Finally here to race Harris Hill for the first time. It's been about 5 years since I drove this track in my E46 M3 with a 2-month Group-on. Let's see how competitive the car is with the 1.8L VVT!

Event Background & Overview
In 2021, we tried to race Harris Hill in Mr. Love's Turbo Miata, but ran into some silly issues related to Tech and a locking steering wheel. First H2R race. Jacob was driving for the other team!
Race 1 (3rd Overall)
Really fast NC from Rally Cross Racing. We did a good job but were quite off the pace from 1st. 2nd might have been possible but we were already managing a few errors, including a Black Flag from me, if I remember correctly.
1.3 sec off the Fast Lap from Nick
0.5 sec off the Average Lap from Nick
Efficiency represents the number of valid laps below the threshold times.
In this case, the data might show that Nick was extremely good in traffic and had more consistent raw pace.
Race 2 (DNF)
T4 front right steering knuckle thing failed and I slid down into the infield.
1.8 sec off the Fast Lap from Nick
1.0 sec off the Average Lap from Nick
Efficiency represents the number of valid laps below the threshold times.
In this case, the data might say that I am a little better in traffic, but lack in raw pace, significantly.
