As most are aware we built an evo track car early in the year with intention to take on events such as the Wakefield 300, and production touring cars and much more. The Wakefield 300 was our debut event with the evo. The car was completed the Friday of the 300 weekend. On Friday practise the car gave some good signs that it would be a good package. On Saturday the car continued to improve, and in the rain it was one of the faster cars out there, and in finally we qualified 15th for the race. Finally Race day came and we got off to a good start with Pedro taking the first stint, and the car looked very strong, with a couple of safety cars and plenty of on track action we managed to climb to 5th place while still on the lead lap. We pitted on lap 68 and still on the lead lap, unfortunately things to a turn, and the pit stop was quite a long one. We finally got back out after losing 8 laps and being knocked back to 25th, Jason took over the reigns, and did an exceptional job. He climbed back to 12th place while doing his best to conserve fuel as we were running on empty by the time he got the chequered flag. All in all it was an exciting race and a great experience.
