Sabre Motorsport

A good weekend for the team, topped with a couple of race wins and many improved lap times.
The crew worked well to keep the cars reliable and the drivers did a pretty good job of getting the cars back in one piece!

A good start for our rookies and a great environment for them to be in with the teams support and driver training.

Thanks to those who came out and supported as always and Jarod Carruthers Photography for the photos!

The team were at the Feilding Auto Electrical Manfeild Winter series over the weekend. The team were running 5 cars including Speedsport Scholarship winner Dylan Grant having his first days at the office.

Testing saw the team having a busy day on Saturday with some much needed mileage which showed some impressive pace. One of the cars ended the day with a gearbox issue but nothing the team couldn’t handle with them working into the evening to make sure the car was ready for the morning.

A varied qualifying saw the cars spread out through the grid. The first race however saw Louis Sharp and Hayden Bakkerus ser the two fastest lap times on their way to 3rd and 4th respectively. This meant a front row lockout for races 2 and 3. Another competitive 3rd and 4th still showed promise. Race 3 though had a chang of result. Louis Sharp took the win and the chocolate fish with Hayden in 4th. Dylan had a good weekend getting some good mileage and progressing well with getting use to the car

Hayden now leads the series with one round to go
