Dropped my Race C QT down to a 1:22.999 with the NSX Gr.3 and hopped into some races. My strategy was to start on RH tires, pit whenever, and finish on RMs.
Race 1: Started P5. Couldn't avoid an accident exiting Turn 3 on Lap 1, and found myself in the dirt and in last place. Did well to make up places until a solo off at Turn 9 on Lap 4. Pit at the end of Lap 7. Made up places and had a Top 10 finish in sight, but got bonked at the Corkscrew on the final lap. Finished P13.
Race 2: Started P11. Got bonked a few times under braking by a couple different people. Annoying. Pit at the end of Lap 7 again. Finished P9.
Race 3: Started P10. Got frustrated with traffic and myself, so on Lap 2, I slowed up after the Corkscrew and let a handful of cars pass. Pit at the end of Lap 6. Finished P12.
Race 4: Started P9. Misjudged my braking into Turn 2 on Lap 2, and tagged a 911, collecting a 2.0 second penalty. Kind of blanked out for a bit after that, and let everyone go past me while ghosted in 1st gear. Pit at the end of Lap 7. Finished P9
Race 5: Started P16. Bonked a 911 braking into the Corkscrew on Lap 2. Drove in a daze after that, until my pit at the end of Lap 6. Finished P12.
Embarrassing day. Finishing 60% of my races outside the Top 10 is no bueno. I don't understand what happened. I know the track, and I know the car, but my pace was woeful (rarely in the 1:23s, often in the high 1:25s). I drove around like I didn't have a brain in my head. Kept missing my braking markers. Took too many turns with other drivers playing pinball in heavy braking zones. If it wasn't for people underestimating the BRZ and/or bouncing off more sausages than Riley Reid, I'm sure I would've finished every race in last place. Shocked my DR/SR is still B/S.
