Being the hunter is stressful too! There wasn't a huge discrepancy in speed so it was going to come down to race craft and a little bit of luck.
I was trying to find an opening and you were running strong! There were a couple places where I got close but the pass would have been too risky and I didn't want to ruin the run you were having. The pass into Lodge was intense! Unfortunately the next time around, my tires were cooked, I drove so hard to try and catch up after my pit stop, they were overheated and it just understeered going into Lodge that final time.
Kudos to you for the clean racing, battling like that is what makes this fun!
