With a goal to set a 1:55 lap time in the Unlimited Class, he clocked 1:56.372 around the raceway before the catastrophe happened. Mike said he could’ve shaved off two more seconds if his shakedown session hadn’t ended early. In the future, the team aims to deliver high or mid 1:40s.
This isn’t the first mechanical failure that the build faced. The Honda-powered Ferrari toasted its sequential gearbox in its racing debut in Australia, costing Mike $11,000 for a replacement. With the K23 power plant giving up on him, it appears bills will continue to pile up to get the K24-swapped build back on the race track.
