Because the course of Tsukuba Circuit is small, I am feeling that there are many difficult points in the course, such as choosing a line or finding a chance to overtake others in battles.
"In such a course, all I have to do is to do my best with recalling what I have practiced! Then, I will win the race!!" Believing so, I dedicated all my strength to the race.
As the result, I could finish the second.
My lap time has been gradually improving and I have been able to keep the pace, so I myself am satisfied with the result.
Yet, there are still a lot of challenges. I should move on to the next.
I will do my very best toward the next race!
I hope for your continued support!

My result of this race was the 3rd.
I am not satisfied with the result.
I especially regret that I could not set up the suspensions to the full extent.
Resolving this point will lead a better result, I believe.
I will do my best in the next race, too! I hope your continued support!!
