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!!! **

After 3 laps, I qualified P1 with a 1'35.665, 2.674" quicker than P2.

On the launch, I lose out to the R390 and AMG, and I don't move into P1 until we exit Turn 6. I make plenty of introductions with the walls (especially on Lap 2), but nothing that I use to my advantage. I hold off from using the bottle until Lap 8, but even without that, this race was won quite easily.

I ended the practice session with 3564 miles, and ended the race with 3597 miles on the odometer. The MPZ finished with 704 SettingsHP.
