๐ Dargle Race Weekend Recap ๐
What a way to wrap up the GP Series for the year!
GP Series
Practice went well with a solid run.
Unfortunately, Qualifying was cut short after only 3 laps when a fuel fitting came loose.
Sprint Race 1 was a good, consistent run.
Reverse Grid race was another strong run, bringing home 3rd place.
Main Race started perfectly and the boat felt the best it had all weekend, but unfortunately the fuel fitting came loose again, ending our charge.
Despite the setbacks, we finished the GP Series 6th Overall for the year. A great result for Brandonโs first season in the boat and plenty to build on moving forward.
Dargle Australian Championship Racing
๐ค Unlimited Outboard Championship
Qualified 1st in Heat 1 and the boat felt the best it ever has.
Made the final against all the Unlimited boats with my little GP engine, which was a huge achievement.
๐ค 2.5 Carby Australian Championship
Qualified 2nd in Heat 2.
Unfortunately, the final wasnโt our day, with some engine dramas causing a loss of power and the boat just wasnโt 100%.
๐ค Unlimited Outboard Final Qualifier
The boat wasnโt quite right, so we made the call to pull out after Lap 1 rather than risk further damage.
A massive thank you to my crew Jake, Matt, Jack, Lucy and Haylee, and everyone else who stuck around all weekend cheering on TwoSix. Racing is never a one-person effort, and we couldnโt do it without the people behind it.
Thank you to the Dargle family for putting on another great weekend of racing.
