Round 1 of the GridLife 2024 Track Battle Season began at Carolina Motorsports Park (CMP) in Kershaw, SC. This is my first full year competing in the StreetGT championship. The competition is stout including Corvettes, Supras, and other BMWs.
I had never been to CMP before, so there was a steep learning curve to get up to pace as quickly as possible. My goal for the weekend was to lay down a 1:42 or 1:41, and then see where I ended up in the standings. I hit my goal, but I was still a little ways off the drivers at the front. Still plenty left to learn and improve upon.
