A full grid of eager young racers, giving their all, no matter what the weather threw at them. Race 3 from round 1 of QJC

How amazing on International Women's Day to have up and coming QJC racer Emily Moore setting a new lap record on the National Circuit of 1:37:404 surpassing Connor Lewis's record from 2025 of 1:37.960. Over a half second faster.

Congratulations Emily we could not be more proud of your achievement.
