Manufacturers - Gr.3 Monza NC
Once again, my inability to find a tow sent me to the back of the grid. I ended up completely bottling the start by understeering off Curva Grande under slipstream and cold tyres. Fortunately, I was able to keep the Viper pointed in the right direction on the gravel, while a Honda and Porsche spun out and allowed me to retain 18th.
I then proceed to completely butcher Roggia chicane with my dirty tyres, but I was able to catch up to the pack by Ascari and climb to 14th by my second run through Ascari thanks to mistakes and penalties from other drivers. One incident involved a NSX in default livery trying to divebomb a Peugeot into Roggia, only to brake too late, collide with the pink NSX and spin himself out.
Unfortunately, 13th was too far ahead to hitch a tow, leaving me to try working together with a Peugeot to try and catch up to the others by taking turns slipstreaming each other, which didn't work as we kept tripping over each other in the corners, especially at Roggia chicane.
On lap 7, the pink NSX I had raced in RBR Short cuts the Roggia chicane and runs wide at both Lesmos. This string of mistakes allowed the Peugeot and I to catch up and pass him, before resuming our comedy routine of slipstreaming and tripping over each other to the finish line, with me finishing 13th for 90 points.
I decided not to go again, not wanting to risk running into a pileup at Roggia chicane. One and done.

Strategy: No stop
After the abysmal Race 1 and getting DCed from Race 2, I went in to Race 3 aiming to beat my 97 points from the Yaris race. I ended up hitching a tow from JOJO55 and grabbing 2nd with a 1:28.994, with a Lancer taking pole 2 tenths ahead. However, the Lancer's poor start allowed me to take the lead, while the Lancer slipped to 4th by turn 3.
However, I would slip up on lap 5, running wide out of turn 1 and consequently going very wide through turn 2, allowing the Lancer to retake the lead.
I tried to keep pace with the Lancer, but constant attacks from the pack behind allowed the Lancer to run away while I defended my position.
There is 1 imposter among us.
I would ultimately convert 2nd on the grid to 2nd at the line, taking 161 points for my best point haul yet. While I am somewhat disappointed at losing the win to a single mistake, I was not expecting to get top 10 today, let alone a podium.
With 161 points in hand, I'm looking at a good chance to get S rank next season:
Only a momentary brain freeze so pick up quickly enough to go into turn 1 4th, get up to 3rd on the hairpin. we all hold sattion until I get a run on the Dane in second and get past on the last corner. The German gets past him as well and the three of us hold station, pulling away from the rest. for 9 laps the german driver is consistently .8 of a second behind, she (I assume its a she from the username) catches up slightly in the first half of the lap, I pull away a little through the second half. Slowly catching P1 then he goes wide at the big boy hairpin and has a little play in the sand. I get a great run on him and get the pass done at the first right hander at the top of the hill. He pits on lap 10 and we were so far ahead he comes out in third, and proceeds to reel the German in p3 and me in, getting the pass done on me into the first corner on lap 14. held it together to finish p2.
).
Came home with P2 in the end for 244 points, biggest haul in quite a while.
