I qualified P1 with a 1'42.330, 0.240" slower than P1.

The Speed 6 manages to start P1, but knowing how easy this race is when cutting the final chicane, I decided to continue anyway. However, the Esprit gets away with a great launch to move into P2, then the T350C passes to put me into P4. I punish the T350 for passing me, as I bash it into the junk at Turn 1.

I nudge the Esprit wide at Turn 5, and pass the Speed 6 while cutting through the chicane. From there, I cruise to an easy victory, even taking the remaining laps "normally"...

I ended the practice session with 97 miles, and ended the race with 105 miles on the odometer.
