Hot take; VGT and other Concept cars should not be allowed in Prototype racing events; they should have their own. Here’s hoping that the upcoming Spec III Update (December 2025) addresses their classification system.

Our first stint sees us on a Medium compound. However, it was short-lived as the rain quickly approached. We box for Inters at end of lap 3 along with the rest of the field. We also use this pit stop to top off fuel (will see us to end of race).

Gradually, we get to the mid-field and box for Softs at the end of lap 7. The track remains treacherous, so we’ve to rein it in a bit.
We leapfrogged a bunch of cars, and eventually catch up to the car in 4th place. It was then that the 2nd place car had an off around Spoon Curve and re-joined the track; just as we were making an overtake, and we made contact. Unbeknown to us, there was a yellow flag due to the off; so we incurred a penalty which was (unfortunately) to be served during the final lap.

We lost a position right before 130R , and were unable to regain it prior to crossing the finish line. P3 in the end.
