That was some great racing. It was very interesting to see the different lines used, especially in the last few corners before the straight. Cool.
Those of us who live in the area are so lucky cause Tamiya makes the track available to us almost every Saturday. The esses is where the "fast" guys become the "fast" guys. Brandon and a handful of other racers get that right almost every time. The rest of us, not so often. That Mickey Mouse chicane on the straight usually isn't there. It was terrible cause you could not see it from driving positions 6 thru 10.

For you Canadian fans, the other car in the video was Mike Z from Canada. Great driver and a good guy. Mike got to make the trip to Japan cause Brandon was not able to make the trip. The other videos are worth watching, especially the GT3 ones and an even better drive from Brandon in the second Mini main.
