After upticking the Auto Gearing to 18, I qualified P1 with a 3'23.577, 7.222" quicker than P2.

I manage to block the R92 as we head for Dunlop, and after dune-buggying through, I'm up 3.093". Using 5 bars of Nitrous, I keep the gap around there, but I get sloppy while coming out of Arnage. The R92 catches up before we hit Porsche, and I manage to block it and hold the lead.

I cut through the Start/Finish chicanes, and I'm up 5.843" at the end of the first lap. I drive comfortably from there, despite the fact that the R92 makes up more than 5 seconds between T1 and T6. It's actually in my rear-view mirror as we approach Ford, but another dune-buggy session, and I take care of it handily.

I ended the practice session with 4024 miles, and ended the race with 4043 miles on the odometer.

Here's a video of my run:
