    When I first ran Batangas Racing Circuit in 2010, my car Aibo and I were running a 2:20.8 lap.

    On my last visit in June 2013 I got that down to 2:17.6 by downgrading a wheel size and getting better rubber.

    Now I've finally perfected my heel-and-toe and divebombed the corners I was previously conservative in. Some off-track moments later, the result is a consistent 2:16 lap time - still with a stock GD1 Honda Jazz 1.3. The only upgrade I did in the interim was stainless steel brake lines.

    By the final run, I was just about to nudge the 2:15 range.

    Personally I think this might be Aibo's current limit, and that shaving off more time would require finally adding power and/or upgrading the suspension. My old instructor still says otherwise, though.

    For comparison this is the footage from my June 2013 run.

    A surprise awaits at 6:50 of the video.
