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!!! **

Staying in front for Turns 1 and 2 are key, but from there the AI opponents take bad lines (rather, use the brake too much), and they're easily overtaken from Turn 2 to T1. On the first lap, I'm too hot coming into the first of the S Turns (the left hander), and I go into the grass to the right. I lose a good chunk of the lead, but manage to stay in front for the rest of the race.

I ended the practice session with 65 miles, and ended the race with 74 miles on the odometer.
