Before the practice session, I upped the Auto Gearing to 19. After exiting the pits, I lined myself up into the path of the SpecII, which was important to make sure I could slow it down. I would push-draft it the whole way around, and eventually the other Ford came around.

Towards the end of the hot lap, I backed off before the end of the final turn and hit the juice to pass it on the exit. This would be the same strategy I'd employ for the race.

I qualified P1 with a 1'21.081, 2.351" quicker than P2.

I upped the Nitrous to 50 to make sure I could get the extra oomph to pass out of the last turn. I kept all other settings the same, and won the race in similar fashion to how I ran the practice.

I ended the practice session with 99 miles, and ended the race with 113 miles on the odometer.
