Southern Cross Racing est 2021

SEBRING 12HR DONE ✅🏁

What a day… what a mess… what a drive.
Started P1 with the lineup: Poli, Clydesdale, Logan, Baker Jr. — and honestly, we rolled into this one running purely on vibes. No real strategy, no proper stint plan… that didn’t come until about 2 hours to go 😅

Poli launched us off the line from pole, but Sebring chaos hit early. Cold tyres, traffic everywhere, cars going every direction — dropped back to P6 but kept it clean and consistent when it mattered most.

Clydesdale jumped in next and was thrown straight into the deep end. 49° track temp, endless traffic, and a slight wall tap didn’t make life easy — but he dug in, stayed composed, and got the job done over a tough double stint.

Then came Baker Jr… and let’s just say there were concerns after last year 😬
This time? 17x in 2 hours — but somehow dragged the car from P11 to P7 without passing anyone. Still trying to figure that one out.

Poli back in the car next and absolutely sent it. Consistency, pace, and experience showing — clawed us all the way back up to P2 and turned the Porsche into a weapon.

Right on cue… the Logan-ator finally arrived after a long day of “team management” (and a spa day 💅). Calm, cool, and clinical — jumped in, took P2 out of the pits and built a massive gap with pure consistency. Elite stint.

Final 2.5 hours — Baker Jr again.
P2. 3 incident points left before a penalty.
It got tense… fast.
49/50 incident points with under 2 hours to go 😬
But under pressure, he delivered. Kept it clean, stayed within the lines, and brought it home strong with no penalty — finishing P4 after 12 hours of absolute carnage.

We might’ve gone backwards on paper, but this was one of our best endurance rounds as a team. Effort, chaos, laughs, and some seriously solid driving across the board.

Short and sweet from us as we’re all off to get some sleep!

Huge thanks to all our sponsors and supporters for backing us, and especially our families for letting us lock ourselves away for 12 hours of carnage ❤️

🏁 SOUTHERN CROSS RACING – IMSA BATHURST RECAP (LAST SATURDAY) 28th Feburary

Southern Cross Racing took on the mountain in a brutal 2-hour IMSA multiclass enduro at Mount Panorama Circuit — and it delivered everything.

High-speed traffic.
Zero margin for error.
Concrete walls waiting for the smallest mistake.

🟢 Poli Took It Head-On

Mick Poli strapped into the Ford Mustang GT4 and faced relentless multiclass chaos from start to finish.

The traffic was insane.

Prototypes and faster GT machinery were constantly swarming, especially across Skyline, The Esses, and into Forrest’s Elbow. Closing speeds were savage. One lapse in focus would’ve ended it.

But Poli stayed locked in.

💪 Committed to his racing line

🧠 Managed traffic with composure

🧱 Kept the car clean over two hours

🎯 Delivered when it mattered

He didn’t wait for opportunities — he took them. Clean, decisive, controlled.

🔥 Hard-Earned P9 Finish

After two hours of nonstop pressure, Poli crossed the line in P9 — a strong top-ten result in stacked IMSA multiclass competition.

No panic.
No wild lunges.
Just disciplined endurance racing.

Last Saturday wasn’t about survival — it was about proving Southern Cross Racing can fight in the thick of IMSA traffic and come out the other side with a result.

Two hours.
The Mountain.
Position 9.

That’s how you take on Bathurst.
