First day in a race car complete!

July 7th, 2025

Last Saturday we went to @hamptondownsnz to debut the car! It was real wet but we still went out learning the gears and the way the car handled, it was way different to a kart and it took a little bit to get my confidence up.
Around mid day the track dried up and I could finally push the car, I managed to get to a 1:22 with a dry track except for turn 2 where there was a huge puddle and the fast guy that was there in that session did a 1:20!
So for my first dry run I was only 2 seconds off, after that it started to pour down again with a real wet track for the next session, now I was finding the limits in the rain also!
With no mistakes from me the whole day I was proud of myself on how the debut went and I don’t think it could’ve turned out any better!
I would like to thank @andrewwaitenz for the induction and showing me, @milesbaker88 and @coleturney38 the way around the track!
I’m really excited about this new chapter in my racing career and riding along with my mates!
And I’m also real stoked on how the car turned out thanks to @aws_graphics and @redstarsigns !
