History Maker in Action
Energy Corse Australia continued its tilt at the SP Tools Australian Kart Championship over the weekend at the Newcastle Kart Club.
With 10 drivers ranging from the beginning Cadet 9 up to the Senior Division of KA3 Senior, the team were once again looking for strong results.
Flack, who was running 2nd in the championship coming into the weekend, led the charge in qualifying with a brilliant 6th position. Burke was able to land just outside the top 10 in position 13, with Wasley and Larsen in position 19 and 23.
Flack was able to lead the way for the team in the heats with victory in heat 2 and heat 4 and 2nd in the opening heat. Burke, Wasley and Larsen all had strong results in the heat, with Burke as high as position 3, Wasley as high as position 8 and Larsen as high as position 9. Lana Flack was able to get the crucial jump in the final and led out of the opening lap.
Flack put in a stellar performance and was able to do a 27-year female first in taking an Australian Kart Championship round victory! Wasley was able to come home just outside the top 15 in position 17, with Larsen and Burke both having unfortunate ends to their weekend with DNF results.
Paige Flack took on the Cadet 9 class in a solo driver attack for the Energy Corse Australia team. Flack set competitive times in qualifying to land just outside the top 15 in position 16 overall. Paige was able to show excellent pace in the heat and able to move her way forward with 2 top 10 finishes in 9th for heat 2 and heat 4. Flack was putting in a storming drive in the final and was as high as 6th position before a heart breaking DNF end her weekend charge.
Team Manager and former national champion Cian Fothergill spoke post weekend on his teams winning weekend!
“Lana grabbing her first win at the SP Tools Australian Kart Championship was great to see. Newcastle has always been a technical track for both the drivers and kart setup. To grab a round win here was a great effort by the team. Now onto our home track for the next round”.
