Interesting that the server had more grip, capable of 1:01s pretty easily.
We got lucky with a few server glitches early on that changed up the race lead a few times -- nobody materialized on top of anybody else.
Unfortunately for me I ran out of fuel with three laps to go as the server was set to dirt-track racing rules where yellow flag laps didn't count, and I didn't notice this until after we'd gone green for the third and final time. I needed another yellow to make it the extra 10 laps. I had tried to nurse it through most of the race, giving up the lead, then thought I might have enough and went for it again, but couldn't make the outside work on old tyres. Finally got a run on the inside but wouldn't have been able to make another lap, so had to pit immediately, with three laps to go. Ah well... Still ended up third. Had pole, fastest lap, led most laps I think. Managed not to spin out -- that itself is an accomplishment with these cars!
They're super fun to drive!

I shouldn't have captured the clips while Facebook was open. That may have been what caused the on-board sound to be so weird, like it's phasing itself out.
