Finished 10th at watkins Glen! Ran a 75 minute race that started at 22:00, pitted at Lap 30 to replace the splitter and top off the tank (tire wear at 30%), then ran to the 20 minute remaining mark and came in for a 4 tires only stop (Tire wear at 42%). Came out after the second stop in 10th place, and made it all the way up to 5th place before terminally wrecking with 4 laps left. So I got credited with 10th place out of 24, 4 laps down. I Qualified 5th. Had aggression on real and abilities set to 97%. Spun out 3 times before the first pit stop, forwent tire change for aero repairs, then came back in for a tire only around same time as AI. I threw the first pit stop away right off the bat, overshot my pit, then forgot to shut the engine off so the car could be fueled. It was a 38 second stop that should have been closer to 32. I seriously thought about not making the second stop, but i wasnt sure what the tire drop off was or how much more rubber i'd burned off. I coulda made it on the one set for the whole race, but there wouldn't had been much for car control with 30 or 40% of the tread left at the end of the race (had i not stopped). My average lap pick-up was about .8 seconds or so per lap...mostly made up in the braking zones and looking more like robby gordon, flying through the inner loop. Qualifying time was a 1:09.2 and best race lap was a 1:10 something. AI's laps were in the 1:07's.
I won a 20 minute race the other night by a wide margin, but had AI abilities down low so i turned them up and made pit stops be a factor. and I ran a 6 hour race on the daytona RC but i don't remember where i finished, that was several months ago.
