2025 - FEBRUARY - MOTORSPORT

Hi All

 

Welcome back to another action packed year of club level motorsport. Hopefully you have given the rocket a thorough service, changed the brake fluid, chucked some new brake pads in and are raring to go. Maybe you have made some tweeks over the break, upgrades here and there to hopefully go a bit quicker this year. Maybe you are relying on just giving the nut behind the steering wheel a tune-up to gain some time on track, thats actually where the most gains are normally made!!!

 

We have a packed calendar once again, check it out elsewhere on the club webpage. Round 1 is already done & dusted, thanks to our great friends at TSOA. Round 2 is the first chance to unleash the beast on the wide open straights of Wanneroo (Carco) Raceway. Entries are coming in steadily but we need a packed field of 60 to make the day worthwhile. As mentioned elswhere, we are following on from last year with dedicated driver training before the sprint gets underway. This is a great opportunity to have a go without great expense and under experienced instructors to see if driving on the track is for you.

 

We are also having another crack at RollRacing at the end of the day. After the great success of trying it at the end of the passenger ride day where everyone enjoyed it. Its a simple format, rolling start drag race along pit straight, knockout competition, last man/women standing wins. Slower cars get the jump. It was interesting to see some of the match-ups last year did not quite pan out the way you would think, some fast cars being knocked out by better reaction/driving so everyone has a good chance. It is fun regardless and a good spectacle to hang around to watch atleast. Please register you interest so we know how many are intending to have a go.

 

April is pretty packed with Easter and the first BEERS (Budget Extreme Endurance Racing Series) event for the year down in Collie which quite a few members participate in. Its also great practice for Round 3 which is our clubs first chance to get down to Collie. May 4th is must on you calendar, if you enjoy Wanneroo, you will love Collie. Great track, challenging layout, fast in places and and all round fun get away for a motorsport fanatic.

 

See you out on track
