I qualified P1 with a 1'43.163, 1.692" quicker than P2.

With a couple of wall nudges, I finish the first lap ahead just over a half a second. As I brake into the first corner of Lap 2, the MSE bashes into my rear bumper, but I manage to hold the lead after hitting the right side wall. I wallride Turn C, and manage to stretch the gap beyond a second, but the MSE manages to close the gap after I bump a wall here and there.

It's directly on my bumper as we head through the tunnel, but with 2 bars of Nitrous left, I juice it to the line and cross ahead by 0.444" for the win.

I ended the practice session with 693 miles, and ended the race with 698 miles on the odometer.

Here's a video of my run:
