Drift Oulaws 2.0 was a success!!!! Well kinda….. Was my First Pro Competition and was the first time since iv built the new car that iv actually got some seat time in it……. Only Had 4 laps of practice and straight into the comp😳…. To say i was nervous would be an understatement!!😂😂😂..
Was chip draw style comp instead of qualifying and i knew with my luck i was going to draw one of the Og good drivers….. And what do u know……. first battle i draw Kyle Stephen in his s14 from BYJ Drifts(a very good driver)..I was leading first and made a silly mistake on my initiation which put me off the mark(clipping point) by about 500mm and put me off line for the first corner… i knew as soon as i initiated i stuffed it😂 (nerves got me and i over thank it🤦🏻♂️)….. I held it together for the rest of the lead but it just wasn’t enough……
Now was my turn to chase and i thought for sure new car no seat time he was gonna walk me but i was there and put in a solid chase….Final verdict was we drew on chase runs but he had the lead run in the bag which ment i was knocked out early…… To be honest i wasn’t upset at all cause i knew i stuffed it… If anything i was actually stoked… The way i looked at it was i haven’t driven really in 2 years and if im keeping up with him in a car i dont know and have never really driven once i get to know it its gonna be competitive as!!!
So i was was out of the comp but that didnt mean no more driving as i went back out in the expression session and had a ball…..
Final Vedrict, Car drove on and off the trailer with all its panels and no dents or broken things lol 😂 and is driving absolutely amazing! FINALLY🙌🏻!! So winning… Its honestly an animal i love it!! Bit more seat time to get to know the length and grip levels of the car a bit better and we be good..!!! Bring on Drift Outlaws 3.0!!! I have a good feeling the next year is gonna be a lot of fun😉!!
