Arrive N Drive at One Raceway Racing: A Thrilling NSW Production Touring Weekend with Race Car Hire
The RaceAway Track Time team delivered an outstanding performance at the recent NSW Production Touring round held at One Raceway Racing. The team fielded two race cars—an RX8 driven by rising star Ronin Lindenmayer, and a Mazda SP25 piloted by the duo of Phil Alexander and John Connolly. The event featured three action-packed 40-minute endurance races that tested the drivers’ skill, patience, and consistency. It was a weekend of pure motorsport excitement, featuring hard-fought wet-weather battles on Saturday and impressive performances across the board. For enthusiasts looking to get involved in the sport, race car hire from RaceAway Track Time provided an accessible route to competitive racing.

Ronin Lindenmayer Shines in the Mazda RX8
Despite being in his first year of competitive motorsport, Ronin Lindenmayer showcased remarkable talent and control in the team’s Mazda RX8. Throughout the three endurance races, he steadily improved his lap times, pushing closer to the benchmarks set by seasoned RX8 racers. Head Coach Phil Alexander praised his rapid progress and consistency:
“Ronin’s consistency in times is exceptional, especially for only having started his motorsport career this year. Having times within a second of really experienced RX8 racers is nothing to sniff at.”
Ronin’s achievements peaked during Race 3, where he clocked a best time of 1:12.8560. Moreover, he consistently lapped in the 1:13 range, proving that talent, combined with the right coaching and track time, leads to significant improvements in a short period.
Ronin’s Best Times:
Race 1: 1:13.1050
Race 2: 1:13.4500
Race 3: 1:12.8560

Alexander & Connolly Adapt in the Mazda SP25
Meanwhile, Phil Alexander and John Connolly faced extreme weather conditions in their Mazda SP25. With heavy rain impacting Race 1, visibility was a major concern—especially for a Class E car at the tail end of the pack. Still, the pair demonstrated adaptability, maintaining steady lap times and progressively moving through the field. As Phil Alexander noted:
“Consistency is really important in motorsport, particularly in endurance racing, because it’s what brings the car home in the end.”
The team came home on the podium in second place with a smack on the wrist to the chief for pulling into the pits too fast - obviously needed a toilet stop.
Alexander & Connolly’s Best Times:
Race 1: 1:14.7650
Race 2: 1:14.1510
Race 3: 1:14.0050
