NEXT EVENT : BMW Race Driver Series – Round 4 Hampton Downs – 14th February 2026

BMW Race Series round 1

November 26th, 2025

Just completed round 2 of the BMW Race Driver Series Nexen Tyre NZ e46 championship Hampton Downs !
It was an action packed weekend, we started on Friday with 4 practices, all of them went good considering we made changes after every session testing different set up options.
On Saturday we had qualifying and 1 race , qualifying was in the morning and it was already scorching hot! Unfortunately we put the tyre pressures too high and mucked around a bit too much but nonetheless I got 11th which is not bad for my second ever qualifying.
In race 1 I didn’t get the best of starts dropping back a couple positions but throughout the race I managed to get them back up and finish 10th one place better than where I started.
On Sunday I only got one race in due to someone having a serious medical event during their race in the afternoon and my thoughts go out to him and his family!
In race 2 I got a solid start from 9th getting up to 8th on the first lap, I had some good clean battles with the cars around me but unfortunately dropped 2 places on the last lap being stuck on the outside which made me finish 10th.
Overall was another good learning weekend and the car is still in one piece without a single mark on it!
So eyes forward to Mad Mike Whiddett summer bash on the 6th where I get to take some of my mates and family for cruise laps around Hampton downs and then round 1 of the bmw endurance championship the next day!
Thanks to the family’s and my supporter’s that continue to back me
