Our final day at the bend for round 3 was a ripper. Mild temperatures and bright skies ☀️

We started race 2 out of position 4, quickly moving up to 3rd by turn 6. With a strong car under us, we made a charge towards the front making a clean pass Troy Dontas under brakes on the 2nd last corner to take 2nd place.
A few laps later, one small mistake running wide on a corner found a pothole that damaged the front wheel and the tyre started to go flat. We were caught and passed by hard charging Kim Anderson, for us to take 3rd for the race.

We made a brilliant start in the final, taking second place by turn 1 but slipped back into 3rd again within the first 1/2 lap. We settled in for the rest of the race holding 3rd right up to the line, getting pinged by Troy Dontas on the finish line by .007 of a second 🤯.
What we wasn’t aware until post race was that he had a 5 second penalty added to his race time meaning we held the 3rd place and 2nd for the round! 🤩🥳🥈

Hats off to all the other drivers over the weekend, racing hard and fair to make it an action packed enjoyable weekend 🙌

Thank you Dylan at Cooper Racing for the comradery & pit wall communication 🎧

Race one today was WOW 😳 but at the same time, a hell of a lot of fun!
We made a ripper start picking up some
Positions before turn 1 to then have the field spread everywhere on the apex of turn 6.
We had to evade contact by going around the outside, not loosing too many positions.
A few laps later, 2 cars came together on turn 4 spinning in front of us.
Half race, the safety car was called due to a car stopped in a dangerous spot on the final corner. The field bunched up and we were back racing again 2 laps later. Shortly after, another spin in front of us opened 3rd position.
The Stanford mowers entry kept on our heels until half a lap to go, making a well executed pass on the inside just 6 corners to go, crossing the finish line in 4th position.
Very happy with the pace of the car considering the driver is a bit under the weather.
Looking forward to tomorrows races at 11:55 & 3:35 (SA time) live on kayo 📺

Day one at the Bend was a late start for us with qualifying at lunch The rain has stayed away giving us ideal conditions 🙏
Aaron has a bit of a cold 🤧 but pushing as hard as possible 💪
Out of a 18 car field, we completed qualifying in respectable 9th.

Race one is up at 4:10 SA time (4:40 Tas time). Live on Kayo 📺
Full send 🫡

Day 2 of the Circuit Excel NT - CENT North Australian Motor Sports Club (NAMSC) X3 Enduro delivered non-stop action, with Aaron and Dylan each charging through two intense sprint races each 😎

With starting grids shuffled using alternating qualifying times, the racing was tight and unpredictable from the outset. Dylan carved his way through the pack with the biggest gains of the day, while both drivers pushed the limits to set new personal-best lap times 💪

The afternoon was finished off with pit stop practises to sharpen driver swaps and tyre changes. Good time to be gained here 🚀 🛑

All eyes now turn to tomorrow—one final sprint race before the main event: the 100 minute Enduro.

Day 1 done and dusted at Hidden Valley Raceway! 🏁

A magic Top End sunrise kicked things off before both drivers hit the track for individual practice sessions, a combined session, and qualifying. 🌄

The pace kept building all day, with both Aaron and Dylan finding time on every lap while the crew made adjustments between sessions to keep sharpening the package.

Aaron qualified P13 in Driver A, with the next seven cars ahead separated by only one second. It’s tight, and there’s plenty to fight for.

Dylan delivered a strong qualifying run in Driver B, locking in P6 and putting us right in the mix. 💪

Tomorrow is all about sprint racing, moving forward, and climbing the order.

Game on. Heads down. Eyes forward. 🫡

Bump in done and dusted 💪 Prepped & ready to hit track in the morning 🥳

This place is incredible! We thank North Australian Motor Sports Club (NAMSC) & Circuit Excel NT - CENT for putting on this awesome event 😎

Top of 32 degrees tomorrow will help us forget winter is even a season & thankful thongs are approved racing footwear up here 🙏 😂

Race week is here again! 💫
This time, we’re heading somewhere completely different from last weekend’s freezing conditions 🥶
Next stop: The Top End X3 300 Enduro at Hidden Valley 🐊
The car is already on its way north with the legends at GH Haulage Murray Bridge, alongside plenty of other competitors making the journey in convoy.
The action begins Friday with practice and qualifying, followed by several sprint races on Saturday. Sunday will feature a sprint race for each driver before the weekend’s main event—a 100-minute enduro, including three compulsory pit stops for driver and tyre changes 🛞👨🏻‍🔧
