After I was kicked of the WRS,I decided to race some enduro's.I picked up my stock Zonda Race Car and go and see wich enduro.Then I saw it "SS11 , The start of a long night" I watched a preview of wich cars race in there and it turned up to be a very challenging race.

Line-up after one qualification session:

1.Toyota GT-One Race CAR (TS020) : 1.48.523
2.Pagani Zonda Race Car(me) : 1.50.231
3.Pagani Zonda race Car : 1.54.112
4.Viper GTS-R Team Oreca : 1.54.877
5.Corvette C5R : 1.55.289
6.Jaguar XJ220 Race Car : 1.56.931


Pit Srategy:

GT-One : lap 7 ,14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49.
Zonda(me) : lap 10 ,20,30,41
Zonda :lap 5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50(!)
Viper + Corvette: 6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48
Jaguar ; lap 24,48



The start:

The GT-One begins out of pole,me at his tale.At the first corner ,I was pushed out by the Viper,The Zonda is now on the tale of the toyota.At lap 5,I'm still strugling with the Viper while the Zonda pits in.A lap later,the corvette and the viper pits in.At this moment,I'm down to 12.361 seconds from the leader(The GT-One).At lap 7,I'm 9.333 seconds behind him because of his tire wear ,and then he pits.I drove as fast as I can to pull a large gap between us but when I pit, he's is nearly 6 seconds behind.So when I came out of the pit lane,I was again 2nd at 15 seconds.
The gap between me and the third position in hand of the Zonda was already very big.At lap 14,the toyota pits again and I'm driving in first position again.But again,not for long,on lap 19 one lap before I pit,he's just 9 seconds behind,I knew it would be very close racing.


Positions after the first half of the race:

1.Toyota GT-one
2.Zonda Race Car(me)
3.Viper GTS-R Team Oreca
4.Zonda Race Car
5.Corvette C5R
6.XJ220 Race CAR



Into the second half of the race then!At lap 29,I took the lead over at 24 seconds but I had to pit on lap 30.So after this pitstop,I came out at 9 seconds before him?
Very odd I tought ,he doesn't seem to push it any more.Anyway,after my pitstop ,the gap was getting bigger by 12 seconds.At lap 35 the toyota pits again while he is 16 seconds behind.After his stop,he's 35 seconds behind.At the back of the race ,the big fight for the third and last podium position is still going on between the Viper and the Zonda.At lap 40,I decided to pit a lap later so my tires would be fresher at the end of the race,so I pit at lap 41.At lap 42,the toyota pits but with a very smaller getting gap.At lap 48,the toyota pits again,so the gap was now very big between us.At lap 49 the gap was 50 seconds,the race was mine!


Final race positions:

1:Zonda Race CAR(me): 93.42.563
2.GT-One:+43.523
3.Zonda Race Car: + 1 lap(s)
4.Vipêr GTS-R Team Oreca:+1lap(s)
5.Corvette C5R : +2 laps
6.XJ220 Race Car:+3 laps


Fastest lap time : 1:48.136,Set on lap 33.

I was awarded with a prize of 500,000 credits and a car called P002.Also I completed 75% of the game,wich awarded me a 787B.
 
I ran this race in the R390, because R11 is my worst track, and I was worried seeing the TS020 in the lineup. In the event, I put him 2 laps down by the end, which I don't like to do. Good job in the Zonda racer! I've never driven it; maybe I'll give this race another go in the Zonda.
 
Awesome write up!

I've also never gaven the Zonda Race Car a run. So I might give it a couple laps around complex string just too see out it really is. ;)
 
You should do it,I'm very happy about his car.But when racing an enduro with the Zonda,put up hard tires :) 👍 That's why I use the Zonda,with the GT-One,R390 and the 787B its always so boring.Gotta keep the fun in a race 👍
