Daniel Radivo (W-Class) demonstrated his skill by finishing fourth overall with a time of 22:21.5. Radivo showed great pacing, posting a solid 01:33.9 in his first lap, and despite a slower finish, his performance put him in contention for a top-five spot.

Greg Jaeschke, also in P-Class, rounded out the top five with a competitive time of 22:32.2. Jaeschke's runs were mostly consistent, though his late laps seemed to lose a bit of momentum. Nevertheless, his effort earned him a solid position within the top five, proving his tenacity and skill.

Dean Bray in J-Class finished sixth overall with a time of 22:56.8. Bray’s performance was solid, with a strong series of laps despite the challenging conditions. His time of 01:37.4 in Run 3 highlighted his strengths, though a few slower runs kept him from breaking into the top five.

Round 3 of the championship delivered some thrilling racing action, with competitors across various classes battling it out for supremacy. The intensity on the track was palpable, as each lap brought new challenges, and the field was tighter than ever. Here’s how the race unfolded:

S-Class saw a dominant performance from Justin Aylett, who secured the victory with a total time of 19:59.9, despite a 10-second penalty. His consistent runs, including a fast lap of 01:19.9, showed his strength and composure, helping him maintain his position at the top. Justin’s smooth driving and ability to adapt to the pressure ensured that no one could catch him, making it clear that he’s a serious contender this season.

In P-Class, it was Ben McKee who took the second spot with a time of 20:52.0, trailing Aylett by 52.066 seconds. McKee was a strong contender throughout, with his fastest lap of 01:24.2 keeping him competitive, though a few slower laps and a penalty ultimately prevented him from closing the gap to Aylett. Still, his second-place finish sets him up well for the next rounds.

Warren Mitchelson performed exceptionally well in C-Class, finishing in 20:55.4 and taking the win in his class. His performance was solid across the board, with a strong 01:22.4 lap leading the way. Mitchelson’s consistency paid off as he managed to outpace the competition, including Russell Smith, who finished in fourth place overall.

Speaking of P-Class, Russell Smith finished fourth with a time of 21:34.4, just over a minute behind Ben McKee. Smith showed flashes of brilliance, including a fast 01:25.5, but struggles with consistency and a penalty prevented him from mounting a challenge for the podium.

J-Class had some fierce competition, and Bryce McKee clinched the 5th spot overall with a time of 21:45.5, despite a 10-second penalty. His fastest lap of 01:26.9 was impressive, but slower runs, like his 02:12.3, hindered his chances of climbing higher. Nevertheless, McKee’s performance placed him comfortably within the top five.

J-Class’s Jai McKee secured the 6th place with a time of 22:47.7. A penalty and some inconsistent lap times, including a 02:21.4, kept him from advancing further, but he remains a contender with some strong individual runs throughout the race.

In J-Class, Tyler McKee finished in 7th place with a time of 23:41.9, showing promise early on but struggling with consistency. His 15-second penalty and a few late mistakes, including a 02:33.6 lap, ultimately left him out of the top six.

Meanwhile, Travis Robson finished in 8th place in P-Class with a time of 23:58.4, just shy of the top competitors. His performance included a 40-second penalty, which impacted his overall standing. Still, Robson showed resilience with a solid start, but he couldn’t quite find the rhythm in the latter stages of the race.

Hamish Bowden-Robson had a steady run, finishing in 9th place with a time of 24:13.0. His penalty-free run was marred by slower lap times, including a 02:52.1, which ultimately held him back. Nonetheless, his performance in J-Class showed that he's capable of competitive results in the upcoming rounds.

In P-Class, Bemjamin Oyler finished in 10th place with a time of 25:23.4, hindered by a 40-second penalty and some inconsistent laps, like his 02:52.1. Oyler’s race was filled with challenges, but he’ll certainly be looking to bounce back in future rounds.

Frank Garraway had a tough race in P-Class, finishing in 11th place with a time of 25:40.0. Though he avoided penalties, his slower laps, including a 02:47.1, pushed him down the standings.

Zack Oyler, also racing in J-Class, struggled to find the pace necessary to challenge for a top spot, finishing in 12th place with a time of 26:27.3 and a 35-second penalty. While his performances varied throughout the race, the penalty and slower laps, including a 02:43.2, prevented him from finishing any higher.

Round 3 has set the stage for what promises to be an exciting championship battle. With drivers like Justin Aylett in S-Class and Ben McKee in P-Class showing their mettle, the pressure is on for the upcoming rounds. Each race is likely to bring surprises, with close margins and fierce competition across all classes. As the championship progresses, expect more intense rivalries and spectacular racing.

Round 4 of the championship brought even more excitement to the track, with each class delivering fierce competition and standout performances. The racers pushed their limits across 12 grueling runs, navigating changing conditions and tight margins to fight for every position. Here’s how it all played out:

C-Class belonged to Warren Mitchelson, who not only dominated his class but also claimed the outright win. With a total time of 30:28.521, Mitchelson showed off his speed and consistency, stringing together impressive lap times across all 12 runs. His fastest sector came with a 1:44.190, a blistering pace that helped him hold off all challengers. A clean race with no penalties sealed his status as the driver to beat in Round 4.

In W-Class, it was Sandra Cuttle who led the charge, finishing second overall and first in class with a time of 33:00.862. Despite some pressure from behind, Cuttle kept her cool and delivered a steady performance across all segments, even laying down a fast 1:44.798 lap. Her flawless drive, penalty-free and well-paced, proved she’s a serious contender in the women’s class this season.

P-Class saw Bemjamin Oyler take top honors in third overall with a time of 37:23.176, despite receiving a 5-second penalty. Oyler’s race was a rollercoaster of fast laps—like his 1:54.731—and some tougher ones, including a 6:40 opener. While the penalty slightly hurt his standing, his resilience and pace were enough to secure a strong finish in both his class and the overall standings.

Finishing just behind Oyler was Daniel Radivo, who took second in W-Class and fourth overall with a time of 38:35.208. Radivo pushed hard, throwing down solid mid-race laps like his 1:50.021, but a hefty 20-second penalty ultimately cost him a shot at the podium. His determination, however, suggests he’s one to watch in future rounds.

J-Class had a standout performer in Zack Oyler, who claimed fifth place overall and first in class with a time of 42:20.690. Although he was handed a 15-second penalty, his effort in the middle stages—particularly his 2:13.739—showed real speed. With a few refinements, Zack could start climbing higher in the outright standings.

Justin Aylett, racing in S-Class, took sixth place overall with a time of 45:37.658, including a significant 50-second penalty. Aylett opened strong, but some inconsistent laps and mistakes in the later stages—despite a fast 1:51.430—dropped him down the ranks. Nevertheless, his pace is undeniable, and if he can clean up his penalties, he’ll be a serious threat.

In W-Class, Stacey Thomas earned third in class and seventh overall with a time of 45:46.181. Her run was clean and steady, highlighted by a fast 2:38.483. While not the quickest overall, her consistency and penalty-free performance kept her firmly in the fight.

Rounding out the top eight was Max Radivo, who finished fourth in W-Class and eighth outright with a time of 47:38.369. A 20-second penalty and a few slower laps late in the race cost him valuable time, though his early pace and clean sectors suggest there’s untapped potential waiting to shine through.

Round 4 has shaken up the standings and made clear that consistency, speed, and clean racing are all crucial to success. With names like Mitchelson, Cuttle, and Oyler asserting themselves, the championship is shaping into a battle of skill, strategy, and endurance. As the competition heads into the next round, all eyes will be on who can maintain their momentum—and who’s ready to bounce back.
