Finally! Another 5 attempts and gold on the oval. It also unlocked the king of the ovals trophy after all that, "Drove 500 miles on ovals". The WRX definitely corners better, with that you can make up a little bit of time in the 3rd corner as well.
I tried pitting in lap 10 and lap 11 to have softs for the end without success. Starting on softs and pitting early in lap 9 to switch to mediums worked better, however the first time I ran out of fuel, got unlucky and passed the finish with another 4 seconds on the clock with the AI practically pushing me, so another lap and I only had fuel for 11 more laps.
Next attempt fuel to 12, didn't end up in first after the rest pitted, but managed to get into the slip stream behind 1 and 2 for a long time, then finally managed to pass nr 2, however he screwed me up a lap later allowing nr 1 to get away. Then he spun me out in the last lap for good measure...
Last attempt I pushed really hard in the beginning and with a bit of luck managed to get the lead in lap 9, dove into the pit, fueled for 12 more laps, got out in place 20 but close enough behind the last one to get a bit of boost from drafting. That gave me a 4 sec lead after the leaders went in. I nailed every corner from there on out, the AI managed to slowly close the gap anyway, but fell just short. I made sure to keep him out of my slipstream in the final lap.
Best GT ever :)
I'm going to regret this tomorrow, 3:34 am now, played way to much today. My drive time jumped up to 17 hours from 12...
