What a great day, held onto 3rd place in FWD open class, was 1st place for much of the day. Finally getting used to not driving this like a momentum car now that I have all the power from the supercharger and the EBC yellows bite fantastic I've got amazing braking power now too, so I can brake way later and feather back on the gas immediately. All the experimentation and work Ive put into the suspension is delivering, and the changes to the exhaust may have helped a little too.
(Note: the song that starts playing after the POV racing footage, during the drone footage, is the same song I was listening to when running that lap)
Big thanks to co-driving with my son last event, all the discussion about driving style and pushing higher speeds into corners, relying on what the brakes can do now, and smoothly getting back on the gas sooner...
Honestly, this car feels like it defies physics, so much grip, and when I'm driving it feels like a much smaller car than it is, so nimble.
Special thanks to the best Skyactiv engine tuner Justin Freeman of MazdaSauceTuning@gmail.com, he is the best tuner for any kind of gas Skyactiv (I'm bugging him to get a website setup still LoL).
Also, I managed 3rd place even though I'm only on RT615s (outdated tire design), once I upgrade to top tier 200tdw tires (RT660s, RE-71s, or A052s) that'll put me in the running to get 1st possibly, but that'll have to wait until next season...
In awe of the level this car has gotten to, so grateful!
