1st Outright at MSCT Motorkhana

Following the cancelation of the khanacross last weekend due to heavy rainfall I was really looking forward to this event.
The second round of the Motorkhana series held by MSCT was held at Symonds Plains. It wasn't located on the track but in the car-park area. This Motorkhana was a bitumen event, with some very tight tracks. The weather was hot all day but as always at Symonds very windy. The surface was slippery in the morning but after lunch the track was quite warm and grippy. Some very tough competition turned up, including Street's Nissan Skyline. The Excel ran well all day with only a small problem with the handbreak. Keeping my driving style clean and smooth gave me the trophy. Unfortunately my style of driving wasn't very spectacular and without having the hand break made it difficult to get through some 180 corners. I was experimenting with left foot breaking throughout the day and I found it very helpful.
Results: 1st by just under 4 seconds from Stefan and in 3rd was Jason Street.
