Welcome to the team, APS.

Plenty of positives from a mixed day at One Raceway.

The day started really well, putting the #17 BMW P10 outright and P4 in class in qualifying with a 1:09.818. I’ve traditionally found qualifying challenging, so putting the car inside the top ten first time out was something I was pretty happy with, especially as the rear of the car was proving difficult to lean on.

Race 1 started with a great launch and I made up several positions early. As the race went on, though, the loose rear started costing me confidence, particularly through Turn 6. I focused on bringing it home and finished P11 outright and P4 in class, with a best lap of 1:09.284.

Before Race 2 we lowered the tyre pressures and made the rear Bilstein dampers firmer. The difference was immediate. The car felt much more settled and I could finally lean on it properly. Unfortunately, while working through traffic late in the race, I was hit at the Fish Hook, shattering the front-left wheel and causing an instant puncture. That meant a DNF just as the car was starting to feel really good.

After replacing the wheel, Race 3 became all about recovery. Starting P24, I worked my way through to P15, gaining nine places while trying to stay out of trouble and be selective about where I made passes.

The biggest milestone from the day was earning my third Motorsport Australia licence signature, which means I’m now eligible to apply for my full National Circuit licence.

That licence is important because it opens the door to events like the Bathurst 6 Hour. Racing at Bathurst remains a major goal of mine, and being in a position to pursue an opportunity there in 2027 would be pretty special.

A huge thank you to my amazing wife Shirley Rummler, who crewed for me all day. Keeping me fed and hydrated, helping on the radio, getting me organised for the grid and even reminding me to calm down after Race 2. I couldn’t do this without her.

Not the perfect weekend, but top-ten qualifying pace, a much better setup direction, nine places gained in the final race and the licence requirement completed gives me plenty to take away from it.

Onwards.

Thanks CC Tyres for helping strip the race tyres off the rims and spotting these cracks before they became a much bigger problem. 😬

Quiet, steady day for car #17:
