Well, the reality is I don’t really have the right to post the amazing Bathurst podium and Race Win moments if I’m not also willing to post the tough weekends too.

This one was tough.

Friday rolled around and the car came straight out of the trailer fast. It was balanced, predictable and genuinely competitive from the first laps.

Then Saturday came, and things turned.

We qualified P2 but unfortunately suffered suspension damage during the session which ultimately ended in a crash and a DNS for Race 1.

After a massive effort Saturday night to fully repair and prep the car again before leaving the track, we rolled into Sunday ready to fight back. Unfortunately, after missing Race 1 and not getting a complete qualifying session, we miscalculated our fuel burn and Race 2 ended in a DNF. Short maybe 700m worth of fuel.

Race 3 though, that one honestly felt like a win. Starting from the back, we fought our way back through to P2. After the weekend we were having, just seeing the start lights felt like a victory, so to recover solid championship points was massive.

Race 4 was shaping up to be something special. Four cars fighting for the lead, absolutely flat out, inches apart at over 180km/h. It was proper open wheel racing. Aggressive, committed, and unbelievably good fun. Unfortunately, an intermittent miss developed during the race and dropped us from P3 back to P6, which more or less summed up the weekend.

But honestly, I still got to drive a race car and as frustrating as the damage, DNFs and championship hits are, how cool is that! The racing was an absolute blast and there are still so many opportunities ahead. To be anything other than committed moving forward would just be a poor example for the junior karting side of this team.

Massive thanks to Caitlyn for helping source parts and getting them to us so quickly. Thanks to Michael, Yippy, Dylan, Brady and Jack for the huge effort getting me back on track.

And also, thanks to the competitors and rival teams that offered help over the weekend. Formula Ford might be fiercely competitive on track, but off track everyone just wants to see cool race cars out there racing hard. That’s something pretty special.

Thanks for helping us get back out there.…But I’m coming for you all next round.

One of those days!

Be back tommorow to make up some points and keep the championship on track.

Caitlyn, HUGE thank you for driving parts out and to the team for making magic happen. I promise I'll stop breaking stuff soon.

Yesterday’s practice went really well. The car had good pace, and we were right there or thereabouts on times across the sessions.

I’ve got a feeling today is going to be close, tough, and important from the very first qualifying lap. These are the days you look forward to.

Can’t wait to get into it.

Round 3 this weekend.

After a really solid start to the year, including a class podium at the Bathurst 6 Hour and a round win in Round 2, we’re heading into this one feeling confident and focused.

The work is done, now it’s about staying sharp, forcing a few mistakes, maximising opportunities, and making the most of the weekend.

A huge thanks again to Penrite Oil for their continued support of our racing program. I'm proud to continue representing a brand with such a strong history in Australia.

Looking forward to getting back behind the wheel.

As the sun set on our Bundy trip, Mum fittingly grabbed this photo to capture the moment, mainly because Dad forgot to take an action shot.

It was a steep learning curve for Gavin but a really positive weekend. He made big steps with his feedback and together we worked through a number of setup changes across the weekend.

His race craft was tested, he learnt a lot and most importantly, every session he got faster with a smile.

There’s still a way to go but the signs are positive and the progress is measurable.

Now it’s a quick turnaround as we head back to Cooloola Coast Kart Club this weekend.

Race day at Bundaberg Kart Club.

We got our first taste of the track yesterday and used the opportunity to work through a few setup changes and start understanding what the circuit wants.

Tomorrow is simple, no expectations, just a fun day, plenty of learning opportunities, and hopefully a big smile at the end of it all.

That’s what this journey is all about.

Race week is here, and the trailer is getting packed for Bundaberg Kart Club.

This weekend is all about learning a new track, understanding what it needs, and making sure we improve session by session. No pressure on results, just a clear focus on building confidence, finding rhythm, and taking steps forward every time Gavin heads out.

That’s what makes these weekends so special, the chance to learn, work together as a family team, and enjoy the journey.

Plenty of fun ahead, plenty to learn, and we’re grateful for every lap.

Bathurst 6 Hour, run and done.

What an event. Some fantastic results across all the classes, and once again just being part of something this big at Bathurst is humbling in itself.

We honestly did not quite have the car to fight at the front this year. We had our share of engine dramas, but that is endurance racing. The team knew if we just kept turning laps, anything could happen.

Despite all its protests, the car carried itself across the line after 6 hours and onto the Class C podium. To stand on a podium at Bathurst is something special. In that moment, everything else just disappears.

It was a mega effort all weekend. The whole PB Motorsport Services team threw absolutely everything at it, Terry Pankhurst was an absolute saint on the radio all weekend.

At the end of the night I took a quiet moment to stand there and take it all in, thinking about the greats who have had their own moments at this place.

To the team, thank you. It was not an easy weekend, but we got there. Oskar Butt and Troy Derwent mega stints guys. Really well done.

Halfway.

I started with a 2hr 15mins (ish) stint. Car isnt running 100% but its drivable and I stayed out of trouble.
