Queretaro

Day 3 featured a six kilometer race through the heart of Mexico City on a section of the main freeway downtown, closed just for us. It was quite a spectacle. The Carrera drivers raced after several lucky local Ferrari owners "tested" the course. We created a traffic jam, like we do in most places we race.

While transiting to the next race segment our rear lower shock absorber mount broke. Steve removed the shock completely and we continued on. It seemed to have little effect on handling so we finished the day's racing. Here's Steve repairing the mount in the parking garage of our hotel.

The repair was successful and we should be ready for another four days of racing.

The afternoon sessions included six laps of the Queretaro Raceway. That was fun. We then made our way to the Queretaro town square for the usual festival.

Ours was not the only car needing repair. Here's part of the scene in the parking lot where we stopped for lunch.
