What a year for the Hancock Racing Team! We're a bit late with the announcements, but we've got lots to share. Ending in the grueling November heat of the Top-End build-up with the high-stakes WDK Enduro, our drivers gave it everything on the track to finish out the 2025 Season with a bang.

Here is how the leaderboard shook out:

Bring on 2026! It is officially our final year of restrictor plates. One more year until the big leagues! Let's get it. ๐Ÿ™Œ

And as always, a big thank you to those who made our season happen; Our invaluable sponsors who helped us get to Darwin - FH Laser Works, Junction Engineering Group, Hussey Corp and Robon Electrical; our co-competitors who make every race meet a good one; Weipa Dirt Karts and their dedicated committee, as well as the volunteers who help make stuff happen; and our friends and family who follow along for the ride.

๐Ÿ Last day of racing for Weipa Dirt Karts in 2025 is always our hotly contested Enduro event. โžก๏ธ Two short heats before the Winner-takes-all Final with a gruelling 20 lap battle for the podium.
2025 has been an eventful one, and we know tonight will be no different.
๐Ÿ™Œ Good luck to all the competitors and our HRT drivers! May the speed be with you. ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ†
๐Ÿ™ Also a huge shout out to our tireless organisers and volunteers. You make magic happen every race day. โœจ

That left ๐’๐š๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ž๐ฅ to take on the racing spotlight โ€” and he made it count.

Despite a late nomination forcing him to start ๐‘๐ž๐š๐ซ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐…๐ข๐ž๐ฅ๐ [๐‘๐Ž๐…] in all three heats, Samuel came armed with fresh tips and tricks from his recent NT Titles campaign. He wasted no time putting them to work.

โšก Charging through the grid with sharp moves and fearless racing, Samuel went wheel-to-wheel with front-runner Maxy in a thrilling battle.

It was a standout night of playbook racing โ€” calculated, aggressive, and smart. If this performance is a sign of things to come, the rest of the season promises fireworks ๐ŸŽ‡.

With the karts only just back from Darwin late Friday night, ๐‹๐ฎ๐œ๐š๐ฌ swapped the driverโ€™s seat for the toolbox ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ”ง, stepping up as Head Mechanic. He threw his support behind his younger siblings and the clubโ€™s newest lilโ€™ Midget, ๐Š๐ž๐ข๐š๐ซ๐ซ๐š๐ก - who, by the way, has been part of the trackside scene since she could walk, and is now taking to the driving like a duck to water ๐Ÿฆ†.

It was the second meet of the season with ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐ž๐ž ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ ๐ซ๐ข๐, and the action didnโ€™t disappoint.

๐Ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ wasted no time finding her groove โ€” already looking at home in the kart ๐Ÿš€ and showing her quad bike and buggy experience translates seamlessly to the track. She didnโ€™t need a lesson on the accelerator, thatโ€™s for sure.

Her arrival has injected fresh spark ๐Ÿ”ฅ into the juniorsโ€™ division. For the originals, ๐€๐ฆ๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ž and ๐‘๐ข๐ฅ๐ž๐ฒ, the challenge has been just what they needed โ€” pushing their limits, lifting their game, and finding new speed with every lap.

While Olly remains the benchmark, Amelie and Riley are clearly growing in confidence ๐Ÿ’ช, steadily building their race-craft and driving skills.

With only four meets left in the season, the stage is set for plenty of drama. The juniorsโ€™ competition is heating up โ€” and with momentum building, itโ€™s anyoneโ€™s game ๐Ÿ†.

The rookiesโ€™ grid was one short this week, with ๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ž๐› sidelined by an irresistible rival event โ€” a ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ญ๐ก๐๐š๐ฒ ๐๐š๐ซ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐’๐ฅ๐ž๐ž๐ฉ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‚. The lure of cake and late-night fun proved stronger than the kart seat this time.

But the break will be short-lived. Caleb is set to return for the next round, ready to swap party games for racing lines ๐ŸŽ๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ and rejoin the rookie battle.
