Please refer to these track maps when looking up Turn numbers/names ** Special thanks to AMG @ GTPlanet.net for the hard work put in to generate them!!! **

I kept the Car in race trim for the practice session, and still managed to qualify P1 with a 1'46.336, 2.618" quicker than P2.

This was probably the easiest race of them all, despite not having the largest gap. I suppose the corners here allow for higher speeds through them as opposed to a course like Opera Paris.

In any case, the rolling start makes things much easier to deal with, and the opponents never really had a chance. It's quite a relief to finish with a race like this, especially knowing how much work I put in to beat the field at The Ring.

I ended the practice session with 88 miles, and ended the race with 93.7 miles on the odometer.
