Round 2 of Circuit Excel S.A. was a tough one.

Starting off with my flights getting cancelled then delayed getting over to Adelaide we were off to a great start 😑

Only getting one real decent lap for qualifying (bad timing by a red flag after going into the pits for a setup change)
We started out of p12 for race one. Few good battles, got well into the top 10 then made a mistake, dropped back to p12.
Race 2, was having a great race, made a few spots, good few battles, then got absolutely punted at turn 3 causing a massive spin and putting us dead last. Pushed our way to 20th by end of the race with a wonky wheel alignment. 🤪
Race 3, started out of 18th after a few penalties were applied, after chief pit crew Aaron Ellings got her pointing straight it was the best the car had been all weekend and we made our way forward going from 18th to 8th! We were stoked with the race but then copped a 5 second penalty for just being out of our grit box. 🤏🏻 Dropping us back to 10th.

Now we’ve had our shocker of a weekend we can look forward to our next stop at Darwin in 2 weeks for the Circuit Excel NT - CENT circuit Excel X3 300 teaming up with Legana Tyres & More Motorsport for the enduro!!

Final day at Excel Nationals CERA AustraliaTufflift Hoists

What a ride!
Thankfully Sunday was better conditions at Shell V-Power Motorsport Park☀️
Final heat race starting out of p15 and coming home in p11 with some good battles and clear skys was thoroughly enjoyable!

For the final we started out of p23 out of 49 cars. With a job ahead of us and being mid pack we knew we were in for a hetic race!
Stayed out of trouble, drove consistently and zagged instead of zigging to avoid multiple incidents throughout the race we managed to come home in P14 out of 49!

Going into the weekend aiming for top 15 and being somewhat competitive against big budget team and coming home with a clean car we are absolutely stoked!

Can’t thank our supporters and sponsors enough!

Day one of CERA AustraliaTufflift Hoists Nationals was a tricky one.
The sky’s opened up and we were in for a day of rain at Shell V-Power Motorsport Park.
In extremely challenging conditions for qualifying we managed p31 with a fogged windshield 🤦🏼
Heat 1 we started out of p15. After a good start making up a few spots we were on track for top ten finish until a mistake putting us back to p14.
Heat 2 starting out of p15 again, another good start getting into the top ten before getting a massive shunt at turn 13 pushing us deep in the infield putting us deal last. 😞 thankfully the safety car came out and bunched us back together helping us on the restart getting our way back to p16 to finish.

Meant to be better condition today, ready to reset and go. 😎

Round 1 of Circuit Excel S.A. At Shell V-Power Motorsport Park

Kicked off Saturday morning with qualifying, after a red flag on the out lap and only a short session we got a one lap dash for qualifying, managed to snag P6 out of 22 car grid in trophy class.

Race 1, good clean race but with a mistake on the second last corner on the last lap dropped back to P8. 🤦🏼

Race 2, early start Sunday morning kicking off at 8.30am, without having time for a morning coffee we somehow came home in P8 after struggling all race.

Race 3, was our best of the weekend, new tyres on the car and driver filled with caffeine we had settled in and nearly a mistake free race we worked our way forward with some good clean racing to finish P6 🤙🏻

Finishing the round in P7 and super consistent lap times we’re super keen for the rest of the South Australia season!

Thanks to Circuit Excel SA for having us and all our amazing sponsors
