We are in Southern California for another round of Honda Challenge.  This time we’re at Willow Springs.  This is a really fast track  where some people describe it as what separates the Men from the Boys.  Not very technical, but requires a lot of confidence and bravery.

This weekend, Andrie Hartanto has the full driving duty.  The first practice is used by Andrie to get familiar with the track.  The last time Andrie drove this track was in 2003. This is definitely one of the tracks that Andrie drives at the least (2011 being the 3rd time ever).

The 2011 race season kicked off with our first event at Thunderhill Raceway. For this year, we decided to mix it up a bit and utilize two cars with alternating drivers. In addition to the Acura TSX, we will also campaign a Spec Miata this season. For this event, Telly will pilot the Acura TSX and Andrie will run in the highly competitive Spec Miata race.

Nationals.  Four days of racing.  Four days of early mornings and late nights.  This year, the NASA National Championship race was held at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah, and what a crazy week it was.

The week started off on Wednesday for testing.  Qualifying races were on Thursday and Friday, and the big race on Saturday.  Your grid position for the Championship race was determined by your results from the qualifying races on Thursday and Friday.

The weekend started just like any other weekend.   Saturday morning became a rush to get the new front splitter installed and getting the car ready.   Nothing really heavy, just the typical small stuff to put on after transport, and small setup stuff to ensure the car is ok and ready.   Saturday was pretty relax with lack of competitors.  We used the day to get Hartanto re-acquainted with the car, the track, and to find a good setup for the car.    The day progressed well with Hartanto finding good setup and improving his lap time every time he goes out.  The new engine sounded healthy and seemed to perform well and provide ample of power.  Read the rest of this entry »

I’d like to apologize for my tardiness. We’ve been late with our updates and articles from the last few races. Rather than have multiple updates, I decided to write a longer blog to capture a few of the updates together.

Round 3 and 4 of Honda Challenge was held at Infineon Raceway. I must say it was one of those “weekend to forget” for Prima Racing, especially for Telly. On Friday practice, first, Telly managed to find the outside wall on turn 11. Luckily, the damaged to the car mostly cosmetics. We did a quick fix in the paddock, pulling the fenders out, realigning the bumpers and panels, as well making some emergency bracketry so the car is functional as well as aesthetically acceptable.
