I will give it another go again tonight, and I should have some time tomorrow to see if I can knock off one or both.<\/p>\n<p>I had a blast getting the Gold Trophy in C-8 (Honda Integra Mission) at Daytona.  It was not until I switched to manual, and picked up the draft from almost every car I passed, that I actually found my way across the finish line first.  I never considered that manual transmission at a super speedway would be important, but it made a difference.  Catching the draft was incredible exciting.  Enough so that I am seriously consider picking up NASCAR 09.  Daytona Gran Turismo style, getting ready to watch the Coke Zero 400, some beer, and of course Tori will also do the trick.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent a goodly amount of time with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue today.
