Nissan Silvia spec-R vs Acura Integra Type-R -- Trial Mountain

[chuyler1]

Online race from last night. 450pp lobby restriction. Racing Soft tires. This was a close one.

My first race in the Silvia and I was still working on the suspension when the race started. After watching the video it's pretty clear that I was bottoming out on hard corning which was causing me to lose grip on my outside front tire. The Acura made me work for every turn.

I was trying to protect the inside and ran a little slower than usual on some turns to make sure I didn't run wide on exit. He got around me twice via the draft and some late braking but I brought it in tight on last turn to steal the inside line and get the win. All clean racing, no contact. The way I like it!

Great racing, you nailed it on the last turn.
The guy in the ford ka did allright.
Was there any boost?

I think the other guy was quicker in the first part of the track, but you had him past the hairpin and you killed him in the final S curve every single time.

Boost was off...but the draft made both cars pretty equal.

Yeah I need to work on getting rid of the understeer in that car to speed up the first sector. Burning up the outside front tire was killing my times.
