Day 178 (26 SEP, YEAR 1): European Events / Pan Euro Championship / Race 1

Now for the Pan Euro Championship... This event doesn't allow for Racing Tires, so I switched to S2/S2. I loaded up the 9th lineup for this race, which allowed for 200 point hauls without having to change any of my settings (other than the Nitrous level). Using the Clio Phase 2, this lineup will allow up to 395hp without affecting the A-spec point offering (actually a little below that, as 395 hp needs 8kg ballast).

Participated in Pan Euro Championship Battle 1 (Opera Paris). Champion.
Time: 1'31.099

I qualified P1 with a 1'35.101, up more than 2 seconds to the Lotus, with no spray. They take such bad lines through Place Vendome and Place de Opera that I never used the bottle for this race. There's never much of a threat during this run, as I gradually build a lead of around 5 seconds. I nudge a wall here and there, but nothing significant...

I ended the practice session with 152 miles, and ended the race with 163 miles on the odometer.

Here's a video of my run:
