Race report, by Yuya,
Our 966TE performed very well from day of free practice. We felt much advantage than other drivers. Even young Takumi's 966TE wasn't so bad though he didn't have enough exprience for 1/8 racing yet.
Day 1 qualifing,
I kept top time holder from 1st round to 5 round.
Tadahiko made 2nd time in the end, but his 966 came in to pit for refueling. So he was very fast!
Takumi had problem of fuel consumption, and couldn't manage it.
Day 2 final qualifing,
My 966 stopped due to less fuel, and couldn't improve. Tadahiko improved my time, and got TQ.
Takumi still had fuel...

The track itself stays together and really doesn’t break up all that much. It can get a bit dusty, but with the right moisture,...
