VIDEO – SMP Shannons Nationals (July 13 – 15)

Qualifying and Race One Report

The track at Sydney Motorsport Park was dry under a sunny sky for qualifying, the car felt great, tuned in well from the practice set-up and responding well to the new tyres. There was very little time separating the leaders and we weren’t quite up there but we did manage to qualify ninth outright and fourth in our class with a P9 on the grid.
Race One

The start was aborted due to an unfortunate brake problem with Adam Gills car. After a second warm-up lap I managed to stick the start and round the first turn with the rest of the pack. After that it was head down trying to shave seconds off the laps times and keep up with the national drivers. It was a clean race with one safety car period after Jordan Skinner had a quick spin on the final corner. The Snake Racing/AGI SPORT F3 car had an excellent race set up with the car feeling tight and responsive from start to finish. I ended the race up 2 spots in P7 to finish 3rd in class. Tomorrow I want to concentrate on another clean race with a refined car set-up to gain more speed around the track.
