Continuing from our last coverage, Part IV, I headed out to the pit section to check out the cars participating in the Gymkhana. This EVO on Volk TE37SL's was being worked on after its practice rounds. Noel from Canibeat (at the left) was taking a look at what was going on.

Layout of the track was in the center of the car. Might seem like an easy run to us, but for the drivers, it's different.

2011 tC by Descendant. This car is starting to grow on me. I was definitely amazed with Descendant making the turbo kit so fast for this years tC, but also the front 6-piston Brembo BBK peaking through the HRE wheels.
