1. Training run
I was not only surprised, i was just overwhelmed. The car pulled in all directions, the grip was enormous and I hardly knew how to steer and when to brake. The first half I survived with litte oversteer and a huge portion of luck.
after 35 seconds into my run, my luck ran out and i rammed two pylons. :d

you can hear the pylons at 0:55 in the onboard video. Time for this run 1min 00:?? This was faster than last years fastest run (1min 01:11) :eek:
2. Training run
After a brief look at the damage and a little tape repair i went back to the start.
The run was cleaner and easier, the rear axle was very nervous and unpredictable but i could handle it. Unfortunately i forgot to turn on the onboard camera, at least theres a spectator view video.

Time for this run 59:?? ...was was getting faster.
1. Timed run
Now it was getting serious, my goal was just to get my car unharmed to the finish.
i tried to drive full throttle as much as possible and my shiftlight let me know i had to change gear lol
just spectator view for this run too.

Time for this run 58:41 Seconds :cool:
2. Timed run
The grip can be deceiving, I slowly knew how to handle the vehicle and then came the point of overconfidence. In the second 180 ° turn I was too fast and had to fight with understeer, but this could be eliminated in the middle of the curve by pressing the gas pedal.
