Sunday 2 August was Round 3 of the Auskart Racing Endurance Series hosted by the Warwick Kart Club and completed the double header weekend of racing.
Our Senior Light team knew they had pace in the kart and while it looked a little battered after Saturday, it was fast. The boys decided to let Caine take control of qualifying and he didn’t disappoint putting it on pole to start at the front of his class for the standing start.
Jensen had worked out the plan with the help of the boys and after their competition had a moment on the spilt oil from another kart it was really for them to lose. They then went forward and executed their plan nicely with really good pace across all 3 drives. The result was a commanding win by 3 laps also leading the race outright at the finish! Good to see more points added to their championship lead at the half way mark.
Congrats to Jensen, Caine and Jaxon for another outstanding drive!
With our third Senior Heavy co-driver Ben unable to make the event we adjusted our strategy for 2 drivers. After Jay got warmed up in pre race practice, Dan took over for qually. This time he didn’t quite nail it but set the team up for a handy P2 start. Jay took the first drive and bought it back in touch with the field. Dan had this second stint however the Full Course Yellow triggered did not really work in their favour. At the restart Dan managed to get ahead of the other competitors in class before needing to pit. Back to Jay for another stint and back to Dan to take it home in P3.
So the Senior Heavy team currently sits second in the championship and will need to work hard in the second half to move forward, a challenge we will happily take on!
So now we take a 2 week break before Jensen heads to the next Karting Australia 4SS City Country round at the Toowoomba and Lockyer Valley kart Club over the two days of 15 & 16 August. We’re looking forward to it!
