way to slide under huge pressure.

That’s tough to lose it at the drag… Great drift to make up for it though.

It wasn’t the approach that did it… He wasn’t nearly as close to the wall as jr and he also lost drift in the ‘S’ slightly, where jr held the drift the whole way through.

Not knocking Santos’ run one bit, he is an amazing driver and performed probably better than most there, Gittin just beat him with a solid 95+ point run.
