I qualified P1 with a 1'39.034, 0.123" slower than P1, after upping the Nitrous to 40 and lowering the Ride Height to 45. I contemplated running another lap to gain pole, but I figured this was good enough. The SettingsHP dropped to 740 after this session.

Running on R2s allowed for much lower Ballast, and it helps me get off the line a bit easier. Regardless, I fall back to P6 after the launch, and I draft the Toyota 7 to get back to the lead pack. The GT-ONE seems to have the highest top speed of the bunch, and shortly after we begin the 2nd lap, the BMW and R390 drop off.

I push-draft the GT-ONE for the rest of the way, and I back off as we head through the final turn on the final lap. This gives me room to make my move, and I hit the juice and pass it along the right for a narrow victory.

I ended the practice session with 3911 miles, and ended the race with 3932 miles on the odometer. The MPZ finished with 740 SettingsHP.
