For me - had a good start, knew the inside line would be a big benefit here anyway so took P2 into the first corner. From there, I was going to be willing to sit behind Senninha and see if he would make a mistake; luckily for me that came as early as Turn 3/4 - at which point I knew I had to push to try and build a gap to the rest of the GT300 cars. Sonic was having none of it though and kept with me, Masi was a close 3rd too. Sonic passed me twice down the outside of turn 1, but twice I regained the lead through turn 2. After having to take a couple of defensive lines in previous corners, he then managed to get a really sweet exit from the corner prior to the corkscrew and passed me under braking.
Immediately ducked inside at the next corner (banked left after the corkscrew), where I was definitely a lot quicker than most, car was balanced so well through there, but couldn't quite hold it. Had to sit tight behind Sonic for a couple of laps but eventually got a good run coming up the hill towards the corkscrew. Braked alongside sonic but he still had the corner for the second part of the corkscrew - no contact, but he got on the power a little early and the back of his car stepped out. That gave me no more than about a 3 second lead, but it was enough to break the tow and give me some breathing space.
From there, tried to push to build a gap towards the stops. After the pit stops, Masi had taken up 2nd in GT300, but I had about a 13 second lead, so I just took an easy pace and managed tyres, meaning I could still put out 1:28s even as late as lap 29. Also wanted to try and put in a quick lap; risky, but to be honest I was a little lonely on track, but managed the quickest time I'd done all day, even from pre-race testing. Stayed well out of the way of GT500s, bailed into the run off at Turn 1 to let Sigma and Sincx pass who I could see were definitely having a good scrap, and then just kept the car on the black stuff to bring it home - didn't run off circuit once and I think the consistency and decent pace definitely paid off. 👍
Edit: I will try doing that spreadsheet later on, got to head out now but can do it this evening
