It was a bad decision. I had re-cut slicks, and it wasn't the best choice for the current road conditions.

They are too far away now to give it a proper fight.

Not perfect, but not bad times. On the second and third stages, the engine was running very warm, so it dropped to three cylinders and cut off the anti-lag from time to time.
