Today was Round 2 of the IRC Off Road Club Series for 2021. It was a perfect day for racing with the temperature hovering around 25C, a slight breeze and the sun out.
Team drivers Mitchell Scott and Theo Assa were in attendance.
Q1 started off horribly for Mitch with a clutch issue forcing him out early. Theo started brilliantly taking 1st place.
Mitch once again suffered issues in Q2 pushing him to the bottom of the pack. Theo finished strongly once again with a P2 position in Q2.
In Q3 Mitch finally had the gremlins sorted out and took the win. Theo finished in 3rd position.
Q4 (final round); Mitch once again took the win. Unfortunately, Theo had a receiver battery issue forcing him out of the race early.
After all racers dropped their worst qualifier to seed into finals, Theo started 2nd and Mitch 3rd for the finals.
Due to lower numbers, finals were ran as 3 x 7min finals. After all finals were completed, Mitch took the overall win with Theo finishing in 2nd place. Some brilliant and close racing was had.
Another 1st and 2nd podium for VP Pro Aus Team Drivers here in Australia.
Tires of choice for the day/track conditions were VP PRO GRIPZ EVO -VP813 and VP PRO TURBO TRAX EVO -VP804
