Day 374 (10 APR, YEAR 2): Extreme Events / Polyphony Digital Cup / Race 1

I'm not particularly proud of using the RAM, but it's still a 200 point candidate for the Polyphony Digital Cup, even after loading it up with power. I went to the Tune Shop and bought S1 Tires and a Supercharger, which turned out to be more than enough to beat out the Z.

One problem with this event, mostly with the first lineup, is that the competition is really uneven. The Fiat and Peugeot are bigtime laggards, and the Z breaks away significantly. I confess to being impatient in trying to find a more evenly matched lineup, which might've allowed me to run with closer-to-stock HP, but I gave up and just went with what I had.

I qualified P1 with a 2'16.132, 5.949" quicker than P2.

I'm up by more than 4 seconds after the first lap, without using any grass cuts. Towards the end, I wanted to make sure I could lap the Fiat, so I cut through Victory at the end of Lap 5. It turns out that I didn't need to, but whatever. This race was won easily, and I finished with a sizeable gap to the Z.

I ended the practice session with 21 miles, and ended the race with 40 miles on the odometer.
