"Whoo. That's TQ and the Win at IRC.

WRC SBXE.1 was on it today across a wide array of track surfaces. Had heaps of fun racing and navigated the blown out sections of track as the day went on.

VP Pro Gripz were well balanced providing consistent grip without hooking into ruts unsettling the car, performance was great in both the wet and dry.

Thanks to the IRC for running this event. Very smooth and a great bunch of guys.

Thanks to Essential RC Pty Ltd for the continued support.

 

VP-Pro Driver : Pete Coombs, 2nd 

"We had such a great day yesterday for round one of the iRC offroad season, very hot and dry conditions kept the track condition interesting while we desperately tryed to keep the moisture in the clay by watering every second run. But the track held together great and there was some epic racing in the ep8 class with alot of close battle and fast guys stepping up and pushing hard.

I Qualified in position 2 in my SOAR Td1rE.2 for the finals narrowly getting pipped by fellow VP-PRO driver Nathan Tanti. We had some incredible races in the heats with lots of clean passing and close racing.

In the finals i placed 2nd, 1st, 2nd giving me 2nd place over all for the day, so pumped to have had a good result with the quality of driver that we had at the track yesterday, Monty Nguyen (3rd) was crazy fast all day taking fastest lap, also Matt Seckold, Len Cowan and Corey Ellis all put in great drives to finish in their respective places.

I found the VP-Pro Axeman in m3 was perfect for me in the rough and hot conditions, a very forgiving tyre with very low wear throughout the day. Thanks to everyone at iRC offroad for the fantastic days racing, also a huge thankyou to Theo Assa at Soar Speedbull Australia and VP-Pro Australia for all the continued support.
