Z can all go at least 2 seconds a lap faster.

ZING.
 
well, even if I didn't make the loctite fell off the road, I'd win anyway, coz it was 3rd in the overall classification. I knew that so I wanted to have some fun.

And for the pitwork case - it really isn't better than any honda. It can only accelerate quickly, but its top speed is just terrible. On the Long Straight I got past him several times without any problems. Don't even mention the handling... 👎

Check the car before writing lies ok? i'd be thankful.
 
Funny, in all my days of racing in the JP GT championship, I've never gone against the Motul Pitworks Z car, and I've always wanted to size it up with my used 97 Skyline. All I get during the races are Nissan GT-Rs and 2 NSX's. But then I'm running at around 720 HP using Sports Tires....
