When racing with slower cars like the Mazda MX-5, Skippy, and Formula V, downshifting becomes a critical factor. Engine braking during downshifts can easily cause the car to lose control. Therefore, mastering downshifting was a crucial skill to navigate these slower vehicles effectively.

Despite facing various challenges, including a tough corner and intense competition, we found ourselves in a position to fight for a podium finish. With several minutes remaining, we had the opportunity to Apply pressure and potentially secure a top-three position.

A War of Attrition

Just as my brother once Mentioned, the longer the race progresses, the fewer cars remain on the track. It's a war of attrition where consistency and staying out of trouble can lead to significant advancements in position. We experienced this firsthand as the race unfolded.

A Thrilling Spin and Recovery

In an exhilarating moment, a car spun out in front of us, causing chaos on the track. By skillfully maneuvering through the wreckage, we managed to come out ahead, overtaking two cars that were previously in front of us. This unexpected turn of events elevated our position and increased the chances of a better finish.

Final Lap Drama

Achieving a Podium Finish

Crossing the finish line, we celebrated a well-deserved podium finish. It was a thrilling experience, especially considering that it was our first time racing these cars. The relentless practice and dedication paid off, leaving us eager to explore new racing opportunities in the future.
