Took the FRS back out to Raceway Park of the Midlands for a Fast Friday. My intentions were to just have a bit of fun with it while we were testing out our Lemons car, but I ended up setting a new PB!

Man if that place was any bumpier, you'd need rally suspension! Great work on the PB, that was a very clean looking lap.

It's certainly seen better days! Thanks! We've still got a long ways to go!

Sent it a little bit too hard this time around and ended up off track.

Mid Ohio did some damage, but we managed to set a new PB at least!

Nice work, dude! Bummer about the off, but at least you picked a relatively harmless place to do it. I've got a lot of (two-wheel) laps at that place, and T1 can be tricky as heck.

bronze with the black and red looking nice

Finally adding some aero to the car!

Definitely could have been a lot worse. I can't wait to go back!

The wing looks great! Good job!

Looks good.

Curious why you decided to add aero?

Doing what I can to increase cornering speeds. The time attack class I'll be running in next year allows for some minor aero modifications like a wing and front splitter so I'm installing all of that now so I can get comfortable with how the car feels.

Even at a very low AOA I could definitely feel the difference taking the car out to Gingerman Raceway. Even with a front splitter I was experiencing a bit of understeer so I still need to make some tweeks.

Your class allow endplates?

No splitter endplates, unfortunately. I can run canards and fender vents.
