I qualified P1 with a 1'54.302, about 2.7 seconds faster than P2, without using Nitrous.

The Mini goes from 2nd to 3rd before the race starts. It, and the S800, hold back the GTA for the first 10 laps, but I'm already about 15 seconds ahead at that point. The BLRA (with this setup) can run in the low 1'50s, which means it can gain time on the GTA on each lap. The GTA pits on lap 48, I go in on lap 49, and still come out with a 25 second lead. I drive quite sloppily from there, but end up winning by around 40 seconds.

I ended the practice session with 351 miles, and finished the race with 519 miles on the odometer.

Here's a video of my run:
