I set the Auto Gearing back to 15 and qualified P1 with a 1'43.367, 4.068" quicker than P2.

After a horrible start, I fall back to P5 and gradually work my way into the lead. But coming out of Turn E, I go wide and bash into the wall at the worst possible point. I come to a dead stop, but as I eek my way back on track, the GT-R bashes me from behind and I manage to lead at T2 of Lap 3. It passes again as we head through the final turn, but I work my way back to P1 as we cross the line to begin the final lap.

The GT-R moves past me as we enter the first turn, but I retake the position shortly thereafter. While things are close, I manage to keep it behind me for the rest of the race, finishing with 6 bars of Nitrous.

I ended the practice session with 168 miles, and ended the race with 181 miles on the odometer.
