Weekend of Learning at Hampton Downs
My first race of the 2026 CTFROT was one of intense learning. It was my first time in the new car, on the new tire, and on a new track. After struggling in qualifying, contact in Race 1 forced me to the rear of the field, before a crash resulted in a DNF. Races 2 and 3 were signs of improvement, finishing in a P8 and P15 respectively, culminating in a solid jump of pace in Race 4, where I secured P12. While we did not get the results we desired, I was able to learn a lot in the new environment, and I hope to bring stronger results in Taupo.
