Twin Ring Motegi 8 hr Endurance Event.
Car: Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex (AE86) Shuichi Shigeno
(check my setups for settings)
In practice I ran 2' 09.597 on S3/S3 tires.
Trans ratios set with the "Trans Trick" with the rear ratio at 4.150.
First attempt,........ 315 hp, (stage 2 turbo) is a little too much here. Detuned to 243 hp to make it more fair by loosing turbo and opting for a stage 3 N/A tune. Now the Amuse Honda S2000 R1 is faster in the straights but with carful driving I can catch him in the corners. Good racing that way!!!
Keep reseting the race until you get the line up with the Amuse Honda S2000 R1, It is the class of the of the other cars. He pits every 32 or 33 laps or so, (must be on S1/S1 tires with more power than I have). I pitted every ten laps on S3/S3 tires. I had to keep my lap times down considering I was eating up so much time in and out of the pits.
I traded off with B-Spec Bob a few times and always got in the hole with him. He's much slower by 4 or 5 seconds a lap. As it is the Corolla is only a half second faster than the Amuse when we're both on fresh tires.
After 8 hours of swapping the lead with the Amuse S2000 R1 in between pit stops, my car was beginning to fade down to 232 hp. I ended letting B-Spec Bob run out the last ten laps with a 1 minute lead or so and won by 35 seconds. Great race, close and interesting the whole way.
Here are the Numbers:
Total time: 8:01' 38.306
Total laps: 211, (50 by B-Spec Bob)
Total miles: 628.78
Fastest lap: Practice: 2'09.597
Fastest lap: Race: 2'10.667
Pit every: 10 laps, S3/S3 tires
Horse Power: 243, Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex (AE86) Shuichi Shigeno
