Round #11 and one of my final events for the year. Its been a long journey but thanks to all the people and shops that helped me get to and stay on track this year, yall are the real MVP's.
This was my first time hitting CVR with aero, and also my first time using Nexen NFera Sport R tires (thanks @TPMparts for getting me a set). As always my goal is improvement and learning something new. Was gifted some great wisdom about my driving style and the main goal for the event became just becoming a better , smoother driver. Even though this was a PB for me, there is still much to clean up in this setup and myself.
Video was recorded using an Insta360 Go 3 and @BossBossRacing Boss Vision camera mounting system.
Looking forward to 2024, maybe I will have a GR86 by then ;)
