Here i am again to provide coverage of the Pro Vitz series sponsored by Toyota and PD.
I'm using my Cyan (Citz
) Vitz that i won from the Amateur Altezza race. Mods are: oil change, race suspension, sport brakes, brake balance controller, racing chip, twin plate clutch, racing flywheel, racing transmission *only needed for Torture Course
*, Full LSD, stage 2 turbo, super slick tires, and lightweight 1. All this gives me 243 HP.
Rome Circuit II- 10 laps
So far my car is handling like a dump truck w/ severe power understeer on corner exit.
Maybe when the front tires warm up it'll go away. Currently in last place. I appear to be dead even w/ the AI on straightaway speed, but the understeer is killing me. I've started to close in as my front tires are warmed up and the AI's start to fall off.
The car is still handling like garbage. Tuning before the next race will be required to make the car normal.
It's taken me a little over 4 laps but i've finally caught up to the backmarker AI cars.
With pitstops coming up for them i should be able to take the lead easily. At the end of lap 5, 3 of the AI Vitzes pit for new tires. The other 2 should be in this time by.
I've moved up to 2nd because of the stops. About halfway through lap 6, i finally took the lead from the white AI Vitz. As expected, the 2 other AI Vitzes pit. The power understeer appears to be going away due to better accelerator application.
As i took the lead, every one of the 65,000 people on hand went nuts.
The AI may start another run on me due to new rubber. The AI have closed up a bit as their new tires are warmed up. Currently my tires are yellow up front and green in the rear. On lap 9, i turn my fastest lap @ a 1:39.781. There appears to be a good battle for 2nd between the AI Vitzes. Every person watching this race has been standing up from the second the green flag fell due to all the excitement.
As RVD crosses the start/ finish line, he wins the opening round of the Pro Vitz Series!!
