Jacob Currie Racing

Another shocking day to add to the ADL 500 collection. Had coil pack issues all through race 1, while also finding the wall with the rear of the car in the opening lap. Felt like race 2 was going to be the break through race for the weekend, until I was left with nowhere to go in the lap 1 pile up at turn 4. The chassis was deemed a write off with the front end pushed over beyond repair, but we’ve got it together to see if we can make anything work tomorrow in the final race.

What a roller coaster of a weekend.

On Saturday we lost one of our best mates in the racing paddock. One of the nicest guys in South Australian Motorsport taken from us far too soon. Saturdays race was abandoned as a category agreement in respect for Shane and his family. Sunday was definitely a tough day for a lot of us. Rolling around behind Shane’s car in the final race was an extremely honouring experience, getting to see the bumper of his car in front of us for one final time.
I went out with nothing but Shane on my mind and tried to race hard like he would’ve wanted, and managed to take home p10 overall after some pretty rookie moments in race 3 and 4. It was very moving to see the impact that he had on the category and the sport in general after we lost him.

All in all it was a pretty successful weekend, cracking into the top 10, and not having a single hiccup from our engine we built in the garage at home.
I would once again like to thank everyone who helped me get out on track this weekend, including the generous people in my supporters club!

My deepest thoughts go out to Shane’s family and friends, he was one of a kind.

Absolutely shattering day yesterday. We lost a mate, a mentor and a fellow competitor loved by all. It was truly a pleasure having the opportunity to race against you and always be the first one to have good banter after the race. You will be deeply missed by the entire community, and I will forever miss our laughs at the track. Rest easy Shane.

Day 2 out at the bend today. Pretty successful first race back in the Battery World Aussie Racing Cars Super Series yesterday! Can’t wait to get out for race 2 today and see if we can stay in the top 10 again!
Can’t thank my supporters enough for helping to get me here.
