Eseries: Round 2 Recap

Get SVG, JDub & Max’s thoughts following last night’s races at Silverstone & Barcelona! 🇬🇧🇪🇸

"Round two of the Eseries was really cool and it was awesome to get my first race win for the series tonight. I was finally able to have a night clear of any carnage compared to last week but was glad to get through all four races without any incidents and managed to get four great results which was nice. Racing with Max was also great, we managed to get some practise laps together before the races started which obviously helped us at both Silverstone & Barcelona, and it was cool communicating with him throughout the race. I was fortunate enough to also win $1000 for my designated charity, Wings for Life – a Red Bull charity, which is a fantastic cause and an even better initiative by Supercars for the round winner."

"Having never used a simulator for more than two laps before last Wednesday, my realistic plan has always been to be competitive by mid-way through the season and I feel I am on track. Last week was about getting a feel for what sim racing is all about and what’s required. This week over the Easter break I spent most of my time at Triple Eight working with the engineers and fabricators building my sim which has come up awesome. It’s only 90% complete but I’ll share some photos once it’s all done. While I again loved the whole technicality of last nights e-racing, I didn’t enjoy not being competitive. This week is all about driving and getting up to speed. It was awesome listening to Max and SVG during the race as they somewhat ganged up on rest of the field with Max playing tail gunner. That has motivated me to want to get amongst it and help out where I can."
