Nicely done!

Due to the server issues, I'm still glad I skipped it. My 8 days would have ended at nearly the worst possible time.

It would have been disastrous for me had I known in advance that it would only take me one attempt to finish 8.6. I might have spent another half day trying to finish 8.5. I probably tried every 3 hours for about 12 hours. The last hours were doing more harm than good, due to lack of sleep. And if I didn't skip before I slept, then I probably would have slept poorly just thinking about it.

Felt like 12 hours of mostly nothing burger, of which only 30 minutes of it was actual racing and the rest was servicing.

It didn't help that I watched Real Racing Guru skip it. He's better than I am and his lines seemed pretty reasonable to me. Too slow though. That made me try to push even harder, which ended in a lot of off track failures without much to show for it.
