Qualifying
This got a little complicated as we had so many MR2's some had to qualify in the Nippon Challenge and we had 3 races separated in 3 groups of the fastest 12, middle 12 and slowest rest of field. I managed an overall 15th which I was happy with as it meant I would start 3rd in one of the races. Chris did really well seeing as it was his first time at the circuit and managed 6th.
Race 1
Chris was the first out on circuit with the fastest 12 and slowest where he lost a couple of places to finish 8th.
I had an awful first race as I was made to make a modification to my exhaust because it was apparently too loud (previous and subsequent noise tests showed it was fine). I finished 12th and it was really frustrating not being able to be able to do anything about the other drivers getting past me due to my lack of power. I was a little angry to say the least!
The final race of the day Chris and I would be in together, with Chris starting 6th and me starting in 15th. I wasn't particularly focused after the first race result and having removed the make shift silenced I lost one place to finish 16th. Chris didn't particularly enjoy this circuit earlier with a 12th place finish.
I for one certainly won't be making the 6 hour journey to race here again!
