Qualifying:
Qualifying is very much a learning process for me. The biggest difference with the shock set-up is mainly on the steering. With my new setting, I was able to attack corners more aggressively up to a point that my line and braking point will be very different with my previous set up. After 3 timed qualifying rounds I was sitting in second place, with a 6 seconds gap towards the TQ position.
Final:
Getting use to the new set up, I was very confident on taking a win here but the start was not what I was hoping for. I was locked in a fight with the pole man which lasted a whole 40 minutes! At the same time, the 3rd and 4th qualifier was able to run a much cleaner run than us. After finally pulling from my fight, I was able to catch the top two quickly, within a few minutes, I was able to lead the pack and hold on to the first position to cross the line amd tale the hard-fought win.
Last words:
Although I have been running the DNX-408 ever since it was on the market, this race just proves how much I still have to learn. The car continue to improve and with more tuning and setting I was able to make the car fit my driving style perfectly – it just proves spending time with your car are so essential!
This will be the last race for me before the New Year, and I will like to take this chance to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a very Happy 2012! Thank you very much for the support TD, and I wish 2012 will be an even better year!
