7/8/2026 - Night 4, Thunder in the Canefields 💥
What started out bad turned better but ended up worse, missing the setup in qualifying and heat 1. The track came to us for heat 2 and the rest of the night, until a driver error halfway through the A.
Time trials -
🔵 P24/24
The track was saturated and our car just wasn’t ready for that, Blake hit his marks and ran two smooth laps but they just weren’t fast.
Heat 1 -
🔴 P12 ➡️ P10
The track was still wetter than we thought, we did little to the setup thinning it would be prime for this heat, It wasn’t.
Heat 2 -
🔵 P11 ➡️ P7
Finally the track came to us, Blake was running the ruts and cushions great before a restart where he thought the right rear tyre was going flat. Not wanted to wreck a rim or cause unnecessary damage he limped it across the finish line.
B-main -
🔴 P6 ➡️ P2
After finding absolutely nothing wrong with the right side of the car, we were out of the B. Top 4 transfer to the A, we were following the leader all the way to the chequered flag.
A-main -
🔵 P18 ➡️ DNF
A great jump on the start and some excellent driving through traffic lead the NQ66 to around the 12th spot, 15 laps in Blake jumped the curb on the back straight and slammed into the wall.
Definitely not how we wanted to end our 2nd last night in Cairns but we have shown the momentum and speed we have already, only 5 races into this new class.
Our final race is today, we will tweak a few things to hopefully have some more speed in qualifying to set the rest of our night up better.
A huge thanks to everyone who helped throughout the night, particularly the walkers with their setup tips and tricks!
Thanks to everyone who has reached out to the team via phone or message, it means the world.
Of course, the biggest thanks of all. Our sponsors!
