: T1: Doug mis-shifts on the start push.

: T2: Chris clears the first big sweeper (Double-Droite de Villeroy). Doug's dice go from bad to worse as he damages the engine.

: T3: Wow... Doug's engine fails and he is out of the race. The odds of this are astronomically low.

: T16: Tim over-brakes and occupies the exit row in Villeroy. The chain reaction brings on brake lights from Russ and Scott. Brent was driving responsibly.

: T19: I'm thinking that skill on Tim's chart is a late brake to stopper Bretelle.

: T20: Chris maintains his one turn lead as he clears the Parabolique. Russ takes a strange route through Bretelle.

: T21: Tim spends two and has position on Will. Mike challenges Brent.

: T25: Tim takes damage on a late brake. I don't recall why he was braking but the blue dice tell the tale.

: T26: Will pushes to 200 and gives chase to Chris. Mike pushes to 180 for the ideal trip around the fast sweeper.

: T27: The cars are spread out as we enter the final lap.

Wear count at start of Lap 3

Will 3
Chris 5
Tim 6
Russ 2
Scott 5
Mike 10
Brent 6

: T28: Will catches Chris' wing. Mike damages his engine. Russ drops a 220 again!

: T29: Will challenges Chris. Scott leads Tim into Villeroy. Brent gets the double bonus from Russ and sets him up to return the favor.

: T30: Will has the lead! A plot of 100 from Russ requires quite a bit of an over-brake.

: T31: Will still has the lead but no wear to defend it.

: T32: Chris takes back the lead in Bretelle.

Looks like the turn marker is off by one.

: T34: Stacked and packed in front of Parabolique.

: T35: Mike has to late brake from 120. [Editorial from Mike: Boy, did I play that wrong.]

: T36: Chris spends his last wear. This looks to be his race.

: T37: Tim and Scott vie for a podium spot.

: T38: Brent makes a chance roll!

: T39: Mike tests his compromised engine then rounds the fast sweeper with a chance roll. Scott passes his chance roll on the inside but can't get past a blocking Tim. Tim takes damage but with no wear, spins. Scott has no wear for braking and also spins.

: T40: The race to the finish line is anti-climactic after last turn's excitement. Mike has to nudge the engine one more time to hold off Brent.

: T41: Chris almost runs wire-to-wire. Will takes 2nd. I guess I didn't take a picture of T42? Anyway, Mike is third, Brent fourth, Tim, with the bigger engine, takes fifth over Scott who comes in sixth. Russ brings up the rear in seventh.

Order of Finish

1. Chris
2. Will
3. Mike
4. Brent
5. Tim
6. Scott
7. Russ
DNF Doug
