So after spending about an hour getting the ZZII setup the way I wanted - I prefer a car with a little oversteer, I decided to take on the "all starts". First up, Trial Mountain.
I was setting a pretty good pace and had a lead of over 2 seconds. The last lap, the Nissan R390 closed the gap to nothing even though I set me fastest lap of the race. I'm able to hold him off however, and I take the victory. Next, Grand Valley.
I get the lead before the first turn and keep it until lap 3. This time it is the 787 on my ass and he passes me like I am standing still in one of the exits of a turn. He disappears at this point, and the only sight I see of him is in the distance of the long strait. The GT40 gets by me as well on the last lap, and I finish 3rd. Tied for the lead in points going to the 'Ring.
The 390 jumps out to a big lead right off the bat, and I never really see him again. I'm holding on to a respectable 2nd about 3/4 of the way around. I get off in the grass a little, but save it and get back on the track. At that moment, the GT40 slams into the back of me and sends me careening, even though there was plenty of space to go around. (Stupid zombie AI!) After the spinning stops, I get back in line in 9th. I push as hard as I can to move up, and on the last, long strait I am picking up some spots. At over 200 mph, one of the cars literally swerves into me, sending me off track and flipping the car. I finish last. 3rd in points heading in to Cape Ring.
I don't get a good start and I'm running 3rd. I'm thinking I need to win this race, so I'm really pushing hard - too hard. I spin on lap 3 and every car in the field runs into me. I'm so frustrated I quit the race and the championship.
Not sure if I'm gong to give it another try with the ZZII tonight, or work on getting a better car. If I could win it with ZZII, it would be really rewarding, but I might smash my PS3 before then.
