Full 1-hour with Data Overlay
Got a decent launch off the light but then mis - shifted 2nd and got regulated back to 4th. Managed to squeeze back into 2nd and take 1st place into T4. There was an early safety car due to an incident exiting T6 , and then we got back to racing after 1 lap behind the SC as they clear the car. Project DC2R was fast and consistent, lapping 2-3 seconds faster than its competitor every lap. Benny managed the pace , and navigating through traffic and ticking off the minutes.
By lap 18, the steering death wobble occurred after T1 , and that feeling has been felt before. Benny radioed in straight away to get tyres ready and complete the 3 mins CPS. Lost all the advantage to the rest of the field (approx 30 sec ) as we limped the car back into pitlane to change tyres
Pit crew did a great job changing both front tyres within the 3 minutes , and we ticked off the CPS and got some fresh tyres to finish off the race. Took it easy within the first 2 laps to bed in the new slicks since we had the pace on our side.
The last part of the race got interesting with a loose rear end, heat exhaustion, and race shoes falling apart. Tough last 10 minutes in the race , but Benny managed to take home the win by over 34 seconds !
It was great to show the level of performance from our Honda FWD package , and to do it in the hot weather conditions illustrates how well - proven these car packages have been developed over the years.
