Well i've been holed up in the library the last 3 days craming before finals so I felt like doing a really nice fun race. So I chose my favorite car/track combo, Tommy Kaira ZZII at Midfield. Now I equiped my stock ZZII(tuned to my specs of course) with T2's and entered a Professional Aracde race at Midfield with 570HP.
So i start out in 6th of course behind a GT-One, Oreca Viper, R390, Vetigo, and GT40 in that order. Green light drops and we all gun it. I draft off the GT-one into the first turn. Of course the other racers brake way late and go wide and I made a nice turn and i cut inside using the rumble strip and move into 3rd, passing the GT-One, Viper, and vertigo. Going into the sharp right i cut inside the GT40 and move into 2nd. The R390 goes wide and into the dirt so I gain first into the 180. Heading into the sharp left I brake at an odd angle and have to keep the car from getting too squierrly and the GT-One and R390 both cut inside me and pass me. Going into the Straight I am mere feet behind both of them and drafting since i know they will beat me on the straight. My first lap finishes with me in 3rd going a 1:15.021.
Lap 2 starts with little change until the sharp right after T1. The R390 goes off into the dirt again and i pass him again into the 180. At T2 I am about 1.5 seconds behind the GT-One. Again I brake at an odd angle and again the R390 passes me on the final turn. This time he hits the dirt though and i pass him back going onto the straight away in 2nd. I finsh lap 2 in 2nd with a 1:07.132.
Lap 3 starts with some dirty tricks by the R390. He's been drafting me the whole straight and now when i brake into turn 1 he gives me a nudge making me brake and throwing my line off. He takes the inside moving back into 2nd. I follow right behind him until the sharp left. The GT-One hits the dirt and so now all 3 of us are neck and neck. I drift the 180 well enough to make a drifter proud coming out in a 3 wide row with the R390 and GT-One. They both go slightly wide into the sharp left and i wouldve nailed it had I not nailed them instead. I push between them and come out in 2nd behind the GT-One and we enter the final straight where the GT-One pits. At the end of lap 3 I am 1st going a 1:08.947 and .221 ahead of the R390.
The R390 passes me at the end of the straight but I nail the turn and come out back in front. At T1 I am a mere .094 ahead with him making a move to pass me. Again he goes wide and im beginning to wonder where he learned to drive at. I keep my lead for the rest of the lap and finish Lap 4 in 1st with a 1:07.751, 1.9 second ahead of the R390.
Lap 5 is very uneventful with me maintaining my lead and i decide to pit since im fairly confident the R390 will and i want this to be competitive. So I pit in 1st on lap 5 going a 1:21.384 and see a dot coming up hard on the map.
Lap 6 starts out with the GT-One flying by me right out of the pit. At T1 i was 1.4 behind him. Again he hit the dirt on the sharp right and again i passed him into the 180. On the sharp left he cut into my line and forced me into the dirt so I dropped back into 2nd. I was expecting him to pit but he didnt and so I finished lap 6 in 2nd with a 1:12.441, .224 behind him.
Lap 7 starts off poorly for me. I overshoot my braking point and slide into the dirt and just manage to save myself from spinning out, allowing the R390 to pull back within 4 seconds of me. At T1 I am 2.697 behind the GT-One. On the dirt turn he bites it again and I catch back up but dont pass him this time. On the 180 I do pass him and going into T2 I am 1.7 ahead. I finish this lap in 1st with a 1:10.255. The GT-One pits putting me well ahead of the R390 who's in second.
Lap 8 is very uneventful and I want a close race so since im 4.7 ahead of the R390 I intentionally hit the ebrake on the last turn allowing him to pass me. So now after lap 8 I am in 2nd, .6 behind the R390 and going a 1:13.976.
On turn 1 of lap 9 i hit the brakes a bit late and my tail slides throught he dirt a little allowing the R390 to pull ahead slightly. At T1 I am 1.99 seconds behind him. Of course on the dirt turn he hits the dirt and I catch right back up on his tail into the 180. I take the inside on the 180 and pass him exiting the turn. At T2 I am .3 ahead of him. At the sharp left he cuts inside me and takes 1st again. He messes up the chicane and i pull up alongside him and inch my way past him. I finish lap 9 .086 ahead of him with a 1:08.497.
Last lap and I am fairly confident I can win this race. Turn 1 we come out the same we went in with me slightly ahead. As im sure you've guessed by now the R390 bites it into the dirt again and I pull away. At T2 I am 3.5 ahead of him. I hold my position until the finish with a rather anticlimatic finish I think. I went a 1:07.417 on the last lap and win by 4.3 seconds.
I was kinda dissapointed with the finish. After duking it out for 7 laps I had to mess up intentionally to keep it close and then even that didnt make it too close. I tested this combo out before I did this race and after 3 laps I was 4 seconds behind the R390 so I figured this would be a good race. But it was an enjoyable 7 laps so it wasnt all bad.
