Took the 2017 VUHL 05RR for a spin on the technical Chihuahua Circuit. Fast, raw, and formula-like, the car pushed me hard. A few rewinds, some messed-up drifts, and one near-miss after another led to a second-place finish. Switched to a Porsche for another shot, and this time, I nailed first place with no rewinds.

Today, it's about the 2017 VUHL 05RR.

The 2017 VUHL 05RR is a stripped-down, track-focused car that I bought especially for this race. Its low-slung body and aggressive aerodynamics give it a raw, race-ready look.

This car has a striking, low-slung profile that immediately grabs attention. It's front looks razor-sharp, while the rear keeps things raw. My custom license plate sits boldly beneath the wing, adding a personal touch to its aggressive look.

This compact circuit packs a serious punch. Tucked away on the elevated plateau behind Hotel Mirador Balderrama, it's a tight and technical course that demands focus from start to finish.

But between runs, it's hard not to pause and take in the incredible panoramic views stretching out in every direction, a sweeping glimpse of the countryside that's as impressive as the racing itself.

I was looking for something like a formula car for this track, but I didn't find one in the market, so I bought this one that looked Formula enough to me, and it looks cool.

When I started driving it, I understood how fast it was, and there I bumped into the car unwillingly, after bumping on a rack railing.

I was going fine without drifts, but I wished to see how it drifts, so I tried one when the car was at top speed, and I messed it up, as you can see.

After messing up at the turn, I backed up fast, which blocked some of the racers from going ahead of me. But I couldn't hold them off, so I tried the rewing feature.

Rewinding didn't help much for some more tries, and this was the third rewind attempt where I messed up with a railing.

I was in fifth position when a black car was trying to pass me, but I didn't let her, and I finished the first lap in fifth,.And I kept moving ahead.

I finished the second lap in fourth, and I was trying to lose the third racer right after the second lap, where I tried a drift, and I totally messed it up.

Yeah, I did rewin, and then I was driving third, but that ancient car was fast enough to catch me, but I didn't let her, and I held the second place, though I had to rewind.

A white car went ahead of me at the last moment, so I did rewind, and I didn't let it happen again till I finished the race second, trying hard to be the first.

I was not satisfied with finishing second, and the event was also not done. And I decided to try another car for a second try, so I tried this Porsche, which I didn't know was this powerful.

I didn't even have to try the rewind feature once, and I still finished all the laps in first place. I finished the final lap in 02:59.
