Race C is a gem for nostalgia purposes alone. The Mercedes and the McLaren are basically at parity and in my race proved to be fiercely competitive against each other. The Toyotas, on the other hand, all finished at the very bottom.
I have logged probably a thousand hours on Fuji Speedway and chose the F1 for this banger. Thanks to a rare healthy amount of time to practice I qualified Q3 with 1:35.4. After turn 1 bumping and grinding, I skirted past the onslaught to P2 which I maintained comfortably through Lap 5. P3 CLK was in beast mode, though, and eventually outdid me through the back esses causing me to cede position after the last turn. No shame, though, as he won in the end. Still, holding P3 in a DR B lobby is solid for me.
What I have not practiced enough is the pit entrance and straight up forgot the last second kink which gave me a 3 second pit lane penalty. I served this on lap 9 outlap which caused me to drop to P4 and very nearly P5. Another F1 gave me a very good run for the money, with a few passes on the straight and multiple rounds of going side by side through various turns.
Ultimately, I maintained composure and finished a healthy one second ahead of him in P4. Wish I could race this one for a year straight.
