I've been in a permenent state of grumpiness since I got DC'd... The mustang felt amazing over the mountain and was pretty decent on the straights too.

Had a great qualifying by my standards for Bathurst. Got eventually down to a 2:19.0, although I don't know, if that last lap counted (would have been 19.2 otherwise). How @Yeratel84 did an 18.6 is a slight mystery to me, but it looked like most he gained on me was in the last sector.
Got away nicely at the line, went side by side with Yera through T1, but got a better exit and could out-accelerate him up the hill. I knew though that especially the others would be dangerous on the uphill straight so I covered the inside line, so @raceorama123432 couldn't get through, but it was @Roflwaffle who suddenly overtook me on the outside, but braked too late for T2 and I was able to hold on to the lead through the subsequent turns ... until I misjudged one of the left turns on top of the hill in the dark and smashed into the wall for damage #1. Sorry to O'rama for creating an obstacle you couldn't avoid.
After rejoining in last after repairs, I took it steady and gradually got faster driving in the dark (although I was still about 2 seconds off my speed in daylight). After a while I tried to get out of Joe's way to let him through on top of the hill, which was a stupid decision, because there's really only one line up there. Crashed a second time there. Second time my own fault.
Once that was done, I wasn't driving so bad anymore, but then Niko passed me, spun, which sent up a lot of smoke, and made it impossible to avoid his car parked across the road. Damage #3.
To finish it all off, when concentration was already a bit harder to keep up, I ran into Siggers at T3 (the left-kink before the hairpin). He was sort of stationary there (almost like parked) and I saw him too late and rammed him. Took serious damage, and was therefore not able to clear the road fast enough so Joe ran into me as well. Afterwards my car was only going up the hill at 20km/h anymore and about 60/70km/h downhill, with the steering wheel pointing 90° to the right. I lost more than a lap with that one.
The rest was just about finishing the race in case I might need the points for the championship. Seriously hope this will be a drop for me.

This was one of my interesting/exciting race of this series - thanks to @Phouchg and @Furinkazen (again).
Especially last few laps - Niko was chasing me and I was chasing Furi (I noticed that when Niko went last pitstop and Furi pass him).
Last lap and last two corners were exciting. I almost catched Furi but I went too early on gas and lost rear of my car - almost spin and Furi get away to S/F line.
Same time Niko got me and passed me before last corner but as he said he went little off the track and I got better last corner. Just epic end to 2hrs race - all three of us few seconds part each other on S/F line
I did have two incidents with GT-O's. I'm sorry @Yeratel84 and @MatheusBond for my contact - both were my mistakes.

I did OK considering that was my first race with manual gears, thought I got a good grasp of when I should shift during the race, but a few times I did mess up either shifting up too late or forgetting to shift down going around a corner such as the cutting

If only I hadn't messed up so much in the beginning of the last lap we would have been three wide down the straight.This was one of my interesting/exciting race of this series - thanks to @Phouchg and @Furinkazen (again).

Don't know if you heard but that last pit stop of mine was due to a crash. Was planning on running to the end otherwise. But then we would have the same situation but with me in front and furi catching me and you catching furi.

What does "GTP #1 Enduros" mean in the title? Does it imply that this series consists of the best drivers who specialize in endurance racing on Gran Turismo Planet? That's a very strong statement to say that this group of drivers is the best at what they do when compared to others on this website. Do you have any proof of numbers to back-up your claim as being the "#1 Enduros"? If so, please send it to me in a convenient .zip file.
