Thread: Motorsport deep dark rabbit hole...

A few of you that know me know of my addiction to motorsports.....

This season has seen a change to the livery of our car to tart the old girl up.
We've raced the car in the South Island Endurance Series for the last 6yrs or so.
This year we put in a big effort and came away with the trophies.
1st in Class 5 (0-2000cc)
1st 4 cylinder car
1st 2L car
2nd in Am/Am cup
8th overall.

We were the first home built car in a field of factory built race cars worth in excess of 500k each. So i think we did ok for a bunch of dudes doing it for the fun of it.
Our season budget was probably the same as some of the other teams tyre budget for 1 race alone!

The season wasn't without dramas on track and off.
We lost a very close friend and fellow competitor to a road accident that wasn't his fault. That really gave us a shakeup and a big realization that shit happens and we need to live for now while we can. Enjoy life and keep those friends and family close to us!

On track we had handling and brake issues but worked our way through them between rounds. Tyre supply had been a major impact on our season and we only managed to have enough after begging borrowing and stealing from other teams.


Tv3 has coverage on this Sunday, of the NZ Champs we competed in a couple weeks ago down at Cromwells Highlands circuit. You might even see some absolute twat getting interviewed....😆

I blame the commentators curse for our outcome as the LF wheel tried to exit stage left and put us out of the NZ Champs.
