Challenge Bathurst 2024 Wrap Up

Conquering Mount Panorama: Our Unforgettable Experience at Challenge Bathurst

Mount Panorama is a race track that commands respect with its challenging layout and rich history. For racing enthusiasts like us, it's the ultimate testing ground—a place to push our skills to the limit. This year, our team had the opportunity to tackle this iconic circuit during Challenge Bathurst, and it was an experience that truly highlighted the unique demands and thrills of driving at such a renowned venue.

The Allure of Challenge Bathurst

Challenge Bathurst isn't just another event on the motorsport calendar; it's a festival of speed that brings together drivers from all walks of life. From seasoned professionals to enthusiastic rookies, everyone shares the same goal: to test themselves against one of the world's most demanding circuits. For those wondering how to become a race car driver or how to start racing, there's no better goal than the tarmac of Mount Panorama.

"It was our most successful Challenge Bathurst yet, with all the drivers exceeding our expectations.”

- Phil Alexander

Preparing for the Mountain

Our lineup featured a mix of talent, including two rookie drivers making their debut: Ronin Lindenmayer and Raphael "Raph" Wood. Both were eager to make their mark and gain invaluable experience. Under the guidance of our head coach, Phil Alexander, we have been working closely with both drivers over the last few months on their Driver Development plans to to provide them with the tools and support they needed to conquer the mountain.

Phil, a seasoned veteran with countless laps under his belt, emphasised the importance of anticipation. "We really focus on helping our drivers think ahead to the next corner because it's such a fast track," he explained. "By the time you're there, you need to be thinking about the next one."

One of our key strategies was utilising a lead car. This allowed our drivers to follow professional racing lines in real-time, drastically cutting down the learning curve. It's one thing to study a track map; it's another to see the ideal line unfold before your eyes at high speed.

Practice Makes Perfect - Driver Times

The format for Challenge Bathurst was Supersprint Thursday & Friday and Regularity Saturday & Sunday with 6 sessions spread over the two days of the event.

Practice Session Times:

• Ronin Lindenmayer (Mazda 3 MZR SP25): 2:55.5140

• Phil Alexander (Mazda RX8): 2:55.7400

• Raphael Wood (BMW M3 E46): 3:04.3430

Sprint 1:

• Ronin: 2:56.6110

• Phil: 2:54.9280

• Raph: 2:57.6630

Sprint 2:

• Phil: 2:56.0340

• Ronin: 2:57.3460

• Raph: 2:50.0280

Sprint 3:

• Ronin: 2:52.7240

• Phil: 2:50.1850

• Raph: 2:50.020

This was the highlight of the event. Ronin smashed his previous best by nearly five seconds. "I improved on corner speed, especially over the top," he said. "It's easy to go fast in a straight line, but daunting to do it over the top with all the tricks coming at you."

Phil continued to set an excellent example, while Raph's relentless focus on technical perfection saw him post a 2:47.4220. "I haven't stopped smiling from ear to ear," he beamed after the session.

Sprint 4:

• Phil: 2:51.8760

• Ronin: 2:52.5770

• Raph: 2:58.5490

As the track heated up, conditions became more challenging. Raph noted that the top end was hot and slippery, leading to a drop in times. Nevertheless, the experience gained was invaluable.

Reflections from the Mountain

Phil had high praise for both rookies. "Ronin was very focused on putting each lap together, really pushing himself to have a good lap time without creating any issues, whether mechanical or in traffic. He did really well improving as his track familiarity increased, with a view to competing in the Bathurst 6 Hour next year."

On Raph's performance, Phil commented, "Raph, being the technical thinker he is, was very analytical about each of the corners. This way of attacking the track meant that he was very accurate, and this played directly into his speed improvement under the conditions."

The Success of Team Effort

We also had three dry hires with more experienced racers who took full advantage of our race car hire at Bathurst services. Their feedback was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the quality of our vehicles and the support provided by our team. Head coach Phil noted "It was our most successful Challenge Bathurst yet, with all the drivers exceeding our expectations. The cars performed beautifully with no issues whatsoever and came home with no marks. Having done this for a number of years now, our experienced team was all over it and was able to give the drivers excellent support. At the end of the day, we want to bring fresh faces to Mount Panorama and make the bucket list real for drivers, and we did just that. Bring on the Bathurst 6 Hour 2025!"

Why Mount Panorama is the Ultimate Racing Experience

For anyone dreaming of racing at Mount Panorama or ticking off that ultimate bucket list item, events like Challenge Bathurst provide the perfect gateway. As a Supersprint or Regularity event, you're essentially racing against the clock—and yourself—without the intense door-to-door, bumper-to-bumper competition. This format makes participation more accessible, requiring only a Motorsport Australia Speed License. It opens the doors to experience Australia's most iconic track, allowing you to embrace the thrill of Mount Panorama without the high barriers typically associated with competitive racing.

Our experience this year reinforced why we do what we do. Providing access to top-quality cars, expert coaching, and a supportive team environment allows drivers to push their limits safely. Whether you're a seasoned pro or figuring out how to start racing, the mountain has something to teach you.

Looking Ahead

With the success of this year's event, our sights are set on the future. Ronin is gearing up for the Bathurst 6 Hour next year, and we're excited to see how he applies the lessons learned. Raph continues to fine-tune his technical approach, and we have no doubt he'll be a force to reckon with in upcoming events.

For those interested in joining us, we offer comprehensive packages that include everything you need to hit the track. From race car hire at Bathurst to personalised driver development plans, we're here to make your racing dreams a reality.

Is Buget Racing Possible? Why Smart Racers Rent, Not Own

Budget Racing with Arrive 'n' Drive: The Smart Racer’s Path to the Podium

When it comes to motorsport, the thrill of competition is unmatched. But let’s be honest—owning a race car isn't for the faint-hearted. The financial drain, time commitment, and sheer hassle of maintaining a high-performance machine can make it seem out of reach for most people. Enter Arrive 'n' Drive packages by RaceAway Track Time—the ultimate solution for racers who want to compete without the overhead of vehicle ownership. This service is designed by racers, for racers, to cut out the logistics and let you focus on what matters—driving fast and winning.

Arrive ‘n’ Drive at NSW Production Touring, Sydney Motorsport Park. Endurance round with Ronin Lindenmayer (#35), John Connolly and Phil Alexander (#53).

What is Arrive 'n' Drive?

At its core, Arrive 'n' Drive is a turnkey racing solution that gets you on the grid without the usual barriers. All you need is your race suit, helmet, and passion—the team at RaceAway handles the rest. From track-ready cars and expert coaching to full pit support, these packages are designed to let you show up and race.

This service caters to everything from entry level racing such as Deputy 4 Hour Enduro, to serious competition in events like Bathurst 6 Hour. With Phil Alexander—a racing legend with over 40 years of experience—leading the coaching, RaceAway ensures every driver is ready to hit the apex and chase the checkered flag.

The Benefits of Race Car Hire: Why Savvy Racers Choose to Rent

1. Skip Maintenance, Transport and Storage Headaches
   Maintaining and transporting a race car is no small feat, requiring mechanical know-how, sourcing rare parts, and constant upkeep between events. For those renting or living in units, the lack of garage space adds even more complexity. Add in the hassle of trailering the car to and from the track, and many drivers feel exhausted before they even arrive. RaceAway’s Arrive 'n' Drive service eliminates all these burdens—handling repairs, upgrades, storage, and transport—so you can simply show up and race, with a fully-prepped car waiting for you on the grid.

2. Access to Multiple Racing Categories and Cars
   Why lock yourself into one racing category when you can switch between multiple cars and series? One weekend, you could be tearing up the track in an RX8, and the next, competing in a Mazda MX5 endurance race. Whether it’s club racing, endurance events, or a national meet, race car hire gives you flexibility that owning a single vehicle can’t. This diversity ensures you can experiment with different types of cars to find the right fit for your driving style and goals.

3. Expert Guidance and VIP Access to Competitive Racing
   If you’re serious about leveling up, it helps to have someone with insider knowledge. RaceAway’s team, led by Phil Alexander, opens doors to national-level events and helps you navigate the world of licenses, rules, and strategies. Having someone “on the inside” breaks down the barriers to high-level motorsport, giving you access to the same tools and knowledge as seasoned professionals.

4. All-Inclusive Support: From Pit Crews to Strategy
   A major advantage of race car hire is that you’re not just renting a car—you’re getting a full racing team. From pit crew mechanics managing quick repairs to strategists mapping out the ideal race strategy, your team ensures you’re race-ready from the moment you hit the track. This service allows you to focus entirely on performance, giving you the edge over competitors trying to juggle logistics themselves.

5. No Surprise Costs
   Running a race car independently means dealing with unexpected expenses—blown tires, failed brakes, or engine repairs. With a hire package, everything is pre-budgeted. Tires, fuel, maintenance, and even spare parts are included, letting you know exactly what your racing weekend will cost. This predictability is crucial for racers looking to compete regularly without breaking the bank.

6. Low Commitment, High Reward
   If you’re not ready to invest in a full-time racing career, renting a race car gives you the perfect entry point. You can test the waters in multiple categories, refine your skills with professional coaching, and gradually build experience—all without the risk of committing to car ownership. This approach ensures you only invest more when you’re confident you’re ready to step up.

7. Freedom to Focus on Driving
   Motorsport should be about perfecting your lap times, overtaking competitors, and making it to the podium—not stressing over logistics. With RaceAway’s Arrive 'n' Drive service, the technical and logistical elements are handled for you, allowing you to concentrate entirely on driving and performance

Driver Development Program Experience

From Aspiration to Achievement: Manarth Prasad’s Journey with RaceAway Track Time

For many aspiring racers, transitioning from casual track days to competitive motorsport can feel like a daunting leap. But for Manarth Prasad, that leap was made possible through dedication, the right mentorship, and the tailored support of RaceAway Track Time’s Driver Development Program. Guided by our experienced head coach, Phil Alexander, Manarth embarked on a journey that saw him progress through endurance racing, hone his skills in various training days, and ultimately achieve his goal of competing at Challenge Bathurst behind the wheel of an RX8.

Manarth Prasad at Challenge Bathurst 2023 racing the RaceAway RX8 Cup Car

In this blog, Manarth shares his experience — from obtaining his Motorsport Australia Circuit License to thriving in competitive racing — and how the RaceAway team helped unlock his potential, both on and off the track.

“I've loved cars since I can remember, and had been participating in track days since I'd gotten my license. I was ready to step things up and start competing in motorsport and would need a competition license as I had aspirations of competing in the RX8 cup. 

I was referred Raceaway track time for my observed license test and was pleasantly surprised to discover that my license test was to be overseen by Phil Alexander, having been a long time fan of rotaries - I recognised the name, there was a model of one of his former race cars in the workshop I use!

Challenge Bathurst 2023, RaceAway RX8 Cup Car 

It's safe to say that what was meant to be a simple one day exam has turned into a valued partnership with a wonderful group of people. Though I'd obtained my license, I was by no means a racing driver - by utilising Raceaway track times connections I was able to access a variety of entry level events that I would not have known had ever existed.

“I can’t speak enough to the value to be found in working with someone with the breadth of experience provided by Phil. With a keen eye and understanding of each individual driver that he works with, the strong focus on foundational learning has equipped me with the ability to feel confident in a formal race environment. ”

Driving skills aside, understanding how to navigate the formalities of organised racing events, the decorum expected by officials at a race track - all of which is made a thousand times easier with the guidance of someone with decades of experience. It means that you're able to focus on the important part, developing your skills and driving.

I was able to participate in lower level events, frequent practice sessions and within five months, I was offered an opportunity to compete in challenge Bathurst. Through everything I had learnt in working with Phil in that short period of time, I actually felt equipped with the knowledge and ability to enjoy and learn from the experience of driving on one of the best tracks in the entire world. 

Taking everything I had learnt, just under a year on from obtaining my license and now having experienced a wide variety of cars and racetracks, I have now achieved my goal of competing regularly in the RX8 cup - with the knowledge and skills I now possess, I can comfortably look upon my growth and past self and say that none of the joy any of this has brought to my life would have been possible without the guidance, friendship and company of Phil and the team. I highly suggest that anybody with the interest, whether you're an enthusiast, working on your own growth or someone with genuine aspirations towards being a racing driver - reach out to the team, there's a world of experiences and possibilities out there. All that's missing is you.”

Australian Production Championships

The Australian Production Car Championship: Your Ultimate Guide

The Australian Production Car Championship (APC) is one of the premier motorsport events in Australia, offering drivers the chance to compete at a national level. With roots dating back to 1987, the APC has become a key fixture in the Australian racing calendar, known for its competitive spirit and diverse classes. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the history, structure, and requirements of the APC, and how RaceAway Track Time’s Arrive 'n' Drive package can get you on the grid.

RaceAway Track Time Mazda SP25 at Australian Production Cars Phillip Island

A Brief History of the Australian Production Car Championship

The APC was first contested in 1987, making it one of the longest-standing production car racing championships in Australia. Originally, the championship was determined by the results of two races at Winton Motor Raceway in Victoria. Over the years, the APCC has evolved, undergoing various rebrandings and format changes, including its stint as the Australian GT Production Car Championship.

In 2003, the championship reverted to its original name, and from 2008 to 2015, it was awarded under the Australian Manufacturers' Championship. Since 2016, it has been known as the Australian Production Car Series, continuing to draw significant interest from drivers and teams across the country.

The Structure of the APCC

The APCC is a national-level racing series sanctioned by Motorsport Australia, serving as a precursor to the Bathurst 6 Hour, one of Australia’s most challenging endurance races. The 2024 season includes six rounds, each offering unique challenges across some of the country’s most iconic tracks.

• Round 3: Queensland Raceway (July 12-14) - 1x 3-hour "Fight in the Night"

• Round 4: Phillip Island (August 23-25) - 4x 1-hour races

• Round 5: Sydney Motorsport Park (October 18-20) - 4x 1-hour races

• Round 6: Bathurst International (November 8-10) - 4x 30-minute sprints

Each round features a mix of sprint and endurance races, testing the speed, strategy, and stamina of both drivers and cars. The Bathurst International is particularly notable, pushing competitors to their limits on the legendary Mount Panorama circuit.

Classes in the APC

The APCC features a wide range of production cars, categorised into several classes based on performance characteristics. This class structure ensures that cars of similar capabilities compete against each other, creating fair and exciting racing.

APC Classes

• Class X - Ultimate Performance: The top tier for the most powerful and advanced cars.

• Class A1 - Extreme Performance Forced Induction: High-performance cars with turbocharged engines.

• Class A2 - Extreme Performance Naturally Aspirated: High-performance cars with naturally aspirated engines.

• Class B1 - High Performance Forced Induction: Slightly less powerful turbocharged cars compared to Class A1.

• Class B2 - High Performance Naturally Aspirated: Naturally aspirated cars that offer strong performance.

• Class C - Performance: Mid-range performance cars.

• Class D - Production: Standard production cars with minimal modifications.

• Class E - Compact: Smaller, less powerful production cars.

These classes allow for a diverse field, with cars of all types able to compete within their performance bracket.

NSW Production Touring Winner

A beautiful weekend of driving at Sydney Motorsport Park in the NSW Production Touring R3. We couldn't get Ronin out of the seat after Sydney 300 so we left him there ready for Test & Tune on Friday.

Head Coach Phil Alexander made the day about car familirisation and spacial awareness out on track. This was Ronin's second race in an SP25 having previously driven at Winton.

Saturday was qualifying and an 18 minute race. Qualified second in class and ending up second in first race with the best time being a 1:55.3 - a two second improvement on his fastest qualifying lap.

Sunday rolled round with yet more beautiful weather. Ronin's driving improved yet again with his fastest lap in the final race a 1:54.8. Managed to take out first place in the class in the two races on Sunday which gave us the podium win for the round.

Massive congrats to Ronin who has gone from strength to strength. Improving by 4 seconds over the weekend is a huge feather in your cap and another win under the belt is just awesome!

SYDNEY 300 RUNDOWN

Drivers Ronin Linden-Mayer and Michael Buckley had a blast over the weekend taking on the Pitcher Partners Sydney 300. Both drivers new faces amongst the crowd and stepping into the higher level of racing in the RaceAway Mazda MX5. The goal for the weekend - race with the big kids and bring the car home, and boy did they do just that.

The times started out around 2:08 during practice, and knocked off 2 seconds for qualifying. Head coach Phil Alexander commenting that the drivers in the field were really pushing their cars to the limit. This was evident when the sun went down and the Sydney 300 started. Safety flag after safety flag resulting in 19 DNF's.

The MX5 took a turn during a safety flag restart with Buckley holding his own at the front of 30 cars until turn 8 when a tap in the right hand rear caused a spin and left him exposed to the oncoming traffic. He was able to limp (emphasis on limp) the car into pit lane with the damage assessed as a steering arm, panel work and broken wheel. The crew sprung into action - race tape, jack and spare wheel at the ready. Phil's extensive knowledge in endurance racing prioritising the repairs required to effect a quick turn around. Where most teams would pack up, the crew pulled together and were able to get the car out to finish the final 5 laps and take the chequered flag.

The boys running their fastest lap - a 2:00 flat, showing a solid improvement over the weekend and continuing our 100% finish rate in the Sydney 300.

Phils comments about the weekend "it was a steep learning curve for both drivers, they gained invaluable knowledge in race craft, bring-the-car-home ethos and driving with the big kids"

A massive thanks to our stellar team, Ben Swatton, Jack Winter, Scott Freestone, Karen Alexander and Rod Tippett. You came together and got the car back on the field whilst supporting the drivers - couldn't ask for more

Shout out to Motor Racing Australia and Pitcher Partners for another fantastic event. See you next year!
