This car is a good choice for this race....when tuned it wil easily beat the competition with a healthy margin..
in the trial mountain stage my line up was
1. MS Elise
2. ZZS(J)
3. Elise 190
4. RUF 3400s
5. S2000 type V(J)
6. Vauxhall VX220
the biggest threat here is the MS Elise so i use the settings here with a fairly wide gear set up and T5 tyres in order to pit in after the 5th lap and catch the leader (if nessesary) with the remaining 5 ....
its very common to get the TVR 500 in this group in place of the ZZS in which case the TVR is you main rival.
the VX220 is an excellent handler with stock settings but i gave the NA tuning all i could throw at it because the MS Elise seems un-naturally fast in this race....
with the T5s the handling is much improved and the car is stable and by the end of the 5th lap you should have a 20+ second lead on the Elise so i pitted in and came out about 2 seconds behind the Elise, who seemed more determing than ever to thwart my attempts to win...it took a lap and a half before i passed him and he stuck to me like glue for the next lap...but i though he would pit in...(he never did)
the rest of the field were way back my this time and i was gaining 15 second advantage on the elise and on the 7th lap the s2000 and Ruf pitted in....so i was cruising when just after T2 on the 8th, i was feeling a bit cocky and cut the sharp right hander with the small grass verge...i spun backwards like a bowling ball on vaseline and came to a sudden halt....i reversed and handbrake-skidded forward to get into the race again when the elise over took as i was gaining speed...
i spent lap 9 and 10 gaining a small advantage on this to win the race by 6+ seconds...this would have been over 25 seconds if i didnt spin...
so its easy to win using this car and i even pitted when the second fastest didnt didnt...if i changed my strategy and didnt pit i would have a 50+ second lead on this race....
end results..
