my special purpose?
I have just become aware of the amazing existence of B Spec hatchback racing. Mostly stock, sub-125hp econoboxes racing on real, honest-to-goodness professional racetracks. It’s like the early stages of Gran Turismo (in my opinion, the most entertaining stages) come to life. It may not have the speed of high-end racing, but these little guys take corners like you wouldn’t believe, and these limits result in some seriously close, skill-based racing. Also, they totally run my car in the series:
The oddball racing world is catching up to me…especially since Toyota is jumping back into the World Rally Championship with the Yaris for the 2017 series…I really don’t need this kind of inspiration, but it’s fun for escapist imaginings.
