Incar  footage of Taupo Super V8s - R1 Taupo 11-13 April 2025

After getting out of hospital on the Monday  from bad flu and blood infection I was still looking forward to the meeting

Race 1 - Taupo Supercars Round April 11-13th 2025

Had no power steer from Lap 1 so it was very difficult to manhandle the car with those big front Goodyear tyres 

I was hit from back and from the side and big regretable incident T13 end of back straight

I tried to avoid it with everything I had - reduced speed from 256 to 154 (over 100kph) but still not enough to avoid collision- this is a part of the circuit that my car can be very quick - was classed as an avoidable incident so was penalised 30 seconds to overall time putting me back from 2nd to 7th on the grid for R2  but still managed to get 2nd and closing in on 1st

Race 2 Taupo V8 Supercars Round

Starting back in grid from P7 because of time penalty from R1

Enjoyable run thru the field - but suffered contact in the LH front wheel and side and rear

Sorry to have to say we had  a dnf  Race 3 on Sunday  when battery went flat - was at 12 volts and went down to 6 - after SC came out  and was attempting to close the field up  but was too slow for our car which meant we were consuming more power than we were generating in an already taxed system.

Got race Lap record & fastest race Lap time of 1.27.5139
