Turn 1

Jim M. mis-shifts off the starting grid with an 11 and so his start speed isn't quite as high as he was hoping.

Turn 2

Chris K's start speed gives him a little extra space from Fabio.

Turn 6

Tim K sits on the line while Chris L rolls chance into corner 3 and spins with an 11 (modified to 9). There were a lot of 11 rolled in this race, and they all went badly for the racer involved. With less wear than everyone else and now a turn behind, this was the end of Chris L's race right here.

Behind him Jim M. races to get to the line first and his late-brake roll busts his brakes. He'll be forced to race the remainder on 20 decel, which wound up being the end of his race as well. They'll both finish, but this turned proved deadly for two of our five racers.

Turn 7

Chris K spends through corner 4 to take the line in corner 5, while Fabio goes outside even with the line available. With Chris taking up the outside line, everyone is forced through the inside 40's.

Turn 9

Chris L winds up as the only racer this lap to go through corner 3 and 4 in the ideal manner, taking both for 1W total. This helps keep his hopes alive, foolish as they are.

Turn 10

Fabio spends hard to catch up to Chris K, having given him too much room back in corner 3. The chase pack all clear corner 6.

Turn 11

James decides to leverage some of his extra wear to gain position in the chase pack, while Chris L figures Fabio must know what he's doing, so just runs his line.

Turn 12

James chooses to go outside after corner 9, allowing Tim B to slip into position ahead of him for the extra wear. Jim and Chris both finish the corner as well to rejoin the chase pack.
