My race pretty much went like this:
I was better off the line than what I expected, (The way I had 2nd set up, I thought it would bog down more tha nit did) so I had another typical "Mulian" start. Was able to make it 3-wide with RT and Nastra, but before I could back off, we were already in the brake zone. I think Nasta went wide because of it, and I let RT go by. However Brandofo* slammed into me, which allowed him, BlackIce and bdub to all go by. I was able to get back by bdub in the next hairpin, and fight with brandofo and blackIce for a bit, before RT, who had fell off the track, caught up to me. He passed me, and after that, I started to suck for a bit, as I fell off a couple times, struggled to find my brake-points in the draft, and with worn tires, and fell to about 10th.
After my first stop, I was involved in a 5-way battle with Wardez, syjones, Marlboro, and Aliens. Sy and I were able to get by the other three, and while he pulled ahead, I was still under pressure from Wardez. We passed each other a few times, before i fell off yet again, and was stuck in 12th.
After stop #2, I was 12th, but had finally found my comfort zone, and was pulling off my fastest laps of the race. Passed Marlboro with little effort, and got by Jett while he was in the pits.
But then I ran into Blackce, who was in 2nd. I knew he was up there, but regardless, my mentality was "I'm faster than him, I need to get up to Wardez, I'm racing him like it was for position." So I did. However, Whether it was because he was holding me up or not, I don't know, but I just couldn't get by him, and when I had a chance to, it was because I bumped him, and thus slowed down a bit to give him his spot back (I'm too nice :/). Whenever I slowed up a bit, and he got ahead of me by a bit, I was able to get right back on his bumper.
Then bdub cought up to us, and I was able to hold him off for a bit, but then my tires died off, he got by, and
seemingly got by BlackIce with little effort, which is what made me think that he was holding me up (EDIT: okay, looks like bdub got pretty rough with him, but i still think Blackice should have still let the two faster cars go). I was still able to maintain the same distance between the two of us even with worn tires, as well. :/
Oh well. I choked again
* I've heard people complain about Brandofo, both today, and last week, about how he needs to race alot cleaner. So yeah, you should probably do that.
EDIT:
RT
(others take note, this is how you race)
I'll just say that if I had cruised, I would have finished even worse. I'm no where close to being good enough to make GT Acadamy yet if I was allowed in, so I have to push a bit to try to keep up.
Though I think I have improved somewhat since the start of the Lexus series, even if my finishes aren't saying that.

I really noticed that after you got by me on lap 15, at which point I wasn't entirely sure if I was going to run a 1 stop or 2 stop pit strategy. However after you got by you began to pull away, so I knew I was wearing out my tires too quickly and decided to pit on lap 16 and run a two stopper to help compensate.
