Ive watched that video several times and have to say, Very Impressive driving.
I saw a lot of opportunities you had to tuck the leader a bit and take the line but you didnt.
Great driving!!

Thanks Sir! I was very conscious of the fact that 3rd was right behind us and if I spun out the first place then I'd be handing our positions to the yellow car lol. Trying to shake up the first place car to create an opening but he held his ground nicely

I got some of the gray belted tires and they’re not very stylish especially for a class where you want the car to look good. Anyone ever paint the rims? If so, what kind of paint did you use? Will Tamiya’s PS or TS spray paint work?

Hmm.. it's two door. It's modeled on a real vehicle. Is that in the spirit of USGT? *grins*
