It was a big weekend in a lot of ways at Global Time Attack Thunderhill.
Competing against the best in the West; (Marck) and (Johnny), we pushed each other and all ended up within 0.3 seconds 1st - 3rd. Big time credit to Marck for taking the top spot with his 1:54.87, crazy fast, and to for building the car to be such a weapon.
Also for Ramon Ortiz Del Valle having the top 2 Type Rs being tuned by him, the chassis records for both the FK8 and FL5!
For WOT Performance; the top 2 Type R's showed the track performance of the various cooling parts and how they were able to push in the hot track temps while running high boost.
It would be a complete lie if I didn't say I was disappointed to not be 1st, it was the clear goal in my mind going into the event, and to be fair we each wanted that. It will no doubt keep me hungry and be a motivating force to refine my approach and to go even faster. The goal will definitely be to reach into the mid to low 54's by the end of the year.
Lastly, for GTA, it was a massive success of an event, and I think I can speak for everyone in saying that we look forward to returning next year!
