This race could've been won with a larger margin, but I had to deal with opponents who gave me a dose of my own medicine...

There's a great crash-turn at the hairpin, and after using it on the first lap, I manage to move into P4. I pass the GT while braking for Turn 3, but it scrubs by me to retake P4. I manage to pass it at Turn 6, after sending it into the outside wall, and find myself in P3, down nearly 4 seconds after Lap 1.

I edge past the VW after crash-turning on Lap 2, and I'm into the S7's draft as we come out of the hairpin on Lap 3. I brake too much as we head into Turn 3, and it sends me WAY wide and into the outside wall as we exit Turn 4.

I'm still down more than 2 seconds as we begin Lap 4, and I only have 3 bars of Nitrous left. I manage to take the lead heading into Turn 3, and the S7 dives on the inside to pull the same stunt, in the same spot! I finally take the lead for good after crash-turning the hairpin on Lap 5, trying to conserve my remaining 2 bars of Nitrous for when I get jammed again.

Just before starting the Final Lap, I bang into the outside wall after exiting Turn 7. The S7 takes 2 seconds from the gap, but I manage to recover well enough to keep it at bay, finishing the race with 2 bars of Nitrous.

I ended the race with 29.9 miles on the odometer.
