TAKASHI OKURA (USA)|
| | Nomination |
After many years of
supporting the TP52
Super Series and
steadily improving
each year, something wild happened
just before Takashi Okura’s TP52
team arrived in Sardinia for the last
round of 2019. Sled opened with a
win and then three more good races.
And then... and then they opened
the taps and reeled off five wins in a
row – never seen before in this fleet
