Saturday was good. We changed the brakes on the car (above) and changed all the oils (gearbox, engine etc..) Helped out (well, drank a lot of tea and coffee!) at the enjoy granp prix in Suzuka too. Morning after went to Mihama for my first ever car race and picked up class win, and overall fastest lap (thanks to Wakida-san!!) Awesome weather and awesome day - what more can I say - thanks to the team for some quality driving - see you all for Spa Nishiura on the 4th April! Better yet, someone has posted up a video of the last 10 mins or so of the race, and you can see the number 72 screaming on through!
I tested this at the Minami (south) circuit of Suzuka 2 weekends ago.
(Yes, that is snow in the background!)
It is..... an automatic, but races in a class for automatics so it's not so bad. Only a 1.3 too, but managed a very respectable 1min 6.6 . Best part is, thanks to K&G i'll be racing it this Sunday with the rest of the team. Currently in a Hotel in Suzuka waiting till tomorrow. First we'll be stripping down and rebuilding the front hub as it doesn't look like it'll last the 4 hour race. Then staying in Suzuka and racing at Mihama circuit it Aichi on Sunday. 5 drivers over 4 hours, should be really good fun!
