Akira Miura (JPN) #203 Toyota Hilux Overdrive, Ultimate group.
🎤I just finished the prologue stage and arrived here. My first race in the T1 category has started, and everything about the engine's feeling, the suspension's feeling, and the shifting's feeling is very new to me. Despite the stage being extremely short, it was very exciting. However, I need to learn more and more about the car and think about how to maximize the performance of this Hilux T1+. I want to value each and every corner and make sure not to waste a single second of this race as I continue to learn.
