20130615: Return to Batangas Racing Circuit

The first time I went to Batangas Racing Circuit (BRC) I had set a personal best lap time of 2:20.8. I thought I couldn't improve on it.

Three years later...






I just smashed it by three seconds with a 2:17.65.

Engine and suspension are still stock. All I changed since the last outing were lighter wheels and grippier Michelin Pilot Sport 3 rubber. For a 1.3L-engined car that makes just 82 HP off its crankshaft, three seconds is a huge gain.

This was how I did it...while overtaking a few Evos and STis in the process. Enjoy

Nice, next time try and get some more consistent times. That one picture in front of the Yokohama Tire banner the Fit looks like a Weeble Wooble.

Good stuff T100.
