Wow, that's a close battle - congrats Jake!


It looks like it was a quick course, geared well for your single turbo


On a similar note, I'm really looking forward to seeing more on the TT3 RX-7 - looks awesome

Cool to see three RX-7s and five Mazdas in the top ten.

that's awesome

Very cool, congratulations.

Congrats!
Jake's videos always look sped up in post-processing lol

Great job and nice to see the FD again on top :nod:

Big Congrats Jake :bubrub:

Homeboy can DRIVE, that's for sure :icon_tup:

and 22+ years on, the FD3s with 13B rotary is going STRONGGGGGGGGG :djcelebra

Congrats, Jake! It isn't just the driving, but also the dedication it takes to compete!

So true

If ever the saying "90% of success it is just showing up" proves true it's racing

congratulations

What kind of set up is he running.

Bravo! Well done. Always great to see the FD in her prime. :cool:

:beerchug: Awesome.

nicely done :icon_tup:
