Sandown Park 3H 🏁
Traffic, strategy and plenty of action
DNH headed to Sandown Park for a 3-hour endurance race, with a mixed-class grid that created lots of traffic and several Safety car periods. With strategy playing a key role throughout, every team had to adapt quickly.
Racing solo in Senna’s Squadron, Chris held a fast, consistent pace throughout the event. Alongside finding time to give Murphy a wave on track, he also set the fastest lap of the race by a ballasted driver and brought the kart home in P1.
The Miles-Shelby Squad of Murphy and Sean delivered a well-executed race, combining smart strategy with consistently strong pace in heavy traffic to produce a solid performance from start to finish and finish P2.
The Iron Dames, featuring the two Evies, proved that endurance racing is just as much about enjoyment as results. With plenty of big drifts and a fun-filled race, they kept spirits high throughout the three hours to finish in P6. A strong performance for this up and coming team.
Josh and Matt were custodians of the Dad’s kart, with the whole team wishing Adam a speedy recovery in time for MK. They started the race in fourth following a strong qualifying. A clever strategic decision to run Josh unballasted, maximising the opportunity to cut through the traffic easily, paid dividends as he set the fastest lap of the Sodi field. Combined with a strong opening stint and consistent race pace, the pair delivered an excellent performance to finish P7.
Kristensen’s Klub saw Josh and Olly make both their DNH and endurance racing debuts. The event proved to be a valuable learning experience for the pair, who worked well together throughout the race and showed plenty of promise, finishing P14. Keep an eye on these two - they’re certainly ones to watch in future events.
Joel and Rob represented Hawthorn’s Heroes and produced one of the drives of the day, climbing from the back of the field to finish 17th. A fantastic recovery drive, with smiles all round at the chequered flag.
Overall, it was another enjoyable endurance outing for DNH at Sandown Park!
