- Lap 29- 2nd pits but 3rd (faster car then 2nd) stays out and gives that car some clean air, plus that car had already pitted![Grumpy :grumpy: :grumpy:](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/grumpy.svg?v=3)
- Lap 32- I pit. Come back out with a 9 second deficit.

- Lap 72- 2nd is mine but pitted straight away. Came out in 3rd because it was only a splash and dash. Next pit might be a bit hefty![LOL :lol: :lol:](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/lol.svg?v=3)

Bye bye lead.
- Ding Ding 3rd of the way through - Lap 177 - This has been a very challenging hour. I am currently in the lead. Hoozah!
Has not been much too write as this hour has been pure catching up. Lapped car after lapped car. Very intense racing though. I kind of hope mum comes in again so I can fall behind again just to catch up slowly.
This is my last stint of the night as i'm sick of tsukuba for the night. Poor evo is getting a battering tonight. Never used before! But it is doing very well. That s200 i at an uncomfortably nearish distance so I cannot lose concentration yet!
PB is the same still at 55.634
- Lap 190- Suspended race. That is all for today. 43 second lead. Whoop![Smile :) :)](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/smile.svg?v=3)

So by the time I found it I had been sat there for about 5 minuites ![LOL :lol: :lol:](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/lol.svg?v=3)

- Lap 222- In 2nd place now but 3 laps behind the leader. just came out of the pits so hopefully he cannot be too far off pitting![LOL :lol: :lol:](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/lol.svg?v=3)
4 hours- Lap 234- Still in second and two laps behind. not really much that is worth reporting this hour. I imagine pitting in 20 laps![Smile :) :)](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/smile.svg?v=3)

Thoughts after race
This race is challenging mentally
to say the least. The track is not big enough to work well enough. Nurburgring would be much better. But ah well. Plus may I add. 2 Races in the endurance section. and No weather change? Really PD? But anyway, the car. Brilliant. Absolute wonder to drive and had such a good time driving it. The race would have been much worse without this car and someother poxy motor. I would always recommend premium for these sorts of races.
