Sabre Racing Cars

Race 1 completed. A mixed race for Nathan as he was up to third place early but a spin on lap 3 saw him drop down the order into nineth place. Declan in the meantime was working his way forward after loosing two places off the line.

By lap six Nathan had forged his way back up to sixth place. Declan, who was in a tough three car battle for positions seven through nine was down to nineth again but looking quicker that the other two cars.

At the flag Nathan had recovered to finish in 5th position and Declan with a personal best finish crossed the line to take 6th place.

Race 2 is not far away at 2:45pm. Not live streaming vision this weekend but live timing is available via Natsoft Race Results.

A great job by both Nathan and Declan in the just completed qualifying session. Both guys put in personal best performances with Nathan qualifying 4th and Declan 6th.

Very pleased with both guys.

Practice day for Round 5 of the FVAV Club Championship. Winton is the venue, and the weather has decided to be difficult. Two wet sessions completed so far with one to go later this afternoon.

Declan and Nathan both dialling themselves in on old rubber today.

2026 Australian Formula Vee Nationals final completed with the Sabre 02 drivers putting in a great effort filling five of the top ten positions. The race was interupted by a lengthy safetycar period which was a shame. Whilst never close enough to make a challenge for the lead on a track that has little in the way of passing opportunities, Aaron Pace topped of a really solid weekend picking up third place. Close behind, again with a really strong weekend, Curtis Porter grabbed fourth position.

On their first visit to One Raceway, Andre Curin drove a strong race to greet the chequred flag in fifth with fellow Victorian competitor Blake Purvis securing sixth.

Geoff Bennett had a good final getting himself a top ten finish by taking nineth place, making it five Sabre 02's inside the top ten.

Matthew Harriot finished just outside the top ten in twelfth place. Rod Lisson had a solid race taking sixteenth whilst Cam Bell, and Jason Fowler who where both running higher up in the order found each other at Turn 1 on the final lap, seeing Cam finishing twenty third and Jason with a DNF. Kathy Lisson was a DNS and took no part in the final event of the weekend.

Well done to the each of the podium getters, winner - Craig Sparke, second place getter - Michael Kinsella, and third placed - Aaron Pace.

For the Sabre 02 drivers, a great showing by each of you right through the field all weekend, congratulations to all of you.

Andre Curin suffered a compromised start that had him drop well down the order and a good recover drive to thirteenth was the best he could muster, just in front of Matt Harriott who took fourteenth and Cam Bell a little further back in sixteenth.

Jason Fowler found the dry conditions more to his liking allowing him to take the flag in nineteenth.
