🌧️ Mallala Recap – Wet Weather Warriors 🌧️
What a weekend! From dry pace on Friday to full-on rain mode by Sunday, the team delivered one of our strongest performances yet 💪
📅 Friday Practice – Strong pace in the dry had us feeling confident
⏱️ Quali – P5 with an identical time to P4 and just 0.1s off P3
🌧️ Race 1 – Torrential rain = level playing field. Brought it home P3 under safety car
💦 Race 2 – More wet chaos. Fought hard and claimed P2 after post-race penalties
🌊 Race 3 – Heaviest rain of the weekend but stayed patient and brought home another P2!
Massive shoutout to Matt and Tom for the spanner and engineering work — the car is the best it’s ever felt 🙌
Also a huge thank you to Des and Dad for all their work behind the scenes leading up to the weekend — it doesn’t go unnoticed and we wouldn’t be on the grid without it 👏
We’re back in action in a month’s time — let’s keep building on this momentum! 🏁
And to our amazing partners, sponsors, and supporters — thank you for turning up, cheering us on (even in the rain!), and backing the journey 💙

Weekend Recap: A Tough but Promising Interstate Debut

Our first trip to Victoria brought challenges and valuable lessons!

Race 1 – Running strong until a last-lap spin dropped Luke to P17.
Race 2 – Hard-fought battles led to a solid P15 finish.
Race 3 – Smart overtakes and patience earned Luke P13!

We fought hard all weekend despite a clear lack of power compared to the competition. The team is already working on improving engine performance for the next round!

Massive effort from Matthew Michelson and the crew to keep us in the fight. Big things coming this week—stay tuned for exciting news on Luke Maeder and the team! 🚀🔥

BACK ON THE PODIUM!! 🥉
What a weekend! After an intense battle on track, we’re heading home with a hard-earned P3 and some hardware to show for it! 💪🔥

From the first session, we knew this round was going to be a challenge. Every race demanded everything we had. A solid qualifying put us in the mix, but the real fight came in the race. Wheel-to-wheel battles, strategic moves, and some late-race lunges kept us on our toes, but we dug deep and made it count when it mattered most.

A huge thank you to the team for their relentless effort, to our partners and sponsors for their support, and to everyone cheering us on! This podium is for all of you and for those we've lost on the way. Time to regroup, analyse, and come back even stronger next time. Onwards and upwards! 🚀🏎️
