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 qualified P1 with a 1'27.914, 3.937" quicker than P2. With the power down to 704 SettingsHP, I'm able to tick up the Downforce to 49/69.

I put on another wallriding clinic, but I'm still never able to extend the lead much past 4 seconds to the Toyota 7. In fact, on Lap 8, I spin at the hairpin, and the AMG moves ahead into P1. I manage to retake the lead at Turn 4, and I don't get a comfortable lead until 2 laps later. The AMG pits at the end of that lap, and from there things are much easier.

I ended the practice session with just under 3603 miles, and ended the race with just under 3643 miles on the odometer. The MPZ finished with 702 SettingsHP.

Here's a video of my run:
