RySpec Racing Radical Test Toronto Motorsports Park - Session 4 (NEW P.B) Ploder Motorsports 2023-11-10 | Unfortunately there is no footage of my third session, the first of two that I drove on an open track by myself.However, this fourth and final session was the one where I felt most comfortable, and set my fastest time of the day! Happy that I was able to come within a second of the times that the Radical-regulars ran earlier this year, despite my lack of experience!
RySpec Racing Radical Test Toronto Motorsports Park - Session 2 Ploder Motorsports 2023-11-10 | For our second session of the day, I again followed our lead-follow instructor around the track. Only this time, it was at a much higher pace so that I could somewhat feel the car at its limit before driving by myself for the final two sessions afterwards.
RySpec Racing Radical Test Toronto Motorsports Park - Session 1 Ploder Motorsports 2023-11-10 | My first session of the day was also my first time driving a Radical car, first time driving a race car of any kind, and first time driving the Toronto Motorsports Park circuit. So, I started off the day driving behind our lead-follow instructor to make sure I could learn the track and the car without wrecking anything!
MRFKC 2023 Race 8 Briggs Sr Final Ploder Motorsports 2023-09-18 | What a gutter!After winning the Pre Final with my two championship rivals towards the back, I had a great shot at *somehow* winning the title. But, a terrible rookie mistake on my part saw me get a three-second penalty, which sent me to a P10 starting spot for the Final.While I made it much tougher for myself than it needed to be, I got my head down and raced through the pack, eventually working my way into P3 and chased down the leading two. When the two of them collided in the final turn, my first win of the year, and my first regional championship was in my hands for a split second, before I was unfortunately half-spun from behind while trying to avoid. Just a product of hard racing!I ended the race in P4, and still scored enough points to leap into P2 in the championship.
MRFKC 2023 Race 7 Briggs Sr Final Ploder Motorsports 2023-09-18 | Started from pole position, and realized pretty quickly that I was both way too high on tire pressure, and over-gripped. Fell to P5 at the finish.
MRFKC 2023 Race 5 Briggs Sr Pre Final Ploder Motorsports 2023-07-27 | After a mechanical issue in Qualifying (along with a lack of practice on a brand new track), I qualified 16th for the Pre Final. With a few confusing race starts - or non starts - I only managed to make my way to 14th, but was harshly demoted to 23rd after a drop-down bumper penalty...
MRFKC 2023 Race 1 Briggs Sr Final Ploder Motorsports 2023-05-15 | Yes, the video is very shaky. That is because my front fering became extremely loose for whatever reason. Don't worry, it was fixed for Sunday!
MIKA 2023 Race 3 Briggs Sr Pre Final Ploder Motorsports 2023-05-08 | Debuting a new look...Forward AND backward-facing camera views! And yes, I know the main camera is very shaky…the mount we used is not the best.Unfortunately this Pre Final went very poorly right from the start, getting caught in a lap 1, turn 3 pile up that put me down in 36th. With only 6 laps, I couldn't make the time up.
TRAK 2022 Race 15 Briggs Sr Final Ploder Motorsports 2022-10-16 | Had a decent run, finishing 2nd in a fun race to end off the 2022 season.Unfortunately, I noticed pretty quickly on the formation lap that something, once again, was not right with my brakes. Last time, it was a system issue that just needed a bleed, but this time, we noticed after the race that there was a leak on the master cylinder. Not sure if I ruptured it when I beached myself on the curb in Heat 1, or if something else caused the fluid to come out, but that forced me to drive the whole race with brakes that would sometimes work fine, and other times, not work at all...sometimes having both in the same lap!Still managed to keep pace, but these issues caused me to have inconsistency across the race, and the leader was gone.
TRAK 2022 Race 15 Briggs Sr Heat 1 (24th to 6th) Ploder Motorsports 2022-10-16 | Definitely one of the most up-and-down races I’ve ever been part of!With the random starting order for Heat 1, I started 24th (fourth-last) in this very cold, and wet sprint. After racing my way into the top ten, I made a poor decision and spun myself around, which sent me way down the order again.By the end of the race, with some brilliant overtaking and some mishaps and spins from other competitors, I finished in 6th!
