    Yup! Fun little kart track. Very short straights so it's all about cornering. Lots of late apexes too.

    Still... an EJ20 Legacy? Should never be faster than a Civic RS. Not unless he's packing some heat under the hood.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Yeah very cool that we had the same time to the last hundreths of a second. We also have the same background of winding roads as our daily route. 😊

    Coilovers too. suspension settings matter more in a small track like this. Given the Mazda 3 already has superb handling, fine-tuning the suspension to minimize understeer is a big help to maintain cornering speeds. ProjectMu pads also dissipate heat better than OEM pads, which helps in terms of longevity after consecutive rounds. Ultimately though, it boils down to the driver and the organizers took notice how much Jeff improved from the last leg of Touge Battle, also in Tarlac. 👍

    All factory stock settings. I'm on stock suspension so there's really nothing to fiddle with.

    The most impressive bit for me is the 1.5 LXi with a PH15 (non-VTEC) engine qualifying at 1:24, faster than almost everyone except the Mustang V8s and STis.



    Btw the battle rounds layout is different from the quali layout (full track), since they shortened the track by removing the first corner because of puddles brought about by the heavy rain in the middle of the day. Different heats also faced different weather conditions which was why the organizers used qualifying times as the basis for the day's fastest lap since the weather was more consistent in the morning.
