Lap 2 (first racing lap)

Cobani tries unsuccessfully to go around the outside of pole sitter Jonny into T2. Johans NSX manages to get past Tonys Beemer for 6th.
Lap 4

Gadget drafts past the Vette for 2nd place.

Tony does the same to Johans NSX, but outbrakes himself and ends up in the kitty litter and also back into 7th.
Lap 5

Cobani gets the draft this time, re passing the RX7 into T2.

.but Gadget gets a better run through Turns 4 and 5 and take the place back at the T6 hairpin.

Leaderboard end of Lap 5
Lap 6

The Scooby drafts past Neil for 4th, but the Vette gets out of shape under braking and nurfs the rear right of the Scooby sending it into the gravel. Neil slows to let Burre regain the position. Both are now running with light damage but carry on.
Lap 9

The battle for 2nd has been raging for 9 laps now. Accelerating out of T6 Cobani puts 2 outside wheels in the gravel and its enough to turn him around, allowing the TMB TX7 back into 2nd

Neil gets a draft down the straight to reclaim 4th, but the GHH NSX is closing in as these two battle.

Leaderboard end of Lap 11
Lap 12
The Scooby stop for tyres and to repair the light damage. This drops the TOR car to the back of the field.
Lap 13
Gadget pits for a routine stop and re-joins the race in 7th
Lap 14
Now Cobani stops for tyres ..

But Gadget achieves the undercut and passes Cobani in the pits. The RX7 is now closing in rapidly on Tonys 4th place BMW.

With a better run through T5, the BMW on its older tyres is easy meat into the T6 hairpin.
Lap 15

Johans tyres are beginning to fall off the cliff, and as he gets crossed up accelerating out of T15, Gadget gets a run on him to move into 3rd. Johan pits on what appears to be a 3 stop strategy
Lap 16

Jonny motors serenely on in the lead, still on the original tyres and still lapping faster than any other cars on the track.
Neil pits for tyres and to repair that light damage. Tony also pits the BMW.
Lap 20
Finally the Lotus pits for tyres and a thimble full of fuel.

Leaderboard end of Lap 23
Lap 24

Tony has closed right up on Johans NSX, and would draft past him for 5th on the main straight
Lap 26
Gadget pits which drops him to 3rd.
Lap 29

Burre lining up the NSX up out of T17 for a draft pass on the main straight
Lap 30
Cobani pits for tyres. Looks like Cobani is 3 stoppings and Gadget is 4 stopping. Although these two havent been close on track since lap 12, they are very much fighting each other for that 2nd place, and their pace is very similar.

Leaderboard end of Lap 30
Lap 34

A solo spin into the Armco for Tony at T6. Lots of damage, and a crawl back to the pits will be required.
Lap 51

Whats this? No, its not a track limit infringement, its Jonny running wide and hitting the wall on the exit of T2. Hell be carrying light front left damage for the last 10 laps after that

Leaderboard end of Lap 51
Everyone should now be fueled to the finish. Jonny is long gone in the lead and lapped everyone up to 4th place Neil. Cobani in 2nd has a 22 second lead over Gadget, but the RX7 is charging now on new rubber. There is also a good fight between the TOR and GHH teams in 5th and 6th.

Leaderboard end of Lap 60
Gadget has reduced the 22 second gap to 12 seconds, but it doesn't look like itll be enough to steal second place with 1 lap to go ..
Lap 61 (final lap)
But whats this we are hearing from the pit lane. The Team 2.6K are crowding around the telemetry screens in disbelief. Cobani has run out of fuel approaching the first tunnel just half a lap from the chequered flag

..and there is the TMB Mazda powering past with a little toot toot of the horn as they go over the bridge. Oh what cruel luck, but Im sure Gadget wont be complaining

But the comfortable winner is Jonny again for CCR. Apart from the brush with the wall 10 laps from home he drove a faultless race for another 10 points in the Championship.

Final Results after 62 Laps
