There are about 6.5 seconds on the clock when this Mission begins, and the leader is making it's approach into Turn 4 (just past T1).
L1 T1: + 0'19.806
I pass the FALKEN GT-R while coming out of the far-side hairpin (Turn 7a).
L1 T2: + 0'16.797
I come up behind the MOTUL PITWORK Z near Turn 10, and pass as I enter the final hairpin.
L1 F: + 0'13.999
I pass the M3 as I exit Turn 2.
L2 T1: + 0'11.441
I go off-track for a moment, just as I'm crossing T1. I'm still in the junk when I start braking and turning for the sharp right hander (Turn 4), and I have to slow to a near stop to make sure I don't go off again.
L2 T2: + 0'09.328
I'm side-by-side with the Panoz when entering Turn 9, and pass it midway through. I don't know why, but for some reason I have trouble keeping it on the track when I try to scoot to the left for a better entry into Turn 10. This completely unsettles the car, and I lose a lot of speed.
L2 F: + 0'07.635
L3 T1: + 0'05.160
I'm off again, just after crossing T1. I begin my turn-in and braking while in the grass, a great idea (sarcasm)!!! This sends my back end out, and I'm at 90 degrees for a good 50 m or so, but I just try to keep the wheels spinning. I kick it down to 2nd while I'm sliding, and eventually I pull out of it, heading in a good direction.
L3 T2: + 0'01.049
I'm into the Bentley's draft as I cross T2, and pass him while approaching Turn 10.
F: - 0'02.279
I cross the line at 4'05.224, going 162 mph in 5th gear.
While a winning run, the time was horrible. My best run is less than 4 minutes, meaning I really messed up by going off so much...
Here's a video of my run:
