Team Benson Racing

Racing Utes! Thanks to Chris and 24Red racing for an awesome Father’s Day!

Wooohoo, fun fun fun. He’s an action shot and the first 3 minutes of the first race … super close racing and the sequential gear box makes you feel like a V8 super car driver!

So…. It’s been a minute… racing tomorrow in this beast! Looking forward to have a Father’s Day skid!

Some days don’t end so well, just so grateful that Alan was unhurt. Car aqua planned in extreme wet conditions on the front straight and it was all over. Big thanks and condolences to 24 Red Racing and Chris O'Driscoll on the state of the mighty civic and congrats to the other 24red racing team that managed awesome result winning the 6 hour in it’s class! Hoping the civic lives to see another day!

She’s a wet race, but the little civic is smashing out the laps!!

Hey team, Hampton Downs, GT-PRO class in this fantastic little Civic again thanks to 24 Red Racing. Racing starts at 11am and we won’t be done till 5pm… come down and see how we’re getting on! Let’s go!!

That’s a rap, car got back on the track thanks to some parts and help from a fellow competitor and Mike and Jame got a stint of driving each. Car ended up finishing strong in the race, 31st overall and 71 laps down. James and Mike did a great job and pulling back some places. Overall all a little disappointing but that’s the racing animal in me talking, but really I still had the best time driving and hanging out with some awesome humans. I did the first stint on the short track and had an absolute blast! Loved every minute and every overtake… Pukekohe Race Track, it’s still saddens me that your days are numbered and by April the race track despite all it’s history and importance in the NZ racing family will be closed. Thanks for the memories, but still such a shame… big thanks as always to 24red racing and Chris for the opportunity and Amanda for her support. cheers team.

After changing many many parts, we’re pretty sure it’s this thing that was the issue… red flag at the moment, will know more when the green flag drops

Oh dear, car stopped… off to repco for a new fuel pump

Getting excited!! Race day
