🏁 Race Summary: Strength of Field (1935) made this Global Challenge split very competitive. I started from P5 in class (P15 overall) and managed to stay consistent throughout the 25-minute race at Laguna Seca. Despite pressure from behind and some traffic management with the Cadillac field, I held position and brought the Kia Optima home in P5 in class (P11 overall). A clean run with solid pace, collecting valuable mileage in a tough multiclass environment.
