Video Description from YouTube:

Welcome to an intense Round 3 at Queensland Raceway where we hit the halfway point of the season! This weekend threw everything at us, starting with some of the most challenging wet weather conditions I have ever driven in. From aquaplaning down the straights at 200km/h to navigating a flooded track, it was a true test of nerves and car control.

In this video, I take you through our practice sessions where we experimented with ABS and driver assist settings to find the limit in the rain. You will see the chaos of qualifying and how we managed to secure the top spot in our class despite being held up on track. I also share the highs and lows of our races, including a heart-pounding moment where I narrowly avoided a massive crash and a slightly embarrassing spin under the safety car.

We wrap up the weekend with a dry Sunday race where our strategic setup changes really paid off. By anticipating the track grip and handling our succession penalties, we managed to finish a lap and a half ahead of the competition. It was a massive result for the team and a great way to build momentum heading into the next round at Sandown.
