Only a week before race day I fractured my foot in a soccer game. The doctor told me to rest it and wear a moon boot for 2 weeks. Was that enough to stop me racing? Hell NO! I arrived at the Taupo race track for practice day limping in my moon boot. Dad went […]
Full update time. Yesterday was round 4 of the 2KCup all the way down in Taupo. We raced on the short version of the track (track 2 for those in the know) that meant there was no long straight to catch your breath. Saturday there was a chance to get some practice in but we […]
If you didn’t look out the window yesterday, it was raining and the track was wet. It made for an interesting round 3 with heavy rain in the morning leading many to believe the day would be called off. Racing was delayed for one and a half hours while we waited to see if it […]
Time for another race weekend recap. So as I said in an earlier post, last weekend wasn’t an actually race weekend. It was instead a competitive track day. This basically meant it was a race without any points, although in the drivers briefing they kept reinforcing that it wasn’t a race to ensure we didn’t […]
Here’s the low down from another great weekends racing. Sunday morning saw the practice that wasn’t qualifying as the grids were decided by our championship positions. Never the less both me and Dad did fastest ever times so the excitement was building. In the race I chose to start and was on the grid next […]
Another big race day. Interesting to race on a new circuit but it was very fun. First off we had only one qualifying session for both of us to learn the track. There was a quick change with only one race suit between the two of us but dad only managed a few laps. I […]
Not exactly the race day we were after. Dad got back in the car for the first race and managed to once again break it. We managed to fix it before my race but it meant I was starting off the back of the grid. To make matters worse it was a reverse grid so […]
Well its officially official. I AM A RACE CAR DRIVER. Awesome fun yesterday but definitely room for improvement, Dad seems to think he has me beat. In the first race I started from 31st (out of 45) and felt I did well to finish 32nd after spinning twice. The first spin was my fault, but […]
