for the TIMIN track, and not competing on the V03 track. Yaburu was far and
away the fastest driver on the TIMIN track, and won every race on
that track. Of course he got no points for the races on V03.
speed, passing skill, and reliability to pick up good points in every
race. His total led him to 1st place overall in the novice class,
and then third in expert.
outstanding as usual. He was clearly the fastest on V03, and second
only to Yaburu on TIMIN. This gave him a 1st place overall in
expert.
