I will consider it, does your club race F1 regularly ? if so haw many turn up ?

Round 3 at SMA will now become round 4
new Round 3 will be NSW state titles held at Thursday 30th April - Sunday 3rd May.

I will update page 1,

With round 2 fast approaching the locals will be hard to beat and have really stepped up their game. It should be a cracker of an event.

Last local club round had 4 F 1 cars but there are another up to 4 without a problem.
The issue is giving them a reason to race when they have 2 - 3 other cars.
I think if planned as a large class day numbers could be large.

F1 points after round 2 attached

NSW F1 series Round 2, ACT state titles

13 Drivers again lined up again for round 2 in Canberra. While the temperature stayed down for the weekend the racing was hot. There were with 3 drivers that stood out in practice, local Mark Wallan, Queenslander Corey Broadstock, hot from the previous weekend win at the Vic titles, and round 1 winner Beth Cullen. There were also a couple of quick locals making their F1 debut’s with their new Xray F1’s and were sure to try ruffle the competition.
Saturday was always going to be a tight day with Mark taking first blood in round 1 by just 0.4 of a second from Beth. Round 2 was Corey’s turn with Mark making a few mistakes with Beth again second. Mark would hit back in round 3 to take his second round win after some errors by Corey, Beth a distant 3rd not overly happy with her front grip in the cooler conditions. With the afternoon a little hotter Beth’s car was working a little better but still unable to catch Mark, with Corey again faltering to 3rd. ACT locals Justin Reddiex, James Westhorp and Rodney De Haviland were all gaining valuable experience and speed and fighting closely for the next few positions on the grid.

Sunday saw racing delayed for a few hours to water on the track, which made tire choice very critical for the last 2 qualifiers. With most drivers now on Shimizu’s, Mark’s car was on fire and took a comfortable Q5, but Q6 Beth took the gamble to switch back to Ride’s, which paid off with a round win in Q6 to cement 2nd on the grid from Mark who took a much deserved TQ position for the finals. Corey was still suffering from consistency issues, but was hopeful the issue identified and fixed just before the finals and qualified 3rd overall.
Rodney finished qualifying with a great drive to 4th from Justin and James, F1 and RC Stalwart Bob Death found his rhythm late in qualifying to qualify 7th from Anthony Pelli who was making his state title debut, with Ian Webber and Phil Merrick rounding out the 10.
The B Final saw some great and close racing between Gerald Elias, Allan Kemp and Jake Williams with all 3 drivers trading the lead lap after lap with Gerald holding out the win From Allan.

Race 1 would see Mark, Beth and Corey all share the lead in the opening stages, with Corey fighting through to pass Mark on the very last Lap to take the win, Beth 3rd. Round 2 saw the track cool significantly but with Corey’s car now working well was able to take the lead on the opening lap and never looked back taking the win from Mark. Beth had issues at the start with cold tyres and starting on the dirty side of the track, but was able to make her way from 6th on the first lap back to 3rd by the half way point. Ian had a clean run from 9th on the grid to 4th closely followed by James and Bob.
With Corey wrapping up the title he decided to sit out final 3. Both Mark and Beth cruised home in 1st and 2nd, to cement their place on the podium, While the next 4 positions were only separated by a point, James was able to take 4th, from Rodney, Justin and Ian. Bob, Phil and a little unlucky Anthony rounded out the 10.

Thanks to the ACT team for running a great meeting.

The next round of the series will take place at the NSW titles on the first weekend in May at Whalan in Sydney’s west.

SMA should be a great event, the one day/night Saturday format I think is a great idea.

I will work with Whalan and have that round rescheduled on a club day along with mini.
