1:59.5 🫡@sub2club

In retrospect, this was a rather sloppy lap, but I made it work somehow. Going to get a better plan together and try to get closer to a 58.9. Lord, do I miss the fixed back seat and harness setup in my Hakone 86; my neck is not happy with my life choices. I had a wonderful and challenging event this year at GTA and was able to bring home the P1 hardware. Time to take a break for a bit with the GR86.

Stay tuned for the GT86 Hakone Build :)
