After switching to R3 Tires and upping the Nitrous to 70, I qualified with a 0'30.139, 2.056" quicker than P2.
I switched the tires back to R1s, took off the ASM, and set the Nitrous to 30. It took about 20 attempts to get this race right, as the Toyota 7 would often manage to get by for the lead and stay there. It's the toughest one to beat here, as it doesn't pit at all during its run.
Fortunately, on Lap 4 I manage to help it into the wall, and it slows down from the 190s to 27, burning its wheels out in 5th. As it recovers, the Vertigo comes from behind it and smacks it into the wall again. It gets spun, and as it rights itself, the Camaro comes up and bashes it into the inside wall, pointing it in the wrong direction again. From that point on, it doesn't have a chance, although it slowly makes its way back to the lead lap.
After sending the Toyota 7 into the wall, I'm in P1. But after crossing the line to start Lap 5, the R390 comes up from behind and tries a pass. I block it, for a moment, and I end up going into the inside wall. The R390 and AMG make it past me, and I slowly start to lose ground to both of them.
As I'm about to begin my 9th lap, the Toyota 7 gets caught along the wall on the exit of the short corner, and I pass it up again. As I begin Lap 11, the AMG gets caught along the wall of the long corner, and I pass it to move into P2. At the start of Lap 12, I'm down just under 10 seconds to the R390, but the AMG retakes P2 as I crash-turn the long corner.
The Toyota 7 comes up from behind just before the start of Lap 15, and as we come through the long corner the AMG moves into the pits. I'm down almost 15 seconds to the R390 at that point, but at the end of its 19th lap, it pits and I move past it to take the lead. From there, it's more crash-turning, and I wiggle my way to a comfortable, albeit shaky victory... This chassis defenitely needs a refresh when this event is over.
I ended the practice session with just under 3427 miles, and ended the race with just under 3461 miles on the odometer.
