Carlos Phillips Racing, Dannevirke (2026)

02/02/2026

New Zealand Classic Motorcycle Racing Register (NZCMRR) this past weekend has been full of ups and downs

Friday practice was focused on primarily getting our suspension settings sorted and getting comfortable with the bike, also trying different compound tyres and overall just testing! ✅

Going into Saturday i was unsure on how fast the rest of the field were so i had in my head a top 10 would be awesome, Qualifying i went out following the legend himself Eddie Kattenberg who quickly set the pace, I knew if i could at least stay somewhat close to him id get a good result. Qualifying ended in P3! I was over the moon🔥👌

Race 1 I was feeling alot more confident in myself knowing i have what it takes to get a good result. I had a mega start getting the holeshot and leading my first ever Post Classic F2 race for half a lap before getting nipped by Eddie and Nathan Jane which they then started pulling a decent gap and i knew i was safe where i was so i settled for third until Nathan had a mechanical causing me to finish my first ever Post Classic F2 race in second place!!!🥈💪 I never expected to get such a result going into this weekend it was awesome to see i have the pace to be at the front

Race 2 (Trophy Race) started off poorly coming out of turn one in 8th place I quickly knew i had the pace to be at the front but it was all about getting to the front so i put my head down and lap by lap picked a few of the riders off getting into 4th place by the last lap, i then pushed really hard and coming out of higgins i managed to sneak in the inside and take third place overall🥉 second pre 95 🥈

Sunday I was feeling really motivated after such a performance the day before, we went out and lined up on the grid then lights out and the bike was bogging heavily and i struggled to get it going i was pushed back to 10th and had to work very hard to secure a respectable 6th place finish.

After that race i told the crew what was happening and they quickly got to work to try and figure out the problem, then….. we found it had dropped another vlave guide so we had to call it.❌

Overall I need to take away the positives from the weekend it was such a awesome experience and a cool festival to be apart of, to think I went into the weekend hoping for top 10 to then get 2 podiums was absolutely awesome i can’t thank everyone around me enough for the continued support and help whether its big or small✅🔥

Cemetery Circuit 🔥

Boxing day started off bright and early for a big days racing and bike and gear check ✅

Practice was at 7.30am where i was getting a grips with the track and trying to get a good feel for the bike as we had made significant suspension adjustments making the bike feel a whole lot different than usual (in a better way). I was third in practice in class.

Qualifying went great i managed to get one good flying lap in which put me 13th on the grid and P2 in class

Race one started off really well jumping into P8 going into the first corner P2 in class having awesome battles every lap until lap 5 where i had a bit of a lye down at toyota corner. Luckily there wasnt any major damage and Sav and Pop were able to get the bike sorted for the next race 👌

Race 2 was again another awesome race where cloudy conditions made tyre choice important but also difficult, i ended up going out on slick tyres as it was a dry track still. Two laps into the race it started to rain and the track quickly got damp making race pace very slow it was a matter of staying on the bike and finishing the race without loosing any points. Ended the race P6 (P2 in class)

I definitely enjoyed it alot on the Ducati it was loads of fun and i was happy to walk away with P3 in the championship which im stoked with for my rookie season on the bike🤩

All eyes are on the Classics Festival now at Manfeild Jan 31st - Feb 1st, I will be racing in the pre 95 F2 class making for some great racing🤙

Big thanks to everyone as usual

Another successful weekend Manfeild for the Cemetery Circuit suzuki series RND ✌️

Saturday started off really well for me going straight into the 1.18s in practice consistently which was what i was doing at a track day at manfeild not long ago, making me sit in P2 for practice.

Qualifying I was feeling really confident and the track conditions could not have been better, I ended up topping the qualifying charts with a 1.16.141 …. I was stoked🔥

Race 1 started off well and i soon got into a rhythm and ended the race in P3 setting another PB of 1.15.9

Race two was much the same i was getting really confident in my tyre grip and having awesome battles with Eddie Kattenberg and a couple other riders again setting a PB which is now my current best lap at manfeild of a 1.15.1🙌

Race 3 we had made some significant suspension changes which didn’t work in my favour and i was struggling the whole race not doing the pace i had previously been doing, also having lost the rev counter midway through didn’t help, after a unfortunate mechanical for another rider i managed to snag a P2👌

Overall finishing the weekend P2 in the championship standings going into the final round on the streets of Wanganui in 10 days time where i will hope to have some success🤩

Big thanks to everyone supporting me and keeping me and the bike working smoothly

Thats a wrap for round ☝️ of the Suzuki Series at Taupo International Motorsport Park🔥

Started off on Saturday with a fresh bike at a track i haven’t ridden at in a year, was difficult to get a grips with trying to find my braking markers and what race lines to use in certain areas of the track.

Had 6 laps in practice on saturday morning then straight into qualifying which was hard because even in qualifying i was still adjusting my race lines and trying to learn how to ride this bike on this track, i managed to qualify 11th on the grid (2nd in class) which i was happy with considering i was struggling to get comfortable with the track.

Race 1 on saturday started well but i was really struggling to get comfortable and also there was an oil spill which covered a few corners of the track making them slippery, ended the race 3rd in class which i was happy with.

Race 2 and 3 on sunday i started feeling alot more confident setting pbs every lap, finished both those races 2nd in class which sets me 2nd in the standings.

I was really happy with how i adapted to the track with the bike and trusted my tires learning alot along the way, overall really happy with the outcome of this weekend🤙

Onto Manfeild this coming weekend for a few more races👌

Big thanks to everyone in the team keeping the pits mint and bike running smooth🙌

Victoria Motorcycle Club Inc Round ✌️

The weekend started well on the saturday for MotoTT Trackdays practice, i was straight away doing my 1.18 Pb and was feeling really good on the bike👌

Sunday starting with qualifying i managed to get P3 with a 1.19.6 which i was happy with being the first session out of the day

The races went as well as i could’ve hoped for setting PBs all day long and got a new PB of 1.16.931🔥

Race placings 4-4-3-4-2

Im getting more and more comfortable and confident on the bike as time goes on, this series is a perfect starting point for me to adjust to the riding style for this bike. Im looking foward to the next round which hopefully i will be able to race but at this stage its hard to tell as we are waiting parts which may not be here in time

Victoria Motorcycle Club Inc Round 1

Saturday started with a MotoTT Trackdays using the day as a starting point for me on the new bike it worked well having being able to get a good feeling on the bike and make small adjustments such as lever postions, rearsets ect and just overall learning how the bike handles compared to the little old R3🔥.
As the day went on i felt more and more comfortable on the bike we found tyre pressures that seemed to work and made alot of adjustments with sprockets sizes and a few other things to get the best out of the bike for sunday.

Heading into race day with a bike that had a small misfire was abit hard to get grips with but in the end i manged to keep the bike upright and keep setting pbs all day long ending with a 1.18.307 lap which is the fastest ive been around that track. Races were good having a good battle with another guy finishing the races 2nd in class in all 5 races scoring good points for the series👌

The bike is now back in a million bits and have alot more performance parts that are slowly but surely arriving and getting front suspension sorted and hopefully getting rid of the small misfire, looking foward to round ✌️ in a couple weeks back at Manfeild where i hope to improve alot more🤙

👇As always thanks👇
