Round 2 of NZ Superlap 2025, at Taupo International Motorsport Park, in Taupo, New Zealand.

Sunday — Session 2
This turned out to be the fastest session of the weekend. I clocked a 1:40.3 — so close to breaking into the 1:39s. The rising track temperature wasn’t doing me any favours, and missing the earlier session definitely cost me, but I still managed to finish first in class (Pro Open).

The car felt reasonably balanced, but still had its quirks. There was a bit of understeer on corner entry, which meant leaning on trail braking more than I’d like. That understeer would often flip to snap oversteer on exit, which kept me on my toes. On top of that, my own inputs were still a bit too sharp — more steering corrections than there should be. Just need more seat time to tighten that up.

Big thanks to Kerri and Kaz for the organisation of #nzsuperlap. Blair at Ladds Forestry and Barry at MRP LTD - 4age Specialists for their support, and for Jayne for attempting to keep me sane.
