50.3 (R$ only) Tilt B


 * 6.1 - missed the detail - but spun out the first car, then made sure I crossed at only 186mph.

01:37.133 - my fastest in 00:48.509, the best bot in 00:50.146 - 7 bars used now.
 * 6.2 got up to 15 second of them drafting before I managed to pull away.


 * 6.3 Switched on brake assist to high at the start (probably an error), tipped out the guy in second then ran to catch up to first (this is why brake assists was an error) - after I caught up it was easy to stick on his tail and get the distance, once that was done, switched off the assist and went past for first.

First in 01:36.980, best lap 0:46.130; best bot lap 00:50.898 (on 2 lap races the bot lap is a bit misleading because it only has data for the 1st lap).

A bit over 4 more bars used.

win time 02:24.984; best lap 00:45.983; best bot 00:47.401
 * 6.4 - pretty straightforward for me

Still in green on the service.

6.5 First time round, didn't nail the start so dropped back a bit, then got caught in a crash, managed to catch up to the main pack (a group of about 20 cars) just before the end, but only got 7th, was probably 100yds from first (bots into the 46:xx range - my fastest 00:44:xx). So... reload.

Second time round - basically the same final time as the first - I just managed to control the race much better and broke up the drafting packs. I kept with the front runners through the first turn, then pitted the 4th or 5th car into the 5th or 4th car. This left 2 cars at the front racing together, with a 3rd just off. So spent the rest of the race catching up to them, ran in train with them for a bit then pitted both of them.

Winning time: 03:59.222 (I think 2 seconds slower than my 7th), my fastest lap 00:44.999, bot fastest lap 00:46.454 (but this wasn't the bot in 2nd or 3rd - they were about 00:46.7x).

Car trashed - so into service.

Now we just need the Aussies and Kiwis to stay up late finish stage 7 and let us know what we're in for. Even better if they also find out what the PR requirement is for the bonus series!
