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 2'05.315, 9.502" quicker than P2.

I wanted to lap the Fiat by the time I finished the race, so on the last lap I did a bit of wallriding and crash-turning, and tried to use the bottle where I could. Unfortunately, my front left tire was a little beyond orange, and I couldn't catch up with it in time. I also made things worse by trying to wallride Turn F, which nearly spun me out, and I hit the "invisible" wall out of Turn L and ended up in the sand as I approached the final turn. Other than that, this race was handled without problem.

I ended the practice session with 187 miles, and ended the race with 206 miles on the odometer.
