Gold: Yokohama GTX

This Gladstone Trail Mixed-Surface Point-to-Point is worth 250 Points towards completing the Gold Wristband, and has a purse of $17K for the winner (not including bonuses).

Restrictions for this race are R3-Class cars or below, with AWD.

A nice mixed-surface run using the top-end car in the field, who can ask for a faster race?

The R3 Class races tend to be very fast but also very loose on mixed-surfaces, and this is no exception to that rule. There are a couple of points you can use strategically in this race.

First, you can make mistakes as long as you do it early in the race. Mistakes later in the race will cost you the win.

Second, you have raced this particular route before, and there is one last very nasty turn before you head to the finish line -- it looks like you will have to slow down a lot to make that turn, but in fact you can cut it on the inside because the fences there are wooden and breakable -- but there is a concrete barrier there too so avoid hitting that as you cut in.

Do that last turn right and there is no way you can be beaten on this one.
