Please keep in mind that these are not necessarily my best times (CLICK HERE for my best times/replays). 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 haven't driven this car enough to be able to determine how necessary a shift into 5th gear is. The car slows considerably in 5th without a draft, and it seems best to be in 4th gear if the car is going slower than 135 mph.

S: + ???
There are just over 6 seconds on the clock when this Mission begins, and the leader is between the 500 and 600 m markers.
T1: + 0'12.106
T2: + 0'11.025
I take 5th about 1/3 through the first turn, and take 4th just before the track straightens out.
T3: + 0'05.198
I pass the 3rd place car along the back straight, about midway through.
T4: + 0'02.196
I'm into the 2nd place car's draft as we enter the final turn, and I pass it shortly thereafter. I take the lead just as the final turn is ending, and head for the line from there.
F: - 0'01.100

I cross the line at 3'09.306, going 130 mph in 4th gear.

Here's a video of my run:
