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 1'06.017, 4.081" quicker than P2.

With a rolling start, I manage to hold the lead for the first lap... Almost...

While approaching the Start/Finish line, I turn in too late and go from wall to wall, starting from the right. I zig zag across the track, and as I'm headed for the right wall (the 2nd time), the R92 T-bones me into a spin.

I recover as the uphill section begins, and as I start to get my bearings back, the GT-ONE bashes into the back of me. This actually helps bring me back to speed, and I hit the bottle until I catch up with it after wallriding the hairpin.

I'm down 0.200" at the end of Lap 2, and heading into Turn 2, I bump into the back of the R92 and it goes into the grass. I retake the lead there, and for the rest of the race, things are relatively calm.

I ended the practice session with 3991 miles, and ended the race with 4008 miles on the odometer.

Here's a video of my run:
