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 qualified P1 with a 1'52.480, nearly 4.5 seconds quicker than P2, without using Nitrous.

After cutting through the grass for S and V Curves on Lap 1, there wasn't much to worry about. But I looped it after braking too late into 90 Degree on Lap 2, and I also hit the sandtrap at Victory. By the time I finish Lap 2, the NISMO is on my tail, and I'm in P1 by only 0.108".

It's not until Lap 4 when I finally manage to catch up to it, and I punt the NISMO into the sand at Turn 5. From there, I never looked back, finishing with 0 bars of Nitrous left.

I ended the practice session with 151 miles, and ended the race with 170 miles on the odometer.

Here's a video of my run:
