Not sure how this happened, but ended up getting a W on the first GT2 event. It was a pretty decent lobby, qualified P3 after a meh lap one and a trafficy lap two.
P1 & P2 were fighting for a little which helped. I ended up in P2 and P1 had a pen so I took P1. After a couple of laps P2 messed up at the final chicane so I found myself ahead of the new P2 by ~2.0 seconds +/-.250" for the next handful of laps and was able to bring it home without spinning off or even collecting a single pen. No one more surprised than me!
I had to consciously tell myself to drive this car slower than I thought it should be able to be driven, especially though T3 and T5. Despite feeling much slower and off pace, it wasn't. Once that clicked, it was much smoother sailing... and as they say, smooth is fast.
One and done, good riddance, bring on the next set of Manus!
Going into the last chicane on lap one (I am the #7 car)... guess this is happening!
Everyone behaved! I left room for the gray car and then parked it on the apex on the right. From there it was just not messing up.
...aaaaaaaaaaaand glad it's done.
