I qualified P1 with a 1'59.921, 6.831" quicker than P1.

Another bad launch, and the Speed 6 and Esprit move past me within the first 5 seconds. The DB9 surprisingly edges it's way briefly into P3 as we enter Turn 2, but I move past it as we exit. I pass the Esprit as we're about to head into the tunnel, and finally take the lead at the top of the hill.

With a lead as big as it was, I decided to cross the finish line while pitting. This helps make sure that the opponents will have time to finish their race as the championship standings scroll across the screen.

I ended the practice session with 111 miles, and ended the race with 121 miles on the odometer.
