Day 341 (8 MAR, YEAR 2): Beginner Events / Sports Truck Race / Fuji Speedway 90's

As if using the RAM weren't bad enough, I head over to the Tune Shop for a "Cheater Bottle". Most of these events can be won without any mods, but I look at the $5000 spent as "insurance". ...

Please refer to these track maps when looking up Turn numbers/names ** Special thanks to AMG @ GTPlanet.net for the hard work put in to generate them!!! **

I move into P1 coming out of the first corner, and start to pull away. However, coming through Turn 4, I go too wide and the Tacoma and SST catch up. I block well enough to hold the lead for the next few checkpoints, but the SST still catches up along the front straight.

I block it again, and before we head into the first corner, it backs off. I maintain a 1-2 second gap for the next few checkpoints, and the SST catches up again as we head down the front straight. It makes its move on my left, and while I miss the block, I manage to push it into the grass and scrub it into the wall.

I ended the race with 5.7 miles on the odometer.

Here's a video of my run:
