Was going to wait until I hit the 9:30s before posting, but I've started The 500 which is time intensive and I may now move on from Suzuka. 145.2, no assists, sensitivity 2. I have been cutting the second Degnar curve on lap 1 to help clear the field, and occasionally clip over an apex in Casio Triangle.

9:37 was the ideal target, based on 1:20.0 opener and 1:11.0 laps after that. I didn't catch the opener time on this run but based on when I passed the leader it was a 1:20.x. I ran 1:10.x after that with a couple of small mistakes for two 1:11.x mixed in. Closing lap was 1:13.x due to passing 3 lapped cars - that's not disappointing because that last lap is usually worse!

I have tried to manage the bots to the sweet spot where you can pass the field on lap one but minimize lapped traffic at the end. I do 1:09s in practice but that courts disaster so I dial it back a touch to set my best full race times.
