NSW Production Touring Winner
Winner winner! Driver Ronin Linden-mayer takes home first place in the NSW Production Touring round 3 at Sydney Motorsport Park driving the One Raceway Mazda SP25.
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!
Big thanks to our partners over at One Raceway we were stoked to be able to represent the new track with a class win 🏆🏆🏆
Winton 300 - 1st in Class
Pole position in the Winton 300, RaceAway Mazda SP25 taking on the iconic mini enduro at Winton Raceway with drivers Manarth Prasad and Ronin Linden-Mayer. Having practiced at Pheasant Wood Circuit the boys were ready to step it up from the Deputy 4 Hour to the state level NSW Production Touring round.
What an AWESOME weekend at the Winton 300. The team took Manarth Prasad and Ronin Linden-mayer down to the Victorian track, the first state level race for the boys. Taking on NSW Production Touring was the next level for both racers stepping up from track days and smaller club racing. Having practiced the week before in the Deputy 4 Hour, both drivers were ready to take on the longer track noting there were several straights to work on getting up to speed.
The nature of Winton is well suited to having trained at Pheasant Wood Circuit with nice sweeping straights followed by really tight corners that come back on themselves. Head coach Phil Alexander saying that he worked with the drivers on developing a consistent cornering and braking sequence whilst being mindful of keeping the car balanced particularly into turn 7. Prasad noted the straights were a great way to gain speed and working on the corner exit really set them up.
Fantastic to have the team bring home pole position for class E with many other competitors noting the drivers excellent traffic management particularly in amongst the faster cars.
Huge thanks to the crew: Kai Barlow and Toony Moore both on driver assist and spanners. Karen Alexander for socials management and driver welbeing and Head Coach Phil Alexander once again heading up the team.
Congrats boys - one for the pool room!
