Round 2 Race Report

Round 2 of the Victorian Kart Championship was held at the Geelong Kart Club, Beckley Park, Corio across 3 days from April 29th to May 1st.

163 entrants across 10 classes competed across the weekend, on Saturday warm and sunny weather provided the drivers great conditions to set some fast times in qualifying and race Heat 1 and 2, but as predicted large lightning storms rolled across the state Saturday night and with it some good rain and windy and blustery conditions for Sunday, turning the track into some tough and tricky conditions for the drivers.

With the heavy winds throughout the day the importance of drafting down the start/finish straight was magnified and resulted in some unusually big slip streams between the drivers presenting a large amount of over taking opportunities into turn 1 and along the grand stand straight into turn 3, which made a lot of close and exciting racing and close finishes for those watching on at track side.

Be sure to visit the Karting Australia CMS for all the detailed results from every race over the weekend and get the updated points tally from the link above.

 


 

TaG 125 Masters 

Qualifying, Heat 1 and Heat 2
A field of 7 drivers made up the first class to hit the track for the weekend with the #64 Kart of Glenn Riddell pipping the #4 kart of Phil Smith for the pole position in qualifying by the narrowest margin possible 1 thousandths of a second (.001).  

Heat 1 
The polesitter took out the win from the #6 kart of Steven Riddell and the #24 of Stephen Simpson, with Phil Smith and Mark Poole suffering DSQ’s.

Heat 2
Glenn Riddell again took out the win by only .133 from Phil Smith who overcame his bad luck in Heat 2, with Steven Riddell claiming 3rd.

Prefinal
With the overnight thunderstorms and rain the Tag 125 Masters class were the first drivers for the weekend to venture out onto the wet but drying track and the decision to use wet or dry tyres would be critical. 

Both Glenn and Steven Riddell were the brave two drivers that took to the track on slicks while the rest of the field opted for wet tires, with both drivers taking it easy at the start into turn one and letting the rest of the field sensibly go by. Stephen Simpson was on the tale of Phil Smith in the early stages but Smith appeared to be revelling in the wet conditions and took out a 6 second win from Simpson and the #18 kart of Vern Kranz in 3rd.

#4 Phil Smith leads the Prefinal of TaG 125 Masters class into turn 1 followed by #24 Stephen Simpson and #50 Lucas Burt.

03
With more grip from wet tyres on the slippery track #4 Phil Smith puts a lap on #64 Glenn Riddell who was brave on slicks in the TaG 125 Masters Prefinal.

Final
With the track pretty much back to a dry surface and everyone on slicks a small shower soaked the track in the early running making conditions for the drivers challenging with most drivers using the outside line searching for grip the field spread out quickly, Glenn and Steven Riddell were able to get out front in the 20 lap final and not be challenged with Glenn taking the win from Steven with Phil Smith in 3rd and Vern Kranz in 4th, with #20 Mark Poole unluckily spinning a chain and finishing with a DNF.

#18 Vern Kranz took a solid 4th position in the 20 lap TaG 125 Masters final.

With the track still wet enough for the drivers to use wet tyres Riddell used his knowledge from an earlier race in the wet to take the lead and battled with Nicolaou and Webster throughout, going on to win from Webster and a #99 Peter Gigis who was brave and gambled on using a slick tyre and did a great drive to come through the field to finish in 3rd setting a lap time over 1 second quicker than anyone else after starting down the back of the field. Leigh Nicolaou had a great scrap with the #13 of Aaron Jackson and #30 John Reynolds all fighting for 4th, 5th and 6th.

Prefinal

With the track still wet half of the field opted for slicks while the other half went with wets. In the early stages the drivers on slicks struggled but as the race went on and the track became more dry and those drivers more confident of where the grip was, the slick tyres proved to be the correct choice with Ruby Gibson really getting going in the final stages and going on to take a 9 second win from Toby Dvorak and #16 Jesse Lacey.

30
Cadet 9 drivers get ready for the start of Prefinal.

32
#34 Ruby Gibson was brave to head out on slicks but it was the right decision as with 4 laps to go her kart really got going and she drove through the pack to win by 9 seconds in the Cadet 9 Prefinal. 

31
#14 Toby Dvorak takes 2nd place in Prefinal of Cadet 9.

 

Final
The final would see one of the races of the day with 3 drivers Gibson, Arnett and Dvorak getting out front and continually swapping positions for the lead while another big pack of drivers formed to fight it out for 4th position. At times Gibson looked to take command but then would be over taken and then would re-take the lead once more. The lead must have changed over half a dozen times in the final stages with Dvorak taking the win from Arnett and Gibson, all drivers putting on some clean awesome racing.

36
One of the best races of the day was in Cadet 9 final with the lead changing between 3 drivers, #14 Toby Dvorak, #34 Ruby Gibson and #40 Harry Arnett all the way throughout the race.

37
#14 Toby Dvorak had a terrific drive to take 1st position in the Cadet 9 final.

Again in the Prefinal it was Nicolaou at the front but this time had Sera closing in right on his tail, with Sera looking to pass for the lead in the final stages along with Francis right behind him.

83
#34 Jordan Nicolaou takes the win ahead of #1 James Sera in KA3 Senior Light Prefinal.

 

KA3 Senior Light Final
In the final there was a huge crash heading into turn 1 that claimed Nicolaou, Sera, Francis, Donald and Careless, pushing those drives right to the back of the pack. This allowed the #85 of Andy Simpson to get out in front along with #46 Elijah D’Cruz for most of the race. Francis battling his way back through the pack after being pushed down to 8th put in a great drive to finish 3rd, while Nicolaou came through to finish 4th from 10th and Sera 7th after being as low as 12th. Simpson was happy to sit on the back of D’Cruz for most of the race but took the lead with 6 to go only for to D’Cruz to retake the lead and then for Simpson to grab it back 2 laps later. This allowed Francis who was on a charge through the field to catch them and heading onto the final straight with the use of a huge slip stream from the 2 in front Francis almost pulled off a remarkable victory, but it was Simpson who did enough to cross the line first only buy the tiniest of margins beating D’Cruz by .007 of a second who was right along side him, with Francis in a slingshot and just falling short by .096 of a second.
