📢 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔/𝟐𝟕 𝐕𝐌𝐏𝐀 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞!

Unfortunately, following changes to the Timmis Speedway calendar the originally scheduled opening round for the VMPA, and long awaited return to the banks of Timmis Speedway on Saturday, 31 October is no longer available.

After many discussions and possibilities, The VMPA unfortunately was not able to confidently commit too the alternative dates in the best interests of our members, teams and supporters.

As a result, Round 1 will now be held at Blue Ribbon Raceway Horsham on Saturday, 31 October, allowing us to keep our planned season opener.

While this change was outside of our control, We are grateful to have secured Horsham and appreciate everyone’s understanding.

We hope to get back to Timmis speedway one day soon, and will continue to pursue events in our members best interests.

We look forward to seeing you all there to kick off another great season!

FWRT – End of Season Wrap-Up

This year will go down as one of the most successful seasons in almost 30 years of racing super sedans for FWRT.

We took out the Victorian Super Sedan Series, finished 3rd in the Avalon Track Championship, picked up 4 podium finishes, and racked up numerous heat wins along the way. A huge season by any measure.

Lionel's driving has been superb all year, and it's matched by the effort he puts in off the track too — the hours spent on maintenance repairs and setups have really paid dividends this year

To our crew — Denny, Riley, Graham, Ben, Nikki, and everyone else who's lent a hand this season — thank you. The time you all give up away from home to be trackside supporting our program means more than you know.

To our sponsors:
APCO Service Stations thank you for fuelling our season. Their stations are right on or near the way to most of the tracks we race at, so next time you're filling up, jump in and grab a coffee or a jaffle to support them back.

Johnny Dyno Engines — thank you to John for building us great engines and for the trackside support whenever we've needed it.

SWEET CHASSIS AUSTRALIA Thanks to both Matt and Brad Pascoe for their guidance this year around setup of the car

And finally to the Victorian Super Sedan Association thank you for putting together a great calendar of racing this year. We're really looking forward to the positive changes coming for 2026/27, and none of it happens without the committee and volunteers who sacrifice their time for the sport.

Onwards to next year, we know this sport never stands still and we have work to do to stay at the front.
