This is my first write up...so here it goes. Ohh and any comments would be greatly appreciated.
I had some suggestions from friends on which car to go with for the endurance race coming up that i was going to compeate in. Some said NSX some said Viper some said Corvette and some said Cobra R. I had a bad experiance in the past with the Viper so not that one, the Cobra R seemed so heavy and that would make for lots of pitting time. The NSX had a bit too much understeer for my tastes. Soo i was stuck with the Corvette, i didn't like it at all, it was a domestic and it had a V8 But i took it anyways in Torch Red, too iluminate the road since the track is known to have some shady corners. Once i got the Z06 i changed out the oil because the officals are quite less than smart and also gave washed it for a better than showroom shine, then i swaped out the tires for some not so grippy T3's, but it would make for a good pitting stratagy.
Once i got to the track i was informed by my pit crew that the ASM and TCS were still on. I ordered them turned off imeadietly(i love my pit crew ) and they did just that. I was lined up in 6th because i had missed qualifying(ohh darn), my compeatiters were a Mazda RX-7, a NSX Type S Zero, a Skyline GT-R V-Spec II (R34, J), a Lancer Evolution VII RS(J), and a Skyline GT-R V-Spec II (R32, J). I did not know how my Z06 would perform since once again i had no time to take it out to the Test Track and test it. Racers to your cars the race will begin in 5 minutes.(5 mins. later)...3...2...1...tires squelled. The NSX as i expected jumped the gun(cheater! ) i passed all the cars except the NSX and the R34 by the time we had gotten to the tunnel. From there it was a battle all the way up to the first long straight away. There the V8 prevaled over the coveted RB26DETT(skyline engine code for those who don't speak JdM Tyte y0!) But the NSX was handeling those corners like a god as my Z06 partially slid through thhem. For the next 23 laps! me and him were swapping positions like Pamala Anderson in a sex flick. After that the race was pretty much mine except for the 53rd lap.... On the 53rd lap the timer in my car read 89'43.012 i was not paying very much attention. Soo i eased off the gas and cruised through the corners softly, when the timer soon read 91'xx.xx i was shocked and got back on the gas i had forgotten 90 mins was not 2 hours it was 1 and 1/2! On the 54th lap i noticed something in my mirror i had not laped and cars recently that i remember. I looked over my shoulder...it was the NSX! I freaked out and gassed it around a corner, i spun the cra sideways and was passed by the NSX. I had cought up too him by the 60th lap and battled him for what i deserved. I got by him and noticed that i had lapped him 2 times before, opps. So i was free to relax the rest of the race.
The race was stopped on the 75th lap and declaired that i had won even though it the clock read only 121'20.566. I would like to thank the track officials for letting me cut the chicanes all those times and for them being so stupid. I would also like to thank my wonderfull pit crew and Chevy actually for building such a track capable and sturdy car.
The race ended on the 75th lap at 121'20.566
Fastest lap: 1'31.324
1st: Corvette Z06(me) 75 laps
2nd: NSX Type S Zero (J) 73 laps
3rd: Mazda RX-7 Type RZ (J) 71 laps
4th: Skyline GT-R V-Spec II (R34, J) 70 laps
5th: Skyline GT-R V-Spec II (R32, J) 68 laps
6th: Lancer Evolution VII RS (J) 68 laps
And you know what i won after all that. A Lister Storm, a peice of junk which will sit in my garage with 0.0 miles forever. I would have liked to have any one of the other 3 cars; the GT-R N1 V-Spec, the S2000 race car, or the FO94/S (i think). But no they give me the only car of the 4 which i hate and i could have bought if i wanted. Thank you for reading my write up i hope it was up to all of your standerds since this is my first.
