Aaron Borg -“The competitiveness reminds me of the 86 series”.

Logitech G Pro Invitational Series qualifying driver Aaron Borg had a roller coaster experience at Phillip island for the opening round of the season.

Being part of the opening qualifying group Aaron would manage only 39th on the grid. Although a poor qualifying from the #4 TTR driver, Racing proved to be his strong suit, The foresight to read the strategies along with the ability to preserve tyres across a long run enabling Aaron to progress up the field gaining 15 positions finishing a comfortable 24th.

An accomplished driver outside of the simulator, The Toyota 86 & duel SuperUte series champion has drawn comparisons to his time in the Toyota 86 Racing Series championship, Claiming the Logitech G Pro Invitational Qualifying Series has shown similarities to the competitiveness and technique’s seen in the championship.

“ There’s definitely some similarities in driving techniques but also a lot of differences. Biggest thing is the amount of time everyone spends doing laps, Which is limited in real racing. The competitiveness reminds me of the 86 series though, It doesn’t take much to be up the front or down the back “. -Aaron Borg.

Also speaking post race in regards to his round one performance as a whole at Phillip Island, It’s clear Borg may feel he under performed. But with the help of his Trans Tasman Racing teammates & defending Supercars E Series champion Madison Down we may definitely see this National level racing talent translate his skills into the simulator also.

“I didn’t have the best of first rounds, messed up qualifying and then was up and down in the race. To be honest I’m just doing it for some fun and if I qualify that’s a bonus. I don’t get to do as many laps as many others do on the sim so anytime I can get on with the guys is good fun.

It’s great being part of TTR, they’re a great bunch of guys which makes getting on the sim even more enjoyable. I’ve done a bit with Mads, particularly in the eseries last year which was good fun. He helps me a lot with understanding how to drive on the sim quick so I’m slowly getting there”. Aaron Borg.
