Audi RS5 V8 Pukekohe Driver's Eye 👀. We've had

Audi RS5 V8 Pukekohe Driver's Eye 👀. We've had to withdraw the Audi from today's NIERDC opener after a driveshaft failure in the final practice yesterday 😩

With the power and rear grip the car is now producing this was a risk we anticipated. In fact, we've got (stronger) steel driveshafts being made which were supposed to be ready for the weekend but missed the 🛥 by only a couple of days. Always the way, right! 😅

A silver lining for us is that for this year's Endurance championships allows teams to drop their worst points scoring round, so essentially we get a mulligan ⛳ and can rock up to Hampton Downs in 3 weeks for a fresh start...with some trick new aero to boot 😉

You won't see us on the track today but as a small consolation, here's a lap from free practice with my new 4K Cambox V4 Pro.

What do you think of the Driver's Eye view? 🤔 I've been chatting with @camboxmecaaustralia about distributing these awesome cameras here in New Zealand, so I'm keen to gauge potential interest first! Drop me a message or leave a comment if you'd be keen on getting your hands on one 😎

We're goin' yellow for the endurance series 🐝

A reflection of my exciting new alignment with @aa_new_zealand, partnering with them for 2021 and beyond 😁🙌

I'm so pumped with this news and the relationship carries a special significance with our family link to the NZAA dating back over 30 years.

The car has been fast around Pukekohe today and we've made some real breakthroughs with tyre management and overall balance compared with last season, which should bode well over the 3 hour race distance.

Motorsport is a cruel mistress though, and the crew are burning the midnight oil over a couple of uncertainties as we speak. I'll check in with an update in the morning 🤞

Driving fast and having fun 🥳. Yeah, that's me in a nutshell 😁

Checked a few boxes at the T42 this weekend 🏔️:
✅ First marathon 🏃
✅ First off-road marathon ⛰️
✅ Top 🔟 finish in 3h 46m
✅ Powered by 🌱⚡
✅ The best 'runner's high' to date ✨

It's probably not okay for me to say this but crossing the @totalsportnz T42 finish line yesterday was in many ways a more gratifying feeling than taking the 🏁 in racing.

Let me explain why ➡️ What I love about running is it's purity and simplicity. It's you vs. you. No excuses. No bullshit. No ego stroking. No BoP. No punctures, pit stop dramas or mechanical failures. No factors outside your control. Not to mention some of the world's best scenery in our 🥝 backyard 🙏

It's just you. And your feet. And the ground beneath you. The community is genuinely supportive of one another (there's literally hundreds of hype men in your corner from start to finish).

Don't get me wrong - - I ♥ racing (and when it all comes together on the day 🏆 there's nothing else quite like it) but now I've discovered another passion requiring an entirely different toolkit.

Yesterday's grunt was some excellent prep for my first ultra in July, the 65km WUU2K down in Wellington 🔜 and I'm excited to lean on - and learn off - the weapon @reado1979 to up my training mileage and knowledge ahead of ultra distance events.

Feeling fit, ready and motivated for my other kind of racing next week with the NIERDC opener in our awesome Audi 🥳
