I kept the N3 tires and Ballast @ 98, but shortened the gearing to Auto 11 for the practice session. I ran 2 hot laps, finishing with a bottle-assisted 1'53.183, 3.400" quicker than P2.

I reset the gearing to Auto 12, keeping everything else the same, and began the race.

With this narrow street course, the opponents have a hard time passing. Other than an initial bump from the G4, they never get close enough to threaten the lead. This and the final race are the easiest ones of the series, and starting P1 has a lot to do with that. Other than staying out of the Armco, there's nothing special in terms of winning tactics, and I finished with 5 bars of Nitrous.

I ended the practice sessions with 68 miles, and ended the race with 72 miles on the odometer.
