I'm grateful for the first win, but I fully appreciate it was a case of being lucky rather than fast.

Qualifying. I did fine with traffic during qualifying but I completely messed up both my hot-lap, still it made me realize I needed a more conservative setup for race pace as the car transitioned from under to oversteer.

Race. I lost a position to Nabil early on, and we both navigated through smoke avoiding any incidents. He was setting a quick pace and I followed him for a lap or two before I was able to get by after he went wide in the back section. After that I just paced myself and tried to avoid any mistakes towards the end.

I think I must have left my anti-aliasing too high, because the mix of lights and dust/smoke was killing my FPS so I drove mostly in the dark. Testing during the week offline showed this wouldn't be a problem, but I'll need to retest under different conditions - maybe another exhibition race?

Finally, I really wish we could run a regular series at this time (in addition to the late race we currently have scheduled). The issue is still attendance and how that translates into donations. I'm still trying to re-coup my investment for the evening series. To Ken, Ari and other drivers who'd like to see this series at this hour, hang in there - I may still be able to do something it's just going to take some time.
